  (a) In the event the Company has not consummated an initial public offering by March 30, 2019, on the earliest of (i) the closing of an initial public offering of the Company, (ii) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation, or (iii) March 30, 2022 (the Series B Dividend Payment Date), to the extent funds are legally available, each holder of Series B Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive a fixed cash dividend of point seventy five percent (0.75%) per quarter of the Series B Preference Share Purchase Price per share (the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend) for each Series B Preference Share held by such holder outstanding at the Series B Dividend Payment Date, accruing without compounding from the first Business Day following March 30, 2019 to the Series B Dividend Payment Date (inclusive of both days, and such period being the Series B Accrual Period); provided that, under no circumstances shall the aggregate Conditional Series B Preference Dividends payable to the holders of Series B Preference Shares exceed an amount equal to the product of (A) 9% and (B) the aggregate Series B Preference Share Purchase Price for the total number of Series B Preference Shares outstanding on the Series B Dividend Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for any partial quarter within the Series B Accrual Period, the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend accrued for such partial quarter shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed for such partial quarter within the Series B Accrual Period and a quarter of 90 days, and shall be included in the aggregate Conditional Series B Preference Dividend accrued through and payable at the Series B Dividend Payment Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon any payment of the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend, the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend shall no longer accrue and, other than as specified in Section 12(c) below, holders of Series B Preference Shares will not have any right to receive any additional dividend. The Conditional Series B Preference Dividend will immediately stop accruing upon any conversion of Series B Preference Shares into any other securities, and upon any such conversion prior to the Series B Dividend Payment Date, any accrued dividend on the applicable Series B Preference Shares so converted shall be forfeited.

 

Page 18


In the event the Company does not provide the Assistance to Sale, the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend shall continue to accrue until such time the Assistance to Sale is rendered. The Conditional Series B Preference Dividend shall cease to accrue before March 30, 2022 upon the Assistance to Sale having been rendered to the holder of Series B Preference Shares.

The accrued and unpaid Conditional Series B Preference Dividend (if applicable) shall be paid before the transfer of any sums to the reserves of the Company. The right of the holder of Series B Preference Shares to the accrued and unpaid Conditional Series B Preference Dividend has priority over the rights of the holders of any other class of shares, and no dividend, whether in cash, in property, in shares of the Company or otherwise, shall be paid on any other class or series of shares of the Company unless and until the accrued and unpaid Conditional Series B Preference Dividend has been paid in full.

 

  (b) After the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend (if applicable) has been paid in full, each holder of Series A Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive a fixed non-cumulative dividend of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Series A Preference Share Purchase Price per share (the Series A Preference Dividend) as and when declared to be distributable by the Directors. The Series A Preference Dividend shall be paid before the transfer of any sums to the reserves of the Company. Subject to the right of the holder of Series B Preference Shares to the accrued and unpaid Conditional Series B Preference Dividend as specified in Article 12(a) above, the right of the holder of Series A Preference Shares to the Series A Preference Dividend has priority over the rights of the holders of any other class of shares, and no dividend, whether in cash, in property, in shares of the Company or otherwise, shall be paid on any other class or series of shares of the Company unless and until the Series A Preference Dividend has been paid in full.

 

  (c) After the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend (if applicable) and the Series A Preference Dividend have been paid in full, the Company may, to the extent funds are legally available, pay dividends (which shall not be cumulative) to the holders of Ordinary Shares, the Series A Preference Shares, the Series B Preference Shares and Seed Preferred Shares who shall share in such dividends on an as-converted basis. If the amount of dividends available is not sufficient to pay the holders of the Ordinary Shares, the Series A Preference Shares, the Series B Preference Shares and the Seed Preferred Shares, the holders of such shall share ratably on a pari passu basis in the amounts paid.

13. Liquidation; Merger etc.

 

  (a) Upon any Liquidation Event:

 

  (i) Each holder of Series B Preference Shares shall be entitled to be paid, before any amount shall be paid or distributed to the holders of Series A Preference Shares, Seed Preferred Shares, holders of the Ordinary Shares or any other shares ranking on liquidation junior to the Series B Preference Shares, an amount per share equal to the Series B Preference Share Purchase Price as may be adjusted in accordance with any agreement between the Company and the holders of Series B Preference Shares, and further subject to any adjustments under Article 15 hereof, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends (including but not limited to the Conditional Series B Preference Dividend (if applicable)) on such Series B Preference Shares (such amount to be adjusted appropriately for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like) (the Series B Liquidation Preference Amount). If the amounts available for distribution by the Company to the holders of Series B Preference Shares upon a Liquidation Event are not sufficient to pay the aggregate Series B Liquidation Preference Amount due to such holders, such holders of Series B Preference Shares shall share ratably on a pari passu basis in any distribution in connection with such Liquidation Event in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

 

  (ii) After the prior payment of the Series B Liquidation Preference Amount, each holder of the Series A Preference Shares shall be entitled to be paid, before any amount shall be paid or distributed to the holders of the Seed Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares or any other shares ranking on liquidation junior to the Series A Preferred Shares, an amount per share equal to the Series A Preference Share Purchase Price as may be adjusted in accordance with any agreement between the Company and the holders of Series A Preference Shares, and further subject to any adjustments under Article 15 hereof, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends (including but not limited to the Series A Preference Dividend) on such Series A Preference Shares (such amount to be adjusted appropriately for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like) (the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount). If the amounts available for distribution by the Company to the holders of Series A Preference Shares upon a Liquidation Event are not sufficient to pay the aggregate Series A Liquidation Preference Amount due to such holders, such holders of Series A Preference Shares shall share ratably on a pari passu basis in any distribution in connection with such Liquidation Event in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

 

  (iii) After the prior payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference Amount and the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount, each holder of the Seed Preferred Shares shall be entitled to be paid, before any amount shall be paid or distributed to the holders of the Ordinary Shares or any other shares ranking on liquidation junior to the Seed Preferred Shares, an amount per share equal to the Seed Preferred Original Purchase Price (as may be adjusted in accordance with any agreement between the Company and the holders of the Seed Preferred Shares), plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on such Seed Preferred Shares (such amount to be adjusted appropriately for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like) (the Seed Preference Amount). If the amounts available for distribution by the Company to the holders of the Seed Preferred Shares upon a Liquidation Event are not sufficient to pay the aggregate Seed Preference Amount due to such holders, such holders of the Seed Preferred Shares shall share ratably on a pari passu basis in any distribution in connection with such Liquidation Event in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

 

Page 20


  (iv) After the prior payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference Amount, the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount and the Seed Preference Amount, the remaining assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to its Members, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preference Shares and Ordinary Shares (but not the holders of Series B Preference Shares or Seed Preferred Shares) then outstanding pro rata based on the number of Ordinary Shares held or deemed held by each holder (assuming full conversion into Ordinary Shares of all such Series A Preference Shares).

 

  (b) For purposes of valuing any securities or other non-cash consideration to be delivered to the holders of the Preference Shares in connection with any merger, consolidation or asset sale which constitutes a Liquidation Event, the following shall apply:

 

  (i) if any such securities are traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of such securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) Business Days prior to the closing;

 

  (ii) if any such securities are traded over the counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of such securities over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) Business Days prior to the closing; and

 

  (iii) if there is no active public market for such securities or other non-cash consideration, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined in good faith by the Company and the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preference Shares, provided that if the Company and such holders of Preference Shares are unable to reach agreement, then by independent appraisal by a mutually agreed to investment banker, the fees of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Page 21


14. Conversion

 

  (a) Preference Shares shall be converted into Voting Ordinary Shares in accordance with the following:

 

  (i) Voluntary Conversion. The holders of Preference Shares may convert such shares into Voting Ordinary Shares at any time upon the written election of the holder thereof and without payment of any additional consideration, each outstanding Preference Share held by such holder shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable Voting Ordinary Share (such one-to-one quotient, the Preference Conversion Rate) subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 15. Any election by a holder pursuant to this Article 14(a)(i) shall be made by written notice to the Company, and such notice may be given at any time and from time to time up to and including the day which is one (1) day prior to the closing of any transaction which constitutes a Liquidation Event.

 

  (ii) Automatic Conversion. Each Preference Share shall automatically be converted, without the payment of any additional consideration, into fully paid and non-assessable Voting Ordinary Shares at the Preference Conversion Rate (subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 15), upon the first to occur of (A) as of, and in all cases subject to, the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, or (B) upon written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of Preference Shares then outstanding.

 

  (iii) Procedure for Conversion.

 

  (A) Upon election to convert pursuant to Article 14(a)(i), the relevant holder or holders of Preference Shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Preference Shares being converted to the Company, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Company (or accompanied by duly executed share powers relating thereto) or shall deliver an affidavit of loss to the Company, at its principal executive office or such other place as the Company may from time to time designate by notice to the holders of the Preference Shares. Upon surrender of such certificate(s) or delivery of an affidavit of loss, the Company shall issue and send by hand delivery, by courier or by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the holder thereof or to such holder’s designee, at the address designated by such holder, certificates for the number of Voting Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion. The issuance of certificates for Voting Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Preference Shares shall be deemed effective and registered in the Register of Members of the Company as of the date of surrender of such Preference Share certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss and will be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other costs incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of such shares.

 

Page 22


  (B) As of the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (the Automatic Conversion Date), all outstanding Preference Shares shall be converted into Voting Ordinary Shares without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such Preference Shares are surrendered to the Company. On the Automatic Conversion Date, all rights with respect to the Preference Shares so converted shall terminate, except any of the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor or delivery of an affidavit of loss thereof to receive certificates for the number of Voting Ordinary Shares into which such Preference Shares have been converted. If so required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon surrender of such certificates or affidavit of loss, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, promptly (and in any event in such time as is sufficient to enable such holder to participate in such Qualified Public Offering) at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of Voting Ordinary Shares into which the Preference Shares surrendered are convertible on the Automatic Conversion Date.

 

  (b) Seed Preferred Shares shall be convertible in accordance with the procedure set forth in Article 14(b)(iii) below:

 

  (i) Voluntary Conversion. At the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such Share at the office of the Company, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Voting Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the Seed Preferred Original Purchase Price (as adjusted for any share Dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) by the Seed Conversion Price. The Seed Conversion Price shall initially be $0.05. Such initial Seed Conversion Price shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

 

  (ii) Automatic Conversion. Each Seed Preferred Share shall automatically (in accordance with the mechanism provided for in Article 14(b)(iii) below) be converted into Voting Ordinary Shares at the then effective Seed Conversion Price, respectively, upon the first to occur of (A) as of, and in all cases subject to, the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, or (B) upon written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

Page 23


  (iii) Procedure for Conversion. Before any holder of Seed Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Voting Ordinary Shares, he, she or it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor at the office of the Company and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Voting Ordinary Shares are to be issued. The Company shall effect such conversion by the redemption of the Seed Preferred Shares to be converted followed by the allotment and issue of such number of Voting Ordinary Shares receivable upon such conversion and such redemption and issue shall be registered in the Register of Members of the Company. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Shares, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Voting Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Seed Preferred Shares to be converted and the Register of Members of the Company shall be updated accordingly, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Voting Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Voting Ordinary Shares as of such date. Unless otherwise designated in writing by the holder of such Seed Preferred Shares, if the conversion is an automatic conversion in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, the conversion will be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, unless otherwise designated in writing by the holders of such Seed Preferred Shares, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Voting Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Seed Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Seed Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

 

  (c) Each Non-Voting Ordinary Share shall automatically be converted, without the payment of any additional consideration, into fully paid and non-assessable Voting Ordinary Shares upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

  (d) Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Conversion

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preference Shares and Seed Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preference Shares and Seed Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preference Shares and Seed Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase the number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, and to reserve the appropriate number of Ordinary Shares for issuance upon such conversion.

15. Adjustments

 

  (a) Issuance of New Shares at Prices below the Series A Preference Conversion Price

Except as provided in Article 15(b) and except in the case of an event described in Article 15(c), if the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with this Article 15(a), deemed to have issued or sold, any new Ordinary Share for a consideration per share less than the Series A Preference Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then, upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Series A Preference Conversion Price for the Series A Preference Shares (the Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price) shall be determined as follows:

NCP = OCP * (OS + (NP/OCP))/(OS + NS)

WHERE:

NCP = the new Series A Preference Conversion Price with respect to such Series A Preference Share,

OCP = the Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price with respect to such Series A Preference Share in effect immediately before the issuance of the new Ordinary Shares,

OS = the total outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately before the issuance of the new Ordinary Shares plus the total Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding Preference Shares and Seed Preferred Shares and exercise of outstanding Options and Convertible Securities,

NP = the total consideration received for the issuance or sale of the new Ordinary Shares, and

NS = the number of new Ordinary Shares issued or sold.

 

Page 25


For purposes of this Article 15(a), the following shall also be applicable:

 

  (i) Issuance of Rights or Options

If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Ordinary Shares or any shares or security convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (such warrants, rights or options being called Options and such convertible or exchangeable shares or securities being called Convertible Securities), in each case for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Article 15(a)(vi)) less than the Series A Preference Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares deemed to have been so issued. Except as otherwise provided in Article 15(a)(iii), no adjustment of the Series A Preference Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

  (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities

If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner issue or sell any Convertible Securities for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Article 15(a)(vi)) less than the Series A Preference Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares deemed to have been so issued; provided, that (1) except as otherwise provided in Article 15(a)(iii), no adjustment of the Series A Preference Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (2) if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities, no further adjustment of the Series A Preference Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

 

Page 26


  (iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate

If, at any time or from time to time, there shall occur a change in (A) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with any Option referred to in Article 15(a)(i) or any Convertible Securities referred to in Article 15(a)(i) or Article 15(a)(ii), (B) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Article 15(a)(i), (C) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Article 15(a)(i) or 15(a)(ii) or (D) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in 15(a)(i) or 15(a)(ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (in each case, other than in connection with an event described in Article 15(b)), then the Series A Preference Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall be readjusted to the relevant Series A Preference Conversion Price and the price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities that are still outstanding provided for such changed maximum number of shares, purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment the conversion price then in effect is thereby reduced; and on the termination of any such Option or any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Series A Preference Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be increased to the conversion price that would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination (i.e., to the extent that fewer than the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued in connection with such Option or Convertible Securities were actually issued), never been issued or been issued at such higher price, as the case may be.

 

  (iv) Share Dividends

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall declare or make, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or make any other distribution upon any shares of the Company payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration, the Series A Preference Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this Article 15(a), and the Seed Conversion Price and the Series B Preference Conversion Price will be similarly adjusted; provided, that no adjustment shall be made to the conversion price as a result of such dividend or distribution if the holders of the Series A Preference Shares, the Seed Preferred Shares and the Series B Preference Shares are entitled to, and do, receive such dividend or distribution in accordance with Article 12; and, provided, further, that if any adjustment is made to the Series A Preference Conversion Price, the Seed Conversion Price and the Series B Preference Conversion Price respectively as a result of the declaration of a dividend and such dividend is not effected, the Series A Preference Conversion Price, the Seed Conversion Price and the Series B Preference Conversion Price shall be appropriately readjusted to the Series A Preference Conversion Price, the Seed Conversion Price and the Series B Preference Conversion Price respectively in effect had such dividend not been declared.

 

Page 27


  (v) Other Dividends and Distributions

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall declare or make, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities or other property of the Company other than Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the outstanding Preference Shares shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of such other securities of the Company or the value of such other property that they would have received had the Preference Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event and had such holders thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities or other property receivable by them during such period giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under Article 15 with respect to the rights of the holders of the outstanding Preference Shares; and, provided, further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of the Preference Shares simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding Preference Shares had been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event.

 

  (vi) Consideration for Shares

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received or to be received by the Company therefor (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Article 15(a)(i) or Article 15(a)(ii), as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the Directors. In case any Ordinary Shares shall be issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration received or to be received by the Company (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Article 15(a)(i) or Article 15(a)(ii), as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the Directors and the holders of a majority of the Series A Preference Shares then outstanding. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Directors and the holders of a majority of the Series A Preference Shares then outstanding.

 

Page 28


  (vii) Record Date

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall take a record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

  (viii) Treasury Shares

The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided, that the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of this Article 15.

 

  (ix) Other Issuances or Sales

In calculating any adjustment to the Series A Preference Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 15(a): (A) any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold pursuant to Article 15(a)(i) or Article 15(a)(ii) above) prior to the effective date of such adjustment, the issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) of which did not result in any adjustment to the Series A Preference Conversion Price under this Article 15(a), shall be deemed to have been issued or sold as part of the issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) giving rise to such adjustment for the same consideration per share as the Company received in the issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) giving rise to such adjustment, and (B) any Options or Convertible Securities that provide, as of the effective date of such adjustment, for the issuance upon exercise or conversion thereof of an indeterminable number of Ordinary Shares shall (together with the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof) be disregarded; provided, that at such time as the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Options or Convertible Securities becomes determinable, the Series A Preference Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Article 15(a)(iii) above.

 

Page 29


  (b) Certain Issues or Transfer of Ordinary Shares Excepted

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Series A Preference Conversion Price in the case of the issuance or transfer of (i) Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Preference Shares or the Seed Preferred Shares; (ii) Ordinary Shares or other awards to acquire Ordinary Shares under the Employee Option Plan and any other employee incentive plan of the Company and/or outside of the Employee Option Plan as approved in accordance with the Investors’ Rights Agreement and these Articles, or (iii) any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company in exchange for the assets or shares of another Person in connection with the acquisition of such Person by the Company, whether by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person, or otherwise, which acquisition has been approved in accordance with these Articles and the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

 

  (c) Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares

In case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall subdivide its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares (by any share split, share dividend or otherwise), the Series A Preference Conversion Price, the Series B Preference Conversion Price and the Seed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and, conversely, in case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall combine its outstanding shares Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares (by any reverse share split or otherwise), the Series A Preference Conversion Price, the Series B Preference Conversion Price and the Seed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. In the case of any such subdivision, no further adjustment shall be made pursuant to Article 15(a)(iv) by reason thereof.

 

  (d) Reorganisation or Reclassification

If, the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall effect any capital reorganization or reclassification of the shares of the Company in such a way that holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares, then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby each holder of a Preference Share or Seed Preferred Share shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of such Preference Share or Seed Preferred Share, as the case may be, such shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon such conversion had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Series A Preference Conversion Price, the Series B Preference Conversion Price and the Seed Conversion Price, as applicable) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights.

For so long as the Company and the Rights Holders have the Right of First Refusal in respect of a Transfer, such Transferring Shareholder shall Transfer such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 22(b):

 

Page 35


  (i) Such Transferring Shareholder shall deliver written notice (the Offer Notice) of its desire to consummate the Proposed Transaction to the Company and the Rights Holders. The Offer Notice shall specify (A) the number of Shares held by the Transferring Shareholder that are subject to the Proposed Transaction (the Offered Shares), (B) the identity of the Proposed Transferee, (C) the consideration per share to be paid for the Offered Shares and (D) all other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction. The Transferring Shareholder’s Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to sell all such shares to the Company and the Rights Holders on the basis described below at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on the same terms as set forth in, the Offer Notice.

 

  (ii) The Company shall have an option for a period of twenty (20) days following receipt of the Offer Notice (the Company Option Period) to elect to repurchase all or a portion of the Offered Shares, at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as described in the Offer Notice, exercisable by written notice to the Transferring Shareholder (with a copy to the Rights Holders). Any Offered Shares so repurchased by the Company shall be cancelled or held in treasury, and shall (to the extent held in treasury) remain subject to Article 9.

 

  (iii) If the Company does not elect within the Company Option Period to purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Article 22(b)(ii) above, then, in respect of the remaining unpurchased Offered Shares (the Remaining Offered Shares), the Company shall deliver to each Rights Holder written notice (with a copy to the Transferring Shareholder) (the Company Notice) thereof within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Company Option Period, and each such Rights Holder, other than the Transferring Shareholder, shall have the Right of First Refusal to accept the offer to purchase the Remaining Offered Shares for the consideration per share and on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice and as further described below:

 

  (A) Each Rights Holder shall have the right to exercise his, her or its Right of First Refusal for a period of ten (10) days following receipt of the Company Notice (the Rights Holder Option Period) to purchase its respective Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Offered Shares covered by the Proposed Transaction.

 

  (B) If any Rights Holder fails to exercise its right to purchase its full Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Offered Shares, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof (the Second Notice), within five (5) days after the expiration of the Rights Holder Option Period, to each Rights Holder that elected to purchase its entire Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Offered Shares (an Exercising Rights Holder) and to the Transferring Shareholder. The Exercising Rights Holder shall have a right of re-allotment, and may exercise an additional right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such unpurchased Remaining Offered Shares by notifying the Transferring Shareholder and the Company in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the Second Notice.

 

Page 36


  (C) For the purposes of this Article 22(b)(iii), a Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Offered Shares shall be equal to (i) the total number of Remaining Offered Shares, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares held by such Rights Holder on the date of the Company Notice or the Second Notice (as the case may be) (including all Preference Shares and/or Seed Preferred Shares held by such Rights Holder on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares held by all Rights Holders on such date (including all Preference Shares and/or Seed Preferred Shares held by such Rights Holder on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis).

 

  (D) The closing for any purchase of Shares pursuant to this Article 22(b)(iii) shall take place no later than twenty-five (25) days after the delivery of the Company Notice. Any written election to purchase shall constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of the Remaining Offered Shares.

 

  (c) Co-Sale Option

In the event that a Transferring Shareholder (a Co-Sale Transferor) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of the Offered Shares in a Proposed Transaction, and the rights under Article 22(b) above are not exercised with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, such Transferring Shareholder may Transfer such remaining unpurchased Offered Shares (the Co-Sale Shares) only pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 22(c):

 

  (i) Each holder of Preference Shares, Tencent Ordinary Shares, General Atlantic Ordinary Shares, Super Class Ordinary Shares, Kuok Ordinary Shares, OTPP Ordinary Shares or Keytone Ordinary Shares, who has not exercised its Right of First Refusal under Article 22(b)(iii) above (each a Co-Sale Participant) shall have the right to participate in the Proposed Transaction on the terms and conditions herein stated (the Co-Sale Option), which right shall be exercisable upon written notice (the Acceptance Notice) to the Co-Sale Transferor within ten (10) days after the Co-Sale Transferor notifies the Co-Sale Participants in writing (A) that the Co-Sale Participant has not elected to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any Offered Shares and (B) of the maximum number of shares each Co-Sale Participant may sell pursuant to Article 22(c)(ii). The Co-Sale Transferor shall issue such notice prior to any transfer of Co-Sale Shares, and it shall be open for acceptance for no less than ten (10) days. The Acceptance Notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares the Co-Sale Participant wishes to sell on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice.

 

Page 37


  (ii) Each Co-Sale Participant shall have the right to sell a portion of its shares pursuant to the Proposed Transaction which is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of the Co-Sale Shares by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares held by such Co-Sale Participant on the date of the Acceptance Notice (including all Preference Shares held by such Co-Sale Participant on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares then held by the Co-Sale Transferor and by all the Co-Sale Participants entitled to exercise the co-sale right on the date of the Acceptance Notice (including all Preference Shares held by such Co-Sale Participant on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis).

 

  (iii) Each Co-Sale Participant may effect its participation in any Proposed Transaction hereunder by delivery to the Proposed Transferee, or to the Co-Sale Transferor for delivery to the Proposed Transferee, of one or more duly executed instruments of transfer or certificates representing the shares it elects to sell therein, provided that no such Co-Sale Participant shall be required to make any representations or warranties or provide any indemnities in connection therewith other than with respect to the Shares being transferred. At the time of consummation of the Proposed Transaction, the Proposed Transferee shall remit directly to each such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation therein (less any adjustments due to the conversion of any convertible securities or the exercise of any exercisable securities).

 

  (iv) Promptly after such sale, the Co-Sale Transferor shall notify each participating Co-Sale Participant of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by any such Co-Sale Participant. In the event that the Proposed Transaction is not consummated within the period required by Article 22(c)(iii) hereof or the Proposed Transferee fails timely to remit to the Co-Sale Participant its portion of the sale proceeds, the Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of Shares pursuant to such Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to be in violation of the provisions of these Articles unless the Transferring Shareholder once again complies with the provisions of Article 22(b), as applicable, and Article 22(c) hereof with respect to such Proposed Transaction.

 

  (d) No Transfer of a Share may be made pursuant to this Article 22 unless (i) the transferee has signed an adherence agreement in accordance with the Investors’ Rights Agreement, and (ii) the Transfer complies with the other provisions of these Articles and the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

 

  (e) The rights contained in these Articles 22(a) through 22(d) shall terminate upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering or a Deemed Liquidation as duly approved by the Company and its shareholders in accordance with these Articles.

 

Page 38


  (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, none of the shareholders of the Company may Transfer any Share to a Restricted Party and the Directors shall not effect (or otherwise recognise or register) a Transfer in violation of the foregoing prohibition.

 

23. The Company shall have a right of first refusal, as set forth below, to purchase the Shares acquired by the Participant upon exercise or vesting of the Award (as the case may be) before the Shares (or any interest in them) can be validly transferred to any other person or entity.

 

  (a) Before there can be a valid sale or transfer of any Shares (or any interest in them) by any Participant, the Participant shall first give notice in writing to the Company, mailed or delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Award Agreement, of his or her intention to sell or transfer such Shares (the Award Notice).

The Award Notice shall specify the identity of the proposed transferee, the number of Shares to be sold or transferred to the transferee, the price per Share and the terms upon which such holder intends to make such sale or transfer. If the payment terms for the Shares described in the Award Notice differ from delivery of cash or a check at closing, the Company shall have the option, as set forth in the Award Agreement, of purchasing the Shares for cash (or a cash equivalent) at closing in an amount which the Company determines is a fair value equivalent of that payment. The determination of a fair value equivalent shall be made in the Company’s best judgment and such determination shall be mailed or delivered to the selling or transferring shareholder (the Company’s Notice) within ten (10) days of its receipt of the Award Notice. Should the selling or transferring shareholder disagree with the Company’s determination of a fair value equivalent, he or she shall have the right (the Retraction Right) to retract the proposed sale or transfer to a third party and the offer of Shares to the Company pursuant to the Award Notice (such retraction to be made in writing and mailed or delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement). If the shareholder again proposes to sell or transfer the Shares, the shareholder shall again offer such Shares to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Article 23 prior to any sale or transfer.

 

  (b) Subject to the selling shareholder’s Retraction Right, during the sixty (60)-day period commencing upon receipt of the Award Notice by the Company (the Option Period), the Company shall have an option to purchase any or all of the Shares specified in the Award Notice at the price offered therein (the Award Share Right of First Refusal).

 

  (c) Not more than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Award Notice, the Company shall give written notice to the shareholder desiring to sell or transfer Shares of the number of such Shares to be purchased (or, if no Shares are to be purchased, stating such fact) by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Article 23 (the Purchase Notice). Purchases pursuant to this Article 23 shall be consummated within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Purchase Notice to the selling shareholder, but in no event later than the expiration of the Option Period. The purchase price shall be paid at the closing in cash, by check, by cancellation of money purchase indebtedness, or, if the payment terms set forth in the Award Notice differ from payment in cash or by check at closing, in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Award Notice (or payment of the amount set forth in the Company’s Notice in cash, by cancellation of money purchase indebtedness, or by check). The purchase price shall be paid against surrender by the selling shareholder of a share certificate evidencing the number of Shares specified in the Award Notice, with duly endorsed share powers.

 

Page 39


  (d) Unless all of the Shares referred to in the Award Notice are to be purchased as indicated in the Purchase Notice, the shareholder desiring to sell or transfer may dispose of any Shares referred to in the Award Notice that are not to be purchased by the Company to the person or persons specified in the Award Notice during a period of twenty (20) days commencing upon his or her receipt of the Purchase Notice; provided, however, that he or she shall not sell or transfer such Shares (a) at a lower price or on terms more favorable to the Participant or transferee than those specified in the Award Notice, or (b) to a person other than the person or persons specified in the Award Notice; and provided further that such transfer is consistent with the other provisions and limitations of the Employee Option Plan, the Award Agreement (including the terms and conditions of Award) and the Exercise Agreement. If the transfer is not consummated within such twenty (20) day period, the shareholder shall again offer such Shares to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Article 23 prior to any sale or transfer to the same or any other person.

 

  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company may assign any or all of its rights under this Article 23 to one or more shareholders of the Company.

 

  (f) The Company’s Award Share Right of First Refusal contained in this Article 23 shall terminate to the extent that it is not exercised prior to the the date the Ordinary Shares are first registered under the U.S. Exchange Act of 1934 and listed or quoted on a recognized national securities exchange.

 

  (g) If the Participant (or any permitted transferee under the Employee Option Plan) holds Shares as to which the Award Share Right of First Refusal under this Article 23 has been exercised (in connection with the termination of the Participant’s employment or otherwise), the Participant shall be entitled to payment in accordance with the provisions of this Article 23, but (unless otherwise required by law) shall no longer be entitled to participation in the Company or other rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the repurchase. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Participant’s rights following the exercise of the Award Share Right of First Refusal shall, with respect to the repurchase and the Shares covered thereby, be solely the rights that he or she has as a general creditor of the Company to receive payment of the amount specified in this Article 23.

 

  (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Participant shall not Transfer any Shares to any person or entity listed under the Schedule of Prohibited Transferees or any Affiliate thereof; and the Company shall not Transfer any Shares it purchases pursuant to this Article 23 to any person or entity listed under the Schedule of Prohibited Transferees or any Affiliate thereof.

  (ii) The proposed Deemed Liquidation values the Group at not less than $6.75 billion;

 

  (iii) The proposed Deemed Liquidation values the Group at an amount that provides a Deemed Liquidation IRR (as defined below) of not less than twenty two and a half percent (22.5%); or

 

  (iv) In the event none of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) applies, the Company agrees to redeem the OTPP Ordinary Shares then held by OTPP at price per Share that is equal to the lesser of (x) that which provides OTPP with Deemed Liquidation IRR of twenty two and a half percent (22.5%) and (y) such price as if the proposed Deemed Liquidation values the Group at $6.75 billion.

As used above, Deemed Liquidation IRR means the internal rate of return (on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed) on the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the OTPP Share Subscription Agreement) for the period commencing on the Closing (as such term is defined in the OTPP Share Subscription Agreement) and ending on the applicable determination date of the Group’s valuation for the proposed Deemed Liquidation.

 

  (c) The right contained in Articles 26(a) and 26(b) shall terminate upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering or a Deemed Liquidation as duly approved by the Company and its shareholders in accordance with these Articles.

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

 

27. The Company may in so far as the Act from time to time permits pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any shares of the Company. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgment of fully or partly paid-up shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also on any issue of shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

 

28. No person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future, or partial interest in any share, or any interest in any fractional part of a share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Act) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

Page 43


LIEN ON SHARES

 

29. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien and charge on all shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien (if any) thereon. The Company’s lien (if any) on a share shall extend to all dividends or other monies payable in respect thereof.

 

30. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of the share, or the person, of which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

 

31. To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

32. The proceeds of such sale shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

CALL ON SHARES

 

33.   (a)   The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium or otherwise) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed terms, provided that no call shall be payable at less than one (1) month from the date fixed for the payment of the last preceding call, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be made payable by instalments.

 

Page 44


  (b) A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

 

  (c) The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

34. If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on a day appointed for payment thereof, the persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate not exceeding ten percent (10%) per annum as the Directors may determine, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest either wholly or in part.

 

35. Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium or otherwise, shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in the case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

36. The Directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls or interest to be paid and the times of payment.

 

37.   (a)   The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would but for such advances, become payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting shall otherwise direct) seven percent (7%) per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance.

 

  (b) No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

38.   (a)   If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call or to make any payment required by the terms of issue on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call, instalment or payment remains unpaid, give notice requiring payment of so much of the call, instalment or payment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Such notice shall name a day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen (14) days from the date of giving of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which such notice was given will be liable to be forfeited.

 

Page 45


  (b) If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

 

  (c) A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

39. A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares together with interest thereon, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the shares.

 

40. A certificate in writing under the hand of one (1) Director or the Secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the fact therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The Company may receive the consideration given for the share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered in the register of Members of the Company as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

 

41. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS

 

42. The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding one dollar ($1.00) on the registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instrument.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

43. In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any shares which had been held by him solely or jointly with other persons.

 

Page 46


44.   (a)   Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to make such transfer of the share to such other person nominated by him as the deceased or bankrupt person could have made and to have such person registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before his death or bankruptcy as the case may be.

 

  (b) If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

 

45. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company PROVIDED HOWEVER that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

47. For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Directors may provide that the register of Members of the Company shall be closed for transfers for a stated period but not to exceed in any case forty days.

102.   (a)   The Board may appoint one or more non-voting observers to attend and receive notices of Board meetings.

 

  (b) In the event that no Tencent Director is then serving on the Board, so long as Tencent continues to hold at least three percent (3%) of the Ordinary Shares of the Company (calculated on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis), Tencent Limited shall have the right to appoint one (1) observer (Tencent Observer) to the Board (and each committee thereof) to attend Board or committee meetings of the Company in a non-voting observer capacity. The Company shall provide the Tencent Observer copies of all notices and materials at the same time and in the same manner as the same are provided to the Directors.

 

103. The Directors may elect a chairman of their Board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

104. The Directors may delegate any of their powers to committees consisting of such member or members of the Board of Directors (including alternate Directors in the absence of their appointors) as they think fit; any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the Directors.

107. A resolution in writing sent to all Directors and signed in one or more counterparts by all of the Directors for the time being or all the members of a committee of Directors (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such resolution on behalf of his appointor) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors or committee as the case may be duly convened and held.

PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT

 

110. A Director of the Company who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the Minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

SEAL

 

Page 62


111.   (a)   The Common Seal of the Company shall only be used by the authority of a resolution of the Directors. The Directors may determine who shall sign any instrument executed under the seal. If they do not, it shall be signed by at least one (1) Director and the secretary or by at least two (2) Directors. Any document may be executed under the seal by impressing the seal by mechanical means or by printing the seal or a facsimile of it on the document or by applying the seal or a facsimile of it by any other means to the document. A document signed, with the authority of a resolution of the Directors, by a Director and the secretary or by two (2) Directors and expressed (in whatever form of words) to be executed by the Company has the same effect as if executed under the seal. The Directors may by resolution determine, either generally or in any particular case, that in respect of certificates for shares or debentures or other securities of the Company, the signature of any Director or of the secretary or other person authorised by the Directors as aforesaid forming part of the sealing process may be applied or effected by non- autographic means and in favour of any registered holder or other person acquiring such shares or debentures of other securities in good faith a certificate executed in any of the modes of execution authorised herein shall be as valid and effective as if such certificate was issued under the seal or the official securities seal kept pursuant to the Act, as the case may be, of the Company pursuant to these Articles.

 

  (b) The Company may have a duplicate seal or seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the Common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

OFFICERS

 

112. The Company may have a President, a Secretary or Secretary-Treasurer appointed by the Directors who may also from time to time appoint such other officers as they consider necessary, all for such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors from time to time prescribe.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RESERVE

 

113. Subject to the Act and these Articles ((in particular, but not limited to, Articles 12 and 57), the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and distributions on shares of the Company outstanding and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor.

 

114. The Directors may, before declaring any dividends or distributions, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the like discretion, be employed in the business of the Company.

 

115. No dividend or distribution shall be payable except out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Act.

 

Page 63


116. Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividends or distributions, if dividends or distributions are to be declared on a class of shares they shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares of such class outstanding on the record date for such dividend or distribution as determined in accordance with these Articles but no amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purpose of this Article as paid on the share.

 

117. The Directors may deduct from any dividend or distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

 

118. The Directors may declare that any dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid up shares, debentures, or debenture stock of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

 

119. Any dividend, distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the holder who is first named on the register of Members of the Company or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the share held by them as joint holders.

 

120. No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

CAPITALISATION

 

121. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the Company may upon the recommendation of the Directors authorise the Directors to capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

 

Page 64

  (b) all sales and purchases of goods by the Company; and

 

  (c) the assets and liabilities of the Company.

Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

The rights contained in this Article 123 shall terminate upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering or a Deemed Liquidation as duly approved by the Company and its shareholders in accordance with these Articles.
