3.1 Pre-emptive Rights.
(a) If the Company proposes to issue or sell any new shares or other securities of the Company (other than securities issued (i) under any share option plan contemplated by the Company and approved by the Board; (ii) in connection with recapitalization events that were approved the Board; or (iii) as a dividend to all shareholders of the Company on a pro rata basis) ("New Securities"), the Company shall, at least fourteen (14) days prior to such issuance, offer to the Purchaser the right to purchase a pro-rata share of the New Securities on the same terms and conditions of such issuance of New Securities, based on the number of Company’s shares of common stock held by the Purchaser immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock of the Company on an issued and outstanding basis at that time prior to such issuance of New Securities (the "Preemptive Right"). By way of example and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser owns 100 shares, and there are 1,000 shares outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance of New Securities, then Purchaser may purchase 10% of the New Securities being issued.
(b) In the event the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it shall first give the Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the "Preemptive Notice"). The Purchaser shall have fourteen (14) days after any such Preemptive Notice is delivered to agree to purchase its respective pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Preemptive Notice and any additional number of New Securities (if so available) by giving notice in writing to the Company and stating therein the maximum quantity of New Securities to be purchased thereby.
(c) In the event the Purchaser fails to fully exercise the Preemptive Right within such fourteen (14) days period from delivery of the Preemptive Notice, the Company shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement to sell the New Securities in respect to which the Preemptive Right is not exercised, at a price and upon terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those terms specified in the Preemptive Notice. In the event the Company has not sold or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within one hundred and twenty (120) days, the sale or issuance of the New Securities shall be subject to the Purchaser's preemptive right, as set forth herein.
(d) The rights conferred upon Purchaser pursuant this section shall continue for as long as Purchaser holds not less than 10% of the equity of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital.
