(b) On the exercise of a Put Option by the Exercising Lender, the Founders will be bound to purchase and the Exercising Lender will be bound to complete, or to procure the completion of, the sale of the Option Shares on the Transfer Terms.
(c) Subject to Clause 10.1(f), the Put Option may be exercised by any of the Lenders in respect of all (and not some only) of the Option Shares by serving on the Founders the Put Option Notice during the Option Period, failing which it will lapse and cease to have any further effect.
(d) The Put Option Period shall be for 3 months commencing immediately from any of the following events:
(i) withdrawal of the Listing application from the SGX-ST;
(ii) lapse or withdrawal of the Eligibility-to-List letter from the SGX-ST;
(iii) rejection of the Listing application by SGX-ST and/or MAS;

(f) The exercise of a Put Option is conditional upon the conversion of the Loans in accordance with Clause 7.
10.2 The Option Completion shall take place at the offices of KhattarWong at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XXX Xxxxx 0, #00-00, Xxxxxxxxx 000000 (or at such other place as the Exercising Lender and the Founders may agree) on the date falling 14 days after the Exercise Date or such other date as the Exercising Lender and the Founders may agree.

The Selling Lenders shall be entitled to give the Founders not less than 30 days’ notice requiring them to sell all (but not some only) of their Shares to the Selling Lenders (in proportion to their respective Sale Shares) (or their nominees which may be the purchaser of the Sale Shares from the Selling Lenders) at a price per Sale Share equal to the value of the consideration per Sale Share being offered to the Selling Lenders by the purchaser. The Founders shall not be obliged to make any representation or warranty or to incur any liability to the purchaser other than in respect of the warranty as to title to their Shares. The sale of the Founders’ Shares shall be completed at the same time as the sale of the Sale Shares.
11. MORATORIUM

12.2 For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender shall at all times be entitled to transfer and assign all or part of its Loan and/or Conversion Shares and its rights under this Agreement to its subsidiaries and related companies (as defined in the Companies Act (Cap. 50) of Singapore), without any restriction whatsoever, and:
(a) each Party who is a shareholder hereby waives all rights of pre-emption that it might have under the constitutive documents of the Listco; and

12.3 If a Party (the “Selling Member”) proposes to transfer (the “Transfer”) its shares in the Borrower or the Listco (the “Relevant Company”) (the “Sale Shares”), it shall give a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Relevant Company and other Parties that it desires to sell the same. Every Sale Notice shall specify the number of Sale Shares which the Selling Member desires to sell, the name of the proposed transferee (if any) and shall constitute the Relevant Company to be the agent of the Selling Member for the sale of the Sale Shares to any member of the Relevant Company at the purchase price stated in the Sale Notice.
12.4 A Lender (“Participating Lender”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice (the “Notice of Participation”) to the Relevant Company within 30 days after receipt of the Sale Notice, to inform the Relevant Company in writing whether it elects to participate in the Transfer on the same or equivalent terms and conditions set out in the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Rights”). The Notice of Participation shall indicate the number of shares in the Relevant Company the Participating Lender elects to transfer. The Participating Lender shall promptly deliver to the Relevant Company (who shall be deemed to be constituted as the agent of the Participating Lender for the Transfer) for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more share transfer forms properly executed for transfer, together with the relevant share certificates.
12.5 If a Lender fails to elect to participate in the Transfer, it shall be deemed to have consented to the transfer by the Selling Member on the terms and conditions and to the proposed transferee set forth in the Sale Notice and Notice of Participation. Subject to the compliance with Clauses 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5, all Parties waive all rights of pre-emption provided in this Agreement or other constitutive documents of the Relevant Company. The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of a Lender to participate in one or more Transfers shall not adversely affect the rights of the Lender to participate in subsequent Transfers.
12.6 Upon completion of the transfer(s) pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Sale Notice and Notice of Participation(s), the Selling Member (if in receipt of the proceeds) shall remit to each Participating Lender that portion of the proceeds to which the Participating Lender is entitled by reason of its participation in such transfer. To the extent that any prospective purchaser(s) prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase the Sale Shares from a Participating Lender, the Selling Member shall not transfer to such prospective purchaser(s) any of its Sale Shares unless and until simultaneously with such Transfer, the Selling Member shall purchase the Sale Shares of the Participating Lender from the Participating Lender on the same terms and conditions specified in the Sale Notice.
12.7 For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may, upon the receipt of the Notice of Transfer, exercise his right of conversion pursuant to Clause 7 (if such right has not been previously exercised) and the Lender shall be entitled to X number of shares in the enlarged share capital of the Relevant Company, where X is calculated as follows:
X = |
LQ |
50% ´ Price per Share |
Where:
“LQ” shall mean the Loan Amount advanced by the Lender; and
“Price per Share” refers to the price per Sale Share to be transferred as set out in the Notice of Transfer.
12.8 In the event of a general offer for shares in a Relevant Company (the “Offer”), any Lender may at any time, prior to the close of the Offer, exercise his right of conversion pursuant to Clause 7 (if such right has not been previously exercised) and the Lender shall be entitled to X number of shares in the enlarged share capital of the Relevant Company, where X is calculated as follows:
X = |
LQ |
(50%) ´ Price per Share |
Where:
“LQ” shall mean the Loan Amount advanced by the Lender; and
“Price per Share” refers to the price per share under the Offer.
12.9 The provisions of this Clause 12 shall cease to be of effect on the Listing Date.
