11.5.1 | if a Shareholder does not fully comply with the Funding Call Notice on or before the Funding Date, the Company shall at any time within seven (7) days of the Funding Date invite, in writing, the other Shareholders who have provided their Equity Proportion of the funds specified in the Funding Call Notice (Funding Shareholder)) to fund the resultant funding shortfall within fourteen (14) days of the invitation by making an additional contribution of its Relevant Proportion of such shortfall (Additional Contributions). For this purpose, the Relevant Proportion shall be calculated by reference to the Equity Proportion of such Funding Shareholder as compared with the aggregate Equity Proportions of all Funding Shareholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Dilution Price is less than the par value per Share, then the issue price per Share payable by the Funding Shareholder (or its Affiliate) shall be the par value of a Share at that time. A Funding Shareholder shall, within twenty-one (21) days of receipt of invitation to make an Additional Contribution, give written notice (the “Dilution Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the Non-Funding Shareholder(s)) of its wish to make the Additional Contribution by way of equity by subscribing for the relevant number of new Shares (the “Dilution Shares”); |
