Section 10.5 Anti-dilution.
(a) | If the Company wishes to issue (“Further Issuance”) any further Ordinary Shares or any other

having attached thereto a right of conversion into or exchange for any Ordinary Shares or any
equity interest in the Company, the Company shall give and the Existing Shareholders shall
procure the Company to give notice (the “Company’s Notice”) to CISG stating the total number
of additional Ordinary Shares or any shares to be issued or which could be issued upon
exercise of a right of conversion or exchange pursuant to the Further Issuance and the price
for such Further Issuance to be subscribed for CISG shall have the option but not the
obligation to subscribe at the price set forth in the Company’s Notice for that proportion of
Further Issuance equivalent to the percentage (%) which the number of Ordinary Shares held by
CISG bears to the total number of issued Ordinary Shares of the Company at the time when the
Company’s Notice is issued. Such option may be exercised by CISG by serving a notice to the
Company at any time within 20 Business Days following CISG’s receipt of the Company’s Notice
and accompanied by payment in full for that proportion of the Further Issuance to be
subscribed for. The Company hereby agrees that any Further Issuance will be at a price that is
not less than CISG’s price pursuant to this Subscription. The Parties hereby expressly
acknowledge, confirm and agree the purpose of this Section 10.5 is to offer an anti- dilution
protection in favor of CISG so that if CISG shall have elected to exercise the option
hereunder, its shareholdings in the Company will not be diluted notwithstanding the Further
Issuance. |
(b) | If and whenever the Ordinary Shares by reason of any consolidation or sub-division shall
become of a lesser nominal amount, CISG will proportionally be issued with additional Ordinary
Shares at a nominal consideration so that CISG’s shareholdings in the Company immediately upon
such consolidation or sub-division will remain the same as its shareholdings in the Company
immediately before such consolidation or sub-division. |
Section 10.6 Specific Right of the Existing Shareholders. If no Capital Event shall have
been completed within three (3) years from Closing, each of the Existing Shareholders shall be
entitled to require CISG to purchase its Shares at the price to be negotiated and determined by the
relevant Existing Shareholder and CISG.
