11.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Should a Party make a material breach of the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including but not limited to, a breach of clauses 7 and 17) (the ”Defaulting Party”), such a violation shall be considered a material breach of contract and if no remedies are undertaken within thirty (30) Business Days from receipt by the Defaulting Party of a written request from another Party (the “Requesting Party”) to cease the violation, the other Parties (other than the Defaulting Party) shall have the right to redeem the Defaulting Party’s Shares. A Party shall only be obliged to request rectification in writing if the material breach of contract is of such a nature that rectification is possible. Should rectification not be possible, the other parties shall instead have the right to redeem the Defaulting Party’s Shares without the prior written request for rectification (and thus without compliance with the period of rectification). When the Requesting Parties requests rectification from the Defaulting Party or redemption pursuant to the provisions set forth.

Redemption pursuant to this clause shall not exclude other remedies with reference to the material breach of contract. To the extent damages shall be paid due to the breach of contract and redemption of the Defaulting Party’s Shares has been undertaken, reduction in the purchase price as set forth in this clause, shall be complied with upon calculation of the damages.

Not later than thirty (30) Business Days from the expiry of the period of rectification or, if no request was required, thirty (30) Business Days from the Requesting Parties’ request for redemption, each of the other Parties, who wish to redeem the Defaulting Party’s Shares, shall notify the Defaulting Party accordingly in writing with a copy to the other Parties and the Board. Should a party not wish to redeem all of the Defaulting Party’s Shares, the notice shall set forth the maximum number of Shares the Party wishes to redeem. Should a Party refrain from submitting such a notice within the above mentioned thirty (30) Busines day-period, said Party shall be considered as refraining from its right for redemption of the Shares.

Subject to the other party/parties individually or jointly, within the above mentioned redemption period, notifying that the redemption right will be called upon for all of the Defaulting Party’s Shares, the other parties shall acquire the Shares from the Defaulting Party. Should more than one of the other Parties wish to call upon the redemption right, the other Parties shall be allotted Shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Company at the time of the redemption. Any excess Share(s) shall be distributed among the other Parties in proportion to the relative number of shares in the Company on a Fully Diluted Basis held by such Shareholders, which shall be arranged for by the Board. However, neither of the other Parties shall be obliged to acquire more Shares than the party, if applicable, has notified as the maximum number of Shares in their request for redemption. Upon expiry of the redemption period (or any earlier date when all other parties have notified whether they wish to utilize the redemption right) and if the above mentioned provisions have been fulfilled, the Defaulting Party shall, if applicable, submit share certificates, other securities, certificates or documents representing the Shares, duly transferred to the other parties requesting redemption, whereby the right of ownership shall pass.

In the event that the value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to this Agreement, and where the Parties cannot agree on the value of the Shares within two (2) weeks from the date when the discussion about the value of Shares was initiated, the value shall, at the request of a Party, be finally determined by a committee consisting of two (2) independent valuation officers. Each of the valuation officers shall be active at any of the accounting companies KPMG, PwC, EY or Deloitte in Malta, whereby one valuation officer shall be appointed by the Party requesting the valuation and the second valuation officer shall be appointed by the other Parties concerned by the valuation. If the other Parties concerned by the valuation cannot agree on the second valuation officer within seven (7) Business days, the second valuation officer shall be appointed by the Maltese Chamber of Commerce at the request of either of such Parties. The valuation officers shall within two (2) weeks attempt to agree on a valuation of the Shares and, in case of disagreement, they shall each make an independent valuation. The basis for the valuation shall be to determine the market value of the Shares as per the day of the request for redemption pursuant to the then currently applicable practice for company valuation. Each Share shall be deemed to have the value corresponding to the value of the whole Company divided by the number of outstanding Shares (on a Fully Diluted Basis). The so determined market value shall be the average value between the two (2) valuations, unless one of the valuations is more than twenty per cent 20% higher than the other.

If one of the valuations is more than twenty per cent 20% higher than the other valuation, the two (2) appointed valuation officers shall jointly appoint a third valuation officer, who shall determine one of the valuations as the final valuation. If the two (2) valuation officers fail to agree on the third valuation officer within seven (7) Business Days, such third valuation officer shall be appointed by the Maltese Chamber of Commerce at the request of either of the Parties. The determined market value shall be final and binding on the Parties.

The costs pertaining to the valuation pursuant to this provision shall, as a general rule, be divided between the Parties.

12.

LIQUIDATION

Should a Party enter into liquidation, composition procedure, suspend payments, enter into company reorganisation or otherwise reasonably be considered insolvent, the other Parties shall have the right to redeem said party’s Shares. Redemption pursuant to this provision shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions set out in Clause 11 mutatis mutandis , however, without any reduction in the purchase price. Furthermore, the redemption period shall be calculated from the date when the other Parties were notified of the above-mentioned occasion. The right of ownership shall pass in connection with payment of the purchase price for the Shares.

13.
