Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.

16.3.Whenever Shares are forfeited as herein provided, all dividends theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.

 

16.4.The Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accept the voluntary surrender of any Share.

 

16.5.Any Shares forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become dormant Shares (as defined in Section 308 of the Companies Law), and the same, subject to the provisions of these Articles, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board of Directors thinks fit.

 

16.6.Any Shareholder whose Shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such Shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article ‎14.5 above, unless such Shares were sold by the Company, and the Company shall have received in full the amounts specified above in addition to any additional costs of such sale of Shares, and the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may enforce the payment of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the Shareholder in question (but not yet due) in respect of all Shares owned by such Shareholder, solely or jointly with another, and in respect of any other matter or transaction whatsoever.

16.7.The Board of Directors may at any time, before any Share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it thinks fit, but no such nullification shall stop the Board of Directors from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article ‎16.7.

 

17.LIEN.

Such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of such share. Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the Company of a Transfer of Shares shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of the Company of the lien (if any) existing on such Shares immediately prior to such Transfer.

 

17.2.The Board of Directors may cause the Company to sell any Shares subject to such lien when any such debt, liability or engagement has matured, in such manner as the Board of Directors may think fit, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt, liability or engagement has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the intention to sell shall have been served on such Shareholder, his executors or administrators.

21.PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.

 

At any time prior to the consummation of an IPO, if the Company proposes to issue or sell any New Securities, it shall, before such issuance, offer to each Eligible Holder the right to purchase its pro-rata share (calculated on an outstanding as-converted basis) of the New Securities (the “Preemptive Rights”) subject to the following provisions:

 

21.1.The Company shall give each Eligible Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”). Each of the Eligible Holders will be entitled (but not obligated) to purchase, by giving notice to the Company within 14 days after receipt of the Preemptive Rights Notice, all or part of the portion of the New Securities to which the Eligible Holder was entitled, and all or any part of the portion to which the other Eligible Holders who have not exercised their rights hereunder are entitled, at the same price and on the same terms as such New Securities are proposed to be offered by the Company. If the Eligible Holders who elect to purchase their full pro-rata shares also elect to purchase in the aggregate more than 100% of the New Securities, such New Securities shall be sold to such Eligible Holders in accordance with their respective pro-rata share amongst the Eligible Holders exercising their overallotment right hereunder.

 

21.2.In the event the Eligible Holders fail to exercise fully the Preemptive Rights within the 14 day period set forth in Article ‎21.1, the Company shall be allowed, during the 90 days thereafter, to sell to any third party the remainder of the New Securities with respect to which the Eligible Holders’ Preemptive Rights were not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s Preemptive Rights Notice to the Eligible Holders. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within such 90 day period, the Company shall not issue or sell any New Securities without first complying with the provisions of this Article ‎21.

 

21.3.An Eligible Holder’s pro-rata share, for purpose of this Article ‎21, is the ratio of the number of (i) outstanding Shares (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) owned by such Eligible Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities to (ii) the total number of Shares (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities.

 

21.4.Each Eligible Holder shall be entitled to waive (in writing) its Preemptive Rights. In addition, the Preemptive Rights of all Eligible Holders may be waived, in accordance with the provisions of Articles ‎37.1.4 below, with such waiver applying to all Eligible Holders, including the holders of the Preferred Series A Shares who are Eligible Holders.

 

21.5.The provisions of Section 290(a) of the Companies Law shall not apply to the Company.

 

22.RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

 

22.1.If at any time prior to the consummation of an IPO, any Shareholder (the “Offeror”) proposes to Transfer any Equity Securities to one or more third parties, other than to a Permitted Transferee per Article ‎20.1, pursuant to an understanding with such third parties, then the Offeror shall give the Company and each Eligible Holder written notice of such Offeror’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”), which Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be transferred (“Offered Shares”), (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee(s), and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Offeror has received an offer to purchase the Offered Shares from the prospective Transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer of the Offered Shares is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer, should such exist, provided that the prospective Transferee has allowed such disclosure.

 

 - 15 - 

 

 

22.2.Each Eligible Holder shall have an option for a period of 10 days from the receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “ROFR Election Period”) to elect to purchase its respective pro rata amount of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice (the “Right of First Refusal”).

 

22.3.Each Eligible Holder may exercise its option set forth in Article ‎22.2 and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of his, her or its pro rata share (with any reallotments as provided below) of the Offered Shares, by notifying the Offeror and the Company in writing, before expiration of the ROFR Election Period as to the number of such Offered Shares which it wishes to purchase (including any reallotment). Each Eligible Holder’s pro rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares, of which the number of Shares (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) owned by such Eligible Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of Shares (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) held by all Eligible Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the denominator. Each Eligible Holder shall have a right of reallotment such that, if any other Eligible Holder fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata share of the Offered Shares, the other participating Eligible Holders may exercise an additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the Offered Shares not previously purchased. If an Eligible Holder gives the Offeror notice that it desires to purchase its pro rata share of the Offered Shares and, as the case may be, any reallotment, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefore, which shall be no later than 20 days after the expiration of the ROFR Election Period, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Article ‎22.4.

 

22.4.Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice or Additional Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Eligible Holders shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If the Offeror and the Eligible Holders cannot agree on such cash value within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Offeror and the Eligible Holders or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within 20 days after the receipt of the Transfer Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by (a) the Offeror, on the one hand, and (b) the Eligible Holders, on the other hand. The appraisers shall provide their determination no later than within 30 days from submission of the matter to their resolution. If the time for the closing of the Eligible Holders’ purchase would have expired but for the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee(s), then such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been finalized pursuant to this Article ‎22.4.

 

 - 16 - 

 

 

22.5.Each Eligible Holder shall be entitled to waive (in writing) its right of first refusal pursuant to this Article ‎22 and/or its right of co-sale pursuant to Article ‎23 below. In addition, the rights of first refusal and/or co-sale of the Eligible Holders may by waived, subject to the provisions of Article ‎37.1.4 below.

 

23.RIGHT OF CO-SALE.

 

23.1.To the extent the Eligible Holders do not exercise their rights of first refusal as to all of the Offered Shares that a Shareholder seeks to Transfer pursuant to Article ‎22, then each Eligible Holder which notifies the Offeror in writing within seven days after the expiration of the ROFR Election Period (each, a “Selling Holder”), shall have the right to participate in such Transfer of Equity Securities on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice. Such Selling Holder’s notice to the Offeror shall indicate the number of shares of Equity Securities the Selling Holder wishes to Transfer under his, her or its right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Selling Holders exercises such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Equity Securities that the Offeror may Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

 

23.2.Each Selling Holder may Transfer all or any part of that number of shares of Equity Securities equal to the product of (a) the aggregate number of shares of Equity Securities covered by the Transfer Notice which have not been subscribed for pursuant to Article ‎22 multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) owned by the Selling Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) owned by the Offeror and all of the Selling Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice (the “Co-Sale Right”) .

 

23.3.Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Offeror for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more share certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:

 

23.3.1.the type and number of shares of Equity Securities which such Selling Holder elects to sell; or

 

23.3.2.that number of shares of Equity Securities which are at such time convertible into the number of shares of Ordinary Shares which such Selling Holder elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of Equity Securities that are not Ordinary Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Selling Holder shall convert such Equity Securities into Ordinary Shares and deliver Ordinary Shares as provided in this Article ‎23. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and conditioned upon the actual Transfer of such Ordinary Shares to the purchaser.

 

 - 17 - 

 

 

23.4.The share certificate or certificates that the Selling Holder delivers to the Offeror pursuant to Article ‎23.3 shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the Transfer of the Equity Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Offeror shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Holder that portion of the proceeds from such Transfer to which such Selling Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such Transfer. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Selling Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Offeror shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Equity Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed Transfer described in the Transfer Notice.

 

24.DRAG ALONG.

 

24.1.Until the closing of an IPO and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles, if any one or more Shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) who together hold more than 65% of the then issued Shares of the Company on an as converted basis (the “Approval Threshold”) approve a Liquidation Event (in this Article, the “Applicable Liquidation Event”), then the Selling Shareholders shall have the option to require all other Shareholders and any person who may become a holder of Shares in the Company upon exercise of any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for Shares in the Company which exist at the date of such approval (together, the “Called Shareholders”) to Transfer all their Transferred Shares (as defined below) in the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Article ‎24.

24.3.In the event that a Called Shareholder is required and fails to surrender its share certificate in connection with the consummation of the Applicable Liquidation Event, such certificate shall be deemed cancelled and the Company shall be authorized to issue a new certificate in the name of the person making the offer for the Applicable Liquidation Event, and the Board of Directors shall be authorized to empower any two of its members to establish an escrow account, for the benefit of the Called Shareholder, into which the consideration for such Shares represented by the cancelled share certificate shall be deposited and to appoint a trustee to administer such account. Each Shareholder recognizes and accepts that the powers granted to the Company and/or the Board of Directors as set forth above are granted in order to ensure and protect the rights of the other Shareholders and that therefore, such powers, upon the use thereof shall be irrevocable with respect to such matter or action with respect to which the Board of Directors has exercised such powers.

 

24.4.The consideration to be received by a Called Shareholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Share to be received by each Selling Shareholder (or, if the Selling Shareholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, the same option shall be given) and the terms and conditions of the Transfer shall, except as otherwise provided in Article ‎24.9, be the same as those upon which each Selling Shareholder Transfers his Shares in the Company.

24.9.Notwithstanding anything in these Articles or, to the extent permitted, in any applicable law to the contrary, the approval of any transaction consummated pursuant to this Article ‎24 or Section 341 of the Companies Law shall not be subject to the approval of a separate class vote of the holders of the shares of any particular class.

Conversion

 

72.CONVERSION.

 

The holders of Preferred Shares shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

72.1.Subject to adjustment as specified below, each holders of Preferred Shares have the right, at any time in its sole discretion, to convert each such Preferred Share into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such Share by the applicable conversion price at the time in effect for such Share (the “Conversion Price”). The initial Conversion Price per Preferred Share shall be its applicable Original Issue Price, i.e., each Preferred Share may be converted into one Ordinary Share prior to the occurrence of any adjustment, provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Article ‎72.3 below.

 

72.2.A class of Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares in accordance with these Articles if the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares of such class, calculated together, so agree in writing. In addition, immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO, each Preferred Share shall be automatically converted into Ordinary Share(s) in accordance with these Articles (any conversion pursuant to this Article ‎72.2, an “Automatic Conversion”).

 

72.3.The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment in the following cases:

 

72.3.1.In the event that the Company issues any New Securities at a price per share lower than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance (the “Reduced Price”), then such Conversion Price shall be reduced, for no additional consideration, in accordance with the following broad based weighted average formula:

 

CP = [(A x P’) + (C x P’’)] / (A + C)

 

where: CP is the reduced Conversion Price; A is the number of Ordinary Shares, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis (treating for this purpose as outstanding all Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Options (as defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Preferred Shares), outstanding immediately prior to the relevant issuance of New Securities, but excluding Ordinary Shares reserved for Options that were not allocated prior to the relevant issuance of New Securities; P’ is the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance; C is the number of New Securities; and P’’ is the Reduced Price.

 

 - 36 - 

 

 

In the case of the issuance of New Securities for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received therefor after deducting from such cash amount any discounts, finder’s fees or underwriting commissions paid or incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

 

In the case of the issuance of New Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof, as shall be determined in accordance with Article ‎71.5 above, mutatis mutandis.

 

In the case of the issuance of warrants or options to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, New Securities, or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for New Securities or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (collectively, “Options”), the New Securities deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments), conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of issuance of such Options at a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in two immediately preceding paragraphs), if any, received by the Company for such Options upon the issuance of such Options plus any additional consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of such Options (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for the New Securities covered thereby.

 

72.3.2.In the event the Company shall at any time change, by subdivision or combination in any manner or by the making of a dividend payable in Shares (i.e., bonus shares) or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional Ordinary Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding into a different number of Shares, then thereafter the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Ordinary Shares by reason of such change.

 

72.3.3.In the event of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification of the share capital of the Company or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any change in the Ordinary Shares), each Preferred Share shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification of share capital, consolidation, merger or sale, entitle the holder to obtain the kind and number of Ordinary Shares, or of the shares of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger, as the case may be, to which such holder would have been entitled if he had held the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of such shares of Preferred Shares immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale.

 

 - 37 - 

 

 

72.4.The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article ‎72 and in taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the voting rights and the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares against impairment.

 

72.5.Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article ‎72, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of the applicable class of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth each adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the applicable Conversion Price, as the case may be, at the time in effect, and (c) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of each Preferred Share held by such holder.

 

73.RESERVATION OF SHARES.

 

All Ordinary Shares as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Shares shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the Conversion Rights of the Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all such Preferred Shares. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the Conversion Rights of all such Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holders of such Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite Shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles.
