(A)   the holders of Preferred A-1 Shares and Preferred A Shares shall be entitled to receive for each Preferred A-1 Share and Preferred A Share held by them, an amount equal to the higher of: (i) one (1) times the applicable Original Issue Price of each such Preferred A-1 Share and Preferred A Share, respectively, in US$ (in cash, cash equivalents or, if applicable, securities), plus any accrued and unpaid undeclared dividends on behalf of the Preferred A/A-1 Dividend Preference, plus an amount equal to all other declared but unpaid Dividends on each Preferred A-1 Share and Preferred A Share and less the aggregate of all amounts of Preferred A/A-1 Dividend Preference and/or Distributable Proceeds previously paid in preference with respect to each such Preferred A-1 Share and Preferred A Share (the “Preferred A/A-1 Preference”), and (ii) the amount per share such holder would have received for such Preferred A Share or Preferred A-1 Share had all Preferred A Shares and Preferred A-1 Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such Liquidation (taking into account the aggregate amount of Distributable Proceeds previously paid in preference pursuant to this Article 8.1 and any Dividend Preference paid pursuant to these Articles below with respect to such Preferred A Share and Preferred A-1 Shares) (the “Preferred A Pro-Rata Distribution”).

 

 

- 11 -

 

(B)   each Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor shall be entitled to receive, an amount equal to its Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor Pro-Rata Share of the Re-Allocated A Preference (“Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor Re-Allocated A Preference”). The entitlement for the Re- Allocated A Preference shall be tied to the Preferred B-4 Shares issued to each Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor, such that for each Preferred B-4 Share held by any Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor by virtue of the conversion of its investment pursuant to the New CLA, such Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Preferred B-4 Preference as per articles 8.1.1 and 8.1.2, an amount equal to such Qualifying Preferred B-4 Investor Re-Allocated A Preference divided by the number of Preferred B-4 Shares issued to such Qualified Preferred B-4 Investor upon conversion of the New CLA.

 

(In the event that the Distributable Proceeds shall be insufficient for the distribution of the Preferred A/A-1 Preference and the Re-Allocated A Preference, in full, the Distributable Proceeds shall be distributed among the applicable holders on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on the total Preferred A/A-1 Preference and Re-Allocated A Preference owed thereto).

 

8.1.1.6Lastly, after payment in full of the Preferred S Preference, the Preferred B-3/B-4 Preference, the Preferred B/B-1/B-2 Preference, the Re- Allocated B Preference, the Preferred A/A-1 Preference or the Preferred A Pro-Rata Distribution (as applicable) and the Re- Allocated A Preference (collectively: the “Liquidation Preference”), the Preferred B-4 Shareholders, Preferred B-3 Shareholders, Preferred B-2 Shareholders, Preferred B-1 Shareholders and the Ordinary Shareholders, in respect of their Preferred B-4 Shares, Preferred B-3 Shares, Preferred B-2 Shares, Preferred B-1 Shares, Preferred B Shares and Ordinary Shares, respectively, then outstanding, the remaining Distributable Proceeds available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed on a pro-rata, pari passu and as-converted basis (without, for the avoidance of doubt, such Preferred B-4 Shares, Preferred B-3 Shares, Preferred B-2 Shares, Preferred B-1 Shares and Preferred B Shares actually being converted into Ordinary Shares). For clarity, receipt of their respective portion of the Liquidation Preference by the applicable Preferred Shareholders shall not derogate from the right of such Preferred Shareholders to receive the distribution in the prior sentence.

 

8.1.2.Unless otherwise approved by the Preferred B Majority and (except in the event of an exercise of the Call Option) the Preferred S Majority, any M&A Transaction shall be treated as a Liquidation pursuant to the above provisions of this Article 8.1 (a “Deemed Liquidation”), and the provisions of Articles 8.1.1.1 through 8.1.1.6 shall apply to a distribution of the Distributable Proceeds received by the Company and/or the Shareholders in connection with such Deemed Liquidation. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation resulting from the transfer of outstanding Shares of the Company, no such transfer shall be valid and the Company shall not register it in the Register, unless measures determined by the Board that are satisfactory to the Preferred B Majority and (except in the event of an exercise of the Call Option) the Preferred S Majority are taken for the distribution of the consideration received for such transfer in accordance with Articles 8.1.1.1 through 8.1.1.6 above; where in the case of the Call Option, the measures set forth in the Call Option Agreement shall apply and are deemed to fully satisfy the requirements set forth in this Article 8.1.2.

8.1.3.In the event of a Deemed Liquidation if any portion of the consideration payable or distributable to the Shareholders is placed into escrow or is payable or distributable to the Shareholders subject to contingencies (the “Deferred Payments”), the purchase agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction shall provide that (and in the absence of such provision, including with respect to the Call Option Agreement, the following shall in any event apply): that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the Shareholders in accordance with Articles 8.1.1.1, 8.1.1.2 8.1.1.3, 8.1.1.4, 8.1.1.5 and 8.1.1.6 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable or distributable to the shareholders of the Company upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the shareholders in accordance with Articles 8.1.1.1, 8.1.1.2 8.1.1.3, 8.1.1.4, 8.1.1.5 and 8.1.1.6 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration and Deferred Payments (if any) as part of the same transaction.

 

8.1.4.The Company shall give each holder of record of Preferred Shares written notice of such Liquidation, Distribution of Dividends or Deemed Liquidation (other than pursuant to the exercise of the Call Option, where if the Call Option is exercised the Company shall provide each such holder with notice as soon as possible following its receipt of the Exercise Notice (as defined in the Call Option Agreement) impending transaction not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Shareholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Article 8.1, and the Company shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than ten (10) Business Days after the Company has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) Business Days after the Company has given notice of any material changes to the information provided in a notice provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the holders of the Preferred B Majority and (except in the event of an exercise of the Call Option) the Preferred S Majority.

8.1.5.If the amount deemed paid or distributed under this Article 8.1 is made in property other than in cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property, determined as follows:

 

8.1.5.1For securities not subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability,

(4)           if securities to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Call Option, the price attributed to such securities pursuant to the terms of the Call Option Agreement.

 

8.1.5.2The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall take into account an appropriate discount (as determined in good faith by the Board) from the market value as determined pursuant to Article 8.1.5.1 above so as to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof.

 

8.1A Dividend Rights.

 

8.1A1       Preferred Shares.

- 15 -

 

8.1A3Non-Cash Dividends. Whenever a dividend provided for in this Section 8.1A shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such dividend shall be determined in accordance with Article 8.1.5 above which shall apply mutatis mutandis hereto.

 

8.2.Conversion. The Preferred Shareholders shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

8.2.1.Right to Convert.

 

8.2.1.1.Each Preferred Share shall be convertible at the option of the holder of such share, at any time after the Original Issue Date of such share, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares of the Company as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such share by the Conversion Price (as defined below) at the time in effect for such share. The initial conversion price per each Preferred Share shall be the Original Issue Price for such share (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, that the Conversion Price for each Preferred Share shall be adjusted in accordance with any Recapitalization Event and pursuant to the anti- dilution and other adjustment provisions set forth herein.

 

8.2.1.2.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Preferred Share (including the applicable accrued Dividend Preference, subject to applicable law and required tax withholding, if any) shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Preferred Share, immediately upon: (i) a QIPO; or (ii) upon the written consent of (A) the Preferred B Majority and (B) the holder of the Special Share or the Preferred S Majority. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conversion under subsection (ii) above for an IPO (excluding a QIPO), the liquidation preference provisions described in Article 8.1 shall apply and any deviation therefrom shall be subject to the written consent of (A) the Preferred B Majority and (B) the holder of the Special Share or the Preferred S Majority.

 

8.2.1.3.Mechanics of Conversion. Before any Preferred Shareholder shall be entitled to convert any Preferred Share into Ordinary Shares, the Preferred Shareholder shall surrender the certificate or certificates thereof, or an affidavit of loss of the certificate or certificates therefor in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, duly executed, at the Office and shall give written notice by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Company of the election to convert the same. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Preferred Shareholder a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such Preferred Shareholder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificate or submission of the affidavit of loss of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. In the case of conversion pursuant to Article 8.2.1.2, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the occurrence of any of the events listed in Article 8.2.1.2 and subject to the actual occurrence of such event, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares as of such date; once again provided that the event does actually occur.

8.2.2.Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Shares.

 

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

 

 

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 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 Additional Securities; but excluding Ordinary Shares reserved for Options that were not allocated prior to the relevant issuance of Additional Securities); P' is the Conversion Price applicable to the Preferred Shares of the applicable series in effect immediately prior to such issuance; C is the number of Additional Securities; and P'' is the Reduced Price.

 

 

- 17 -

 

8.2.2.2.No adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Article 8.2.3.1 shall be made if it has the effect of increasing the Conversion Price of such Preferred Share above the Conversion Price of such Preferred Share in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

8.2.2.3.In the case of the issuance of Additional 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.

 

8.2.2.4.In the case of the issuance of Additional 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 8.1.4 above.

 

8.2.2.5.In the case of the issuance of warrants or options to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, Additional Securities, or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Securities or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (collectively, “Options”), the Additional Securities deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation 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 Articles 8.2.3.3 and 8.2.3.4), 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 Additional Securities covered thereby; provided, however, that if any Options as to which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has been made pursuant to this Article 8.2.3.5 expire without having been exercised, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such Options had not been issued (without any effect, however, on adjustments to the Conversion Price as a result of other events described in this Article); provided that no such readjustment shall have the effect of increasing the applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the applicable Conversion Price that would have resulted from other issuances of Additional Securities after the time of issuance of such Options had such Options not been issued.

 

 

- 18 -

 

8.2.2.6.For purposes of this Article 8.2.2, the consideration for any Additional Securities shall be taken into account at the U.S. dollar equivalent thereof, on the day such Additional Securities are issued or deemed to be issued pursuant to Article 8.2.3.5.

8.2.3.Recapitalization Event. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a Recapitalization Event (other than any actions under Article 8.2.2), and other than a Liquidation, Distribution of Dividends or Deemed Liquidation under Article 8.1), provision shall be made so that the Preferred Shareholders shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares would have become entitled to as a result of the Recapitalization Event had the Preferred Shares been converted to Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such Recapitalization Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of these Articles with respect to the rights of the Preferred Shareholders after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of these Articles (including adjustment, if necessary, of the Original Issue Price and the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event as equivalent to the manner in which they were applicable prior to such event as may be practicable.

8.2.4.No Fractional Shares and Certificates as to Adjustments.

 

8.2.4.1.No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

 

8.2.4.2.Upon the occurrence of each adjustment of the Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 8, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each Preferred Shareholder a certificate setting forth each adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Share.

 

8.2.5.Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any Dividend or other Distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of shares, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such Dividend, Distribution or other right, and the amount and character of such Dividend, Distribution or other right.

 

8.2.6.Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. 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 of the Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Shares, then the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

8.3.No Impairment. The Company will not 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 hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 8.

Shares; Pre-emptive Rights

10.Subject to the provisions of these Articles, including for the avoidance of any doubt, Articles 140 and 141, the Company may issue shares having the same rights as the existing shares, or having preferred or deferred rights, or rights of redemption, or restricted rights, or any other special right in respect of dividend distributions, voting, appointment or dismissal of directors, return of share capital, distribution of Company’s property, or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time, subject to the provisions of these Articles. The Company may convert any part of the issued shares to deferred shares.

 

11.Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and these Articles, the Company may issue redeemable shares and redeem them, provided, however, that the Preferred Shares shall enjoy similar redemption rights (if granted), unless otherwise agreed by (A) the Preferred B Majority and (B) the Preferred S Majority.

 

12.Until an IPO, each Shareholder who holds at least 3% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an as-converted basis (each a “Major Holder”) and BWAY (so long as it holds the Special Share or any Shares issued under the BWAY Investment Agreement or issuable upon conversion of the Principal Amount), who shall be deemed a Major Holder for all purposes of these Articles; (provided, however, that BWAY (and any of its Affiliates or transferees) shall not be considered a Major Holder under these Articles for any purpose, if it is a Defaulting Investor with respect to the Second Principal Amount) (an “Offeree”) shall have a preemptive right with respect to any issuance of Additional Securities by the Company at the offering price, in accordance with the following terms:

 

12.1.    Each Major Holder shall have the pre-emptive right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion (calculated as of the date of the Pre-emption Notice) of any issuance of Additional Securities. "Pro Rata Portion" shall mean the ratio of (a) the number of outstanding shares of the Company which such Offeree holds immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities (including, in the case of BWAY, all Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of the outstanding Principal Amount then invested under the BWAY Investment Agreement (the “Invested Principal Amount”)), on an as converted basis, to (b) the total number of all outstanding shares of the Company held by all Shareholders (including all Shares issuable upon conversion of the Invested Principal Amount), on an as converted basis, immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (the “Pro Rata Portion”). Each Major Holder (other than BWAY to the extent it is a Defaulting Investor) shall have a right of over-allotment, such that if any Major Holder does not elect to exercise its pre-emptive rights hereunder to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the Additional Securities, each Major exercising its preemptive rights hereunder may purchase such non-purchasing Major Holder’s portion (the "Major Holder Over-Allotment"). If the Major Holder Over-Allotment is oversubscribed by the Major Holder exercising their pre-emptive rights hereunder, then any such Major Holder Over-Allotment to be made among the Major Holders shall be made on a pro rata basis such that an exercising Major Holder's pro rata portion of the Major Holder Over-Allotment shall be the ratio of the total number of shares of the Company then held by such exercising Major Holder, to the sum of the total number of shares held by all of the Major Holders exercising their Major Holder Over-Allotment rights hereunder.

 

 

- 21 -

 

12.2.If the Company proposes to issue Additional Securities, it shall give each Major Holder a written notice thereof of its intention to do so, describing the Additional Securities it proposes to issue, the price of each Additional Security, the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue them, and the number of Additional Securities that each Major Holder has the right to purchase (the "Pre-emption Notice"). Each Major Holder shall have seven (7) Business Days from the date of delivery of the Pre-emption Notice to it (the "Pre-emption Period"), to agree to purchase all or any part of its Pro Rata Portion of such Additional Securities, including any such Additional Securities in the Major Holder Over-Allotment, by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the quantity of the Additional Securities to be purchased by it.

 

12.3.Following the consummation of the preemptive procedure detailed above, the Additional Securities shall be sold under the terms specified in the Pre-emption Notices, pursuant to the acceptances and the allocations detailed above. To the extent the Major Holders fail to exercise in full the pre-emptive right, together with any Major Holder Over-Allotment, within the Pre-emption Period, then the Company shall have one hundred (100) days after the delivery of the Pre-emption Notice to sell the un-sold Additional Securities at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Pre-emption Notices. If the Company has not sold the un-sold Additional Securities within said one hundred (100) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell such un-sold Additional Securities without first re-offering them to the Major Holders in the manner provided above.

 

12.4.An Offeree may assign its right under this Article 12 to a Permitted Transferee.

The Board may refuse to register a Transfer in the event that such a Transfer is to a competitor of the Company, or in the event that such a Transfer would result in the Company having more than 50 shareholders. In the event that the Board does not notify the transferor of its refusal to allow a Transfer together with a detailed reasoning for such refusal within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the Company of a request for Transfer which includes the identity of the transferor then the Board shall be deemed to have approved such Transfer, provided that such agreement by the Board will be deemed to be subject to compliance by the transferor and the transferee with the terms of these Articles related to a Transfer.

Without derogating from the foregoing or from Article 17.11, each Shareholder expressly and irrevocably (i) waives any rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, or other similar rights (contractual or statutory) that might otherwise apply in connection with any such Transfer of Shares, including a Proposed Transaction effected pursuant to the Drag Along provisions of Article 17.11 in furtherance of the Call Option Agreement, and (ii) agrees that the execution of the Call Option Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby shall constitute all approvals necessary under these Articles for purposes of compliance with any such Transfer.

 

42B.For the avoidance of doubt, no Transfer of Shares by a Shareholder to BWAY pursuant to the Call Option Agreement shall require any further approval, notice, waiver, offer or other action under Articles 39–42, and shall be deemed fully approved by the Board and all Shareholders (including by each class thereof) in accordance with these Articles.

 

43.Each Transfer of securities shall be made in writing in such form as shall be approved by the Board from time to time, in which, inter alia, the transferee agrees to be subject to these Articles of Association (as may be amended), and which shall be executed by both the transferor and transferee, and delivered to the Office together with the transferred share certificates, if share certificates have been issued with respect to the shares to be transferred, and any other proof of the transferor’s title that the Board may require. The share transfer deed with respect to a share that has been fully paid may be signed by the transferor only. A deed of transfer that has been registered, or a copy thereof, as shall be decided by the Board, shall remain with the Company; any deed of transfer that the Board shall refuse to register shall be returned, upon demand, to the Person who furnished it to the Company, together with the share certificate, if furnished.

 

 

- 31 -

 

44.The transferor shall be deemed to remain a holder of the shares until the name of the transferee is entered into the Register in respect thereof.

 

45.The Company may impose a fee for registration of a share transfer, at a reasonable rate as may be determined by the Board from time to time.

 

46.Upon the death of a Shareholder, the remaining partners, in the event that the deceased was a partner in a share, or the administrators or executors or heirs of the deceased, in the event the deceased was the sole holder of the share or was the only one of the joint holders of the share to remain alive, shall be recognized by the Company as the sole holders of any title to the shares of the deceased. However, nothing aforesaid shall release the estate of a joint holder of a share from any obligation to the Company with respect to the share that he held in partnership.

 

47.Any Person becoming entitled to a share as a consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation of a Shareholder shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the share, or, instead of being registered himself, to transfer such share to another Person, in either instance subject to the Board’s power hereunder to refuse or delay registration as they would have been entitled to do if the deceased or the bankrupt had transferred his share before his death or before his bankruptcy, and subject to all other provisions hereof relating to transfers of shares.

 

48.A Person becoming entitled to a share because of the death of a Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and to give receipts for, dividends or other payments paid or distributions made, with respect to the share, but shall not be entitled to receive notices with respect to General Meetings or to participate or vote therein with respect to that share, or to use any other right of a Shareholder, until he has been registered as a Shareholder with respect to that share.

 

Changing Share Rights

 

49.Subject to the provisions of these Articles, if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the Company may change, convert, broaden, add or vary in any other manner the rights, preferences or privileges attached to such classes by resolution of the General Meeting of the Company.

 

50.Without derogating from the foregoing, only a direct change to the rights attached to a certain class of shares under these Articles shall require an approval obtained at a meeting of the holders of such class of shares or the written consent of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued shares of such class. It is hereby clarified that any resolution required to be adopted pursuant to these Articles by the consent of a separate class of shares, whether by way of a separate General Meeting of such class or by way of written consent, shall be given by the holders of shares of such class entitled to vote or give consent thereon and no holder of shares of a certain class shall be banned from voting or consenting by virtue of being a holder of more than one class of shares of the Company, irrespective of any conflicting interests that may exist between such different classes of shares. A Shareholder shall not be required to refrain from participating in the discussion, voting and/or consenting on any resolution concerning an amendment to any class of shares held by such Shareholder, due to the fact that such Shareholder may benefit in one way or another from the outcome of such resolution.

 

51.For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified and agreed that (i) an increase of the authorized or issued share capital of an existing class of shares; (ii) the creation of a new class of shares or the issuance of shares thereof; (iii) a change of the conversion price of any class of shares; (iv) a waiver or a change, in whole or in part, to a right, preference or privilege of a class of shares (such as liquidation rights, registration rights, pre-emptive rights, etc, whether set forth in these Articles or in any agreement), whether applied on a one-time or permanent basis and whether applied in connection with a current or a future event, which waiver or change is applied in the same manner to all classes of shares to which such wavier or change is applicable, regardless whether the economic effect of such change affects classes of shares differently, shall not be deemed to be a direct change to the rights attached to any one (1) class of shares. Furthermore, any waiver or change to the rights attached to a class of shares shall not be deemed to be a direct change to the rights attached to another class of shares if such other class of shares was not entitled to the relevant rights prior to such waiver or change.

The appointment of a proxy to vote on behalf of a share held by joint holders shall be executed by the signature of the senior of the joint holders. For the purposes of this Article, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders stand in the Register.

 

67.An objection to the right of a Shareholder or a proxy to vote in a General Meeting must be raised at such meeting or at such adjourned meeting wherein that Person was supposed to vote, and every vote not disqualified at such a meeting shall be valid for each and every matter. The chairman of the meeting shall decide whether to accept or reject any objection raised at the appointed time with regard to the vote of a Shareholder or proxy, and his decision shall be final.

Such representative, guardian, or other Person may vote by proxy.

 

69.A Shareholder which is a corporation shall be entitled, by a decision of its board of directors, or by a decision of a person or other body according to a resolution of its board of directors, to appoint a person who it shall deem fit to be its representative at every meeting of the Company. The representative appointed as aforesaid shall be entitled to perform on behalf of the corporation he represents all the powers that the corporation itself might perform as if it were a person.

 

70.In every vote, a Shareholder shall be entitled to vote either personally or by proxy. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. Shareholders may participate in a General Meeting by means of a conference telephone call or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Article shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Shareholders may also vote in writing, by delivery to the Company, prior to a General Meeting, of a written notice stating their affirmative or negative vote on an issue to be considered by such meeting.

 

71.A letter of appointment of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument pursuant to which the appointee is acting shall be in writing.

“I,                            , of                            , a Shareholder holding shares in                             hereby appoint                     of                   as my proxy to vote in my name and place at the [annual, special, adjourned - as the case may be] General Meeting of Neurolief Ltd. to be held on                       , and at any adjournment thereof.

In witness whereof signed by me this day of ,                               .

An instrument appointing a proxy which is not limited in time shall expire twelve (12) months after the date of its execution; if the appointment shall be for a limited period (whether limited by time or until the occurrence of a certain event), whether in excess of twelve (12) months or not, the instrument shall be for the period stated therein.

72.A vote pursuant to an instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the death of the appointor, or the appointor becoming of unsound mind, or the cancellation of the proxy or its expiration in accordance with any law, or the transfer of the shares with respect to which the proxy was given, unless a notice in writing of any such event was received at the Office before the meeting took place.

 

73.A Shareholder is entitled to vote by a separate proxy with respect to each share held by him, provided that each proxy shall have a separate letter of appointment containing the serial number of share(s) with respect to which such proxy is entitled to vote. If a specific share is included by the holder in more than one letter of appointment, that share shall not entitle any of the proxy holders to a vote.
