Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 17, 2024, Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), Namib Minerals, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”) and a direct wholly-own subsidiary of The Southern SelliBen Trust, a registered New Zealand foreign trust (the “Company Requisite Shareholder”), Midas SPAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“SPAC Merger Sub”), Cayman Merger Sub Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Company Merger Sub”), and Greenstone Corporation, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company” or “Greenstone”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). The Company is a gold producer, developer and explorer with operations focused in Zimbabwe.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into a business combination transaction by which, among other things, (a) Company Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Company Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of the Company Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo; and (b) immediately following the Company Merger, SPAC Merger Sub will be merged with and into SPAC (the “SPAC Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”), with SPAC being the surviving entity of the SPAC Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. Upon closing of the Mergers (the “Closing,” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”) SPAC and Greenstone each will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, and PubCo will become a publicly traded company operating under the name “Namib Minerals,” and its ordinary shares and warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbols “NAMM” and “NAMMW,” respectively.

The proposed Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are expected to be consummated after the required approval by the shareholders of SPAC and the Company and the satisfaction of certain other conditions summarized below.

Business Combination Agreement

Conversion of Securities

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to existing Company shareholders (“Company Shareholders”) at Closing is (a) $500.0 million, minus (b) the estimated indebtedness as of the Company as of the date of the Closing, plus (c) the estimated cash as of the Company as of the date of the Closing, plus (d) the amount of any filing fees paid by the Company in connection with the Registration Statement (such calculated amount being equal to the “Equity Value”). The consideration will be paid entirely in stock, comprised of newly issued ordinary shares of PubCo, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “PubCo Ordinary Share”), at a price of $10.00 per ordinary share. In addition, the Company Shareholders will be entitled to receive up to 30.0 million of additional PubCo Ordinary Shares in contingent consideration, subject to the achievement of certain operational milestones over an eight (8) year post-Closing period, as described below under “Company Earnout.”

At the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), each ordinary share in the capital of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (each, a “Company Share”), that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will be exchanged for such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Ordinary Share that is equal to the quotient of (a) the Equity Value, divided by the (B) Fully-Diluted Company Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), divided by (c) $10.00 (the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in exchange for Company Shares, collectively, the “Company Shareholder Closing Consideration”).

As a result of the SPAC Merger, (a) each outstanding share of SPAC’s common stock will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive for one PubCo Ordinary Share, and (b) each outstanding SPAC warrant will become exercisable for one PubCo Ordinary Share on the same terms and conditions.

Company Earnout

During the period between the Closing Date and the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), PubCo will issue, in addition to the Company Shareholder Closing Consideration issued at Closing, up to 30.0 million PubCo Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “Company Earnout Shares”) to the Company Shareholders as follows upon the satisfaction of the following milestones:

(i)

1.0 million PubCo Ordinary Shares the Company delivers a bankable feasibility study for the Mazowe mine;

(ii)

4.0 million PubCo Ordinary Shares if the Mazowe mine reaches commercial production (i.e., the production of the first gold bar after processing and smelting);

(iii)

1.0 million PubCo Ordinary Shares the Company delivers a bankable feasibility study for the Redwing mine;

(iv)

4.0 million PubCo Ordinary Shares if the Redwing mine reaches commercial production (i.e., the production of the first gold bar after processing and smelting); and

(v)

10.0 million PubCo Ordinary Shares if the net present value of certain exploration projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as identified in a bankable feasibility study, is greater than or equal to $1.0 billion, with an additional 10.0 million shares if such net present value is greater than or equal to $2.0 billion.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of PubCo during the Company Earnout Period, then all milestones described above will be deemed to have been satisfied and all Company Earnout Shares that have not been previously issued will be issued to the Company Shareholders effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control.

Registration Statement

As promptly as practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC, PubCo and the Company will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”), which will include a prospectus with respect to PubCo’s securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and a proxy statement to be distributed to holders of SPAC’s common stock in connection with SPAC’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by SPAC’s stockholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination with Greenstone and other matters to be described in the Registration Statement (the “Proxy Statement”).

Representations and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of (a) the SPAC and (b) the Company, PubCo, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub, in each case relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and their outstanding capitalization. The representations and warranties of SPAC, the Company, PubCo, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub will not survive the Closing, and the Business Combination Agreement does not provide for indemnification with respect to any of the representations and warranties of the parties thereto.

Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants requiring (i) the parties to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course through the Closing Date, (ii) the parties not to solicit, initiate, submit, facilitate, discuss or negotiate with third parties regarding alternative transactions and will comply with certain related restrictions, (iii) SPAC, PubCo and the Company to prepare and PubCo to file with the SEC the Registration Statement, (iv) SPAC and PubCo to use commercially reasonable efforts to execute financing agreements (the “Permitted Financing”) raising $60.0 million or more in aggregate gross proceeds prior to or at the Closing, and (v) the Company to consult with and keep SPAC reasonably informed of the any interim financings by the Company prior to the Closing.

Governance

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, immediately following the Closing, the board of directors of PubCo (i) will consist of one (1) director desginated in writing by the Sponsor, reasonably acceptable to the Company and qualifying as an independent director, and such other directors designated in writing by the Company, after consultation with SPAC, and (ii) will be divided into three (3) classes of directors with staggered terms. The management team of PubCo as of immediately following the Closing will consist solely of the Company’s current management team.

The Closing will occur on the first date following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions, or at such other time or in such other manner as agreed upon by the SPAC and the Company in writing.

(c)

by either the Company or SPAC if any governmental authority has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any governmental order which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions;

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Business Combination Agreement will become void, and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party thereto or its respective affiliates, officers, directors or shareholders, other than liability of the Company, SPAC, the SPAC Merger Sub, or the Company Merger Sub, as the case may be, for fraud or for any willful and material breach of the Business Combination Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement and any related agreements. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about SPAC, the Company or the other parties thereto. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by SPAC, SPAC Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub and the Company contained in the Business Combination Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement, including being qualified by confidential information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to securityholders. The confidential disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors and securityholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in SPAC’s public disclosures.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

If at the Closing, certain of the SPAC’s transaction expenses exceed $8 million (such excess over $8 million, the “SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap Excess”), the Sponsor will forfeit to the SPAC a number of shares of SPAC’s common stock equal to (x) the amount of the SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap Excess divided by (y) $10.00.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Sponsor Letter Agreement) of PubCo during the period commencing on the date that is 150 days after the Closing Date and ending on the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Sponsor Earnout Period”), then the vesting requirements described in the immediately preceding two sentences will be deemed to have been satisfied and vesting of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be accelerated.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking Statements

This Report includes, or incorporates by reference, forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report are forward-looking statements. Any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are also forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “may,” “target,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “preliminary,” or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, SPAC’s, PubCo’s, or their respective management teams’ expectations concerning the outlook for their or PubCo’s business, productivity, plans, and goals for future operational improvements and capital investments, operational performance, future market conditions, or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, including expected gross proceeds, expected additional funding, the percentage of redemptions of SPAC’s public stockholders, growth prospects and outlook of PubCo’s operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the achievement of project milestones, commencement and completion of commercial operations of certain of Greenstone’s exploration and production projects, as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of PubCo. Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the expected benefits of the Transactions. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the respective management teams of PubCo and SPAC, as applicable, and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstance and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (i) the risk that the Transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of SPAC’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Transactions may not be completed by SPAC’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by SPAC; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the stockholders of SPAC, the satisfaction of the $25 million minimum cash amount condition to the Business Combination Agreement following redemptions by SPAC’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (iv) market risks, including the price of gold; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Transactions on PubCo’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (vii) risks that the Transactions disrupt current plans of PubCo and potential difficulties in its employee retention as a result of the Transactions; (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against PubCo or SPAC related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions; (ix) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions; (x) the inability to maintain the listing of SPAC’s securities or to meet listing requirements and maintain the listing of PubCo’s securities on the Nasdaq; (xi) the risk that the price of PubCo’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which PubCo plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies, natural disasters or health epidemics/pandemics, national security tensions, and macro-economic and social environments affecting its business, and changes in the combined capital structure; (xii) the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Transactions, identify and realize additional opportunities, and manage its growth and expanding operations; (xiii) the risk that PubCo may not be able to successfully develop its assets, including expanding the How Mine, restarting and expanding its other mines in Zimbabwe or developing its exploration permits in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”); (xiv) the risk that PubCo will be unable to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which many not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xv) political and social risks of operating in Zimbabwe and the DRC; (xvi) the operational hazards and risks that PubCo faces; and (xvii) the risk that additional financing in connection with the Transactions may not be raised on favorable terms, in a sufficient amount to satisfy the $25 million (post-redemptions) minimum cash amount condition to the Business Combination Agreement, or at all. The foregoing list is not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither SPAC nor PubCo presently know or that SPAC and PubCo currently believe are immaterial. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors, any other factors discussed in this Report and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, the risks to be described in the Registration Statement and those discussed and identified in public filings made with the SEC by SPAC and PubCo, from time to time. PubCo and SPAC caution you against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect current beliefs and are based on information currently available as of the date a forward-looking statement is made. Forward-looking statements set forth in this Report speak only as of the date of this Report.

At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, cease to represent a right to acquire the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and shall be converted in accordance with the terms of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, at the SPAC Merger Effective Time, into a right to acquire the same number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (a “PubCo Warrant” and collectively, the “PubCo Warrants”) on substantially the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

(e) SPAC Redeeming Stock.

Section 2.7. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share will be issued by virtue of any of the Mergers, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share shall instead have the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole PubCo Ordinary Share.

The Company, PubCo, SPAC, SPAC Merger Sub or Company Merger Sub (or their respective Affiliates or Representatives), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Person to reduce or eliminate any such requirement to deduct or withhold to the extent permitted by Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company, PubCo, SPAC, SPAC Merger Sub or Company Merger Sub (or their Affiliates or Representatives), as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) if the Mazowe Mine BFS Milestone is achieved during the Company Earnout Period, an aggregate of 1,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued to the Company Shareholders;

(b) If any Company Earnout Milestone is not satisfied during the Company Earnout Period, the obligation of PubCo to issue the number of Company Earnout Shares pursuant to this Section 2.11 with respect to such Company Earnout Milestone shall automatically terminate and no longer apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to achieve a Company Earnout Milestone shall not preclude the satisfaction of any other Company Earnout Milestone.

(c) The Company Earnout Shares shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any cash dividends), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time any such Company Earnout Shares are delivered to the Company Shareholders, if any.

(e) The parties intend that none of the rights to receive Company Earnout Shares, and any interest therein, shall be deemed to be a “security” for purposes of any securities law of any jurisdiction. The right to receive Company Earnout Shares are deemed contractual rights in connection with the Company Merger and the parties do not view the right to receive the Company Earnout Shares as an investment by the holders thereof. The right to receive Company Earnout Shares (i) will not be represented by any physical certificate or similar instrument and (ii) does not represent an equity or ownership interest in any entity. No interest in the right to receive Company Earnout Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, except (A) by operation of law or (B) transfers or distributions by entity holders to their affiliates, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void.

Section 8.2. Preparation of Proxy/Registration Statement; SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting and Approvals.

(a) Proxy/Registration Statement.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall prepare, and PubCo shall file with the SEC, a Proxy/Registration Statement. SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and the Company each shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to (1) cause the Proxy/Registration Statement when filed with the SEC, or when subsequently supplemented or amended, to comply in all material respects with all Laws applicable thereto and rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, (2) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the SEC concerning the Proxy/Registration Statement, (3) cause the Proxy/Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable and (4) keep the Proxy/Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Transactions.

As promptly as practicable after finalization and effectiveness of the Proxy/Registration Statement, SPAC shall mail the final proxy statement contained in the Proxy/Registration Statement to the SPAC Stockholders. Each of SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall furnish to the other parties all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested by any of them or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Proxy/Registration Statement, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of SPAC, PubCo, the Company or their respective Affiliates to any Governmental Authority (including Nasdaq) in connection with the Transactions.

(ii) Any filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy/Registration Statement will be mutually prepared and agreed upon by SPAC, PubCo and the Company. PubCo will advise the Company and SPAC, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the Proxy/Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy/Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and responses thereto, and shall provide the Company and SPAC a reasonable opportunity to provide comments and amendments to any such filing. SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy/Registration Statement and any amendment to the Proxy/Registration Statement filed in response thereto.

(iii) If, at any time prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, any Event relating to SPAC or its officers or directors, should be discovered by SPAC that would cause the Proxy/Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, SPAC shall promptly inform the Company. If, at any time prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to any Group Company, any Acquisition Entity or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company, any other Group Company or any Acquisition Entity that would cause the Proxy/Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company or PubCo, as the case may be, shall promptly inform SPAC. Thereafter, SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall promptly cooperate in the preparation and filing of an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy/Registration Statement describing or correcting such information, and SPAC and PubCo shall promptly file such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the SPAC Stockholders. No information received or provided pursuant to this Section 8.2(a)(iii) shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by the party who disclosed such information, and no such information shall be deemed to change, supplement or amend the Disclosure Letters.

(b) SPAC Stockholders’ Approval.

(i) Prior to or as promptly as practicable after the Proxy/Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, SPAC shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the SPAC Stockholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting”) in accordance with the SPAC Charter to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable and, unless otherwise agreed by SPAC and the Company in writing, in any event not more than thirty (30) days following the date that the Proxy/Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act for the purpose of voting on the SPAC Stockholder Transaction Proposals and obtaining the SPAC Stockholders’ Approval (including the approval of any adjournment or postponement of such meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the SPAC Stockholder Transaction Proposals), providing the SPAC Stockholders with the opportunity to elect to exercise their SPAC Stockholder Redemption Right and such other matters as may be mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company. SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts (A) to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the adoption of the SPAC Stockholder Transaction Proposals, including the SPAC Stockholders’ Approval, and will take all other action necessary or advisable to obtain such proxies and SPAC Stockholders’ Approval and (B) to obtain the vote or consent of its shareholders required by and in compliance with all applicable Laws, Nasdaq rules and the SPAC Charter. SPAC (x) shall consult with the Company regarding the record date and the date of the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting prior to determining such dates and (y) shall not adjourn or postpone the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that SPAC may adjourn or postpone the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting (1) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy/Registration Statement that SPAC or PubCo reasonably determines (following consultation with the Company) is necessary to comply with applicable Laws, is provided to the SPAC Stockholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of the SPAC Stockholder Transaction Proposals, (2) if, as of the time that the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of SPAC Common Stock represented at such meeting (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting, (3) if, as of the time that the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, adjournment or postponement of the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting is necessary to enable SPAC to solicit additional proxies required to obtain SPAC Stockholders’ Approval, (4) in order to seek withdrawals from SPAC Stockholders who have exercised their SPAC Stockholder Redemption Right if a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock have been elected to be redeemed such that SPAC reasonably expects that the Minimum Cash Condition will not be satisfied at the Closing, or (5) to comply with applicable Laws.

(ii) The Proxy/Registration Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the SPAC Board has unanimously recommended that the SPAC Stockholders vote in favor of the SPAC Stockholder Transaction Proposals at the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting (such statement, the “SPAC Board Recommendation”) and neither the SPAC Board nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, the SPAC Board Recommendation, except in each case to the extent the SPAC Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify the SPAC Board Recommendation would be in violation of its fiduciary obligations to SPAC under applicable Law.

Section 8.3. Efforts to Consummate. Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VI, Article VII or Article VIII, the Company, the Acquisition Entities and SPAC shall (a) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that the Company and any Group Companies or SPAC, as applicable, are required to obtain in order to consummate the Transactions, and (b) use reasonable best efforts to take such other action as may be reasonably necessary or as another party hereto may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX (including, in the case of the Company, SPAC and PubCo, the use of reasonable best efforts to enforce their respective rights under any Permitted Financing Agreements, as applicable) or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, as promptly as reasonable after the date hereof (and, as necessary, from time to time), the Company shall cause notice of the assignment to the Company of the rights and benefits of the DRC Project MOU (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) to be given to the counterparties thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, as promptly as reasonable after the date hereof, the Company shall (at its expense): (i) submit a completed stock transfer form in respect of the transfer of the BMC Shares, which has been duly executed in favor of the Company, to HM Revenue and Customs for stamping and paying or causing to be paid any stamp duties and other similar taxes and duties payable in respect of such transfer, in each case not later than the date required by applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, prior to the date after which any fines or penalties would be imposed); and (ii) cause BMC to update the books and registers of BMC to reflect the Company as the sole shareholder of BMC upon receipt of the stamped stock transfer form from HM Revenue and Customs following the payment of the stamp duty and stock transfer form submission referred to in clause (i) above.

(b) Neither the Acquisition Entities, nor SPAC, nor any of their Affiliates will take any action or engage in any transaction that would result in the liquidation of the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation or the Company Merger Surviving Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes within two (2) calendar years following the Closing Date.

(c) If any opinion relating to the Intended Tax Treatment is required in connection with the filing of the Proxy/Registration Statement or any other required disclosure in respect thereof, then (i) to the extent such opinion or disclosure relates to the Company or any of its direct or indirect owners, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such opinion to be provided by a nationally recognized tax advisor of the Company, and (ii) to the extent such opinion or disclosure relates to SPAC or any of its direct or indirect owners, SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such opinion to be provided by a nationally recognized tax advisor of SPAC. Each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its respective affiliates to, cooperate in connection with the delivery of any such opinion, including by providing any customary representation letters that may be reasonably requested by any such tax advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the parties or their respective tax advisors are obligated to provide any tax opinion other than a customary opinion regarding the material accuracy of any disclosure regarding U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Transactions included in the Proxy/Registration Statement as may be required to satisfy applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, nor will a tax opinion by any party’s advisors be a condition precedent to the Transactions.

(d) PubCo shall pay all Transfer Taxes and file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other document.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision (with the right to make copies) of records and information reasonably relevant to any Tax proceeding or audit, making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder (to the extent such information or explanation is not publicly or otherwise reasonably available). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) any SPAC Stockholder who owns five percent (5%) or more of the SPAC Common Stock immediately after the Closing, as determined under Section 367 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, may enter into (and cause to be filed with the IRS) a gain recognition agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8; and

(ii) upon the written request of any SPAC Stockholder made following the Closing Date, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation and PubCo shall (x) furnish to such SPAC Stockholder such information as such SPAC Stockholder reasonably requests in connection with such SPAC Stockholder’s preparation of a gain recognition agreement, (y) provide such SPAC Stockholder with the information reasonably requested by such SPAC Stockholder for purposes of determining whether there has been a gain “triggering event” under the terms of such SPAC Stockholder’s gain recognition agreement, and (z) provide any assistance and information to such SPAC Stockholder for purposes of complying with Section 367 including Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(6), in each case, at the sole cost and expense of such requesting SPAC Stockholder.

(f) At the Closing, SPAC shall deliver or cause to be delivered to PubCo a certificate, in the form and substance required by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1445-2(c)(3)(i) and 1.897-2(h), certifying that SPAC is not and has not been during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code.

Other than with respect to any Shareholder Litigation where the parties identified in this sentence are adverse to each other or in the context of any Shareholder Litigation related to or arising out of a Company Acquisition Proposal or a SPAC Acquisition Proposal, (a) the Company and, prior to the Closing, PubCo shall give SPAC a reasonable opportunity to participate, but not control, at its sole expense, in the defense or settlement of any such Shareholder Litigation (and consider in good faith the suggestions of SPAC in connection therewith) brought against the Company or PubCo, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers and no such settlement shall be agreed to without SPAC’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (b) SPAC shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate, but not control, at its sole expense, in the defense or settlement of any such Shareholder Litigation (and consider in good faith the suggestions of the Company in connection therewith) brought against SPAC, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 8.6. Permitted Financing.

Each of SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the arrangement of any Permitted Financing as may be reasonably requested by each other.

(b) Unless otherwise consented in writing by each of the Company and SPAC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), PubCo shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any waiver (in whole or in part) or provide consent to (including consent to termination), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Permitted Financing Agreements. Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Permitted Financing Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Permitted Financing Agreements and to: (i) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to it in the Permitted Financing Agreements and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (ii) without limiting the rights of any party to enforce certain of such Permitted Financing Agreements, in the event that all conditions in the Permitted Financing Agreements (other than conditions that the Company, SPAC, PubCo or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closings under the Permitted Financing Agreements) have been satisfied, consummate the transactions contemplated by the Permitted Financing Agreements at or prior to the Closing; (iii) confer with each other regarding timing of the expected closings under the Permitted Financing Agreements; and (iv) deliver notices to the applicable counterparties to the Permitted Financing Agreements sufficiently in advance of the Closing to cause them to fund their obligations as far in advance of the Closing as permitted by the Permitted Financing Agreements.

Section 8.7. D&O Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing, the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation and PubCo shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of the respective present and former directors and officers of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, SPAC and any Acquisition Entity (in each case, solely to the extent acting in his or her capacity as such (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”)) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or Liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent that the Company, its Subsidiaries, SPAC or such Acquisition Entity, respectively, would have been permitted under applicable Laws and its respective certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, memorandum and articles of association, limited liability company agreement, limited liability partnership agreement, limited liability limited partnership agreement or other Organizational Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such D&O Indemnified Parties (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws). Without limiting the foregoing, the Acquisition Entities shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Closing provisions in its certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, memorandum and articles of association, limited liability company agreement, limited liability partnership agreement, limited liability limited partnership agreement and other Organizational Documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of SPAC’s and each Acquisition Entity’s respective former and current officers, directors, employees, and agents that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, memorandum and articles of association, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement, limited liability partnership agreement, limited liability limited partnership agreement and other Organizational Documents of SPAC or such Acquisition Entity, respectively, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.7 shall survive the Closing indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation and PubCo and all of their respective successors and assigns. In the event that the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation, PubCo or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation or PubCo, respectively, shall ensure (and each of PubCo, the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation and the Company Merger Surviving Corporation shall cause its Subsidiaries to ensure) that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation or PubCo as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 8.7.

(d) The provisions of Section 8.7(a) through (c): (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Person who is now, or who has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Closing, a D&O Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives, (ii) shall be binding on the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, the Company Merger Surviving Corporation and PubCo and their respective successors and assigns, (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have, whether pursuant to Law, Contract, Organizational Documents, or otherwise and (iv) shall survive the consummation of the Closing and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party.

Section 8.8. Post-Closing Directors and Officers of PubCo.

(a) PubCo shall take all such action necessary or appropriate such that immediately following the SPAC Merger Effective Time, the board of directors of PubCo shall consist of (i) one (1) director designated in writing by the Sponsor, reasonably acceptable to the Company and qualifying as an independent director (the “Sponsor Director”), and (ii) such other directors designated in writing by the Company, after consultation with SPAC; provided, however, that such directors, as well as their respective class designations and committee memberships, designated pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be determined sufficiently in advance to allow for inclusion of such Persons in the Proxy/Registration Statement.

(b) The board of directors of PubCo as of immediately following the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall comply with Nasdaq rules and shall be divided into three (3) classes of directors with staggered terms. The composition of such classes and the committee membership of the directors shall be determined by the Company.

(c) The management team of PubCo as of immediately following the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall consist solely of the Company’s current management team.

Section 8.9. PubCo Incentive Plans. Prior to the Closing Date, PubCo shall approve and adopt, effective as of the SPAC Merger Effective Time, (a) an equity incentive plan and (b) an employee stock purchase plan, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company based on the advice of the independent compensation consultant and in consultation with SPAC (collectively, the “PubCo Incentive Plans”); provided that the PubCo Incentive Plans (including the size and structure thereof) shall be determined sufficiently in advance to allow for inclusion of the PubCo Incentive Plans in the Proxy/Registration Statement to the extent approval of the PubCo Incentive Plans is required to be included as SPAC Stockholder Transaction Proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the equity awards, or PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued, under such PubCo Incentive Plans will result in any deduction to the Equity Value or the Company Shareholder Closing Consideration. As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, PubCo shall engage an independent compensation consultant to advise on the size and structure of the PubCo Incentive Plans.

Section 8.10. Amendment to the SPAC Warrant Agreement. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, PubCo and SPAC shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the SPAC Warrant Agreement with Continental, in the form to be mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”).

Section 8.11. Notice of Developments. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall promptly (and in any event prior to the Closing) notify SPAC in writing, and SPAC shall promptly (and in any event prior to the Closing) notify the Company in writing, upon any of the Group Companies or SPAC, as applicable, becoming aware (awareness being determined with reference to the Knowledge of the Company or the Knowledge of SPAC, as the case may be): (a) of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which has caused or is reasonably likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied or (b) of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions or to materially delay the timing thereof. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.11 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter or any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise limit or affect the rights of, or the remedies available to, SPAC or the Company, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any failure to give such notice pursuant to this Section 8.11 shall not give rise to any Liability of the Company or SPAC or be taken into account in determining whether the conditions in Article IX have been satisfied or give rise to any right of termination set forth in Article X.

(d) by written notice from SPAC to the Company if there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or any Acquisition Entity set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 9.2 would not be satisfied at the relevant Closing Date (a “Terminating Company Breach”), except that if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company or such Acquisition Entity then, for a period of up to thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of written notice from SPAC of such breach (the “Company Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating Company Breach is not cured within the Company Cure Period, provided that SPAC shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) if it is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and such breach is the principal cause of the failure of the conditions specified in Section 9.2 on or prior to such date or if the Company has already waived the breach;

Article XI
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company and each Acquisition Entity acknowledges that, as described in the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2021 (Registration No. 333-254062) (the “SPAC Prospectus”), SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Company and each Acquisition Entity further acknowledges and agrees that a significant amount of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and each Acquisition Entity hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims (as defined below), in the past, now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, any negotiation, contracts or agreements with the Company, each Acquisition Entity, or its respective representative, against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and SPAC, to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating to any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”) and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or for intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in Article IV. This Section 11.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Section 11.2. Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its board of directors or officers or Persons thereunto duly authorized, (a) extend the time for the performance of the obligations or acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties (of another party hereto) that are contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (c) subject to requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance by the other parties hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement, but such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 11.3. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by courier or by electronic mail to the intended recipient thereof at its courier delivery or email address as set out below (or to such other courier delivery or email address as a party may from time to time notify the other parties hereto by giving notice in accordance with this Section 11.3). Any such notice, demand or communication shall be deemed to have been duly served (a) if given personally or sent by courier, upon delivery or (b) if sent by electronic mail, immediately upon the sending thereof as reflected on the sender’s email system;.

The amount of any filing fees paid by the Company in connection with the Proxy/Registration Statement shall be credited towards the Equity Value. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments to be made (or caused to be made) by SPAC pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall be paid upon consummation of the Transactions and release of proceeds from the Trust Account.

(b) If, at the Closing, there is a SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap Excess, SPAC shall cause Sponsor to, in connection with the payment of the SPAC Transaction Expenses in accordance with the BCA on the Closing Date, irrevocably forfeit and surrender to SPAC for no consideration a number of shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock or SPAC Class B Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the amount of the SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap Excess divided by (y) $10.00.

Section 11.7. Governing Law. This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.

Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Letters is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality or that the facts underlying such information constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect, Acquisition Entity Material Adverse Effect, or a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable. Notwithstanding Section 1.2(h), references to agreements and other documents set forth in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to include all amendments and other modifications thereto only to the extent such amendments or modifications are Made Available to SPAC.

No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the Transactions exist between such parties except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Section 11.12. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing in the same manner as this Agreement, which makes reference to this Agreement and which shall be executed by the Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities; provided, however, that after the Company Requisite Shareholder’s Approval or the SPAC Stockholders’ Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or waiver that by applicable Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company or the shareholders of SPAC, respectively, without such approval having been obtained. The approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors (or other body performing similar functions) of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1 or to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.12.

Section 11.13. Publicity.

(a) All press releases or other public communications relating to the Transactions, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall, prior to the Closing, be subject to the prior mutual approval of SPAC and the Company; provided, that no such party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 11.13(a) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 11.13(a).

(b) The restriction in Section 11.13(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the party making the announcement shall, to the extent practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

Section 11.14. Confidentiality.

Section 11.15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto further agree that if any provision contained in this Agreement is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained in this Agreement that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties hereto.

Section 11.16. Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not fully or timely performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. The parties hereto agree that (a) each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party hereby also waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

Section 11.17. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party to this Agreement), (i) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of any party hereto and (ii) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, any Acquisition Entity or SPAC under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement (each of the Persons identified in the foregoing sub-clauses (a) or (b), a “Non-Recourse Party”, and collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”).

No party hereto shall seek to or have Sidley disqualified from any such representation with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions based upon the prior representation of SPAC or any of the other member of the SPAC Group by Sidley. The parties hereto hereby waive any potential conflict of interest arising from such prior representation and each party hereto shall cause its respective Affiliates to consent to waive any potential conflict of interest arising from such representation.

All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by PubCo (including with respect to the customary indemnification and contribution obligations of the Holders selling Registrable Securities).

Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or the launch of the Underwritten Offering with respect to such Piggyback Registration. PubCo (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or abandon an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering.

In such event, PubCo shall have the right to defer such filing or offering for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that PubCo shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

As long as any such waiver remains outstanding and has not been rescinded in writing, PubCo agrees not to notify any such Holder of any Underwritten Demand or Piggyback Registration or provide any such Holder with any information relating thereto.

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission within the timeframe required by Section 2.1.1 a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within the timeframe required by Section 2.1.1 and remain effective, including filing a replacement Registration Statement, if necessary, until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or are no longer outstanding (the “Effectiveness Period”);

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities or any Underwriter(s) of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by PubCo or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or are no longer outstanding;

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriter(s), if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders; provided, that PubCo will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;

Exhibit A-11

3.1.4 prior to any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (a) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect and (b) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of PubCo, and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that PubCo shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by PubCo are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any request by the Commission that PubCo amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 during the Effectiveness Period, at least five (5) business days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel; provided, that PubCo will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;

3.1.9 notify the Holders of Registrable Securities at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for PubCo it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, and then to correct such Misstatement or include such information as is necessary to comply with law, in each case as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

Exhibit A-12

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders of Registrable Securities (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause PubCo’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to PubCo, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and provided further, PubCo may not include the name of any Holder or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter and providing each such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments PubCo shall include unless contrary to applicable law;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from PubCo’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter or its counsel may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letters, dated such date, of counsel representing PubCo for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders of such Registrable Securities, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion and negative assurance letters are being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders, it being understood that no negative assurance letter shall be provided by Cayman Islands counsel to PubCo;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

3.1.14 otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and to make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of PubCo’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 make available for inspection, upon written request, by (i) the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement, (ii) any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (iii) any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement or by any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of PubCo, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause PubCo’s officers and directors to supply all material information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement;

Exhibit A-13

3.1.16 use its reasonable best efforts to make available senior executives of PubCo to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.17 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by, the Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by PubCo. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering initiated by PubCo hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by PubCo and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. PubCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with PubCo or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law, and if, despite the PubCo’s commercially reasonable efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder to make additional representation or warranties to or agreements with such Underwriter, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claims against PubCo as a result of such election). Any liability of such Holder to any Underwriter or other person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds (net of expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions) that it derives from such Underwritten Offering.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from PubCo that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for PubCo it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement or including the information counsel for PubCo believes to be necessary to comply with law (it being understood that PubCo hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice such that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, as applicable, will not include a Misstatement and complies with law), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by PubCo that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration or Underwritten Offering at any time would require PubCo to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to PubCo for reasons beyond PubCo’s control, PubCo may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) calendar days, determined in good faith by PubCo to be necessary for such purpose; provided, however, that PubCo shall not have the right to exercise the rights set forth in this Section 3.4 for more than 90 consecutive calendar days or more than 120 calendar days, in any such case, in any 12-month period. In the event PubCo exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. PubCo shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

Exhibit A-14

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, PubCo, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by PubCo after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. PubCo further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, PubCo shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

3.6 Transfer Restrictions.

3.6.1 Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, each Holder, severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees not to, during the Lock-Up Period, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of PubCo, (i) directly or indirectly, tender, transfer, grant, assign, offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of (including by gift, tender or exchange offer, merger or operation of law), encumber, hedge or utilize a derivative to transfer the economic interest in (each a “Transfer”), or make a public announcement of any intention to effect any Transfer in, any Registrable Securities acquired by such Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Lock-up Shares”); (ii) enter into any transactions that would have the same effect as the foregoing clause (i); or (iii) enter into any contracts, option, swap, hedge or other arrangement with respect to the Transfers of, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of any Lock-Up Shares, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of any such Lock-Up Shares, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to:

(a) Transfers to a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity of which such Holder or its Immediate Family Members is the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests;

(b) Transfers (A) by gift to any of such Holder’s Immediate Family Members; (B) to a family trust, established for the exclusive benefit of such Holder or any of such Holder’s equity holders or any of their respective Immediate Family Members; (C) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution, upon death of such Holder; or (D) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;

Exhibit A-15

(c) if such Holder is not a natural person, Transfers (A) to another person that is an Affiliate of the Holder, or to any investment fund or other entity Controlling, Controlled by, managing or managed by or under common Control with the Holder or its Affiliates or who shares a common investment advisor with the Holder; or (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners or shareholders of the Holder via dividend or share repurchase;

(d) if such Holder is not a natural person, Transfers by virtue of the Laws of the place of the Holder’s incorporation or establishment and the Holder’s Organizational Documents upon dissolution of the Holder;

(e) Transfers to a charitable or a charitable foundation controlled by the Holder, its equity holders or any of their respective Immediate Family Members;

(f) the exercise of any options or warrants to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis);

(g) in the case of the Listed Company Individual Holder, Transfers pledged in a bona fide transaction to third parties as collateral to secure obligations pursuant to lending or other arrangements between such third parties (or their affiliates or designees) and such Holder and/or its Affiliates or any similar arrangement relating to a financing arrangement for the benefit of such Holder, provided that such pledgee or other party shall not foreclose on the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-up Period (for the avoidance of doubt, no other Transfers to the pledgee shall be permitted other than pledging such Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-up Period);

(h) Transfers of PubCo Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for PubCo Ordinary Shares, in each case acquired in open market transactions after the Closing; and

(i) Transfers in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, exchange of shares or other similar transaction which results in all of PubCo’s shareholders having the right to exchange their PubCo Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property;

the transferee of each of the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) being a “Permitted Transferee”; provided further, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (g), these Permitted Transferees shall enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Section 3.6, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions on Transfer of Lock-Up Shares prior to such Transfer.

Exhibit A-16

3.6.2 PubCo shall not amend or waive the lock-up restrictions agreed with any of the Holders hereunder or otherwise release any Holder from such lock-up restrictions as provided in this Agreement, unless PubCo extends such amendment, waiver and/or release to all other Holders which are party hereto. PubCo shall provide at least ten (10) business days’ advance written notice to all Holders which are party hereto of any such amendment or waiver.

3.6.3 Each Holder hereby represents and warrants that it now has and, except as contemplated by Section 3.6, for the duration of the Lock-Up Period will have good and marketable title to its Lock-Up Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims that could impact the ability of such Holder to comply with the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.6. Each Holder agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with PubCo’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of any Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period.

Article IV
Indemnification and Contribution

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 PubCo agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Holder Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to PubCo by such Holder expressly for use therein. PubCo shall promptly reimburse the Holder Indemnified Parties for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such losses, judgments, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses. PubCo shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement for a Registration in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to PubCo in writing such information and affidavits as PubCo reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify PubCo, its directors and officers and agents, and each other Holder and its respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls PubCo or any other Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable) against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents, and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of PubCo.

Exhibit A-17

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any partner, officer, director, employee, agent, or controlling person of such indemnified party, as applicable, and shall survive the transfer of securities. PubCo and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also hereby agree to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event PubCo’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions, or taxes). The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Exhibit A-18

Article V

Any party may change its address for notice at any time and from time to time by written notice to the other parties hereto, and such change of address shall become effective thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice as provided in this Section 5.1.

5.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

5.2.1 This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of PubCo hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by PubCo in whole or in part.

5.2.2 Prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period for a Holder, no Holder may assign or delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with subsection 3.6.1.

5.2.3 This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and the permitted assigns of the applicable Holders, which shall include Permitted Transferees.

5.2.4 This Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and Section 5.2 hereof.

5.2.5 No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate PubCo unless and until PubCo shall have received (a) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof and (b) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to PubCo, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.

5.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including executed manually or electronically via DocuSign or other similar services and delivered by portable document format (pdf) transmission) in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

Exhibit A-19

5.4 Governing Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION AND THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, CITY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

5.5 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of PubCo and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the Registrable Securities, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or PubCo and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or PubCo in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or PubCo. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

5.6 Legend Removal. If a Holder holds Registrable Securities that are eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (other than the restriction set forth under Rule 144(i)) or pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, then, at such Holder’s request, accompanied by such additional representations and other documents as PubCo shall reasonably request, PubCo shall cause PubCo’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend set forth on the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in connection with any sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or the effective Registration Statement, as applicable (including, if required by PubCo’s transfer agent, by delivering to PubCo’s transfer agent a direction letter and opinion of counsel). Promptly following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, PubCo shall cause its transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend limiting the transfer of such Lock-Up Shares pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof.

5.7 Remedies Cumulative. In the event that PubCo fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Holders may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Exhibit A-20

5.8 Other Registration Rights. PubCo represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require PubCo to register any securities of PubCo for sale or to include such securities of PubCo in any Registration filed by PubCo for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, PubCo represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. From and after the date of this Agreement, PubCo shall not, without the approval of the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Registrable Securities that would grant such holder or prospective holder any registration rights more favorable in any material respect than those rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.

5.9 Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) the date as of which the Holders cease to hold any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5, Article IV and Article V shall survive any termination in accordance with their terms.

5.10 Waivers and Extensions. Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, provided that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.

For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other newspaper or by any other means in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty (40) days.

7.2

In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of the Members or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.

If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a Dividend or other distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the resolution of the Directors resolving to pay such Dividend or other distribution is passed, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members.

The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued under seal or executed in such other manner as the Directors determine.

If a Share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

8.4

Every Share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any Share certificate lost or delayed in the course of delivery.

8.5

Share certificates shall be issued within the relevant time limit as prescribed by the Statute, if applicable, or as the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law may from time to time determine, whichever is shorter, after the allotment or, except in the case of a Share transfer which the Company is for the time being entitled to refuse to register and does not register, after lodgement of a Share transfer with the Company.

Transfer of Shares

9.1

Subject to the terms of the Articles, any Member may transfer all or any of his Shares by an instrument of transfer provided that such transfer complies with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. If the Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options, warrants or units issued pursuant to the Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the Directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of such right, option, warrant or unit.

9.2

The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law or in any other form approved by the Directors and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Directors may approve from time to time. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

10.1

Subject to the provisions, if any, in these Articles, the Memorandum, Applicable Law, including the Statute, and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may:

(a)

issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Member on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may, before the issue of such Shares, determine; and

Exhibit B-10

(b)

repurchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member, provided that the manner of repurchase is in accordance with any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law;

10.2

For the avoidance of doubt, redemptions, repurchases and surrenders of Shares in the circumstances described in the Article above shall not require further approval of the Members.

10.3

The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or repurchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

10.4

The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share.

10.5

Upon the date of redemption or repurchase of a Share: (a) the Member holding that Share shall cease to be entitled to any rights in respect of the Share other than the right to receive: (i) the price for the Share; and (ii) any dividend declared in respect of the Share prior to the date of redemption or repurchase; (b) the Member’s name shall be removed from the register of Members with respect to the Share; and (c) the Share shall be cancelled or held as a Treasury Share, as the Directors may determine.

10.6

For the purpose of Article 10.5, the date of redemption or repurchase is the date when the Member’s name is removed from the register of Members with respect to the Shares the subject of the redemption or repurchase.

Treasury Shares

11.1

Subject to the relevant provisions of the Memorandum, Articles and the Statute being complied with, the Directors may, prior to the repurchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share.

11.2

The Directors may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

11.3

No dividend may be declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the Company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to Members on a winding up) may be made to the Company in respect of a Treasury Share.

11.4

The Company shall be entered in the register of Members as the holder of the Treasury Shares. However: (a) the Company shall not be treated as a Member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void; and (b) a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued Shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Statute.

Exhibit B-11

11.5

Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company in accordance with the Statute and otherwise on such terms and conditions as the Directors determine.

Variation of Rights of Shares

12.1

If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third (1/3) of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

12.2

For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two (2) or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

12.3

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of that person subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

Non Recognition of Trusts

Except as required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

Exhibit B-12

Lien on Shares

15.1

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or their estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

15.2

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale.

15.3

To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or their nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and they shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall their title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

15.4

On a sale pursuant to the preceding Articles: (a) the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Shares subject to a lien; and (b) that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for such Shares.

15.5

The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

Call on Shares

16.1

Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon them notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

Exhibit B-13

16.2

A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

16.3

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

16.4

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

16.5

An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

16.6

The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

16.7

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by that Member, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

16.8

No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

Forfeiture of Shares

17.1

If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

17.2

If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

17.3

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

Exhibit B-14

17.4

A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by that person to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but that person’s liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by them in respect of those Shares.

17.5

A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall their title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

17.6

The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

Transmission of Shares

18.1

If a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where they were a joint holder) or their legal personal representatives (where they were a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which the Member was a joint or sole holder.

18.2

Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by that person to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by them registered as the holder of such Share. If they elect to have another person registered as the holder of such Share they shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be. A person registered as a Member by reason of the death or bankruptcy of another Member shall indemnify the Company and the Directors against any loss or damage suffered by the Company or the Directors as a result of that registration.

Exhibit B-15

18.3

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which they would be entitled if they were the holder of such Share. However, they shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered or to have some person nominated by them registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Amendments of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Alteration of Capital

19.1

Subject to these Articles and to the fullest extent permitted by Statute, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase its share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such classes and amount, as such Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe and amend its Memorandum for that purpose.

19.2

Subject to these Articles and to the fullest extent permitted by Statute, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution do any of the following and amend its Memorandum for that purpose:

(a)

consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares, provided that any fractions of a Share that result from such a consolidation or division of its share capital shall be automatically repurchased by the Company at (i) the market price on the date of such consolidation or division, in the case of any Shares listed on a Designated Stock Exchange or (ii) a price to be agreed between the Company and the applicable Member in the case of any Shares not listed on a Designated Stock Exchange;

(b)

sub-divide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived;

(c)

divide Shares into multiple classes; and

(d)

cancel any Shares which, at the date of the passing of that Ordinary Resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

19.3

All new Shares created hereunder shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

Exhibit B-16

19.4

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, to any rights for the time being conferred on the Members holding a particular class of Shares and the provisions of the Articles as regards the matters to be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution, the Company may by Special Resolution:

(a)

change its name;

(b)

alter or add to the Articles;

(c)

alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and

(d)

reduce its share capital in any way or any capital redemption reserve fund.

Offices and Places of Business

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its Registered Office. The Company may, in addition to its Registered Office, maintain such other offices or places of business as the Directors determine.

General Meetings

21.1

All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

21.2

The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, the SEC and/or any other competent authority or otherwise under Applicable Law), be obligated to, hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting each year, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall approve. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

21.3

The Directors, the chief executive officer or the chairperson of the Board may call general meetings, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Members shall not have the ability to call general meetings.

21.4

The Directors shall on a Members’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

21.5

A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than fifty per cent (50%) in par value of the issued Shares which as at that date carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company.

21.6

The Members’ requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

Exhibit B-17

21.7

If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition or if the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one (21) days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half (1/2) of the total voting rights of all of the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall be held no later than the day which falls three (3) months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) day period.

21.8

A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

21.9

The Directors may make Communication Facilities available for a specific general meeting or all general meetings of the Company so that members and other participants may attend and participate at such general meetings by means of such Communication Facilities.

21.10

The notice of any general meeting at which Communication Facilities will be utilised must disclose the Communication Facilities that will be utilised, including the procedures to be followed by any member or other participant of the general meeting who wishes to utilise such Communication Facilities for the purpose of attending, participating and voting at such meeting.

Notice of General Meetings

22.1

At least five (5) clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify: (a) the place, the day and the hour of the meeting, (b) if the meeting is to be held in two or more places, the technology that will be used to facilitate the meeting, (c) subject to paragraph (d) and the requirements of (to the extent applicable) the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting; and (d) if a resolution is proposed as a Special Resolution, the text of that resolution. In each notice there shall appear with reasonable prominence the following statements:

(a)

that a Member who is entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of that Member; and

(b)

that a proxyholder need not be a Member.

22.2

Whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a)

in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote at the meeting; and

(b)

in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by all of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting.

Exhibit B-18

22.3

The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

Proceedings at General Meetings

23.1

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is Present. Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, a quorum shall be the presence, in person or by proxy, of one or more Persons holding at least one-third (1/3) of the issued Shares which confer the right to attend and vote thereat.

23.2

A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

23.3

A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all of the Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations or other non-natural persons, signed by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held. The Directors may determine the manner in which written resolutions shall be put to Members. In particular, they may provide, in the form of any written resolution, for each Member to indicate, out of the number of votes the Member would have been entitled to cast at a meeting to consider the resolution, how many votes he wishes to cast in favour of the resolution and how many against the resolution or to be treated as abstentions.

23.4

If a quorum is not Present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be Present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members’ requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not Present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members Present shall be a quorum.

23.5

The Directors may, at any time prior to the time appointed for the meeting to commence, appoint any person to act as chairperson of a general meeting of the Company or, if the Directors do not make any such appointment, the chairperson, if any, of the Board shall preside as chairperson at such general meeting. If there is no such chairperson, or if the chairperson shall not be Present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors Present shall elect one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting.

23.6

If no Director is willing to act as chairperson or if no Director is Present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting.

Exhibit B-19

23.7

The chairperson of any general meeting shall be entitled to attend and participate at such general meeting by means of Communication Facilities, and to act as the chairperson, in which event, if the Communication Facilities are interrupted or fail for any reason to enable the chairperson to hear and be heard by all other Persons attending and participating at the meeting, then the other Directors Present at the meeting shall choose another Director Present to act as chairperson of the meeting for the remainder of the meeting; provided that (i) if no other Director is Present at the meeting, or (ii) if all the Directors Present decline to take the chair, then the meeting shall be automatically adjourned to the same day in the next week and at such time and place as shall be decided by the Board.

23.8

The chairperson may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is Present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

23.9

When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

23.10

If a notice is issued in respect of a general meeting and the Directors, in their absolute discretion, consider that it is impractical or undesirable for any reason to hold that general meeting at the place, the day and the hour specified in the notice calling such general meeting, the Directors may postpone the general meeting to another place, day and/or hour provided that notice of the place, the day and the hour of the rearranged general meeting is promptly given to all Members. No business shall be transacted at any postponed meeting other than the business specified in the notice of the original meeting.

23.11

When a general meeting is postponed for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the postponed meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of a postponed meeting. All proxy forms submitted for the original general meeting shall remain valid for the postponed meeting. The Directors may postpone a general meeting which has already been postponed.

23.12

A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands, the chairperson demands a poll, or any other Member or Members collectively Present and holding at least ten per cent (10%) in par value of the Shares giving a right to attend and vote at the meeting demand a poll.

23.13

Unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn a declaration by the chairperson that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost or not carried by a particular majority, an entry to that effect in the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

23.14

The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

Exhibit B-20

23.15

Except on a poll demanded on the election of a chairperson or on a question of adjournment, a poll shall be taken as the chairperson directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

23.16

A poll demanded on the election of a chairperson or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such date, time and place as the chairperson of the general meeting directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

23.17

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairperson shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

Votes of Members

24.1

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares, on a show of hands every Member who is Present, shall have one vote and on a poll every Member Present in any such manner shall have one vote for every Share of which they are the holder.

24.2

In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

24.3

A Member in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction (whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by their committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

24.4

No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless they are registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by them in respect of Shares have been paid.

24.5

No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairperson whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

24.6

On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

Exhibit B-21

24.7

On a poll, a Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of their Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing the proxy, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which they are appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which they are appointed.

Proxies

25.1

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of their attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative. A proxy need not be a Member.

25.2

The Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited physically at the Registered Office not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting to commence at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

25.3

The chairperson may in any event at their discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has not been declared to have been duly deposited by the chairperson, shall be invalid.

25.4

The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

25.5

Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

Corporate Members

26.1

Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which they represent as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

Exhibit B-22

26.2

A corporate Member wishing to act by a duly authorised representative must identify that person to the Company by notice in writing. The authorisation may be for any period of time, and must be delivered to the Company before the commencement of the meeting at which it is first used. The Directors of the Company may require the production of any evidence which they consider necessary to determine the validity of the notice.

26.3

A corporate Member may revoke the appointment of a duly authorised representative at any time by notice to the Company; but such revocation will not affect the validity of any acts carried out by the duly authorised representative before the Directors of the Company had actual notice of the revocation.

26.4

If a clearing house (or its nominee(s)), being a corporation, is a Member, it may authorise such persons as it sees fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members provided that the authorisation shall specify the number and class of Shares in respect of which each such representative is so authorised. Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the clearing house (or its nominee(s)).

Shares that May Not be Voted

Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

Directors

28.1

There shall be a Board consisting of not less than one person (exclusive of alternate Directors) provided however that the Company may by Ordinary Resolution increase or reduce the limits in the number of Directors. There is no age limit for Directors save that they must be at least eighteen years of age.

28.2

The Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of Directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. Upon the adoption of the Articles, the existing Directors shall by resolution classify themselves as Class I, Class II or Class III Directors. The Class I Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at the Company’s first annual general meeting after the adoption of the Articles, the Class II Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at the Company’s second annual general meeting after the adoption of the Articles and the Class III Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at the Company’s third annual general meeting after the adoption of the Articles. Commencing at the Company’s first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third (3^rd) succeeding annual general meeting after their election. All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A Director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until their successor shall have been elected and qualified.

Exhibit B-23

28.3

The Directors by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining Directors present and voting at a meeting of the Directors, even if less than a quorum, shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board, subject to these Articles, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy in accordance with this Article shall be of the same Class of Director as the Director he or she replaced and the term of such appointment shall terminate in accordance with that Class of Director. Any Director so appointed shall hold office until the expiration of his or her term, until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

28.4

The Directors may, from time to time, and except as required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, adopt, institute, amend, modify or revoke the corporate governance policies or initiatives, which shall be intended to set forth the policies of the Company and the Directors on various corporate governance related matters, as the Directors shall determine by resolution from time to time.

28.5

For so long as Shares are listed on a Designated Stock Exchange, the Directors shall include at least such number of Independent Directors as Applicable Law or the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange require, subject to applicable phase-in rules of the Designated Stock Exchange rules or regulations or the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, as determined by the Board.

Powers of Directors

29.1

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

29.2

All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Directors shall determine by resolution.

29.3

The Directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any Director who has held any other salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to their surviving spouse, civil partner or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

Exhibit B-24

29.4

The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party. The Company shall not be treated as having recognised any such security interest unless it has so agreed in writing with the secured party.

Appointment and Removal of Directors

30.1

The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director or may by Ordinary Resolution remove any Director.

30.2

The Directors may appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

Vacation of Office of Director

Without prejudice to the provisions in these Articles for retirement (by rotation or otherwise), the office of a Director shall be vacated if:

(a)

the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that they resign the office of Director; or

(b)

the Director is absent (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy or an alternate Director appointed by them) from three (3) consecutive meetings of the Board without special leave of absence from the Directors, and the Directors pass a resolution that they have by reason of such absence vacated office; or

(c)

the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with their creditors generally; or

(d)

is prohibited by Applicable Law or the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law from being a director; or

(e)

the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

(f)

all of the other Directors (being not less than two (2) in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors.

Exhibit B-25

Proceedings of Directors

32.1

The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed shall be two if there are two (2) or more Directors, and shall be one if there is only one Director. A person who holds office as an alternate Director shall, if their appointor is not present, be counted in the quorum. A Director who also acts as an alternate Director shall, if their appointor is not present, count twice towards the quorum.

32.2

Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson shall have a second or casting vote. A Director who is also an alternate Director shall be entitled in the absence of their appointor to a separate vote on behalf of their appointor in addition to their own vote.

32.3

A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or any committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairperson is located at the start of the meeting.

32.4

Unless required otherwise by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, a resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of their appointor and if such alternate Director is also a Director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of their appointer and in their capacity as a Director) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

32.5

A Director or alternate Director may, or other officer of the Company on the direction of a Director or alternate Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two (2) days’ notice in writing to every Director and alternate Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the Directors all the provisions of the Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis.

32.6

The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

Exhibit B-26

32.7

The Directors may elect a chairperson of the Board and determine the period for which they are to hold office; but if no such chairperson is elected, or if at any meeting the chairperson is not present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting.

32.8

All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director, and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a Director or alternate Director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

32.9

A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the Board by a proxy appointed in writing by that Director. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

Presumption of Assent

A Director or alternate Director who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless their dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless they shall file their written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairperson or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director or alternate Director who voted in favour of such action.

Directors’ Interests

34.1

A Director or alternate Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with their office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors may determine.

34.2

A Director or alternate Director may act on their own or by, through or on behalf of their firm in a professional capacity for the Company and they or their firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if they were not a Director or alternate Director.

34.3

A Director or alternate Director may be or become a director or other officer of or otherwise interested in any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder, a contracting party or otherwise, and no such Director or alternate Director shall be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by them as a director or officer of, or from their interest in, such other company.

Exhibit B-27

34.4

No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or alternate Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director or alternate Director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director or alternate Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by or arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director or alternate Director holding office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director (or their alternate Director in their absence) shall be entitled to vote on, and be counted in the quorum in relation to, any resolution of the Directors in respect of any contract or transaction in which they are interested, provided that the relevant Director (or alternate Director) has disclosed the nature and extent of his or her interest in any such contract or transaction to the Board prior to any vote thereon.

34.5

A general notice that a Director or alternate Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which they have an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

Minutes

The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books kept for the purpose of recording all appointments of officers made by the Directors, all proceedings at meetings of the Company or the holders of any class of Shares and of the Directors, and of committees of the Directors, including the names of the Directors or alternate Directors present at each meeting.

Delegation of Directors’ Powers

36.1

The Directors may delegate any of their powers, authorities and discretions, including the power to sub-delegate, to any committee consisting of one or more Directors. They may also delegate to any managing director or any Director holding any other executive office such of their powers, authorities and discretions as they consider desirable to be exercised by that Director, provided that an alternate Director may not act as managing director and the appointment of a managing director shall be revoked forthwith if they cease to be a Director. Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such delegation may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of a committee of Directors shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

36.2

The Directors may establish any committees, local boards or agencies or appoint any person to be a manager or agent for managing the affairs of the Company and may appoint any person to be a member of such committees, local boards or agencies. Any such appointment may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such appointment may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of any such committee, local board or agency shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

Exhibit B-28

36.3

The Directors may delegate any of their powers, authorities and discretions, including the power to sub-delegate, to any committees consisting of such member or members of their body as they think fit (including, without limitation, the Audit Committee, and the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee); provided that any committee so formed shall include amongst its members at least two (2) Directors unless otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. No committee shall have the power of authority to (a) recommend to the Members an amendment of these Articles (except that a committee may, to the extent authorised in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of Shares adopted by the Directors as provided under the laws of the Cayman Islands, fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such Shares relating to Dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of the Company or the conversion into, or the exchange of such Shares for, Shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or classes of Shares); (b) adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation; (c) recommend to the Members the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets; (d) recommend to the Members a dissolution of the Company or a revocation of a dissolution; (e) recommend to the Members an amendment of the Memorandum; or (f) declare a Dividend or authorise the issuance of Shares unless the resolution establishing such committee (or the charter of such committee approved by the Directors) or the Memorandum or these Articles so provide. Any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the Directors. The Directors may also delegate to any Director holding any executive office such of their powers as they consider desirable to be exercised by him or her. Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers, and may be revoked or altered.

36.4

The Directors may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any person to be the agent of the Company on such conditions as the Directors may determine, provided that the delegation is not to the exclusion of their own powers and may be revoked by the Directors at any time.

36.5

The Directors may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any company, firm, person or body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Directors, to be the attorney or authorised signatory of the Company for such purpose and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under the Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such powers of attorney or other appointment may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorneys or authorised signatories as the Directors may think fit and may also authorise any such attorney or authorised signatory to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in them.

36.6

The Directors may adopt formal written charters for committees and, if so adopted, shall review and assess the adequacy of such formal written charters on an annual basis. Each of these committees shall be empowered to do all things necessary to exercise the rights of such committee set forth in the Articles and shall have such powers as the Directors may delegate pursuant to the Articles and as required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if established, shall consist of such number of Directors as the Directors shall from time to time determine (or such minimum number as may be required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law). For so long as any class of Shares is listed on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be made up of such number of “independent directors” as is required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law.

Exhibit B-29

36.7

The Directors may appoint such officers of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any chief executive officer, president, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, assistance secretaries, treasurer or any other officers) as they consider necessary on such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors may think fit. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of their appointment an officer of the Company may be removed by resolution of the Directors or Members. An officer of the Company may vacate their office at any time if they give notice in writing to the Company that they resign their office.

36.8

The Directors may elect, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, a chairperson. The chairperson of the Board may be a director or an officer of the Company. Subject to the provisions of these Articles and the direction of the Directors, the chairperson of the Board shall perform all duties and have all powers which are commonly incident to the position of a chairperson of a board or which are delegated to him or her by the Directors, preside at all general meetings and meetings of the Directors at which he or she is present and have such powers and perform such duties as the Directors may from time to time prescribe.

Alternate Directors

37.1

Any Director (but not an alternate Director) may by writing appoint any other Director, or any other person willing to act, to be an alternate Director and by writing may remove from office an alternate Director so appointed by them.

37.2

An alternate Director shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of Directors and of all meetings of committees of Directors of which their appointor is a member, to attend and vote at every such meeting at which the Director appointing them is not personally present, to sign any written resolution of the Directors, and generally to perform all the functions of their appointor as a Director in their absence.

37.3

An alternate Director shall cease to be an alternate Director if (a) their appointor ceases to be a Director, (b) the Director who appointed him revokes his appointment by notice delivered to the Board or to the registered office of the Company or in any other manner approved by the Board, or (c) in any event happens in relation to him which, if he were a Director of the Company, would cause his office as Director to be vacated.

Exhibit B-30

37.4

Any appointment or removal of an alternate Director shall be by notice to the Company signed by the Director making or revoking the appointment or in any other manner approved by the Directors.

37.5

Subject to the provisions of the Articles, an alternate Director shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Director and shall alone be responsible for their own acts and defaults and shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Director appointing them.

No Minimum Shareholding

The Company in general meeting may fix a minimum shareholding required to be held by a Director, but unless and until such a shareholding qualification is fixed a Director is not required to hold Shares.

Remuneration of Directors

39.1

The remuneration to be paid to the Directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine. The Directors shall also be entitled to be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Directors or committees of Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or separate meetings of the holders of any class of Shares or debentures of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company or the discharge of their duties as a Director, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Directors, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.

39.2

The Directors may by resolution approve additional remuneration to any Director for any services which in the opinion of the Directors go beyond that Director’s ordinary routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who is also counsel, attorney or solicitor to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity shall be in addition to their remuneration as a Director.

Seal

40.1

The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors authorised by the Directors. Every instrument to which the Seal has been affixed shall be signed by at least one person who shall be either a Director or some officer of the Company or other person appointed by the Directors for the purpose.

40.2

The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

40.3

A Director or officer, representative or attorney of the Company may without further authority of the Directors affix the Seal over their signature alone to any document of the Company required to be authenticated by them under seal or to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere wheresoever.

Exhibit B-31

Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

41.1

Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

41.2

The Directors may, before recommending or declaring any Dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising Dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds be properly applied and pending such application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than Shares) as the Directors may from time to time think fit. The Directors shall establish an account to be called the “Share Premium Account” and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share. Unless otherwise provided by the provisions of these Articles, the Directors may apply the share premium account in any manner permitted by the Statute and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. The Company shall at all times comply with the provisions of these Articles, the Statute and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law in relation to the share premium account.

41.3

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

41.4

The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by the Member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

41.5

The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of Shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

Exhibit B-32

41.6

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

41.7

The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

41.8

Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two (2) or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

41.9

No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

41.10

Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six (6) months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

Exhibit B-33

Untraceable Members

43.1

The Company shall be entitled to sell any Shares of a Member or the Shares to which a person is entitled by virtue of transmission on death or bankruptcy or operation of law if and provided that:

(a)

all cheques or warrants, not being less than three (3) in number, for any sums payable in cash to the holder of such Shares have remained uncashed for a period of twelve (12) years;

(b)

the Company has not during that time or before the expiry of the three (3)-month period referred to Article 41.1(d) received any indication of the whereabouts or existence of the Member or person entitled to such Shares by death, bankruptcy or operation of law;

(c)

during the twelve (12)-year period, at least three (3) Dividends in respect of the Shares in question have become payable and no Dividend during that period has been claimed by the Member; and

(d)

upon expiry of the twelve (12)-year period, the Company has caused an advertisement to be published in the newspapers or by electronic communication in the manner in which notices may be served by the Company by Electronic Means as provided in the Articles, given notice of its intention to sell such Shares, and a period of three (3) months has elapsed since such advertisement and the Designated Stock Exchange has been notified of such intention.

The net proceeds of any such sale shall belong to the Company and upon receipt by the Company of such net proceeds it shall become indebted to the former Member for an amount equal to such net proceeds.

43.2

To give effect to any sale contemplated by Article 42.1, the Company may appoint any person to execute as transferor an instrument of transfer of the said Shares and such other documents as are necessary to effect the transfer, and such documents shall be as effective as if they had been executed by the registered holder of or person entitled by transmission to such Shares and the title of the transferee shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating thereto. The net proceeds of sale shall belong to the Company which shall be obliged to account to the former Member or other person previously entitled as aforesaid for an amount equal to such proceeds and shall enter the name of such former Member or other person in the books of the Company as a creditor for such amount. No trust shall be created in respect of the debt, no interest shall be payable in respect of the same and the Company shall not be required to account for any money earned on the net proceeds, which may be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments (other than Shares or other securities in or of the Company or its holding company if any) or as the Directors may from time to time think fit.

Exhibit B-34

Books of Account

44.1

The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five (5) years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

44.2

The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

44.3

For as long as the Company is admitted to trading on a Designated Stock Exchange, the accounts relating to the Company’s affairs shall be audited subject to the requirements of Applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange. The accounting principles shall be determined by the Directors by reference to the requirements (if any) of the Designated Stock Exchange, Applicable Law, regulation or the requirements of any regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction. This Article shall not apply if the Company is no longer admitted to trading on a Designated Stock Exchange.

44.4

The Directors may cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

Audit

45.1

The Directors may appoint an Auditor of the Company who shall hold office on such terms as the Directors determine.

45.2

Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, for so long as the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are admitted to trading on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Directors shall establish and maintain an Audit Committee as a committee of the Directors, the composition and responsibilities of which shall comply with the charter of the Audit Committee, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the rules and regulations of the SEC and all other Applicable Law and regulations.

45.3

Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

Exhibit B-35

45.4

Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

Notices

46.1

Except as otherwise provided in the Articles, any notice or document may be served by the Company on any Member either personally or by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to such Member at their registered address as appearing in the Register of Members or, to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange and all Applicable Law and regulations, by Electronic Means by transmitting it to any electronic number or address supplied by the Member to the Company, or by placing it on the Company’s website provided that the Company has obtained either (a) the Member’s prior express positive confirmation in writing; or (b) the Member’s deemed consent in the manner specified in the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange to receive or otherwise have made available to such Member notices and documents to be given or issued to them by the Company by such Electronic Means, or (in the case of notice) by advertisement published in the manner prescribed in the rules and regulations of the SEC and the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange. In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that holder for the time being whose name stands first in the Register of Members and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders.

46.2

Where a notice is sent by courier, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third (3^rd) day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorised or obligated by law to close in New York City and the Cayman islands) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth (5^th) day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays in the Cayman Islands) following the day on which the notice was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.

46.3

A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

Exhibit B-36

46.4

Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

Winding Up

47.1

If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

47.2

If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

Indemnity and Insurance

48.1

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, every Director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company, and their respective personal representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

Exhibit B-37

48.2

To the extent permitted by the Statute, the Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

48.3

To the extent permitted by the Statute, the Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company, their respective personal representatives, against any risks determined by the Directors, other than liability arising out of that person’s own dishonesty.

Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

Registration by Way of Continuation

Subject to these Articles, the Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. In furtherance of a resolution adopted pursuant to this Article, the Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company.

Exhibit B-38

Mergers and Consolidations

The Company shall have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more other constituent companies (as defined in the Statute) upon such terms as the Directors may determine and (to the extent required by the Statute) with the approval of a Special Resolution.

Certain Tax Filings

52.1

Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file tax forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832 and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any director of the Company or any other Officer. The Company further ratifies and approves any such filing made by any Tax Filing Authorised Person or such other person prior to the date of these Articles.

Business Opportunities

53.1

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any Director who is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any Director who is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any Director who is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not have any duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

53.2

The Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and any Director who is not employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, about which any such Director acquires knowledge; provided that, the Company does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to any Director solely in his or her capacity as a Director or Officer, and not in any other capacity.

53.3

In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Company if it is a business opportunity the Company is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

Exhibit B-39

53.4

To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

Exclusive Forum

54.1

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the Memorandum, the Articles or otherwise related in any way to each Member’s shareholding in the Company, including but not limited to:

(a)

any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company;

(b)

any action asserting a claim of breach of any fiduciary or other duty owed by any current or former Director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Members;

(c)

any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Statute, the Memorandum or the Articles; or

(d)

any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the “Internal Affairs Doctrine” (as such concept is recognised under the laws of the United States of America).

54.2

Each Member shall be deemed to have irrevocably submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands, and each person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring Shares or any other equity security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consent to the provisions of this Article.

54.3

Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have, each Member acknowledges that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the selection of the courts of the Cayman Islands as exclusive forum and that accordingly the Company shall be entitled, without proof of special damages, to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the selection of the courts of the Cayman Islands as exclusive forum.

54.4

This Article shall not apply to any action or suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are, as a matter of the laws of the United States, the sole and exclusive forum for determination of such a claim.

The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption or purchase of any other Share.

the Company shall not be treated as a Shareholder for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void; and

(b)

a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Companies Act, save that an allotment of Shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect of Treasury Shares is permitted and Shares allotted as fully paid bonus shares in respect of Treasury Shares shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

28.

Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company on any terms and conditions determined by the Directors.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

29.

If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied or abrogated:

(a)

by, or with the approval of, the Directors without the consent of the holders of the Shares of that class if the Directors determine that the variation or abrogation is not materially adverse to the interests of those Shareholders; or

Exhibit E-10

(b)

otherwise only with the consent in writing of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class (subject to any rights or restrictions attached to those Shares). For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class.

30.

The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to every class meeting of the holders of one class of Shares, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Shareholders holding or representing by proxy at least twenty (20) per cent in par value of the issued Shares of that class and that any holder of Shares of that class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

31.

For the purposes of Articles 29 and 30, the Directors may treat all classes of Shares, or any two classes of Shares, as forming a single class if they consider that each class would be affected in the same way by the proposal or proposals under consideration. In any other case, the Directors shall treat all classes of Shares, or any two classes of Shares, as separate classes.

32.

The rights of the holders of the Shares of any class shall not, where those Shares were issued with preferred or other rights, be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking equally with those Shares or the redemption or purchase of Shares of any other class by the Company (subject to any rights or restrictions attached to those Shares).

SHARE CERTIFICATES

33.

The Shares will be issued in fully registered, book-entry form. Certificates will not be issued unless the Directors determine otherwise.

34.

If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed it may be renewed on payment of such fee, if any, and on such terms if any, as to evidence and obligations to indemnify the Company as the Board of Directors may determine.

TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

35.

No transfer of Shares shall be permitted without the consent of the Directors, which may be withheld for any or no reason but may include any transfer which in the opinion of the Directors is not or may not be consistent with any representation or warranty that the transferor of the Shares may have given to the Company, may result in Shares being held by any person in breach of the laws of any country or government authority, or may subject the Company or Shareholders to adverse tax or regulatory consequences under the laws of any country.

36.

All transfers of Shares shall be effected by an instrument of transfer in writing in any usual or common form in use in the Cayman Islands or in any other form approved by the Directors and need not be under seal.

Exhibit E-11

37.

The instrument of transfer must be executed by or on behalf of the transferor. The instrument of transfer must be accompanied by such evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer and the transferor is deemed to remain the holder until the transferee’s name is entered in the Register of Members. The instrument of transfer must be completed and signed in the exact name or names in which such Shares are registered, indicating any special capacity in which it is being signed with relevant details supplied to the Company.

38.

The Directors shall not recognise any transfer of Shares unless the instrument of transfer is deposited at the Registered Office or such other place as the Directors may reasonably require for the Shares to which it relates, together with such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

39.

The registration and transfer of Shares may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine.

40.

All instruments of transfer which are registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer which the Directors may decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the person depositing the same.

41.

In case of the death of a Shareholder, the survivors or survivor (where the deceased was a joint holder) and the executors or administrators of the deceased where the deceased was the sole or only surviving holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having title to the deceased’s interest in the Shares, but nothing in this Article shall release the estate of the deceased holder whether sole or joint from any liability in respect of any Share solely or jointly held by the deceased.

42.

Any guardian of an infant Shareholder and any curator or other legal representative of a Shareholder under legal disability and any person entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall, upon producing such evidence of title as the Directors may require, have the right either to be registered as the holder of the Share or to make such transfer thereof as the deceased or bankrupt Shareholder could have made, but the Directors shall in either case have the same right to refuse or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Shares by the infant or by the deceased or bankrupt Shareholder before the death or bankruptcy or by the Shareholder under legal disability before such disability.

43.

A person so becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall have the right to receive and may give a discharge for all Dividends and other money payable or other advantages due on or in respect of the Share, but such person shall not be entitled to receive notice of or to attend or vote at meetings of the Company, or save as aforesaid, to any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder unless and until such person shall be registered in the Register of Members as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, provided always that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered or to transfer the Share and if the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days the Directors may thereafter withhold all Dividends or other monies payable or other advantages due in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Exhibit E-12

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

44.

The Company may, in so far as the Companies Act permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of that person subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

NON RECOGNITION OF TRUST

45.

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Companies Act) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

LIEN

46.

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Shareholder (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Shareholder or the Shareholder’s estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Shareholder or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

47.

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) clear days after notice has been received or deemed to be received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

48.

To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or the purchaser’s nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall the purchaser’s title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under these Articles.

49.

The net proceeds of such sale, after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

CALL ON SHARES

50.

Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon them notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

Exhibit E-13

51.

A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

52.

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

53.

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine, but the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

54.

An amount payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

55.

The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

56.

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Shareholder willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by such Shareholder, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Shareholder paying such amount in advance.

57.

No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Shareholder paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend declared or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

58.

59.

If the notice is not complied with any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies declared payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

60.

Exhibit E-14

61.

A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by such person to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest, but such person’s liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by such person in respect of those Shares.

62.

A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the fact as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of any instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall such person’s title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

63.

The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

64.

The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase its share capital by such sum to be divided into Shares of such amounts and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe.

65.

All new Shares shall be subject to the provisions of these Articles with respect to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, and forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

66.

Subject to the Companies Act, the Company may by Special Resolution from time to time reduce its share capital in any way, and in particular, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing power, may:

(a)

cancel any paid-up share capital which is lost, or which is not represented by available assets; or

(b)

pay off any paid-up share capital which is in excess of the requirements of the Company,

and may, if and so far as is necessary, alter the Memorandum by reducing the amounts of its share capital and of its Shares accordingly.

67.

The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution alter (without reducing) its share capital by:

(a)

consolidating and dividing all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(b)

converting all or any of its paid-up Shares into stock, and reconverting that stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination;

(c)

subdividing its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value; or

(d)

cancelling any Shares which, at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution, have not been taken, or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminishing the amount of its authorised share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

Exhibit E-15

GENERAL MEETINGS

68.

The Directors may proceed to convene a general meeting whenever they think fit, including, without limitation, for the purposes of considering a liquidation of the Company, and they shall convene a general meeting on the requisition of the Shareholders holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than one-half of such of the paid-up capital of the Company as at the date of the deposit carries the right of voting at general meetings.

69.

The requisition:

(a)

must be in writing and state the objects of the meeting;

(b)

must be signed by each requisitionist and deposited at the Registered Office; and

(c)

may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

70.

If the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one (21) days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) day period.

71.

A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are convened by the Directors. A general meeting may be convened in the Cayman Islands or at such other location, as the Directors think fit.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

72.

At least five (5) clear days’ notice specifying the place, the day and the hour of any general meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting, shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned to such persons as are under these Articles or the conditions of issue of the Shares held by them entitled to receive notices from the Company. If the Directors determine that prompt Shareholder action is advisable, they may shorten the notice period for any general meeting to such period as the Directors consider reasonable.

73.

A general meeting shall, notwithstanding that it is called by shorter notice than that specified in the preceding Article, be deemed to have been duly called with regard to the length of notice if it is so agreed by all the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote thereat.

74.

In every notice calling a general meeting, there shall appear with reasonable prominence a statement that a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote either (i) is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend such meeting and vote instead of such Shareholder and that a proxy need not also be a Shareholder or (ii) has appointed a proxy who, unless such appointment is revoked, will attend such meeting and vote on behalf of such Shareholder.

75.

The accidental omission to give notice to, or the non-receipt of notice by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at any general meeting.

Exhibit E-16

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

76.

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Two Shareholders being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall be a quorum unless the Company has only one Shareholder entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Shareholder present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

77.

Save as otherwise provided for in these Articles, if within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened on the requisition of or by Shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place or to such other day and at such other time and place as the Directors may determine and if at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within fifteen (15) minutes from the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Shareholders present shall be a quorum.

78.

A person may participate at a general meeting by means of telephone, video or similar communication equipment by way of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at such meeting.

79.

The Chairperson (if any) or, if absent, the Deputy Chairperson (if any) of the Board of Directors, or, failing them, some other Director nominated by the Directors shall preside as Chairperson at every general meeting, but if at any meeting neither the Chairperson nor the Deputy Chairperson nor such other Director be present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or if neither of them be willing to act as Chairperson, the Directors present shall choose some Director present to be Chairperson or if no Directors be present, or if all the Directors present decline to take the chair, the Shareholders present shall choose some Shareholder present to be Chairperson.

80.

The Chairperson may with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise, it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

81.

The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason, upon notice in writing to Shareholders. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine.

82.

At any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is, before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, demanded by the Chairperson or any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy) and holding at least 10% in par value of the Shares giving a right to attend and vote at the meeting demand a poll.

83.

Unless a poll be so demanded, a declaration by the Chairperson that a resolution has on a show of hands been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect made in the Company’s minute book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or the proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

Exhibit E-17

84.

If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner and at such place as the Chairperson may direct (including the use of a ballot or voting papers, or tickets) and the result of a poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. The Chairperson may, in the event of a poll, appoint scrutineers and may adjourn the meeting to some place and time fixed by the Chairperson for the purpose of declaring the result of the poll.

85.

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairperson of the meeting at which the show of hands or at which the poll is taken, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

86.

A poll demanded on the election of a Chairperson and a poll demanded on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time and place as the Chairperson directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

87.

The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.

A demand for a poll may be withdrawn and no notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately.

VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS

88.

On a show of hands every holder of Shares (being an individual) who is present in person or by proxy, or if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon shall have one vote. On a poll every holder of Shares present in any such manner and entitled to vote thereon, shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Share held by them.

89.

In the case of joint holders of a Share, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the Shares.

90.

A Shareholder who has appointed special or general attorneys or a Shareholder who is subject to a disability may vote on a poll, by such Shareholder’s attorney, committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person in the nature of a committee, receiver, or curator bonis appointed by a court and such attorney, committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may on a poll vote by proxy; provided that such evidence as the Directors may require of the authority of the person claiming to vote shall, unless otherwise waived by the Directors, have been deposited at the Registered Office not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which such person claims to vote.

Exhibit E-18

91.

No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless they are registered as a Shareholder on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by them in respect of Shares have been paid.

92.

No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered, and every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairperson of the meeting, whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

93.

On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy) and a Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not, if the Shareholder votes, use all their votes or cast all the votes the Shareholder uses in the same way.

94.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of the appointor’s attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointor is a corporation, either under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney so authorised.

95.

Any person (whether a Shareholder or not) may be appointed to act as a proxy. A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion. Where a Shareholder appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

96.

The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such power or authority, must be deposited at the Registered Office, or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice of meeting or in the instrument of proxy issued by the Company, no later than the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting; provided that the Chairperson of the meeting may in the Chairperson’s discretion accept an instrument of proxy sent by fax, email or other electronic means.

97.

An instrument of proxy shall:

(a)

be in any common form or in such other form as the Directors may approve;

(b)

be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on any amendment of a resolution put to the general meeting for which it is given as the proxy thinks fit; and

(c)

subject to its terms, be valid for any adjournment of the general meeting for which it is given.

Exhibit E-19

98.

The Directors may at the expense of the Company send to the Shareholders instruments of proxy (with or without prepaid postage for their return) for use at any general meeting, either in blank or nominating in the alternative any one or more of the Directors or any other persons. If for the purpose of any meeting invitations to appoint as proxy a person or one of a number of persons specified in the invitations are issued at the expense of the Company, such invitations shall be issued to all (and not to some only) of the Shareholders entitled to be sent a notice of the meeting and to vote thereat by proxy.

99.

A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the death or insanity of the principal or the revocation of the instrument of proxy, or of the authority under which the instrument of proxy was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer shall have been received by the Company at the Registered Office before commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the instrument of proxy is used.

100.

Anything which under these Articles a Shareholder may do by proxy that Shareholder may also do by a duly appointed attorney. The provisions of these Articles relating to proxies and instruments appointing proxies apply, mutatis mutandis, to any such attorney and the instrument appointing that attorney.

101.

Any Shareholder which is a corporation or partnership may, by a resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting or meetings of the Company. The person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of such corporation or partnership as the corporation or partnership could exercise if it were a Shareholder who was an individual and such corporation or partnership shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present.

WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS

102.

A resolution in writing signed by all the Shareholders for the time being entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting shall be as valid and effective as a resolution passed at a general meeting duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of the Shareholders.

DIRECTORS

103.

Unless otherwise determined by the Company by Ordinary Resolution, the minimum number of Directors shall be one (exclusive of alternate Directors) and the maximum number of Directors shall be unlimited.

104.

A Director need not be a Shareholder but shall be entitled to receive notice of and attend all general meetings.

105.

The Company may, by Ordinary Resolution, appoint any person to be a Director and may in like manner remove any Director and may appoint another person in the Director’s stead. Without prejudice to the power of the Company by Ordinary Resolution to appoint a person to be a Director, the Board of Directors, so long as a quorum of Directors remains in office, shall have the power at any time and from time to time to appoint any person to be a Director so as to fill a casual vacancy or otherwise.

Exhibit E-20

106.

Each Director shall be entitled to such remuneration as approved by the Board of Directors and this may be in addition to such remuneration as may be payable under any other Article. Such remuneration shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. The Directors and the Secretary may also be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from meetings of the Directors or any committee of the Directors or general meetings or in connection with the business of the Company. The Directors may, in addition to such remuneration as aforesaid, grant special remuneration to any Director who, being called upon, shall perform any special or extra services to or at the request of the Company.

107.

Each Director shall have the power to nominate another Director or any other person to act as alternate Director in the Director’s place at any meeting of the Directors at which the Director is unable to be present and at the Director’s discretion to remove such alternate Director. On such appointment being made the alternate Director shall (except as regards the power to appoint an alternate Director) be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions existing with reference to the other Directors and each alternate Director, whilst acting in the place of an absent Director, shall exercise and discharge all the functions, powers and duties of the Director being represented. Any Director who is appointed as alternate Director shall be entitled at a meeting of the Directors to cast a vote on behalf of their appointor in addition to the vote to which such Director is entitled in their own capacity as a Director, and shall also be considered as two Directors for the purpose of making a quorum of Directors. Any person appointed as an alternate Director shall automatically vacate such office as an alternate Director if and when the Director by whom the alternate Director has been appointed vacates their office of Director. The remuneration of an alternate Director shall be payable out of the remuneration of the Director appointing such alternate Director and shall be agreed between them.

108.

Every instrument appointing an alternate Director shall be in such common form as the Directors may approve.

109.

The appointment and removal of an alternate Director shall take effect when lodged at the Registered Office or delivered at a meeting of the Directors.

110.

The office of a Director shall be vacated in any of the following events namely:

(a)

if the Director resigns their office by notice in writing signed by such Director and left at the Registered Office;

(b)

if the Director becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with such Director’s creditors generally;

(c)

if the Director dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind;

(d)

if the Director ceases to be a Director by virtue of, or becomes prohibited from being a Director by reason of, an order made under any provisions of any law or enactment;

(e)

if the Director is removed from office by notice addressed to such Director at their last known address and signed by all of the co-Directors (not being less than two in number); or

(f)

if the Director is removed from office by Ordinary Resolution.

Exhibit E-21

TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS

111.

A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with their office of Director on such terms as to tenure of office and otherwise as the Directors may determine.

112.

No Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by their office from contracting with the Company either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, but the nature of the Director’s interest must be declared by such Director at the meeting of the Directors at which the question of entering into the contract or arrangement is first taken into consideration, or if the Director was not at the date of that meeting interested in the proposed contract or arrangement, then at the next meeting of the Directors held after such Director becomes so interested, and in a case where the Director becomes interested in a contract or arrangement after it is made, then at the first meeting of the Directors held after such Director becomes so interested.

113.

In the absence of some other material interest than is indicated below, provided a Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company declares (whether by specific or general notice) the nature of their interest at a meeting of the Directors that Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that such Director may be interested therein and if such Director does so their vote shall be counted and such Director may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement shall come before the meeting for consideration.

114.

Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment (including fixing or varying the terms of appointment) of two or more Directors to offices or employments with the Company or any company in which the Company is interested, such proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each Director separately and in such cases each of the Directors concerned shall be entitled to vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of each resolution except that concerning the Director’s own appointment.

115.

Any Director may act independently or through the Director’s firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and the Director or the firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if the Director were not a Director, provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or the Director’s firm to act as Auditor to the Company.

116.

Any Director may continue to be or become a director, managing director, manager or other officer or shareholder of any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested, and no such Director shall be accountable for any remuneration or other benefits received by the Director as a director, managing director, manager or other officer or shareholder of any such other company. The Directors may exercise the voting power conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company or exercisable by them as directors of such other company, in such manner in all respects as they think fit (including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution appointing themselves or any of them directors, managing directors or other officers of such company, or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the directors, managing directors or other officers of such company).

POWERS OF DIRECTORS

117.

The business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors, who may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Companies Act or by these Articles required to be exercised by the Company in general meeting, subject nevertheless to any regulations of these Articles, to the Companies Act, and to such regulations being not inconsistent with the aforesaid regulations or provisions as may be prescribed by the Company in general meeting, but no regulations made by the Company in general meeting shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if such regulations had not been made. The general powers given by this Article shall not be limited or restricted by any special authority or power given to the Directors by any other Article.

Exhibit E-22

118.

The Directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney appoint any company, firm or person or any fluctuating body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Directors, to be the attorney or attorneys of the Company for such purposes and with such powers authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under these Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such appointment may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorneys as the Directors may think fit, and may also authorise any such attorney to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in such attorney. The Directors may also appoint any person to be the agent of the Company for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under these Articles) and for such period and on such conditions as they determine, including authority for the agent to delegate all or any of their powers.

119.

All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments drawn by the Company, and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as the Directors shall from time to time by resolution determine.

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

120.

The Directors may meet together for the dispatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings, as they think fit. Questions and matters arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the Chairperson shall not have a second or casting vote. A Director may, and the Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors.

121.

A Director or Directors may participate in any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors of which such Director or Directors are members, by means of telephone, video or similar communication equipment by way of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.

122.

The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors and, unless so fixed, shall be two, if there are two or more Directors, and shall be one if there is only one Director.

123.

The continuing Directors or a sole continuing Director may act notwithstanding any vacancies in their number, but if and so long as the number of Directors is reduced below the minimum number fixed by or in accordance with these Articles the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of filling up vacancies in their number, or of summoning general meetings, but not for any other purpose. If there be no Directors or Director able or willing to act, then any two Shareholders may summon a general meeting for the purpose of appointing Directors.

124.

The Directors may from time to time elect and remove a Chairperson and, if they think fit, a Deputy Chairperson and determine the period for which they respectively are to hold office. The Chairperson or, failing them, the Deputy Chairperson shall preside at all meetings of the Directors, but if there be no Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson, or if at any meeting the Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson be not present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be Chairperson of the meeting.

Exhibit E-23

125.

A meeting of the Directors for the time being at which a quorum is present shall be competent to exercise all powers and discretions for the time being exercisable by the Directors.

126.

Without prejudice to the powers conferred by these Articles, the Directors may delegate any of their powers to committees consisting of such member or members of their body as they think fit. Any committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers so delegated, conform to any regulations that may be imposed on them by the Directors. The Directors may, by power of attorney or otherwise, appoint any person to be an agent of the Company on such condition as the Directors may determine, provided that the delegation is not to the exclusion of their own powers.

127.

The meetings and proceedings of any such committee consisting of two or more Directors shall be governed by the provisions of these Articles regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Directors so far as the same are applicable and are not superseded by any regulations made by the Directors under the preceding Article.

128.

The Directors may appoint such officers as they consider necessary on such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors may think fit. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of the officer’s appointment an officer may be removed by resolution of the Directors or Shareholders.

129.

All acts done by any meeting of Directors, or of a committee of Directors or by any person acting as a Director, shall, notwithstanding it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, or had vacated office, or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed, and was qualified and had continued to be a Director and had been entitled to vote.

130.

The Directors shall cause minutes to be made of:

(a)

all appointments of officers made by the Directors;

(b)

the names of the Directors present at each meeting of the Directors and of any committee of Directors; and

(c)

all resolutions and proceedings of all meetings of the Company and of the Directors and of any committee of Directors.

Any such minutes, if purporting to be signed by the Chairperson of the meeting at which the proceedings took place, or by the Chairperson of the next succeeding meeting, shall, until the contrary be proved, be conclusive evidence of the proceedings.

WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS OF DIRECTORS

131.

A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors for the time being entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Directors (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of their appointor) shall be as valid and effective as a resolution passed at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of the Directors (or their alternates).

PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT

132.

A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless the Director’s dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless the Director shall file their written dissent from such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

Exhibit E-24

BORROWING POWERS

133.

The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and hypothecate, mortgage, charge or pledge its undertaking, property, and assets or any part thereof, and to issue debentures, debenture stock or other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

SECRETARY

134.

The Directors may appoint any person to be a Secretary who shall hold office for such term, at such remuneration and upon such conditions and with such powers as they think fit. Any Secretary so appointed by the Directors may be removed by the Directors or by the Company by Ordinary Resolution. Anything required or authorised to be done by or to the Secretary may, if the office is vacant or there is for any other reason no Secretary capable of acting, be done by or to any assistant or deputy Secretary or if there is no assistant or deputy Secretary capable of acting, by or to any officer of the Company authorised generally or specially in that behalf by the Directors, provided that any provisions of these Articles requiring or authorising a thing to be done by or to a Director and the Secretary shall not be satisfied by its being done by or to the same person acting both as Director and as, or in the place of, the Secretary.

135.

No person shall be appointed or hold office as Secretary who is:

(a)

the sole Director;

(b)

a corporation the sole director of which is the sole Director; or

(c)

the sole director of a corporation which is the sole Director.

NO MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING

136.

The Company in general meeting may fix a minimum shareholding required to be held by a Director, but unless and until such a shareholding qualification is fixed, a Director is not required to hold Shares.

THE SEAL

137.

138.

The Directors may keep for use outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

139.

Exhibit E-25

Dividends, DISTRIBUTIONS and Reserves

140.

Subject to the Companies Act, these Articles, and the special rights attaching to Shares of any class, the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, declare Dividends and distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. No Dividend or distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, or out of the Share Premium Account, or as otherwise permitted by the Companies Act.

141.

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, or as otherwise determined by the Directors, all Dividends and distributions in respect of Shares shall be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Shareholder holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend or distribution as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for dividend or distribution accordingly.

142.

The Directors may deduct and withhold from any Dividend or distribution otherwise payable to any Shareholder all sums of money (if any) then payable by the Shareholder to the Company on account of calls or otherwise or any monies which the Company is obliged by law to pay to any taxing or other authority.

143.

The Directors may declare that any Dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) of shares, debentures or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and, where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Shareholder upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Shareholders and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

144.

145.

146.

Any Dividend, distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall (unless the Directors in their sole discretion otherwise determine) be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

147.

Any Dividend or distribution which cannot be paid to a Shareholder and/or which remains unclaimed after six (6) months from the date of declaration of such Dividend or distribution may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Shareholder. Any Dividend or distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such Dividend or distribution shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

148.

No Dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

149.

A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend.

Exhibit E-26

SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

150.

The Directors shall establish an account on the books and records of the Company to be called the Share Premium Account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share.

CAPITALISATION

151.

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the Share Premium Account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Shareholders in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Shareholders had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Shareholders concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Shareholders interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Shareholders and the Company.

ACCOUNTS

152.

The Directors shall cause proper books of account to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

153.

The books of account shall be kept at the Registered Office or at such other place as the Directors think fit, and shall always be open to inspection by the Directors.

154.

The Board of Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what time and places and under what conditions or articles the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Shareholders not being Directors, and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspection of any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Board of Directors or by resolution of the Shareholders.

AUDIT

155.

The accounts relating to the Company’s affairs shall be audited in such manner as may be determined from time to time by resolution of the Shareholders or by the Board of Directors, or failing any determination as aforesaid, shall not be audited.

NOTICES

156.

Any notice or document may be served by the Company on any Shareholder:

(a)

personally;

(b)

by registered post or courier to that Shareholder’s address as appearing in the Register of Members; or

(c)

by cable, telex, facsimile, e-mail or any other electronic means should the Directors deem it appropriate.

Exhibit E-27

157.

In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders.

158.

Any Shareholder present, either personally or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have received due notice of such meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which such meeting was convened.

159.

Any summons, notice, order or other document required to be sent to or served upon the Company, or upon any officer of the Company may be sent or served by leaving the same or sending it through the post in a prepaid letter envelope or wrapper, addressed to the Company or to such officer at the Registered Office.

160.

Where a notice or other document is sent by registered post, service of that notice or other document shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting an envelope containing it, and that notice or other document shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which it was posted. Where a notice or other document is sent by courier, service of that notice or other document shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice or other document to a courier company, and that notice or other document shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays in the Cayman Islands) following the day on which it was delivered to the courier company. Where a notice or other document is sent by cable, telex or facsimile, service of that notice or other document shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending it, and that notice or other document shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice or other document is sent by email, service of that notice or other document shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the email to the email address provided by the intended recipient and that notice or other document shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the email to be acknowledged by the recipient.

161.

Any notice or document delivered or sent by post to or left at the registered address of any Shareholder in pursuance of these Articles shall notwithstanding that such Shareholder be then dead, insane, bankrupt or dissolved, and whether or not the Company has notice of such death, insanity, bankruptcy or dissolution, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Share registered in the name of such Shareholder as sole or joint holder, unless the Shareholder’s name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register of Members as the holder of the Share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under such Shareholder) in the Share.

WINDING UP AND FINAL DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

162.

The Directors may present a winding up petition on behalf of the Company without the sanction of a resolution of the Shareholders passed at a general meeting.

163.

If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit.

Exhibit E-28

164.

If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Shareholders shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Shareholders in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them. If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Shareholders in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise. This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

165.

If the Company shall be wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary, under supervision or by the Court) the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Companies Act, divide among the Shareholders in specie the whole or any part of the assets of the Company, and whether or not the assets shall consist of property of a single kind, and may for such purposes set such value as the liquidator deems fair upon any one or more class or classes of property, and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the like authority, vest any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, and the liquidation of the Company may be closed and the Company dissolved, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any Shares in respect of which there is liability.

INDEMNITY

166.

Every Director or officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company (each an Indemnified Person) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that the Director or officer may incur by their own actual fraud or wilful default. No such Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. References in this Article to actual fraud or wilful default mean a finding to such effect by a competent court in relation to the conduct of the relevant party.

167.

The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgement or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgement or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgement, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgement, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

168.

The Directors, on behalf of the Company, shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

Exhibit E-29

DISCLOSURE

169.

Any Director, officer or authorised agent of the Company shall, if lawfully required to do so under the laws of any jurisdiction to which the Company is subject or in compliance with the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s shares are listed or in accordance with any contract entered into by the Company, be entitled to release or disclose any information in their possession regarding the affairs of the Company including, without limitation, any information contained in the Register of Members.

CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

170.

The Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining the Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any Dividend the Directors may either before or on the date of declaration of such Dividend fix a date as the record date for such determination.

171.

If no record date is fixed for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders or Shareholders entitled to receive payment of a Dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such Dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting has been made in the manner provided in the preceding Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION

172.

The Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. The Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company.

MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS

173.

The Company shall have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more other constituent companies (as defined in the Companies Act) upon such terms as the Directors may determine and (to the extent required by the Companies Act) with the approval of a Special Resolution.

FINANCIAL YEAR

174.

The Directors shall determine the financial year of the Company and may change the same from time to time. Unless they determine otherwise, the financial year shall end on 31 December in each year.

AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

175.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the provisions of the Articles as regards to the matters to be dealt with by way of Ordinary Resolution, the Company may from time to time by way of Special Resolution:

(a)

change its name;

(b)

alter or add to these Articles; or

(c)

alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

(1) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(2) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(3) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (1) and (2) of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(4) Any indemnification under Sections (1) and (2) of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Sections (1) and (2). Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

(6) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(7) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL.

(8) For purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(10) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

6.4 Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of the Requisite Shareholder, threatened, against the Requisite Shareholder that would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Requisite Shareholder to perform the Requisite Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Except for transfers permitted by Section 2.1, no Party shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any such transfer without prior written consent shall be void.

9.10 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.11 Interpretation.

Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of the state of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the Transactions, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for interpretation or enforcement hereof or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the Parties irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined by such a Delaware state or federal court. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such Parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.5 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement or the transactions is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions.

The Parties agree that (a) each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each Party hereby also waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

9.14 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all Parties had signed the same document, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of executed counterparts of this Agreement transmitted by electronic transmission (including by email or in .pdf format) or facsimile as well as electronically or digitally executed counterparts (such as DocuSign) shall have the same legal effect as original signatures and shall be considered irrevocable originally executed counterparts of this Agreement.

9.15 Directors and Officers. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation or limitation on votes or actions taken by any director, officer, employee, agent, designee or other representative of the Requisite Shareholder that is a natural person, in each case, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Requisite Shareholder is executing this Agreement solely in such capacity as a record or beneficial holder of Company Shares.

9.16 Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Requisite Shareholder acknowledge that, as described in the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2021 (Registration No. 333-254062) (the “SPAC Prospectus”), SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Company and the Requisite Shareholder further acknowledge and agrees that a significant amount of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and the Requisite Shareholder hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims (as defined below), in the past, now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, any negotiation, contracts or agreements with the Company, the Requisite Shareholder or its respective representative, against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and SPAC, to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating to any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”) and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s or Requisite Shareholder’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or for intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in this Agreement. This Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

No Requisite Stockholder shall take or omit to take, or commit or agree to take or omit to take, any action inconsistent with the foregoing that would be effective prior to the Expiration Time.

4. No Redemption. Each Requisite Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, from the date hereof and until the Expiration Time, not elect to cause or demand SPAC to redeem any Subject Shares now or at any time legally or beneficially owned by such Requisite Stockholder, or otherwise submit, tender or surrender any of its Subject Shares for redemption, in each case in connection with an extension of SPAC’s expiration date or the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting.

5. Additional Agreements.

5.2 Further Actions.

9.6 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

9.9 Restrictions. Promptly following the date of this Agreement, SPAC shall advise its transfer agent in writing that each Requisite Stockholder’s Subject Securities are subject to the restrictions set forth herein and, in connection therewith, provide the transfer agent of SPAC in writing with such information as is reasonable to ensure compliance with such restrictions.

9.11 Interpretation.

(b) The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party.

9.12 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of the state of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the Transactions, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for interpretation or enforcement hereof or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the Parties irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined by such a Delaware state or federal court. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such Parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.5 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement or the Transactions is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; (ii) such Party understands and has considered the implications of the foregoing waiver; (iii) such Party makes the foregoing waiver voluntarily and (iv) such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 9.12.

9.15 Directors and Officers. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation or limitation on votes or actions taken by any director, officer, employee, agent, designee or other representative of the Requisite Stockholders or by the Requisite Stockholders that is a natural person, in each case, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of SPAC or any of its Subsidiaries. The Requisite Stockholders are executing this Agreement solely in such capacity as record or beneficial holders of SPAC Securities.

9.16 Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company and each Requisite Stockholder acknowledges that, as described in the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2021 (Registration No. 333-254062) (the “SPAC Prospectus”), SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Company and each Requisite Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that a significant amount of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and each Requisite Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims (as defined below), in the past, now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, any negotiation, contracts or agreements with the Company, each Requisite Stockholder, or its respective representative, against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and SPAC, to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating to any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”) and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s or any Requisite Stockholder’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or for intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in this Agreement. This Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “BCA”), by and among (i) Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), (ii) Namib Minerals, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), (iii) Midas SPAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of PubCo, (iv) Cayman Merger Sub Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of PubCo, and (v) Greenstone Corporation, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”). In order to facilitate the Mergers and in order to induce SPAC and the Company to enter into the BCA and to proceed with the Mergers and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Hennessy Capital Partners VI LLC (“Sponsor”) has agreed to enter into this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) with SPAC and PubCo. Terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the BCA and for the sake of clarity, this Agreement constitutes the Sponsor Letter Agreement referred to in the BCA.

Sponsor, SPAC and PubCo hereby agree as follows:

To incentivize the Permitted Financing Investors to invest in the Permitted Financing, Sponsor shall, immediately prior to (and contingent upon) the Closing, forfeit to SPAC:

1,360,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock or SPAC Class B Common Stock held by Sponsor prior to the Closing (such shares, the “Initial Founder Forfeited Shares,” and such forfeiture, the “Initial Sponsor Forfeiture”); and

up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock or SPAC Class B Common Stock held by Sponsor prior to the Closing (as defined below) (any such forfeited shares, the “Additional Founder Forfeited Shares,” and together with the Initial Founder Forfeited Shares, the “Forfeited Founder Shares” and any such forfeiture, the “Additional Sponsor Forfeiture” and together with the Initial Sponsor Forfeiture, the “Sponsor Forfeiture”) to the extent necessary to ensure that the total gross proceeds from the Permitted Financing are not less than $50,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1(b) shall require Sponsor to forfeit or transfer any securities or to make any other economic concession, other than the potential Additional Sponsor Forfeiture.

To effect the Sponsor Forfeiture, immediately prior to (and contingent upon) the Closing: (a) Sponsor shall transfer the Forfeited Founder Shares to SPAC for cancellation and in exchange for no consideration; (b) SPAC shall immediately retire and cancel all of the Forfeited Founder Shares (and shall direct SPAC’s transfer agent (or such other intermediaries as appropriate) to take any and all such actions incidental thereto); (c) Sponsor and SPAC each shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Forfeited Founder Shares to be retired and cancelled, after which the Forfeited Founder Shares shall no longer be issued or outstanding; and (d) either (i) SPAC shall issue to the Permitted Financing Investors newly issued shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock in an aggregate amount up to the total number of Forfeited Founder Shares, (ii) PubCo shall issue to the Permitted Financing Investors newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares in an aggregate amount up to the total number of Forfeited Founder Shares, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing clauses (d)(i) and (d)(ii) (for the avoidance of doubt, with the aggregate amount of shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock and PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to this Section 2(d) not to exceed the total number of Forfeited Founder Shares).

The Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders (as defined below) acknowledge and agree that the following provisions apply to the Sponsor Earnout Shares:

The Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be subject to potential forfeiture if the applicable Triggering Event (as defined below) does not occur during the period of time beginning on the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date and ending on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Sponsor Earnout Period”).

Upon the occurrence during the Sponsor Earnout Period of (i) a First Tranche Triggering Event, then the First Tranche Earnout Shares shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to potential forfeiture, and shall be treated as issued, outstanding and fully vested, so as to ensure that the Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders shall receive such Sponsor Earnout Shares, and (ii) a Second Tranche Triggering Event, then the Second Tranche Earnout Shares shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to potential forfeiture, and shall be treated as issued, outstanding and fully vested, so as to ensure that the Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders shall receive such Sponsor Earnout Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control during the Sponsor Earnout Period, the First Tranche Triggering Event and the Second Tranche Triggering Event will be deemed to be satisfied immediately prior to such Change of Control, and any unvested First Tranche Earnout Shares and Second Tranche Earnout Shares shall immediately become fully vested and no longer subject to potential forfeiture, and shall be treated as issued, outstanding and fully vested in connection with such Change of Control, so as to ensure that the Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders shall receive such Sponsor Earnout Shares, and all proceeds thereof, in connection with such Change of Control.

Any Sponsor Earnout Shares that remain unvested as of the end of the Sponsor Earnout Period shall be automatically forfeited to PubCo for cancellation and in exchange for no consideration.

Notwithstanding the transfer restrictions under the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, Sponsor and any other Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder may not transfer any Sponsor Earnout Shares, and any purported transfer of Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be void, unless and until the transferee of such Sponsor Earnout Shares executes a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3 (any such transferees, together with Sponsor, the “Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders”).

The Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders shall be entitled to vote their Sponsor Earnout Shares and receive dividends and other distributions in respect thereof prior to the vesting of such Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, that any such dividends and other distributions in respect of the Sponsor Earnout Shares that are subject to vesting pursuant to the terms herein shall be set aside by PubCo and shall only be paid to the applicable Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder upon the vesting thereof.

As used in this Section 3:

“Change of Control” means (a) a sale, lease, license or other disposition, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of the assets of PubCo and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (b) a merger, consolidation or other business combination of PubCo resulting in any person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect at any particular point in time) acquiring more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of, or economic rights (or rights convertible or exchangeable into securities) or interests in, PubCo or the surviving person outstanding immediately after such combination (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Company Earnout Shares that may be issued in connection with such transaction(s) pursuant to Section 2.11 of the BCA); or (c) any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect at any particular point in time) (i) obtaining direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect at any particular point in time) of securities (or rights convertible or exchangeable into securities) representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of, or economic rights or interests in, PubCo or (ii) otherwise acquiring, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of PubCo, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise.

ii.

“First Tranche Triggering Event” shall mean, with respect to 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares held by each Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder (the “First Tranche Earnout Shares”), the first date during the Sponsor Earnout Period on which the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares as reported on Nasdaq (or the exchange on which PubCo Ordinary Shares are then listed) is greater than $12.50 for any twenty (20) trading days within a consecutive thirty-(30)-trading day period (the “First Share Price Threshold”). The closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares for purposes of the First Share Price Threshold shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into PubCo Ordinary Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares.

iii.

“Second Tranche Triggering Event” shall mean, with respect to all remaining Sponsor Earnout Shares (the “Second Tranche Earnout Shares”), the first date during the Sponsor Earnout Period on which the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares as reported on Nasdaq (or the exchange on which PubCo Ordinary Shares are then listed) is greater than $15.00 for any twenty (20) trading days within a consecutive thirty-(30)-trading day period (the “Second Share Price Threshold”). The closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares for purposes of the Second Share Price Thresholds shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into PubCo Ordinary Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares.

iv.

“Sponsor Earnout Shares” means, with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued by PubCo in respect of the shares of SPAC Common Stock held by Sponsor as of immediately prior to the Closing, a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that is equal to (i) 2,000,000 minus (ii) the number of Additional Founder Forfeited Shares.

Prior to the Closing, Sponsor shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate, or otherwise grant any interest in or to, the Forfeited Founder Shares other than pursuant to the Sponsor Forfeiture. Sponsor hereby authorizes SPAC during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement to cause its transfer agent for the Forfeited Founder Shares to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and/or legends on the stock certificate(s) or book entries relating to the Forfeited Founder Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the Closing, there is a SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap Excess, Sponsor shall in connection with the payment of the SPAC Transaction Expenses in accordance with the BCA, on the Closing Date, forfeit to SPAC a number of shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock or SPAC Class B Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the amount of the SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap Excess divided by (y) $10.00 (the “Expense Cap Excess Forfeited Shares”). To effect the forfeiture of the Expense Cap Excess Forfeited Shares, Sponsor and SPAC shall take the actions set forth in Section 2(a), (b) and (c) as if the Expense Cap Excess Forfeited Shares were Forfeited Founder Shares.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 of the BCA, effective immediately prior to the Closing, Sponsor hereby waives, in accordance with Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the SPAC Charter, any and all rights that any holder of shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock has or will have under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the SPAC Charter to receive, with respect to each share of SPAC Class B Common Stock, more than one (1) share of SPAC Class A Common Stock upon the automatic conversion of such share of SPAC Class B Common Stock in accordance with the SPAC Charter in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. Sponsor hereby represents and warrants that the foregoing waiver is binding on all holders of shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock and their successors and assigns. Without limitation of the foregoing, Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the BCA, upon the consummation of the Transactions, each share of SPAC Class B Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share. For the avoidance of doubt, if either this Agreement or the BCA is terminated, then this Section 6 shall be deemed null and void ab initio.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that a Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder may transfer Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with Section 3. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other State. Each party hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and each of the parties hereto further waives any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State or federal courts of the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the Transactions, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for interpretation or enforcement hereof or that such action suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined by such a Delaware State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to and grants any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with such action, suits or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement or the Transactions is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party hereto has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; (ii) such party understands and has considered the implications of the foregoing waiver; (iii) such party makes the foregoing waiver voluntarily and (iv) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 9.

10.

Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by courier or by electronic mail to the intended recipient thereof at its courier delivery or email address as set forth adjacent to each undersigned’s signature below (or to such other courier delivery or email address as a party may from time to time notify the other parties hereto by giving notice in accordance with this Section 10).

11.

This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived except by a written instrument executed by SPAC, PubCo and the Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders who hold at least a majority of the Sponsor Earnout Shares at the time in question. Compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties granting such waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder, in a manner that is materially different from the other Sponsor Earnout Shares Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Sponsor Earnout Shares Holder so affected.

12.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, as described in the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2021 (Registration No. 333-254062) (the “SPAC Prospectus”), SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Each of Sponsor and the Company hereto further acknowledges and agrees that a significant amount of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. Accordingly, each of Sponsor and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims (as defined below), in the past, now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, any negotiation, contracts or agreements with the Company, each of the parties hereto, or its respective representative, against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and SPAC, to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating to any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”) and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit Sponsor’s or the Company’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or for intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in this Agreement. This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

13.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including executed manually or electronically via DocuSign or other means, and delivered in portable document format (pdf) or in other electronic form by electronic service or by any other means) in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed (and shall have the same legal effect as) an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

14.

This Agreement shall immediately terminate, without any further action by the parties hereto, at such time, if any, that the BCA is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Exhibit 99.1

NAMIB MINERALS, AN ESTABLISHED AFRICAN GOLD PRODUCER, TO BECOME
PUBLICLY TRADED THROUGH BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH HENNESSY
CAPITAL INVESTMENT CORP. VI

●

Namib Minerals is an established African gold producer with an attractive portfolio of mines in Zimbabwe supported by high-grade, low-cost production, extensive infrastructure and pro-mining government policy.

●

Namib Minerals owns and operates the producing How mine and plans to restart two historically producing gold mines, Mazowe and Redwing, and to expand Namib Minerals’ aggregate gold mining capacity.

●

The proposed transaction values Namib Minerals at a pre-money enterprise value of $500 million with up to an additional 30 million of contingent ordinary shares tied to the completion of operational milestones.

●

Transaction proceeds will support Namib Minerals’ growth plan to create a multi-asset and multi-jurisdiction platform through gold mine restarts and the development of its prospective battery metals assets in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”).

NEW YORK – June 18, 2024 – Namib Minerals (“Namib” or the “Company”), an established gold mining company in the sub-Saharan gold mining industry, and Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI (Nasdaq: HCVI) (“HCVI”), a Nasdaq listed special purpose acquisition company, have entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). The proposed business combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”) is expected to be completed (the “Closing”) in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and stockholder approvals. The combined public company (“PubCo”) is expected to be named “Namib Minerals” and to list its common stock and warrants to purchase common stock on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbols “NAMM” and “NAMMW”, respectively, subject to approval of its listing application.

The Proposed Business Combination consideration of approximately 50 million PubCo ordinary shares values Namib at a pre-money enterprise value of $500 million, with up to an additional 30 million PubCo ordinary shares tied to the completion of operational milestones, including the commercial production of the Mazowe and Redwing mines. The Proposed Business Combination is expected to deliver net proceeds to Namib of approximately $91 million, assuming no further redemptions by HCVI’s public stockholders, as well as approximately $60 million of additional funding from one or more financing agreements with investors expected to be executed prior to the Closing. As a result of the Proposed Business Combination, Namib expects to benefit from continued operational efficiency and cash flow generation from its producing How mine and the build-out of Namib’s multi-asset growth path. The Proposed Business Combination also represents the largest African deSPAC to date. Namib’s existing management team, led by Chief Executive Officer, Ibrahima Tall, will continue to lead the business after the Closing.

Namib’s current producing asset, the How mine, is an established, high-grade, underground gold mine located near Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The How mine is currently generating cash flow alongside a strong history of production and one of the lowest reported production cost profiles amongst its peer group. The How mine has a strong track record of consistently operating within budget and maintains additional identified underground resources, which may contribute to extending its mine life.

Namib also has an identified pathway to operate as a multi-asset producer in Africa, with growth plans underway to restart the Company’s previously producing Mazowe and Redwing gold mines, along with development potential in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to unlock battery metals in the region. To date, work has commenced across 13 granted exploration permits in the DRC and six initial holes have been drilled identifying copper and cobalt potential.

Ibrahima Tall, CEO of Namib, commented: “Today represents a significant day and an exciting milestone for Namib. This business combination with HCVI will enable us to continue growing our business while helping us to realize the full potential of our mining asset portfolio. Namib is committed to creating an environment of safe, sustainable and profitable mining operations that supports the local communities we serve. This transaction provides us a partner in HCVI that shares our focus on sustainable growth and our goal to return as a multi-asset producer in Africa. We believe our established management team is well-positioned to unlock significant value for our shareholders, and we look forward to working closely with the HCVI team to make these aspirations a reality.”

Daniel Hennessy, Chairman and CEO of HCVI, added: “We are extremely pleased to announce our business combination with Namib, an established gold-mining company in the sub-Saharan mining industry. HCVI was formed with the objectives of merging with an established and competitive company operating in the industrial or energy-transition sector. Namib stood out as a compelling partner due to its history of underground mining in precious metals, opportunities for future expansion and its mission to create safe, sustainable and profitable operations in the communities it serves. We look forward to collaborating with Ibrahima and his team of veterans in the mining industry, as Namib continues to grow and create shareholder value.”

Proposed Business Combination Overview

The Proposed Business Combination implies a pro forma combined enterprise value of PubCo $609 million, excluding additional earnout consideration, on a cash-free and debt-free basis, assuming no further redemptions of HCVI’s public shares and $60 million in targeted PIPE funding to be obtained prior to the Closing. The boards of directors of both HCVI and Namib have approved the proposed transaction, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to, among other things, the approvals by stockholders of HCVI and Namib and satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

Net proceeds from the transaction are expected to enable Namib to invest further into its established How mine, while also contributing to the restart of production at two historically producing gold mines, Mazowe and Redwing, in Zimbabwe and expansion of operations into the DRC. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Namib’s existing shareholders will convert 100% of their equity ownership stakes into the combined company and are expected to own approximately 71% of the post-combination company upon consummation of the Proposed Business Combination.

The Proposed Business Combination has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both Namib and HCVI.

Additional information about the Proposed Business Combination, including a copy of the Business Combination Agreement, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by HCVI with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available at www.sec.gov.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (i) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of HCVI’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination may not be completed by HCVI’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by HCVI; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, including the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the stockholders of HCVI and Namib, the satisfaction of the $25 million minimum cash amount following redemptions by HCVI’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (iv) market risks, including the price of gold; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Business Combination on Namib’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (vii) risks that the Proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans of Namib and potential difficulties in its employee retention as a result of the Proposed Business Combination; (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Namib or HCVI related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Proposed Business Combination; (ix) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; (x) the inability to maintain the listing of HCVI’s securities or to meet listing requirements and maintain the listing of PubCo’s securities on the Nasdaq; (xi) the risk that the price of PubCo’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Namib plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies, natural disasters or health epidemics/pandemics, national security tensions, and macro-economic and social environments affecting its business, and changes in the combined capital structure; (xii) the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Business Combination, identify and realize additional opportunities, and manage its growth and expanding operations; (xiii) the risk that Namib may not be able to successfully develop its assets, including expanding the How mine, restarting and expanding its other mines in Zimbabwe or developing its exploration permits in the DRC; (xiv) the risk that Namib will be unable to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which many not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xv) political and social risks of operating in Zimbabwe and the DRC; (xvi) the operational hazards and risks that Namib faces; and (xvii) the risk that additional financing in connection with the Proposed Business Combination may not be raised on favorable terms, in a sufficient amount to satisfy the $25 million (post-redemptions) minimum cash amount condition to the Business Combination Agreement, or at all. The foregoing list is not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither HCVI nor Namib presently know or that HCVI and Namib currently believe are immaterial. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors, any other factors discussed in this press release and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of HCVI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, the risks to be described in the registration statement on Form F-4 to be filed by PubCo with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and those discussed and identified in filings made with the SEC by HCVI and PubCo from time to time.
