  6.

The Ordinary Shares

The Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu among them and shall entitle their holders:

 

  6.1.

to receive notices of, and to attend, General Meetings where each Ordinary Share shall have one vote for all purposes;

 

  6.2.

subject to the rights and privileges of the Preferred Shares, to share equally among them, on a per share basis, Bonus Shares or Dividends as may be declared by the Board and approved by the Shareholders, if required, out of funds legally available therefor; and

 

  6.3.

subject to the rights and privileges of the Preferred Shares, upon a Realization Event – to participate in the distribution of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to Shareholders after payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company (in each case, proportionally to the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding and the amounts paid by Shareholders on account of their Shares, if not paid in full, before calls for payment were made).


  7.

The Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares confer on the holders thereof all rights accruing to holders of Ordinary Shares in the Company, and, in addition the following rights:

 

  7.1.

Liquidation and Distribution Preference.

In the event of a Realization Event, then all the assets or proceeds available for distribution to the Shareholders (excluding any escrow amount, contingent payments, or milestone or earn-out payments, or any other amount not obtained or received at closing, other than amounts placed in escrow solely in order to secure indemnification obligations for breach of representation and warranties, covenants and liabilities (collectively, the “Contingent Consideration Mechanism”)) (a “Distribution Event”) (the “Distributable Proceeds”) shall be distributed among the Shareholders according to the following order of preference:

 

  7.1.1.

The holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, from the funds legally available for distribution (in cash, cash equivalent or otherwise), on a pro rata and pari passu basis among themselves, prior and in preference to any other securities of the Company, for each Preferred Share held by them—an amount equal to the Original Issue Price less any Distributable Proceeds of any kind previously paid in preference on such Preferred Share including by way of distribution of any Dividends (collectively, the “Preferred Preference Amount”). In the event that the Distributable Proceeds shall be insufficient for the distribution of the Preferred Preference Amount in full to all of the holders of Preferred Shares for all of the Preferred Shares, all of the Distributable Proceeds shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Shares on a pro rata and pari passu basis.

 

  7.1.2.

After payment in full of the Preferred Preference Amount, the remaining Distributable Proceeds available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed pro-rata and pari passu among all the holders of Ordinary Shares (on a non-converted basis), provided however, that if a conversion of a Preferred Share into Ordinary Share immediately prior to the applicable distribution of the Distributable Proceeds to the holder of such Preferred Share pursuant to Article 7.1.1 would result in the holder of such Preferred Share receiving in respect of such converted Preferred Share a greater payment than the Preferred Preference Amount applicable to such Preferred Share, then the holder of such Preferred Share shall be entitled to participate in such distribution together with the holders of the Ordinary Shares, on a pro-rata, as converted basis, without the need to actually convert such Preferred Share (and in such event, shall not be entitled to the Preferred Preference Amount with respect to such Preferred Share).


  7.1.3.

Allocation of Contingent Payments. In the event of a Distribution Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the Shareholders is payable to the Shareholders subject to Contingent Consideration Mechanism, then the distribution of all Distributable Proceeds derived from such Distribution Event shall be as follows, and the agreement relating to the Distribution Event (e.g. a merger, share purchase or similar agreement) shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not subject to any Contingent Consideration Mechanism (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be distributed among the Shareholders in accordance with Article 7.1 as if the Initial Consideration was the only consideration payable in connection with such Distribution Event and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the Shareholders pursuant to the Contingent Consideration Mechanism shall be allocated among the Shareholders in accordance with this Article 7.1 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction in order to achieve the allocation which would have been made had such additional consideration been paid in its entirety at the closing of such Distribution Event.

 

  7.1.4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles (including Article 7.1A), the proceeds of any Realization Event or Distribution Event, shall be allocated and distributed among the Shareholders in accordance with Article 7.1, whether by Dividend or otherwise, such that at the closing of the transaction at which the Company is deemed for purposes of this Article 7.1 to be wound up, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be paid in cash, securities or a combination thereof, an amount equal to the amount per share which would be payable to the holders of Preferred Shares, respectively, pursuant to Article 7.1, if all consideration being received by the Company and the holders of the Company’s shares in connection with such transaction were being distributed in a liquidation of the Company.

 

7.1A

Dividends.

The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any Dividends on shares of any other class or series of share capital unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Articles) the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding shall simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding Preferred Share, on As Converted Basis, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.

 

  7.2.

Conversion.

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

 

  7.2.1.

Right to Convert.

 

  (i)

Each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder of such share, at any time after the respective Original Issue Date of such share, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares of the Company as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such share by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable for such share at the time in effect for such share.


  (ii)

Each Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such share by the Conversion Price applicable for such share at the time in effect for such share, immediately: (a) upon the consummation of a QIPO; or (b) at the election by vote or written consent of the holders of at least 60% of the voting power of the then issued and outstanding Preferred Shares voting together as a single class (calculated on an As Converted Basis); or (c) in connection with a Financing Recapitalization Event, at the election by vote or written consent of the Preferred Shares Majority. “Financing Recapitalization Event” means any event of share combination or subdivision, share split, share dividend, bonus shares or any other reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of all (or less than all, in the context of different treatment as a result of participation (or lack thereof) in a pay-to-play or similar transaction; provided that the affected shareholders were first given the opportunity to participate in such pay-to-play or similar transaction on substantially the same terms as the unaffected shareholders) the Company’s share capital and the like which is done as part of (i) an equity financing of not less than $25,000,000; and (ii) which financing is approved by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than pursuant to Sub-Article 7.2.1(ii)(a) above, the Preferred D Shares shall not be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares without the prior written consent of a majority of the Preferred D Shareholders, provided, that with respect to a conversion pursuant to Sub-Article 7.2.1(ii)(c) or in connection with a Realization Event, such consent of the Preferred D Shareholders should be required only to the extent that the holders of the Preferred D Shares would be adversely affected as a result thereof in a manner different than the holders of the Preferred Shares (other than the Preferred D Shares), it being understood that to the extent that the holders of Preferred C Shares are also economically adversely affected as a result (with respect to the Preferred C Shares) of such a conversion, such conversion shall be deemed to result in the Preferred D Shareholders being adversely affected as a result thereof in the same manner as the holders of the Preferred Shares (other than the Preferred D Shares).

 

  7.2.2.

Mechanics of Conversion.

Before any Preferred Shareholder shall be entitled to convert any Preferred Share into Ordinary Shares, such Shareholder shall give written notice by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Company of the election to convert the same. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Shareholder a certificate or certificates for the number of


Ordinary Shares to which such Preferred Shareholder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. In the case of conversion pursuant to Article 7.2.1 (ii), such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the occurrence of any of the events listed in Article 7.2.1(ii) and subject to the actual occurrence of such event, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares as of such date; provided that the event does actually occur.

 

  (i)

The initial Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be the Original Purchase Price for each such share (subject to any adjustments under this Article 7.2.2, the “Conversion Price”). If the Company subdivides or combines its Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, in case of subdivision of shares, as at the effective date of such subdivision, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of shares, as the effective date of such combination.

 

  (ii)

Broad Based Weighted Average Adjustment:

(A) Until an IPO, upon each issuance (or deemed issuance, as described below) by the Company of any New Securities at a price per share less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect with respect to a Preferred Share, the Conversion Price then in effect with respect to such share will be reduced to a price equal to a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding prior to the issuance of such New Securities (calculated on an As Converted Basis and on a Fully-Diluted Basis) multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price of such Preferred Share, as the case may be, in effect prior to the issuance of such New Securities plus (B) the total amount of the consideration received and/or to be received by the Company for such New Securities and (ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such New Securities (calculated on an As Converted Basis and on a Fully-Diluted Basis) plus the number of such New Securities issued (i.e., a “broad based weighted average” adjustment).

The formula can be expressed algebraically as follows:

 

LOGO

where:

P = Conversion Price of the applicable Preferred Share prior to the dilutive issuance.

P’ = New Conversion Price of the applicable Preferred Share after the dilutive issuance.


N = Total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an As Converted Basis and on a Fully-Diluted Basis) outstanding immediately prior to the dilutive issuance of New Securities.

n = Number of New Securities issued in the dilutive issuance.

C = Total amount of consideration received by the Company for the New Securities issued in the dilutive issuance.

(B) No adjustments of a Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than one Agura (NIS 0.01) per share. No adjustment of a Conversion Price shall be made if it has the effect of increasing the Conversion Price beyond the applicable Conversion Price in effect for such series of Preferred Shares immediately prior to such adjustment.

(C) The consideration for the issuance of New Securities shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received therefore after giving effect to any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof, and shall not include consideration other than cash.

(D) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares, or securities, which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than options to purchase Ordinary Shares granted to the Company’s employees, directors, consultants or officers pursuant to a share incentive plan approved by the Board, the aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares, or upon the exchange or conversion of such security, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of the issuance of such options, rights or securities, at a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided herein), received by the Company upon the issuance of such options, rights or securities plus any additional consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the term of such options, rights or securities (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for the Ordinary Shares covered thereby; provided, however, that if any options as to which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has been made pursuant to this Article 7.2 (i)(D) expire without having been exercised, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such options had not been issued (without any effect, however, on adjustments to the Conversion Price as a result of other events described in this Article 7.2).

(E) For the purpose of the calculations hereof, the consideration for any New Securities shall be taken into account at the U.S. Dollar equivalent thereof, on the day such New Securities are issued or deemed to be issued pursuant hereto.

 

  (iii)

If the Company at any time pays a dividend, with respect to its Ordinary Shares only, payable in New Securities of Ordinary Shares or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional Ordinary Shares, without any comparable payment or distribution to the holders of Preferred Shares (hereinafter referred to as “Ordinary Shares Equivalents”), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as at the date of such payment to that price determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such payment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding and those issuable with respect to Ordinary Shares


  Equivalents prior to the payment of such dividend, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Ordinary Shares Equivalents immediately after the payment of such dividend (plus, in the event that the Company paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Company issued fractional shares in connection with such dividend).

 

  (iv)

In the event the Company declares a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in this Article 7.2, then, in each such case, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive such distribution, in respect of their holdings on an as-converted basis as of the record date for such distribution.

 

  (v)

If at any time or from time to time there shall be a Recapitalization Event (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Article 7.2), provision shall be made so that the Preferred Shareholders shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares would have been entitled immediately prior to such Recapitalization Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 7.2 with respect to the rights of the Preferred Shareholders after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Article 7.2 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

  (vi)

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

 

  (vii)

Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 7.2 the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth each adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a table setting forth (A) such adjustment or readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Share.

 

  (viii)

In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (including a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall notify each holder of Preferred Shares, at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date specified therein, of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.


  (ix)

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Shares, then in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holders of such Preferred Shares the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

  (x)

The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes (other than income or capital gain taxes) that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Ordinary Shares on conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant hereto. For clarification purposes, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer of securities requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.

 

  7.3.

Voting Rights

 

  (i)

Except as specifically provided otherwise in these Articles, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Preferred D Shares, the Preferred C Shares, the Preferred B Shares, the Preferred A-1 Shares and the Preferred A Shares shall vote together as one class.

 

  (ii)

Except as specifically provided otherwise in these Articles, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Preferred Shares shall vote together with the other shares of the Company, and not as a separate class or as separate classes, in all Shareholders meetings, except as required herein or by law, with each Preferred Share having votes in such number as if then converted into Ordinary Shares on an As Converted Basis.

SHARES; PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

 

  8.

Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the unissued shares of the Company shall be at the disposal of the Board who may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of shares to such Persons, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Company may by resolution of Board determine.

 

  9.

Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the Company may issue shares having the same rights as the existing shares, or having preferred or deferred rights, or rights of redemption, or restricted rights, or any other special right in respect of dividend distributions, voting, appointment or dismissal of directors, return of share capital, distribution of Company’s property, or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time.

 

  10.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and these Articles, the Company may issue redeemable shares and redeem them.

 

  11.

Until the consummation of an IPO, each Shareholder (including his or its Permitted Transferees), (i) as long as it holds, together with its Permitted Transferees, at least three and a half percent (3.5%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an As Converted Basis and on a Fully Diluted Basis, OR (ii) (A) as long as it holds, together with its Permitted Transferees, at least two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an As Converted Basis and on a Fully Diluted Basis, AND (B) which has participated in primary investments in the Company in an aggregate amount of at least US$ 17,000,000 (the “Eligible Shareholder”), will have a preemptive right under the following terms:


  11.1.

If the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it shall give each Eligible Shareholder a written notice thereof (the “Rights Notice”) of its intention to do so, describing the New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue them. Each Eligible Shareholder shall have fourteen (14) days from delivery of the Rights Notice to agree to purchase all or any part of its Pro-Rata Share (as defined below) of such New Securities, which will enable it to maintain its shareholding percentage ownership of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Rights Notice, by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the quantity of New Securities which the Eligible Shareholder wishes to purchase. There shall not be over allotment rights.

For the purpose of this Article 11, the term “Pro Rata Share” means the ratio of the number of the Ordinary Shares held by each Eligible Shareholder as of the date of the Rights Notice, on an As Converted Basis, to the sum of the total Ordinary Shares of the Company, on an As Converted Basis, outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities.

 

  11.2.

If the Eligible Shareholders did not exercise in full their Pre-Emptive Right within the period specified in Article 11.1 above, then the Company shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days after delivery of the Rights Notice to sell the New Securities not purchased by Eligible Shareholders at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Rights Notice. If the Company has not sold such New Securities within said one hundred and twenty (120) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Eligible Shareholders in the manner provided above.

 

  11.3.

No Preemptive Right under Companies Law. The right of first offer or preemptive right under Section 290 of the Companies Law shall not apply herein and shall not be in force and effect.

 

  12.

Subject to the provisions of these Articles (including, without limitation, Article 11), the Company may issue from time to time options, warrants, other rights to subscribe for instruments convertible into, or exchangeable for shares of the Company, the terms and conditions of which shall be determined by the Board in accordance with these Articles.

 

  13.

The Company shall not be bound to recognize any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any other right whatsoever in any share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

  14.

If two or more Persons are registered as joint holders of a share:

 

  14.1.

They shall be jointly and severally liable for any calls or any other liability with respect to such share. However, with respect to voting, powers of attorney and furnishing of notices, the one registered first in the Register shall be deemed to be the sole owner of the share unless all the registered joint holders notify the Company in writing to treat another one of them as the sole owner of the share.

 

  14.2.

Each one of them shall be permitted to give receipts binding all the joint holders for Dividends or other moneys or property received from the Company in connection with the share and the Company shall be permitted to pay all the dividend or other moneys or property due with respect to the share to one or more of the joint holders, as it shall choose.


  15.

Share certificates shall bear the signatures of one (1) director, or of any other person or persons authorized thereto by the Board. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to one numbered certificate for all the shares of any series registered in his or its name, and if the Board so approves, to several certificates, each for one or more of such shares. Each certificate shall specify the serial numbers of the shares represented thereby. A share certificate registered in the names of two or more persons shall be delivered to the person first named in the Register. If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced, upon payment of such fee, and upon the furnishing of such evidence of ownership and such indemnity, as the Board may deem fit.

LIEN

 

  16.

The Company shall have a lien and first pledge on every share that was not paid up in full, in respect of money due to the Company on calls for payment or payable at fixed times, whether or not presently payable, or the fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments to which the Company is entitled in respect of the share. The lien on a share shall also apply to Dividends and other distributions payable on it. The Board may exempt any share, in full or in part, temporarily or permanently, from the provisions of this Article 16.

 

  17.

The Company may sell any share on which it has a lien in any manner the Board sees fit, but such share shall not be sold before the date of payment of the amount in respect of which the lien exists, or the date of fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments in consideration of which the lien exists, has arrived, and until fourteen (14) days have passed after written notice has been given to the registered holder at that time of the share, or to whoever is entitled to it upon the registered owner’s death or bankruptcy, demanding payment of the amount against which the lien exists, or the fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments in consideration of which the lien exists, and such payment or fulfillment and performance have not been made.

 

  18.

The net proceeds of the sale shall be applied in payment of the amount due to the Company or the fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments as aforesaid in the preceding Article 17, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to whoever is entitled to the share on the day of the sale, subject to a lien on amounts the date of payment of which has not yet arrived, similar to the lien on the share before its sale.

 

  19.

After the execution of a sale of pledged shares as aforesaid, the Board shall be permitted to sign or to appoint someone to sign a deed of transfer of the sold shares and to register the purchaser’s name in the Register as the owner of the shares so sold, and it shall not be the obligation of the buyer to supervise the application of the purchase price nor will his right in the shares be affected by any fault or error in the procedure of sale. The sole remedy of one who has been aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

CALLS FOR PAYMENT

 

  20.

With respect to shares not fully paid for according to their terms of issuance, a Shareholder, whether he is the sole holder of shares or holds the shares together with another Person, shall not be entitled to receive Dividends nor to any other right a Shareholder has unless he has paid all the calls by the Company which shall have been made from time to time.

 

  21.

The Board may make calls for payment from Shareholders of the amount not yet paid up on their shares as the Board shall see fit, provided that the Company gives the Shareholders prior notice of at least fourteen (14) days on every call and that the date for payment set forth in such notice be not less than one month after the last call for payment. Each Shareholder shall pay the amount called to the Company on the date and at the place prescribed in the Company’s notice.


  22.

The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay the calls for payment on such share in full.

 

  23.

If the amount called is not paid by the prescribed date, the Person from whom it is due shall be liable to pay such index linkage differentials and interest as the Board shall determine, from the date on which payment was prescribed until the day on which it is paid, but the Board may forego the payment of such linkage differentials or interest, in whole or in part.

 

  24.

Any amount that, according to the conditions of issuance of a share, must be paid at the time of issuance or at a fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the share or premium, shall be deemed for the purposes of these Articles to be a call for payment that was duly made. In the event of non-payment of such amount all the provisions of these Articles shall apply in respect of such amount as if a proper call for its payment has been made and an appropriate notice thereof given.

 

  25.

At the time of issuance of shares the Board may make arrangements that differentiate between Shareholders, in respect of the amounts of calls for payment, their dates of payment or the rate of interest.

 

  26.

The Board may, if it thinks fit, accept from any Shareholder for his shares any amount of money the payment of which has not yet been called and paid, and to pay him (i) interest for that advance until the day on which payment of that amount would have been due had he not paid it in advance, at a rate agreed between the Company and such Shareholder, and (ii) any Dividends that may be paid for that part of the shares for which the Shareholder has paid in advance.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

  27.

If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or installment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or installment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or installment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses that were incurred as a result of such non-payment.

 

  28.

The notice shall specify a date not less than seven (7) days from the date of the notice, on or before which the payment of the call or installment or part thereof is to be made together with interest and any expenses incurred as a result of such non-payment. The notice shall also state the place where the payment is to be made and that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the share in respect of which the call was made will be liable to forfeiture.

 

  29.

If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. The forfeiture shall apply to those Dividends that were declared but not yet distributed with respect to the forfeited shares.


  30.

A share so forfeited shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and can be sold or otherwise disposed of, on such terms and in such manner as the Board thinks fit. At any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be canceled on such terms as the Board thinks fit.

 

  31.

A Person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall notwithstanding remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which, at the date of forfeiture, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the nominal amount of the shares.

 

  32.

The forfeiture of a share shall cause, at the time of forfeiture, the cancellation of all rights in the Company and of any claim or demand against the Company with respect to that share, and of other rights and obligations between the share owner and the Company accompanying the share, except for those rights and obligations which these Articles exclude from such a cancellation or which the Law imposes upon former Shareholders.

 

  33.

The Person to whom the share is sold or disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his 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.

 

  34.

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 the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

TRANSFER OF SHARES—GENERAL

 

  35.

Any transfer or sale of the Company’s shares shall be in compliance with the provisions of Article 45 below.

 

  36.

Any transfer or sale of the Company’s shares shall be conditioned upon an undertaking in writing by the transferee to assume and be bound by all obligations of the transferor under any instrument and agreement involving the transferor and the Company and applicable to such transferred shares, signed by the transferee, which will be delivered to the Company prior to and as a condition to such transfer.

 

  37.

No transfer or sale of shares shall be registered unless the Company receives a deed of transfer or other proper instrument of transfer (in form and substance satisfactory to the Board or the corporate secretary of the Company), together with the share certificate(s) and such other evidence of title as the Board or the corporate secretary of the Company may reasonably require. Until the transferee has been registered in the Register in respect of the shares so transferred, the Company may continue to regard the transferor as the owner thereof.

 

  38.

Upon the death of a Shareholder, the Company shall recognize the custodian or administrator of the estate or executor of the will, and in the absence of such, the lawful heirs of the Shareholder, as the only holders of the right for the shares of the deceased Shareholder, after receipt of evidence to the entitlement thereto, as determined by the Board.

 

  39.

The Company may recognize the receiver or liquidator of any corporate Shareholder in liquidation or dissolution, or the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of any Shareholder, as being entitled to the shares registered in the name of such Shareholder, after receipt of evidence to the entitlement thereto, as determined by the Board.


  40.

A person acquiring a right in shares as a result of being a custodian, administrator of the estate, executor of a will or the heir of a Shareholder, or a receiver, liquidator or a trustee in a bankruptcy of a Shareholder or according to another provision of Law, is entitled, after providing evidence of his right to the satisfaction of the Board, to be registered as the Shareholder or to transfer such shares to another person, subject to the provisions of this Article 40.

 

  41.

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

 

  42.

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

 

  43.

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

FOUNDERS’ NO SALE

 

  44.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles, the Founders shall not make any Transfer of all or any of the shares of the Company held by the Founders, of any class or series, as of the date of these Articles, and any shares issued upon exercise of any options, or issuable upon exercise of any option, unless the Preferred Shares Majority have given their written consent for any such Transfer, except with respect to a Transfer by such Founder to any of his Permitted Transferees or Transfer by such Founder of up to fifteen percent (15%) of the shares held by him as of May 17, 2012 (the “Permitted Amount”), provided that any such Transfer, shall be subject to the right of first refusal set forth in Article 45 below, and further provided, that such Permitted Amount shall be in addition to Ordinary Shares sold under that certain Secondary Share Purchase Agreement, dated June 12, 2014, under that certain Secondary Share Purchase Agreement, dated January 5, 2016, under that certain Secondary Share Transfer Agreement, dated January 11, 2017, and under that certain Secondary Share Purchase Agreement, dated September 17, 2018. These limitations as set forth in this Article 44 shall expire upon an IPO or, with respect to each Founder—upon termination of his employment by the Company (otherwise than for Cause) or removal from the Board (expect if such removal is a result of the Founder voluntarily resigning from the Board, his death or “Disability” or upon termination of the Founder for “Good Reason”. “Disability” means the physical or mental


  illness or injury as a result of which Founder remains unable to perform his duties for a period of three (3) successive months. Disability and termination therefore shall occur upon the end of such 3-month period, without need for any advance notice on the part of the Company or Founder, other than any advance notice mandated according to applicable law. “Good Reason” means the occurrence, whether or not after a Realization Event, of any of the events or conditions described below: (i) a change in the Founder’s status, title, position or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) which represents a material adverse change from his status, title, position or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change; the assignment to the Founder of any duties or responsibilities which are inconsistent with his status, title, position or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change; or any removal of the Founder from any of such offices or positions (except in those cases where a change is either at the request of the Founder, in connection with a general corporate restructuring of officer responsibilities, or a result of the promotion of the Founder); (ii) the failure by the Company to provide the Founder with benefits, in the aggregate, at least equal (in terms of benefit levels) to those provided for under each employee benefit plan, program and practice in which the Founder was participating at any time prior to such failure (except in connection with a general reduction of salary and benefits to all employees); or (iii) any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement which is not cured within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice by the Company of a description of the breach. “Cause” means: (i) the Founder’s breach of trust or fiduciary duties, including but not limited to theft, embezzlement, self-dealing, or breach of the provisions of the confidentiality, proprietary and invention assignment agreement, or his obligation to not to compete pursuant to his employment agreement; (ii) any willful failure to perform or failure to perform competently any of the Founder’s fundamental functions or duties hereunder (including violation of the Company’s policies or procedures), or other breach of his employment agreement, which, if capable of cure, was not cured within seven (7) days of receipt by the Founder of written notice thereof; (iii) an event in which the Founder deliberately or gross negligently causes harm to the Company’s business affairs or reputation; (iv) conviction of, or entry of any plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Founder of any felony or other lesser crime that would require removal from his or her position at the Company (e.g., any alcohol or drug related misdemeanor); (v) willful misconduct; or (vi) any other cause justifying termination or dismissal without severance payment under applicable law.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; CO SALE

 

  45.

Without derogating from the provisions of these Articles, each Eligible Shareholder (the “ROFR Offeree”) shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any Transfer by any holder of Shares in the Company, except with respect to a Transfer by such holder to its Permitted Transferees, as follows:

 

  (a)

Any holder of Shares proposing to transfer all or any of his Shares (the “Offeror”) to a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee of such Offeror, shall first send to the Company a written notice detailing the number of Shares intended to be transferred or sold (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the other terms of the Transfer (the “Offer”) after which the Company shall deliver in a timely manner (but in any event within no more than seven (7) days) to the ROFR Offeree(s) a written notice describing the Offer. The Offeree(s) shall have a right to purchase such number of the Offered Shares as it may elect (subject to the provisions of


  Article 45(b)) by sending the Offeror a written notice (“Notice of Reply”) within a period of 15 (fifteen) days after receipt of Offerors’ notice (the “Offer Period”), and under the terms of the Offer. Each of the ROFR Offerees may accept such Offer as aforesaid in respect of all or part of the Offered Shares (collectively, the “Accepting Offerees”). If a ROFR Offeree does not respond in the abovementioned manner within the Offer Period, such ROFR Offeree shall be regarded as having given a notice of refusal to purchase the Offered Shares or any part thereof.

 

  (b)

In the event that the Accepting Offerees, in the aggregate, are in respect of all of, or more than, the Offered Shares, then the ROFR Offerees shall acquire the Offered Shares, on the terms aforementioned, in proportion to their respective holdings among themselves, (calculated on an As Converted Basis), provided that no Accepting Offeree shall be entitled or be forced to acquire under the provisions of this Article 45 more than the number of Offered Shares initially accepted by such Accepting Offeree, and upon the allocation to him/her/it of the full number of Offered Shares so accepted, such Accepting Offeree shall be disregarded in any subsequent computations and allocations hereunder. Any Offered Shares remaining after the computation of such respective entitlements shall be re-allocated among the remaining Accepting Offerees (other than those to be disregarded as aforesaid), in the same manner, until one hundred percent (100%) of the Offered Shares have been allocated as aforesaid.

In such case the Accepting Offerees shall execute an agreement for the sale and purchase of all the Offered Shares at the price and conditions specified in the Offer, and the Offeror shall transfer all the Offered Shares to the Accepting Offeree(s) within 15 days after the expiration of the Offer Period, against the payment of the price, or, if the Offer states other times for delivery and/or other payment terms, in accordance with the conditions of the Offer.

 

  (c)

In the event that the Acceptances, in the aggregate, are in respect of less than the full number of Offered Shares, then the Accepting Offerees shall not be entitled to acquire the Offered Shares, and the Offeror, at the expiration of the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period, shall be entitled to transfer all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee(s) identified in the Offer, provided, however, that in no event shall the Offeror transfer any of the Offered Shares to any transferee other than such Accepting Offerees or such proposed transferee(s) or transfer the same on terms more favorable to the buyer(s) than those stated in the Offer, and provided further that any of the Offered Shares not transferred within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, shall again be subject to the provisions of this Article 45.

 

  (d)

This Article 45 shall also apply to the sale of Shares by a receiver, liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy, administrator of an estate, executor of a will, etc.

 

  45A.

Until an IPO, unless the right of first refusal set forth in Article 45 is exercised in full by the Eligible Shareholders, and in lieu thereof, each Eligible Shareholder shall have the right, during the Offer Period, to participate in sale of Offered Shares by any Offeror and be entitled, upon written notice to the Offeror (the “Participation Notice”) within the Offer Period, to sell to the third party


  purchaser up to such number of shares of the Company owned by such Eligible Shareholder determined by multiplying the total number of Offered Shares by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of the Company held by such Eligible Shareholder (on an As Converted Basis) and the denominator of which is the aggregate shares of the Company held by all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s share capital (calculated on As Converted Basis). The Participation Notice shall indicate the number of shares that such Eligible Shareholder wishes to transfer to the third party purchaser. If such Eligible Shareholder exercises such right within the Offer Period, the number of Offered Shares that an Offeror may sell pursuant to an Offer shall be correspondingly reduced. The sale of the Offeror shall be conditioned upon the undertaking by the purchaser to purchase from the Eligible Shareholder the number of shares indicated by such Eligible Shareholder in the Participation Notice.

 

  45B.

Notwithstanding any provisions of these Article 45 and Article 45B Transfers of shares: (i) effected pursuant to the bring-along mechanism as provided under Article 46 below; (ii) to Permitted Transferees, are exempt from all restrictions on transfer specified in Article 45 and Article 45B; provided, however, that with respect to Permitted Transferee, such transfer shall be so exempted only if as a condition precedent thereto such Permitted Transferee undertake in writing towards the Company and the Shareholders to be bound by all of the undertakings and obligations hereunder; and in the case of a transfer to a wholly owned company, provided, further, that such Permitted Transferee shall remain a Permitted Transferee of the transferor at all times it holds shares in the Company.

STANDSTILL

 

  45C.

Any other provision of these Articles to the contrary notwithstanding, except in connection with a Realization Event, and unless otherwise approved by the Board at its sole and absolute discretion (the “Board Approval”), (A) any Shareholder and any Affiliate or Permitted Transferee thereof, shall not be entitled to Transfer onto its name and to its holding and ownership any Securities from the Company or any holder of such securities (e.g. any Shareholder, option holder, warrant holder etc.), if as a result of such Transfer such Shareholder shall hold, together with its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees (beneficially or of record) (i) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s share capital or the voting power represented thereby, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares of any class of shares of the Company or the voting power represented thereby; (B) each of the Company’s Shareholders shall not Transfer to another Shareholder any Affiliate or Permitted Transferee thereof, any Securities held by such shareholder, if as a result of such Transfer such Shareholder shall hold, together with its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees (beneficially or of record) (i) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s share capital or the voting power represented thereby, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares of any class of shares of the Company or the voting power represented thereby; and (C) the Company shall not issue or sell to a Shareholder or any Affiliate or Permitted Transferee thereof, any Securities of the Company, if as a result of such issuance or sale such Shareholder shall hold, together with its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees (beneficially or of record) (i) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s share capital or the voting power represented thereby, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares of any class of shares of the Company or the voting power represented thereby. Such Board Approval (if and to the extent granted) shall specify the terms and conditions pursuant to which a Shareholder may be allowed to Transfer, purchase or otherwise be issued Securities onto his name. For the avoidance of doubt, such Board Approval shall be required for any additional proposed Transfer of Securities to a Shareholder, even if such Shareholder received a Board Approval with respect to the prior Transfer.


BRING ALONG

 

  46.

Subject to Article 91.3, if prior to an IPO, (i) the Preferred Shares Majority; (ii) the Board; and (iii) the holders of at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital (on an As Converted Basis) (collectively, the “Sale Requisite Majority”) approve an M&A Event in writing, specifying that this Article 46 shall apply to such transaction (the “Sale Transaction”), then the other shareholders of the Company (such other shareholders, collectively, the “Remaining Holders”) shall be required to participate in such sale on the same terms and conditions; provided however, that:

 

  46.1.

At every meeting of the Shareholders of the Company called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the shareholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, the Remaining Holders shall vote all shares of the Company that such Remaining Holders then hold or for which such Remaining Holders otherwise then have voting power for (collectively, for the purposes of this Article 46, the “Shares”): (A) in favor of approval of the Sale Transaction and any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Sale Transaction, and (B) against any proposal for any recapitalization, merger, sale of assets or other business combination (other than the Sale Transaction) between the Company and any person or entity or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the definitive agreement(s) related to the Sale Transaction or which could result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under such agreement(s) not being fulfilled;

 

  46.2.

If the Sale Transaction is structured as (A) a merger or consolidation, each Remaining Holder shall waive any dissenting minority or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation, or (B) a sale of shares, each Remaining Holder shall agree to sell all of the Shares and rights to acquire shares of the Company held by such Remaining Holder on the terms and conditions approved by the Sale Requisite Majority; and

 

  46.3.

Each Remaining Holder shall take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of the Sale Transaction as requested by the Company or the Sale Requisite Majority and shall, if requested by the Sale Requisite Majority, execute and deliver any agreements prepared in connection with such Sale Transaction which agreements are executed by the Sale Requisite Majority, including without limitation, executing any purchase agreements, indemnity agreements, escrow agreements or related documents (in each case, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this Article 46), as such Sale Requisite Majority and the Purchaser execute that are reasonably required in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Article 46 and provided that no Shareholder shall be required to undertake or be obligated to terms and conditions which do not similarly apply to all selling Shareholders.

 

  46.4.

Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date proposed for the closing of any Sale Transaction, the Company shall give notice to each of the Shareholders setting forth in reasonable detail the name or names of the Purchaser, the terms and conditions of the Sale Transaction, including the purchase price, and the proposed closing date. In furtherance of the provisions of this Article 46, each of the Remaining Holders (i) irrevocably appoints the designee of the Sale Requisite Majority as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Agent”) (with full power of substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to effectuate any sale in accordance with the provisions of this Article 46; and (ii) grants to the Agent a proxy to vote the shares held by such Remaining Holder in favor of any Sale Transaction hereunder in compliance with the provisions of this Article 46


  46.5.

The aforesaid Sale Requisite Majority (or such approval threshold which may be required in the event that the provisions of Article 91.3 apply) is hereby determined also for the purposes of Section 341 of the Companies Law, and the procedure set forth in Section 341 of the Companies Law regarding the method by which shareholders who do not sign all related documentation shall be forced to sell their securities shall apply, mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding Section 341 of the Companies Law to the contrary: (i) the price and other terms and conditions of a Sale Transaction shall be considered to apply equally as to all Shareholders, if the application of such price and all such other terms and conditions to the respective Shares of the Company held by each Shareholder is made based upon and in accordance with the respective rights, preferences and privileges applicable to such Shares under these Articles; and (ii) any good faith bonus, retention payment, monetary incentive, management compensation and/or any similar payment or arrangement, payable or offered in connection with the Sale Transaction by either the Company or by the purchaser in the Sale Transaction to any Shareholder of the Company in his capacity as an employee or service provider of the Company and separately from any payment or distribution to which such Shareholder is entitled by virtue of his ownership of Shares in the Company, shall not be deemed contrary to the provisions of Section 341 of the Companies Law and Shareholders not receiving any such separate payment shall not be deemed, for purposes of Section 341 of the Companies Law, to be treated unequally compared to any Shareholders receiving such payment.

 

  46.6.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 46 above, the Remaining Holders shall not be required to vote or sell their shares of the Company, take any action in connection with the consummation of a Sale Transaction or execute any agreement unless:

 

  46.6.1.

any representations, warranties or covenants to be made by the Shareholders in connection with the Sale Transaction are limited to customary representations and warranties in the context of a Sale Transaction that are related to (A) corporate power and authority and consents, (B) enforceability, (C) ownership of shares and the ability to convey title to its shares free and clear of all liens and third party rights, (D) no finders’ fee (E) non contravention and no breach of any applicable law or agreement applicable to, or binding upon, such Shareholder, and (F) to the extent that the consideration in the Sale Transaction is partially in securities, standard accredited investor representations;

 

  46.6.2.

the Shareholders are not liable for the inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any other person in connection with the Sale Transaction, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any shareholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders);

 

  46.6.3.

each Shareholders’ liability for indemnification, if any, in the Sale Transaction, including for the inaccuracy of any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company in connection with the Sale Transaction, is several and not joint with any other Person (except (i) to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established or deducted from any amount (such as earn-outs) to be paid by such Purchaser, to cover breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breaches by any shareholder of any identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all shareholders, and (ii) the liability of any shareholder with respect to breaches by such shareholder of any identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all shareholders shall be solely borne by such breaching shareholder), and is pro rata in proportion to the amount of consideration paid to each Shareholder, as applicable, in connection with such Sale Transaction (in accordance with the provisions of these Articles) (except for liability of any shareholder with respect to breaches by such shareholder of any identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all shareholders, which may be solely borne by such breaching shareholder);


  46.6.4.

each holder of Preferred Shares liability for indemnification, if any, in the Sale Transaction is limited to their applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to such Shareholder, respectively, in connection with such Sale Transaction in accordance with the provisions of these Articles) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all indemnifying shareholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration actually paid to such Shareholder, as applicable, in connection with such Sale Transaction, except with respect to claims related to fraud or willful misrepresentation by such Shareholders, the liability for which need not be so limited;

 

  46.6.5.

upon the consummation of the Transaction, (i) each of ScaleVP, Sapphire, Qumra Capital, Vintage, Battery, Gemini, Insight, Spark, Geodesic, EMC, and VMware will receive the same form of consideration for their shares and if any such holder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all such holders will be given the same option, and (ii) each holder of the same series of Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive the same amount of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Shares as is received by other holders in respect of their Preferred Shares of such same series (except for such differences which arise from interest calculations accruing as of applicable issuance dates or liquidation preference as set forth herein);

 

  46.6.6.

each Shareholder (other than Shareholders who are also current or former employees of the Company) shall not be required to agree to any covenant not to compete or covenant not to solicit customers, employees or suppliers of any party to the Sale Transaction; and

 

  46.6.7.

each Shareholder shall not be required to amend, extend or terminate any contractual or other relationship between the Company and the Shareholders, among the Shareholders, or any of their respective Affiliates (with the exception of the termination of any agreement, contracts, or rights granted to any such Shareholder derived from the shareholdings of such Shareholder which may be amended, extended or terminated at the consummation of the Sale Transaction), on the one hand, and the Company or the proposed purchaser, or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand.

The provisions of this Article 46.6 may not be amended or waived with respect to EMC and VMware or ScaleVP, Sapphire, Insight, Spark, Geodesic, Qumra Capital Vintage and Battery without the prior written consent of EMC and VMware or ScaleVP, Sapphire, Insight, Spark, Geodesic, Qumra Capital, Vintage and Battery, respectively. The provisions of this Article 46.6 shall terminate and shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect upon the closing of an IPO.

 

  46.7.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Sale Transaction, the right of first refusal (ROFR), the right of co-sale and the Founder Sale Limitation provisions contained in these Articles shall not be operative as between the Company’s shareholders with respect to the sale and transfer of their shares in such Sale Transaction.

 

  46.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder will be required to comply with this Article 46, in connection with any proposed Sale Transaction of the Company (a “Proposed Sale”) unless upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, the aggregate consideration receivable under the terms of the Proposed Sale by all Shareholders will be allocated in accordance with Article 7.1.


CHANGING SHARE RIGHTS

 

  47.

Subject to the provisions of these Articles, if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the Company may change, convert, broaden, add or vary in any other manner the rights, preferences or privileges attached to such classes by a resolution of the General Meeting of the respective class of shares without the need for a separate class vote, except that an adverse change to the rights attached to a certain class of shares under these Articles which does not apply proportionately to all classes of shares who have such rights shall require the consent of the holders of the majority of the shares of such adversely affected class(es) on an As Converted Basis or by a simple majority vote thereof; provided, however, that the consent of the Majority Preferred A Shareholders, the Majority Preferred B Shareholders, the Requisite Preferred C Shareholders, or the Requisite Preferred D Shareholders, shall be required to the extent such change is to the rights of the Preferred A Shares, Preferred B Shares, Preferred C Shares, or the Preferred D Shares, as applicable.

 

  48.

Subject to the provisions of Article 91 below, the approval of any proposed change which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, or privileges of any one class of shares under these Articles shall require the affirmative vote of the Shareholders of that class, obtained at a class meeting or by written consent of all Shareholders of that class, and affirmed by the majority required for the amendment of these Articles. Subject to the provisions of the Articles, for the prevention of any doubt, it is hereby clarified that for the purpose of this Article 48 the alteration of the rights, preferences or privileges attached to any class of Shares, which results merely from the issuance of additional Shares of such class, or from the creation of new class of shares (or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Company) ranking senior to or in parity with the Shares of such class, including (without limitation) with respect to voting, Dividends or upon liquidation, shall not be deemed an alteration or change of the rights, preferences, or privileges attached to the Shares of such class. It is hereby further clarified that, the holders of shares of any class shall be entitled to participate in any class meeting or adopt any resolution required to be adopted pursuant to these Articles, whether by way of a separate General Meeting of such class or by way of written consent, and no holder of shares of a certain class shall be banned from voting or consenting by virtue of being a holder of more than one class of shares of the Company, irrespective of any conflicting interests that may exist between such different classes of shares. A shareholder shall not be required to refrain from participating in the discussion, voting and/or consenting on any shareholder resolution concerning an amendment to any class of shares held by such shareholder, due to the fact that such shareholder may benefit in one way or another from the outcome of such resolution.

MODIFICATION OF CAPITAL

 

  49.

Subject to the provisions of Article 91 below and the applicable law, the Company may, from time to time, by a resolution duly adopted according to these Articles:

 

  49.1.

consolidate and divide its share capital or a part thereof into shares of greater value than its existing shares;

 

  49.2.

cancel any shares which have not been purchased or agreed to be purchased by any Person;

 

  49.3.

by subdivision of its existing shares, or any of them, divide the whole, or any part, of its share capital into shares of lesser value than is fixed by these Articles, and in a manner so that with respect to the shares created as a result of the division it will be possible to grant to one or more shares a right of priority, preference or advantage with respect to dividend, capital, voting or otherwise over the remaining or similar share;

 

  49.4.

reduce its share capital, and any fund reserved for capital redemption, in the manner that it shall deem to be desirable under the provisions of Section 287 of the Companies Law;


  49.5.

increase its share capital, regardless of whether or not all of its shares have been issued, or whether the shares issued have been paid in full, by the creation of new shares, divided into shares in such par value, and with such preferred or deferred or other special rights (subject always to the provisions of these Articles), and subject to any conditions and restrictions with respect to Dividends, return of capital, voting or otherwise, as shall be directed by the resolution; or

 

  49.6.

convert part of its issued and paid-up shares into deferred shares.

GENERAL MEETINGS

 

  50.

A General Meeting shall be held at least once every year, at such place and time as may be prescribed by the Board but in any event not more than fifteen (15) months after the preceding General Meeting. The annual General Meetings shall be called Annual General Meetings; all other General Meetings shall be called Special General Meetings. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may, by a resolution adopted at a General Meeting, determine that it shall not be obliged to hold an annual meeting, except as may be required for the appointment of an auditor. Should such a resolution be adopted, the Company may refrain from holding an annual meeting except as necessary pursuant to Section 61 of the Companies Law.

 

  51.

The Board, whenever it thinks fit, may, and upon a demand in writing by: (i) a director; or (ii) one or more Shareholders holding (together with its/their Permitted Transferees) (on an As-Converted Basis) at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding share capital and at least one percent (1%) of the voting rights; or (iii) one or more Shareholders holding (together with its/their Permitted Transferees) at least ten percent (10%) of the voting rights in the Company—shall be entitled to convene a Special General Meeting. Any such demand shall include the objects for which the meeting should be convened, shall be signed by those making the demand (the “Petitioners”) and shall be delivered to the Office. The demand may contain a number of documents similarly worded each of which are signed by one or more of the Petitioners. If the directors do not convene a meeting, the Petitioners may convene by themselves a Special General Meeting as provided in Section 64 of the Companies Law.

 

  52.

Notices of General Meetings shall be given as follows:

 

  52.1.

A prior notice of at least seven (7) days and no more than forty-five (45) days (not including the day of delivery but including the day of the meeting) of any General Meeting shall be given with respect to the place, date and hour of the meeting and the nature of every subject on its agenda.

 

  52.2.

The notice shall be given to Shareholders entitled pursuant to these Articles to receive notices from the Company, as hereinafter provided.

 

  52.3.

Non-receipt of a notice, given as aforesaid, shall not invalidate the resolution passed or the proceedings held at the relevant Meeting.

 

  52.4.

With the consent of all the Shareholders who are entitled at such time to receive notices, the Company shall be permitted to convene Meetings and to resolve any resolution, upon shorter notice or without any notice and in such manner, generally, as shall be approved by the Shareholders.

PROCEEDINGS OF GENERAL MEETINGS

 

  53.

The General Meeting shall have the right to discuss and vote on such matters as set forth in these Articles and the Companies Law.


  54.

No matter shall be discussed at a General Meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the General Meeting starts its discussions. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the presence of the majority of the representatives of the Company’s shareholders in person or via telephone, videophone or other means of communication (enabling each of the participating representative to hear and be heard by such other representatives) or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders of the Company.

 

  55.

If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, shall stand adjourned to the same place and time seven (7) days from the date of the original meeting, or in the event that such a day is not a Business Day, then to the first Business Day thereafter, and in such adjourned meeting if no quorum is present within half an hour of the time arranged, any two Shareholders present personally or by proxy, shall be a quorum, and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the meeting was convened.

 

  56.

The Chairman of the Board or a director appointed by the Board for such purpose shall open all General Meetings and shall preside as chairman at the meeting. If there is no Chairman or he is not present within fifteen (15) minutes from the time appointed for the meeting or if he shall refuse to preside at the meeting, the shareholders present shall elect one of the directors to act as Chairman, and if only one director is present he shall act as Chairman. If no directors are present or if they all refuse to preside at the meeting the shareholders present shall elect one of the shareholders present to preside at the meeting. The Chairman shall have no special rights or privileges and no second or casting vote.

 

  57.

The provisions of these Articles relating to General Meetings shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to any General Meeting of the holders of a particular class of shares (a “Class Meeting”), provided, however, that the requisite quorum at any such Class Meeting shall be one or more members present in person or proxy and holding not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of such class.

VOTE BY SHAREHOLDERS

 

  58.

Every resolution put to the vote at a meeting shall be decided by a count of votes. Subject to the provisions of these Articles (including Article 91) below and to any provision in the Law requiring a higher majority, all resolutions shall be passed upon a simple majority vote (on an As Converted Basis).

 

  59.

Subject to the provisions of these Articles, in a count of votes, each Shareholder present at a General Meeting, personally or by proxy, shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by it (on an As-Converted Basis); provided that no Shareholder shall be permitted to vote at a General Meeting or to appoint a proxy to vote thereat unless he has paid all calls for payment and all moneys then due to the Company from him with respect to his shares.

 

  60.

If the number of votes for and against is equal the chairman of the meeting shall have no casting vote, and the resolution proposed shall be deemed rejected.

 

  61.

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


  62.

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

 

  63.

A Shareholder of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order to that effect has been made by any court having jurisdiction, may vote, whether on a show of hands or by a count of votes, only through his legal guardian or such other Person, appointed by the aforesaid court, who performs the function of a representative or guardian. Such representative, guardian, or other Person may vote by proxy.

 

  64.

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

 

  65.

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

 

  66.

A letter of appointment of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument pursuant to which the appointee is acting shall be in writing. An instrument appointing a proxy, whether for a specific meeting or otherwise, may be in the following form or in any other similar form prescribed by the Board:

“I, _______________, of ____________________, a Shareholder holding shares in _________________ hereby appoint _____________ of __________________ as my proxy to vote in my name and place at the [annual, special, adjourned—as the case may be] General Meeting of the Company to be held on _________, and at any adjournment thereof.

In witness whereof signed by me this day of ______, ____

 

                                         

Appointer’s Signature”

Such instrument or a copy thereof shall be deposited at the Office, or at such other place as the Board may direct from time to time, before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting wherein the person referred to in the instrument is appointed to vote, or presented to the chairman at the meeting in which such person shall vote that share.

 

  67.

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


  68.

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

 

  69.

Subject to the provisions of any law, a resolution in writing or a resolution by facsimile or e-mail, shall have the same validity as any resolution, carried in a General Meeting of the Company duly convened and conducted for the purpose of passing such a resolution.
