11.1
Subject to any contrary provisions of these Articles, the same rights, obligations
and restrictions shall be attached to all the Shares of the Company regardless of their
denomination or class.

provisions of these Articles relating to General Meetings of the Company shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to any General Meeting of the holders of the shares of a specific class.

The creation of additional shares of a specific class, or the issuance of additional
shares of a specific class, shall not be deemed, for purposes of Article 11.2, a modification or
abrogation of rights attached to shares of such class or of any other class.
12. Certain Rights of the Preferred Shares
12.1 Every holder of Preferred Shares shall have one vote for each Ordinary Share into
which the Preferred Shares held by him of record could be converted (as provided in this Article
12), on every resolution, without regard to whether the vote thereon is conducted by a show of
hands, by written ballot or by any other means. The holders of Preferred Shares shall vote
separately on all matters that by law or under these Articles are subject to a class vote.
12.2 Each Preferred Share shall be convertible into Ordinary Shares at the option of the
holder thereof, at any time after the date on which such Preferred Share was issued by the
Company, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is determined
by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined in this Article 1242),
subject to proportional adjustment for share splits, dividends or recapitalizations or a similar
event and any anti-dilution adjustments.
12.3 Each Preferred Share shall be converted automatically into Ordinary Shares in the
event that (a) solely with respect to Preferred A Share, the Investor consents to such a conversion
of the Preferred A Share into Ordinary Shares; or (b) upon the closing of a QIPO; or (c) solely
with respect to Preferred A-1 Share, the holders of at least a majority of the issued and
outstanding Preferred A-1 Shares elect to convert their Preferred A=
I Shares into Ordinary
Shares. Notwithstanding from the aforementioned, the conversion of the Preferred Shares into
Ordinary Shares shall not result in termination of the preemptive rights or right of first refusal.
12.4 Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled (in the case of voluntary
conversion) to convert the same into Ordinary Shares, he shall surrender the certificate or
certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company, and shall give a written notice
by mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to
convert the same. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the
close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares
to be converted, and the holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such
Ordinary Shares as of such date. If the conversion is pursuant to an automatic conversion, in
accordance with the provisions of Article 12.3 above, then the conversion shall take place
automatically regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been
surrendered to the Company. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the conversion and
6
45779-3443429v4
EFTA00583659
gxec-utien-cepy
surrender of the certificate for the Preferred Shares converted, issue and deliver at such office to
such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder
shall be entitled as aforesaid.
12.5 The initial Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be the Original Issue Price
for each such share (subject to any adjustments under this Article 12.5, the "Conversion Price")
and initially, the conversion rate of the Preferred Shares shall be 1:1.
Until a QIPO, with respect to the issuance of New Securities (as defined below), in the event that
the Company issues New Securities at a price per share lower than the then applicable
Conversion Price of any Preferred Shares ("Reduced Price" and a "Dilutive Event",
respectively), then:
(i)
If the Dilutive Event occurs at or prior to the lapse of 36 months as
of the Series A Closing, the then applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced on a full ratchet
basis to be equal to the Reduced Price; OR,
(ii)
If the Dilutive Event occurs at any time following 36 months as of
the Series A Closing, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, to a new Conversion Price
determined by the following formula, based on a narrow-based weighted average anti-dilution
protection, as follows:
(Ax F) +
x
CP —
A + C
where:
CP
is the applicable adjusted Conversion Price;
A
is the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, on an
as converted basis (i.e. not on a fully diluted basis), outstanding immediately prior to the
relevant issuance of the New Securities;
P'
is the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance;
C
is the number of New Securities; and
P"
is the Reduced Price of such issuance.
a. No adjustments of a Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less
than one cent ($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 Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.
b. The consideration for the issuance of New Securities shall be deemed
to be the amount of cash received therefor 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. In the case of the
issuance of New Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the price per
share shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined by the Board.
c. 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, to the extent such securities are deemed as "New Securities", 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 in
this Article 12.5), 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 12.5 expire without
having been exercised (or their terms are being changed in a manner which should affect the
Conversion Price), then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such options had not been
issued, or as if they had been issued in accordance with their new terms, as the case may be
(without any effect, however, on adjustments to the Conversion Price as a result of other events
described in this Article).
d. For the purpose of this Article 12.5 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.
(iii)
"New Securities" shall mean any shares issued, or deemed to
have been issued pursuant to Sub-Article 12.5, by the Company other than:
a. Shares issuable upon conversion of any of the Preferred Shares,
b. Shares issuable as a dividend or distribution on the Preferred Shares
or the Ordinary Shares, as applicable;
c. Shares issuable upon exercise of options or warrants outstanding at
the Series A Closing;
d. Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the closing of a QIPO;
e. Ordinary Shares issued upon a stock split, stock dividend, or any
subdivision of shares, recapitalization event or as dividend or bonus shares;
f. Ordinary Shares issued or reserved for issuance upon exercise of
options under the Option Pool, granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the
Company.
(iv) If the Company at any time pays a dividend, with respect to its Ordinary
Shares only, payable in additional shares of Ordinary Shares or other securities or rights
convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares
of Ordinary Shares, without any comparable payment or distribution to the holders of Preferred
Shares, then the Conversion Price of each Preferred Shares shall be adjusted as at the date of
such payment to that price determined by multiplying the 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 prior to the payment of such dividend, and the denominator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding 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).
12.6 If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Ordinary
Shares (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for
elsewhere in these Articles), provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Shares
8
45779-3443429v4
EFTA00583661
Exeeutien-Cepy
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. In any such case, appropriate adjustments shall be
made in the application of the provisions of this Article 12.5 with respect to the rights of the
holders of the Preferred Shares after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this
Article 12.5 (including adjustments 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.
12.7 The Company will not, by amendment of these Articles or through any
reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder in this Article 12 by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Article 12 and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares against impairment.
12.8 No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and the
number of shares of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
12.9 Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price
pursuant to this Article 12, 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.
12.10 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 mail to each holder of Preferred Shares, at least twenty (20) days
prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right.
12.11 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 issued and 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, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the
holders of such Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Share capital
to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
12.12 Unless specifically set forth herein to the contrary, all rights and privileges of the
Preferred Shares shall be on an as-converted basis.
12.1212.13
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20(c) of the Companies Law,
except as otherwise specifically set forth in these Articles, the rights, powers and privileges of all
9
45779-3443429v4
EFTA00583662

Preferred Shares shall be identical: (i) such shares will be deemed to be one class, except that
and-(ii--a separate class vote of the applicable class of Preferred Shares shall-net be required in
order to amend or waive the rights, preferences, privileges and/or restrictions granted to and
imposed upon such class of Preferred Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred A- I
Shares have been classified as Preferred A- I Shares for convenience purposes only and the
Preferred A-1 Shares shall constitute a part of the class of Preferred Shares for all intents and
purpose (except that the Original Issue Price and Conversion Price thereof shall differ). The
Preferred A Shares and Preferred A-1 Shares shall, unless specifically set forth in these Articles
have all of the same rights and privileges and shall vote together as one class on all matters that
may require the approval of a class of Shareholders of the Company. including, without

"Distributable Proceeds") shall be distributed to them in the following order and preference:

pari-passu among the holders of the Preferred Shares, prior and in preference to any distribution
of any of the Distributable Proceeds to all other equity securities of the Company for each of its
Preferred Share, a per-share amount equal to: (i) 100% of the Series A PPS; plus (ii) 8% annual
interest on that amount, compounded annually, from the date of its actual investment; plus (iii)
any declared but unpaid dividends and less the amount of distributions actually received in any
prior distribution event with respect to such Preferred Share (together, the "Preferred A
Amount"). If upon any such Deemed Liquidation, the Distributable Proceeds available for
distribution to its Shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of each of the Preferred
Shares the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 13.1, the holders of
Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in
proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares
held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares
were paid in full.
13.2. Second, following the payment in full of the Preferred A Amount, the remaining
Distributable Proceeds available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed pro rata among all
the Shareholders (including the holders of Preferred Shares), on an as converted basis.
13.3. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other winding up of the
Company, which is not a Deemed Liquidation ("Liquidation"), the then applicable
Distributable Proceeds shall be distributed in accordance with the distribution preference rights
specified in Articles 13.1134 13.2.

legal proceedings, shall be added to, and shall constitute a part of the amount payable to the
Company in respect of such call for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon).

cause the delivery of a notice thereof to the Shareholder in question. Same notice shall specify
that, in the event of failure to pay the entire amount due within the period stipulated in the

facto, the forfeiture of the Shares. Prior to the expiration of such period, by a resolution of the
Board of Directors the Company may extend the period specified in the notice of forfeiture or

power of the Board of Directors to adopt a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-
payment of said amount.

declared in respect thereof and not actually paid shall be deemed to have been forfeited together

payment, whether the maturity date of same amounts is on or prior to the date of forfeiture or
surrender or at any time thereafter, and the Company, with the sanction of the Board of

event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by a resolution of the Board of Directors,
may accelerate the maturity date(s) of any or all amounts then owed to the Company by same
Shareholder and not yet due, however arising, whereupon all of such amounts shall forthwith
become due and payable.
The Company, with the sanction of the Board of Directors may, at any time before any Share so
forfeited or surrendered shall have been reissued or otherwise disposed of to a third party,
nullify the forfeiture or the acceptance of the surrender on such conditions as the Board of
Directors thinks fit, but such nullification shall not stop nor derogate from the power of the
Company to re-exercise its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 19.

the Company may appoint any person to execute an adequate instrument of transfer or any other
instrument required to effect the sale, and shall be entitled to register the purchaser on the
Register of Shareholders as the holder of the Shares so purchased. The purchaser shall not be
obliged to check the regularity of the proceedings of forfeiture, surrender or enforcement of a
lien or the use that was made with the consideration thereby paid with respect to the Shares. As
of the entry of the purchaser's name in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such Shares,
the validity of the sale shall not be rebuttable, and the sole remedy of any person aggrieved by
the sale shall be in damages and against the Company solely.

15
45779-3443429v4
EFTA00583668
Exeeutien-Cepy
Shares, instruct the appropriate inscription of the transfer of Shares in the Company's Register
of Shareholders. A transfer of title to Shares, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, shall
not confer upon the transferee any rights whatsoever towards the Company unless and until
such time as the transfer has been approved by the Board of Directors (which shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent), as provided for herein.
No transfer of Shares shall be registered unless: (i) a proper instrument of transfer (in form
and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors) has been submitted to the Company,
together with the share certificate(s) and such other evidence of title as the Board of Directors
may reasonably require; and (ii) the transferee has undertaken in writing and in advance to be
bound by the obligations of the transferor to the Company and by its obligations to the other
Shareholders pertaining to the Company, to the extent and under the conditions under which
such obligations are assignable according to their respective terms and (iii) the transferee is not
a competitor of the Company. Until the transferee has been registered in the Share Register in
respect of the shares so transferred, the Company may continue to regard the transferor as the
owner thereof. The Board of Directors, may, from time to time, prescribe a reasonable fee for
the registration of a transfer.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 23 and of any applicable law, the accidental failure to
make the inscription in the Company's Register of Shareholders shall not invalidate the
effectiveness of such transfer, provided that all other terms and conditions provided therefor
under these Articles were complied with. No member of the Board nor any employee or Person
acting on behalf of the Company shall be held in any way liable for such omission.
24.
Limitation on Voluntary Transfer of Shares
24.1
Any purported transaction in the Shares of the Company in violation of the
provisions of this Article 24 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not recognize or give
any effect thereto. Following the Company's QIPO, the restrictions on transfer of Shares as set
forth under this Article 24 shall cease to apply. The provisions of this Article 24 shall not
restrict the transfer of Shares by any Shareholder to its Permitted Transferees or any transfer
pursuant to which Company's own Shares are purchased from any of the Shareholders by the
Company itself or by any Person designated by the Company and approved by any of the
Preferred A Directors.
24.2
First Refusal Right.

encumbrances, except as shall be specified in the Offer, against payment by the respective
accepting Offerees of the consideration specified in the Offer, and for any part of such
consideration that is other than cash, the fair market value thereof. The Offeror and such
Offerees shall each have all the remedies available for breach of contract in connection with
the transaction set forth in this Article. In case that the Offeror and any such Offeree are in
dispute over the fair market value of any non-cash consideration for the Offered Shares, such
dispute shall be ultimately resolved by an independent appraiser to be elected by the Offeror
and the majority in interest of the Eligible Shareholders, and the Closing shall be
consummated no later than the tenth (10th) day following the date upon which such fair market
value shall be determined by such independent appraiser.
In the event that according to the Acceptance Notices, the Offer is
accepted with respect to a greater number than the number of the Offered Shares, then the
Offered Shares shall be sold to such Accepting Shareholders on a pro rata basis according to
their respective holdings in the Company's outstanding share capital, on an as converted basis.
In no event shall any Eligible Shareholder be required to purchase from the Offeror a portion
of shares greater than the portion set under its Acceptance Notice.
g)
In the event that by the end of the Acceptance Period the Offeror shall
not have received Acceptance Notices with respect to all of the Offered Shares, the Offer shall
be conclusively deemed rejected by all Offerees, and the Offeror shall be free to sell the
Offered Shares, in whole but not in part, to the Proposed Purchaser under the terms specified
in the Offer, provided that the sale shall be consummated within ninety (90) days thereafter.
