Technology Holdings (or any transferee, assignee or successor thereof) hereby agrees to not Transfer any Shares except to a transferee that shall have executed a joinder in the form attached hereto asExhibit B, pursuant to which such transferee becomes a party to this Agreement and for all purposes of this Agreement is deemed to have executed a counterpart signature page of this Agreement and be subject to, benefit from and bound by all the provisions hereof.

With respect to each Shareholder, “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean the number of Equity Securities that is the product of (i) the aggregate number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued in the Triggering Issuance and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Class Shares owned by or that would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preference Shares and/or Series B Preference Shares, as the case may be, owed by such Shareholder, immediately prior to Triggering Issuance, and the denominator of which is the sum of the Ordinary Class Shares owned by or that

would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preference Shares and/or Series B Preference Shares, as the case may be, owed by all Shareholders, immediately prior to the Triggering Issuance.

Notwithstanding the above, a Triggering Issuance shall not include, and the preemptive rights provided in Section 7.1 shall not apply to the following issuances of Equity Securities: (i) any Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B Ordinary Shares, or any other Shares issued upon conversion of any such Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B Ordinary Shares, Series A Preference Shares or Series B Preference Shares; (ii) any securities issued in connection with any Share split, Share dividend or other similar event in which all Shareholders of the same class are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis; (iii) any securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security in issue or outstanding as of the date hereof; (iv) any securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another Person by the Company by consolidation, amalgamation, merger, purchase of assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, assets of such other Person or 50% or more of the voting power of such other Person or 50% or more of the equity ownership of such other Person; (v) up to 32,530,970) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) Shares (or options to purchase Shares) (including any of such Ordinary Class Shares or options which are repurchased) issued to officers, directors, employees and/or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries under any share purchase or share option plan or agreement or other incentive compensation arrangement; (v) any Shares issued in connection with any capital reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or (vi) any Shares issues under Section 2.

In the event that the Company proposes to undertake a Triggering Issuance, it shall provide the Shareholders fifteen Business Days notice setting forth in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of the Triggering Issuance. Each Shareholder wishing to participate in the Triggering Issuance shall notify the Company in writing at least five Business Days after delivery of such notice of its irrevocable undertaking to participate in the Triggering Issuance and the Company shall allow such Shareholder to participate in the Triggering Issuance up to its Pro Rata Portion on the same terms and conditions offered to Technology Holdings.

7.3Technology Holdings Preemptive Rights. Technology Holdings, on behalf if itself and each of its transferees of Shares, hereby agrees that the rights granted to Technology Holdings pursuant to this Section 7 supersede any preemptive rights or similar rights granted to Technology Holdings pursuant to any other agreement, including without limitation the agreements set forth on Schedule 3.1(b) hereto. Technology Holdings hereby waives any preemptive or similar rights it has today or may have in the future as a result of the issuances contemplated by this Agreement.

8.Registration Rights.

8.1Piggyback Registrations. Commencing 180 days after a Qualified IPO (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Bye-laws), the Company shall notify

any Holder in writing (a “Piggyback Notice”) at least 30 days prior to (x) filing any registration statement to effect a registration of Ordinary Shares on Form S-3/F-3 or (y) filing any registration statement to effect a registration of Ordinary Shares under the Securities Act on behalf of Technologies Holdings, and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder as provided in this Section 8.1. Each such Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall within twenty days after receipt of the Piggyback Notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of its Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement (it being agreed that any such election to include Shares shall be irrevocable). If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities held by it in any subsequent registration statement which shall trigger a Piggyback Notice, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

8.2Underwriting.

(a) If a registration statement with respect to which the Company gives notice under this Section 8 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders in the Piggyback Notice. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 8 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting (including a market stand-off agreement of up to 180 days if required by such underwriter or underwriters). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting (such exclusion, a “Cutback”), and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement pursuant to this Section 8 on a pro rata basis with any other holders of securities of the Company participating in such registration based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (calculated on an as-converted basis) and other holders of securities of the Company; provided, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that, subject to the rights of any holders granted registration rights on par with the rights provided for in this Section 8, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other Person, including, without limitation, any Person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If all the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders have

been included, the other shareholders of the Company may include any Ordinary Shares on a pro rata basis. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are Affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all Persons included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(b) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 8, including, without limitation, all federal and “blue sky” registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders (but excluding underwriters’ and brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders), shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 8 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers in connection with such offering by the Holders.

8.3Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

Furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.

(d) Blue Sky. Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that

the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions.

(e) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

Cause its employees and personnel to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, the participation in “road shows,” at the request of the underwriters or the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration) to the extent possible taking into account the Company’s business needs and the requirements of the marketing process.

(i) Approvals. Use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such governmental authorities as may be reasonably necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the purchasers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

(j) Inspection Rights. Make available for inspection by any one lead underwriter participating in any such registration and its attorneys, accountants or other agents retained by any such underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable it, for itself and on behalf of the underwriters, to exercise its due diligence responsibility under the Securities Act, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the “Information”) reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with the preparation and filing of such registration statement. Any of the Information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (1) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement, (2) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (3) such Information has been made generally available to the public. The seller of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information it deems confidential.

(k) Transfer Agent. Provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Securities to the extent not already provided.

(n) CUSIP. Not later than the effective date of any registration statement (the “Registration Date”), provide a CUSIP number for the Securities registered under such registration statement and provide the trustee with printed certificates for such Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.’

(o) Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 8 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information as may be reasonably requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such

Securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

8.4Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 8:

(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers, directors, employees and agents of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) or actions (“Liabilities”) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal, state or foreign law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “Violation”):

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any document incident to registration or qualification of any securities of the Company;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or

(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal, state or foreign securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal, state or foreign securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement.

The Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, underwriter or controlling Person of such Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such Liability; provided, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 8.4(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such Liability to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendments, supplement or document by such Holder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, underwriter or controlling Person of such Holder.

(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, officers, directors, employees or agents or any Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent, controlling Person, underwriter or any such other Holder, partner, director, officer, employee or agent of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal, state or foreign law, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement or document; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action: provided, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 8.4(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 8.4(b) or is contributed under Section 8.4(e) shall not exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities effected pursuant to the related registration.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8.4 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8.4, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8.4 to the extent the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.4.

(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and the Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party and was furnished to the Person asserting the Liability at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Sections 8.4(a) or (b) with respect to any Liabilities thereunder, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and each selling Holder shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and each selling Holder agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Liabilities referred to in Sections 8.4(a) and (b) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9.CO-SALE RIGHTS.

9.1Co-Sale Right. (a) If any Shareholder or group of Shareholders (the “Selling Shareholder(s)”), in one or a series of related transactions, proposes to sell, transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise convey or dispose of all or a portion of the Shares of the Company, or rights to acquire Shares of the Company, to a Person and/or its Affiliates which would result in such Person and/or its Affiliates, collectively, holding a majority of all of the aggregate outstanding Ordinary Class Shares outstanding at such time, calculated on an as-converted basis (collectively, the “Outstanding Shares”), then the Selling Shareholder(s) shall promptly give written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) to each of the other Shareholders at least fifteen Business Days prior to the closing of such sale. The Co-Sale Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed sale including, without limitation, the number of shares to be sold or transferred (the “Co-Sale Shares”),

the nature of such sale, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee. Each other Shareholder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder(s) within ten Business Days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in such sale of Co-Sale Shares on the same terms and conditions, including to sell at the same price per share. To the extent one or more of the other Shareholders exercises such right of co-sale (the “Co-Sale Right”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Co-Sale Shares that the Selling Shareholder(s) may sell in the relevant transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The Co-Sale Right of each Shareholder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Each Shareholder may sell all or any part of that number of the Ordinary Class Shares, Series A Preference Shares and/or Series B Preference Shares, as the case may be, held by such Shareholder that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of Co-Sale Shares set forth in the Co-Sale Notice by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Ordinary Class Shares held by such Shareholder at the time of the sale and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Ordinary Class Shares held by the Selling Shareholder(s) and all other Shareholders which are exercising their Co-Sale Rights at such time.

(b) For purposes of determining any calculations under this Section 9, the number of Ordinary Class Shares held by any Shareholder or Shareholders, including the Selling Shareholder(s), shall be calculated on an as-converted basis (e.g., taking into account the sum of the number of Ordinary Class Shares held by such Shareholder at such time plus the number of Ordinary Class Shares that would be held by such Shareholder upon conversion of such Shareholders’ Series A Preference Shares and/or Series B Preference Shares, as applicable).

(c) Each Shareholder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice requesting the Secretary to revise the share ledger to represent the proposed sale of shares to the prospective purchaser upon the closing of the proposed sale. Such notice shall include the type and number of shares of Outstanding Shares of the Company which such Shareholder elects to sell; provided, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of Series A Preference Shares or Series B Preference Shares in lieu of Ordinary Class Shares, such holder of Series A Preference Shares and/or Series B Preference Shares, as the case may be, shall convert such Series A Preference Shares and/or Series B Preference Shares, as the case may be, into Ordinary Shares and deliver that number of Ordinary Shares as calculated as provided above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual sale of such shares to the purchaser.

(d) Upon receipt of notice from the Company that the transfer of such shares in the stock ledger has occurred, the Selling Shareholder(s) shall concurrently therewith assign to each such other Shareholder who shall have properly effected its Co-Sale Rights hereunder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective

purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment of proceeds or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Shareholder exercising its Co-Sale Rights, the Selling Shareholder(s) shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any shares of Outstanding Shares of the Company unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder(s) shall purchase such shares of Outstanding Shares of the Company from such other Shareholder or Shareholders, as the case may be.

(e) Non-Exercise of Rights. To the extent any Shareholder does not elect to participate in the sale of Co-Sale Shares in the time periods specified, the Selling Shareholder(s) may, not later than 120 days following delivery to the other Shareholders of the Co-Sale Notice, conclude a sale of the Co-Sale Shares on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the transferee than those described in the Co-Sale Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions materially more favorable than those described in the Co-Sale Notice or any sale of such Co-Sale Shares after the 120 day period, shall be made only after compliance anew with the provisions of this Section 9.

(f) Termination. The Co-Sale Rights of the Shareholders shall terminate upon a Qualified IPO (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Bye-laws).

10.Amendment.

10.1Amendment of Rights. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of (i) the Company (ii) Technology Holdings, (iii) the Majority Lender Shareholders and (iv) the Majority Interest Lenders;provided,however, that any amendment that adversely and disproportionately affects a Lender or Lender Shareholder, or increases the monetary obligations or liabilities of any such Lender or Lender Shareholder, shall require that Lender’s or Lender Shareholder’s, as the case may be, written consent.

11.Voting Arrangements.

11.1 The Company and each of the Shareholders hereby agrees to take such action necessary, including voting or otherwise consenting with respect to the Shares owned by it, or cause any Representatives designated by such Shareholder to take such action necessary, including voting or otherwise consenting, as maybe required under applicable Bermuda law, to give full and timely effect to (1) Bye-Law 3 of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws with respect to the redemption of the Preference Shares and (2) Section 12 of this Agreement.

12.Board of Directors

12.1 Technology Holdings shall have the right at any time prior to the consummation of the Third Closing and as long as it continues to hold a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Class Shares, calculated on an as-if converted basis, to appoint at least a majority of the directors of the Managing Entities (as defined below). Subject to Sections 12.2(b), 12.2(c) and 12.2(d), the holders of a current majority in interest of the

Loans excluding any holder of Loans that also holds Series B2 Preference Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares (the “Majority Interest Lenders”), as a group, shall be entitled by written notice to the Company to appoint one director to the board or other governing body of each of the Company, Bermuda, Ltd. and Stratus, Inc., (the “Managing Entities”) and such director shall be a member of each committee of such board or governing body except to the extent such committee was formed to approve a transaction in which that director or such director’s employer (or its Affiliate) has a material interest or to the extent prohibited by applicable law. In addition, for so long as The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company is a holder of Loans, The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company shall have the right to appoint a designee that is an employee of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company or its Affiliate as an observer to the boards and the committees of the Managing Entities. Such observer shall be subject to all confidentiality and other information sharing limitations (including, without limitation, any trading restrictions) applicable to any Director, and the Company shall not be obligated to provide any information to such observer to the extent doing so could reasonably be expected to jeopardize any privileges. In addition, by vote of the majority of the Directors on an applicable board of any of the Managing Entities, such board may, to the extent the Directors deem it in necessary in good faith, meet in executive session, without the presence of any observer or other non-director persons, including in order to maintain any such privilege.

12.2 Subject to Sections 12.2(b), 12.2(c) and 12.2(d), following the consummation of the Third Closing (if applicable), the Majority Interest Lenders, as a group, shall be entitled, by a written notice to the Company, to appoint the majority of the directors on the board of each of the Managing Entities (directors appointed by the Majority Interest Lenders pursuant to Sections 12.1 and 12.2, the “Lender Shareholder Designees”), provided that Technology Holdings shall be entitled to appoint at least three directors to the Managing Entities (such persons, the “Technology Holdings Designees”, and together with the Lender Shareholder Designees the “Shareholder Designees”), at any time following the Third Closing.

(a) The Company shall reimburse each of the Shareholder Designees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them for the purpose of attending meetings of the Managing Entities or committees thereof.

(b) Upon Discharge, the Majority Interest Lenders shall cease to have the rights to designate any directors to the Managing Entities pursuant to Section 12.2,provided,however, that the Lender Shareholders holding a current majority in interest in the Series B Preference Shares shall, upon such Discharge, have the right to appoint one director to the boards or other governing bodies of the Managing Entities pursuant to Section 12.1, so long as at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding Series B Preference Shares as of the date of such Discharge remain outstanding. The number of Directors on the boards of the Managing Entities shall be adjusted in accordance with changes to or removal of the Shareholder Designees pursuant to this Section 12.2(b).

(c) Each Lender Shareholder Designee must not be, at the time of their appointment to the board of a Managing Entity, a competitor of the Company or its Affiliates,

and if they become a competitor of the Company or its Affiliates, they shall be automatically removed from the board of each Managing Entity.

12.3Removal of Directors. Each Director is subject to removal at any time for any reason, or for no reason, by (and only by) the Shareholder or Shareholders which designated such director.

12.4Filling Vacancies.

If the entire amount of Preference Shares requested to be redeemed has not been redeemed within ninety (90) days of the Preference Share Redemption Date, the holders of a majority of the then issued Preference Shares may require the Company to use its reasonable efforts to cause a sale of the Company or other transaction necessary to produce sufficient proceeds to permit the payment of the full Redemption Price for the remaining Preference Shares requested to be redeemed that were not otherwise redeemed.

(d)

If the Company (i) defaults in its obligations to pay the Redemption Price in respect of each Preference Share to be redeemed, or (ii) has funds legally available to pay the Redemption Price, but defaults in its obligation to do so, and, in either case, such default continues for more than ten (10) Business Days, the holder(s) of a majority of the then issued Voting Preference Shares shall be entitled to appoint, remove and replace an additional director to the Board of Directors of the Company (and any such appointment, removal or replacement shall be effected by a notice deposited with the Secretary in accordance with Bye-laws 74(b) and 75(b) (as applicable)) and the amount payable with respect to the Redemption Price after such default has increased, (a) if such default occurs on or before February 1, 2002, to amount equal to the Initial Series A Conversion Price (as defined in Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(a)) times one point thirty-seven (1.37); (b) if such default occurs on or before February 1, 2003 but after February 1, 2002, to an amount equal to the product of the amount determined in (a) above time one point seventeen (1.17); (c) if such default occurs on or before February 1, 2004 but after February 1, 2003, to an amount equal to the product of the amount determined in (b) above times one point ten (1.10); and (d) if such default occurs after February 1, 2004, to an amount equal to the greater of the amount determined in (c) above or the amount necessary to attain a ten percent (10%) IRR.

(ii)

Dividends

	(a)		The credit balance on the profit and loss account, after deduction of the general expenses, social charges, write-offs and provisions for past and future contingencies as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company represents the net profit.

	(b)		The remaining balance of the net profit shall be at the disposal of the Board of Directors of the Company.

	(c)		The holders of the Preference Shares (together as if one class) shall be entitled to receive in any financial year, out of the funds legally available therefore, dividends at a rate of eight percent (8%) of the Initial Conversion Price for each series (as defined in Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(a)) on the basis that, in respect of each series of Preference Share, the Initial Conversion Price shall be deemed to be retroactive to the Series A Original Issue Date, notwithstanding that Series B Preference Shares may have been created after such date (e.g., measured in the case of the Series B Preference Shares from the date measured for purposes of calculating the dividend payable with respect to the Series A Preference Shares so that the Preferred Share Dividend for each Preference Share shall be at all times equal) (as adjusted for any subdivisions, combinations, consolidations or distributions or dividends in specie with respect to such shares) per annum on each issued Preference Share

			(“Preference Share Dividend”), payable in preference and priority to any payment of the dividend on the Ordinary Class Shares or any other class or series of shares of the Company authorized and issued in the future (unless otherwise approved by the holders of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting interests of the then issued Voting Preference Shares, voting separately as a class on an as-converted basis). Such dividends on the Preference Shares shall be non-cumulative and shall be payable subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. Dividends, when payable, will be distributed in the time and place fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

	(d)		After payment of the Preference Share Dividend to the holders of the Preference Shares, dividends (whether in cash or in shares) may be paid to the holders of the Preference Shares and the Ordinary Class Shares (together as if one class), and any other holders of shares in the capital of the Company, provided that the amount paid to the holders of the Preference Shares shall be equal to the net excess of (i) the aggregate amount of the dividends paid with respect to the Ordinary Class Shares from February 1, 2001 and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Preference Share Dividend and other dividends previously paid to the holders of the Preference Shares.

	(e)		Interim dividends may be paid by the Board of Directors of the Company within the conditions provided for by law and these Bye-laws.

	(iii)		Conversion of the Preference Shares to Ordinary Class Shares; Conversion of the Series B1 Preference Shares to Series B2 Preference Shares; Conversion of the Series B2 Preference Shares to Series B1 Preference Shares; Conversion of the Series B1 Ordinary Shares to Series B2 Ordinary Shares; Conversion of the Series B2 Ordinary Shares to Series B1 Ordinary Shares; Conversion of the Series A Ordinary Shares, the Series B1 Ordinary Shares and the Series B2 Ordinary Shares to Ordinary Shares

			The holders of certain shares of the Company shall have the following conversion rights:

			Optional Conversion

(a)

Each Series A Preference Share, Series B1 Preference Share and Series B2 Preference Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Preference Shares into such number of fully paid Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares and Series B2

			Ordinary Shares, respectively, as is determined by dividing USD 7.09 by the conversion price of each such series, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion (“Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price for each such series of Preference Share shall initially be USD 7.09 (“Initial Conversion Price”). Such Initial Conversion Price for each series is, retroactive to the Series A Original Issue Date, and shall continue to be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

	(b)		Each Series B1 Preference Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the shares of the Company into one Series B2 Preference Share.

	(c)		Each Series B2 Preference Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the shares of the Company into one Series B1 Preference Share.

	(d)		Each Series B1 Ordinary Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the shares of the Company into one Series B2 Ordinary Share.

	(e)		Each Series B2 Ordinary Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the shares of the Company into one Series B1 Ordinary Share.

	(f)		Each Series A Ordinary Share, Series B1 Ordinary Share and Series B2 Ordinary Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the shares of the Company into one Ordinary Share.

Automatic Conversion

(g)

The Series A Preference Shares, Series B1 Preference Shares and Series B2 Preference Shares will automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier of:

(i)

the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering of Ordinary Shares either (x) on a recognized leading European stock exchange (with Requisite Approval) lead managed by an underwriter of internationally recognized standing or (y) pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 or Form F-1 (as appropriate) or any successor forms under the 1933 Act, lead managed by an underwriter of recognized U.S national standing, for

			listing on a U.S nationally recognized exchange, at an effective per share public offering price of at least the Initial Conversion Price (subject to adjustments as hereinafter provided) multiplied by two (2) and resulting in gross proceeds to the Company in excess of seventy-five million United States Dollars (USD 75,000,000) (before deduction of underwriters’ commissions and expenses) (a“Qualified IPO”); and

	(ii)		the date specified by vote or written consent of holders of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting interests of the then outstanding Series A Preference Shares, Series B1 Preference Shares and Series B2 Preference Shares, voting separately as one class on an as-converted basis.

In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preference Shares upon a Qualified IPO, the person(s) entitled to receive the Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of Preference Shares shall instead receive only Ordinary Shares as if converted under 3(b)(iii)(f), and shall not be deemed to have converted such Preference Shares or Ordinary Class Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such Qualified IPO. In addition, upon a Qualified IPO, the outstanding Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares and Series B2 Ordinary Shares will automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares as if converted under 3(b)(iii)(j), such shares shall not be deemed to have been converted until immediately prior to the closing of such Qualified IPO.

Mechanics of Conversion

(h)

Conversion of Preference Shares to Ordinary Class Shares. No fractional Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preference Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into full Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares, it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, if any, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preference Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that it elects to convert such number of Preference Shares, as specified in such notice. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preference Shares a certificate or certificates for the number of Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares to which it shall be entitled as aforesaid or, in lieu thereof, evidence

			that such number of Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares has been recorded in the Register as held by such holder, and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Preference Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares on such date.

	(i)		Conversion of Series B1 Preference Shares or B2 Preference Shares to Series B2 Preference Shares or B1 Preference Shares. Before any holder of Series B1 Preference Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Series B2 Preference Shares or before any holder of Series B2 Preference Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Series B1 Preference Shares, as the case may be, it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, if any, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preference Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that it elects to convert such number of Series B1 Preference Shares or B2 Preference Shares into a like number of Series B2 Preference Shares or B1 Preference Shares, as the case may be. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series B1 Preference Shares or B2 Preference Shares a certificate or certificates for the number of such other series of Series B Preference Shares to which it shall be entitled as aforesaid or, in lieu thereof, evidence that such number of Series B Preference Shares has been recorded in the Register as held by such holder. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Series B Preference Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the other series of Series B Preference Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such other series of Series B Preference Shares on such date.

	(j)		Conversion of Ordinary Class Shares to a Different Series of Ordinary Class Shares. Before any holder of Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, if any, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Ordinary Class Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that it elects to convert such number of

Ordinary Class Shares into a like number of such other series of Ordinary Class Shares, as specified in such notice and as permitted hereunder. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Ordinary Class Shares a certificate or certificates for the number of such other series of Ordinary Class Shares to which it shall be entitled as aforesaid or, in lieu thereof, evidence that such number of Ordinary Class Shares has been recorded in the Register as held by such holder. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Ordinary Class Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the other series of Ordinary Class Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such other series of Ordinary Class Shares on such date.

Reservation of shares issuable upon Conversion

(k)

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Preference Shares and Ordinary Class Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversions contemplated by this Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(a)-(f) such number of each series of Ordinary Class Shares or Preference Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all issued Preference Shares and Ordinary Class Shares and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of any such class or series shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all such issued Preference Shares or Ordinary Class Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preference Shares or Ordinary Class Shares, as the case may be, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Class Shares or Preference Shares, or any series thereof, to such number of Ordinary Class Shares or Preference Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

Adjustments to Conversion Price

	(l)		Special Definitions

No adjustment of the Conversion Price

(m)

No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a series shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares unless the consideration per share for an Additional Ordinary Share issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue.

Deemed issue of Additional Ordinary Shares

(n)

In the event Stratus SA or the Company, as the case may be, at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date has issued or shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or has fixed or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class or series of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number that would result in an adjustment pursuant to Bye-Law 3(b)(iii)(n)(B) below) of Ordinary Class Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Ordinary Shares issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that Additional Ordinary Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(o) hereof) of such Additional Ordinary Shares would be less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which Additional Ordinary Shares are deemed to be issued:

	(A)		no further adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Preference Shares shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

	(B)		if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, or increase or decrease in the number of Ordinary Class Shares issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

(C)

upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

	(i)		in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Ordinary Class Shares, the only Additional Ordinary Shares issued were Ordinary Class Shares, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange; and

	(ii)		in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Ordinary Shares deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

	(D)		no readjustment pursuant to Bye-laws 3(b)(iii)(n)(B) or (C) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (x) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (y) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; and

	(E)		in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(n)(C) above.

Adjustment of Conversion Price upon issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares for an aggregate consideration of less than USD 20,000,000

(o)

In the event that, after March [__], 2010 and until such time as Stratus SA or the Company, as the case may be, has received or receives aggregate consideration in excess of twenty million United States Dollars (USD 20,000,000) from the issuance, or series of issuances, of Additional Ordinary Shares (such date, the“Trigger Point”), Stratus SA or the Company, as the case may be, has issued or issues Additional Ordinary Shares without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of any series of Preference Shares in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event the Conversion Price of such series shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined according to the following formula:


		ACP = PCP X	OSC +$$$
		ACP = PCP X	PCP
			OSS

	Where:		“ACP”is the Adjusted Conversion Price;

			“PCP”is the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance;

			“OSC”is the number of Ordinary Class Shares issued immediately prior to such issuance;

			“OSS”is the number of Ordinary Class Shares issued immediately subsequent to such issuance; and

			“$$$”is the total consideration for all Additional Ordinary Shares issued in such issuance, as applicable.

Any adjustment under this Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(o) shall become effective at the close of business on the relevant record or issue date. For the purpose of all such adjustments hereunder, in calculating OSC and OSS, the maximum number of Ordinary Class Shares which the holders of any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities shall be entitled to

subscribe for or purchase or convert or exchange such securities into shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding.

Adjustment of Conversion Price upon issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares for an aggregate consideration greater than USD 20,000,000

(p)

In the event that at any time after the Trigger Point the Company shall issue Additional Ordinary Shares without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the then applicable Conversion Price of any series of Preference Shares in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event the Conversion Price of such series shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to such lower price per Additional Ordinary Share in such issuance;provided,however, that the Conversion Price as adjusted under this Bye Law 3(b)(iii)(p) shall only apply to Preference Shares held by any holder that exercises its right of first offer to purchase securities in any equity offering by the Company with respect to at least fifty percent (50%) of the additional shares made available to such holder in connection with such offering (the “Minimum Participation Amount”). Holders who do not elect to exercise their right of first offer with respect to at least the Minimum Participation Amount shall continue to be entitled to antidilution protection provided under Bye Law 3(b)(iii)(o) hereof. For avoidance of doubt, in the event the Company shall issue Additional Ordinary Shares prior to the Trigger Point and the consideration to be received in such issuance, when aggregated with all consideration received by the Company in previous issuances by the Company of Additional Ordinary Shares, exceeds twenty million United States Dollars (USD 20,000,000), then and in such event the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to such lower price per Additional Ordinary Share in such issuance with respect to the entire amount of such issuance, subject to the proviso set forth in the first sentence of this Bye- Law 3(b)(iii)(p).

Determination of the Consideration

(q)

For the purpose of Bye-law 3(b)(iii), the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of any Additional Ordinary Shares shall be computed as follows:

	(i)		Cash and Property

			Except as provided in Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(q)(ii) below, such consideration shall:

	(A)		insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

	(B)		insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be

			computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and as confirmed by an independent auditor; and

	(C)		in the event Additional Ordinary Shares are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received with respect to such Additional Ordinary Shares, computed as provided in Bye-laws 3(b)(iii)(q)(i)(A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

	(ii)		Expenses

			In the event the Company pays or incurs expenses, commissions or compensation, or allows concessions or discounts to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issuance, in an aggregate amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such issuance as determined in Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(q)(i) above, consideration shall be computed as provided in Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(q)(i) above after deducting the aggregate amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such issuance.

	(iii)		Options and Convertible Securities

			The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Bye-law 3(b)(iii)(n), relating to Options and Convertibles shall be determined by dividing:

	(A)		the total amount, if any received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without any regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of the Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

	(B)		the number of Ordinary Class Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the

exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

Adjustments for dividends in specie, subdivisions, combinations or consolidations of Ordinary Class Shares

(r)

In the event the issued Ordinary Class Shares, or any series thereof, shall be subdivided into a greater number of Ordinary Class Shares, the Conversion Price of the series of Preference Shares which is convertible into such series of Ordinary Class Shares then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the issued Ordinary Class Shares, or any series thereof, shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification, redesignation or otherwise, into a lesser number of Ordinary Class Shares, the Conversion Price of the series of Preference Shares which is convertible into such series of Ordinary Class Shares then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased. In the event any series of Ordinary Class Shares (but not a series of Ordinary Class Shares which is convertible into such series) shall be subdivided into a greater number of Ordinary Class Shares, the conversion ratio of the series which is convertible into such series of Ordinary Class Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event any series of Ordinary Class Shares (but not a series of Ordinary Class Shares which is convertible into such series) shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification, redesignation or otherwise, into a lesser number of Ordinary Class Shares, the conversion ratio of the series which is convertible into such series of Ordinary Class Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

Adjustments for other distributions

(s)

In the event the Company at any time or from time to time makes or files a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Class Shares entitled to receive any distribution payable in securities or assets of the Company other than Ordinary Class Shares, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Preference Shares shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of Ordinary Class Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of securities or assets of the Company which they would have received had their Preference Shares been converted into the applicable series of Ordinary Class Shares immediately prior to such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities or assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Bye-law 3(b)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preference Shares.

Adjustments for reclassification, exchange and substitution

(t)

If any class or series of shares (an “Issuable Class”) issuable upon conversion of any other class or series of shares (a “Convertible Class”) shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of shares, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, redesignation or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Bye- Law 3(b)(iii)(r) hereof), then and in each such event the holder of each share of the Convertible Class shall have the right thereafter to convert such share, into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization or reclassification, redesignation or other change by holders of the number of shares of such Issuable Class that would have been subject to receipt by the holders of the Convertible Class immediately before that change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

No impairment

(u)

Save, where to do or fail to do any matter or thing would or may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, amount to a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Directors:

	a.		the Directors are authorized to effect conversion of the Company’s shares as provided in this Bye-law 3(b)(iii) in such manner as they shall think fit including, by means of redesignation, reclassification or a repurchase; and

	b.		the Company will not, by amendment of these Bye-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, amalgamation, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but, save as aforesaid, the Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Bye-law 3(b)(iii) and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of any Convertible Class against impairment.

Certificates as to adjustments

(v)

Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of a series of Preference Shares or other conversion ratio, pursuant to this Bye-law 3(b)(iii), the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preference Shares or Ordinary Class Shares affected by such adjustment or readjustment a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preference Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i)

			such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect for each series of Preference Shares and (iii) the number and kind of Ordinary Class Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such Preference Shares.

	(w)		All calculations under this Bye-law 3(b)(iii) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

	(x)		No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a series need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in such Conversion Price of less than USD 0.01. Any adjustment of less than USD 0.01 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of USD 0.01 or more in such Conversion Price.

(iv)

	(ii)		other than as a manner for effecting conversion of a series of Preference Shares or Series A Ordinary Shares, Series B1 Ordinary Shares or Series B2 Ordinary Shares as provided in Bye-Law 3(b)(iii), any action that reclassifies any outstanding shares of the Company into shares of the Company having preferences or priority as to dividends or assets ranking with a higher preference to or on a parity with any series of Preference Shares; and

	(iii)		any amendment of these Bye-laws that affects the rights of the holders of the Preference Shares.

(vi)

Liquidity Events

	(a)		In the event of any (i) liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, (ii) consolidation, amalgamation, transformation, acquisition, change of control, or other transaction or series of transactions in which the Company’s shareholders would not retain a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity or (iii) Sale Event (each, a“Liquidity Event”), provided, however, that a Liquidity Event shall not include the issuance of shares to holders of the Second Lien Loans pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement:

			(i) the holders of the then issued Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of any other class or series of shares, including the Ordinary Class Shares, by reason of their ownership of such Preference Shares, an amount necessary to provide the holders of the Preference Shares with the greater of the following returns (the “Preference Amount”), in accordance with their respective ownership interests:

	(A)		the amount the holders of the Preference Shares would have received if the Preference Shares were converted into Ordinary Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the Liquidity Event (the “Conversion Amount”); or

	(B)		one of the following:

	(I)		if the Liquidity Event occurs on or before February 1, 2002, the product of the Initial Conversion Price times 1.35;

	(II)		if the Liquidity Event occurs on or before February, 2003, but after February 1, 2002, the product of the amount determined in Bye-law 3(b)(vi)(a)(i)(B)(I) above times 1.15;

	(III)		if the Liquidity Event occurs on or before February 1, 2004 but after February 1, 2003, the product of the amount determined in Bye-law 3(b)(vi)(a)(i)(B)(II) above times 1.08; or

	(IV)		if the Liquidity Event occurs on or after February 1, 2004, the greater of the amount determined in Bye-law 3(b)(vi)(a)(i)(B)(III) above or the amount necessary to attain an eight percent (8%) IRR.

			Upon a Liquidity Event, if the assets and funds distributed amongst the holders of the Preference Shares shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Preference Amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preference Shares in proportion to the Preference Amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive with respect to such holder’s holding of Preference Shares.

	(iv)		After setting apart or paying in full the Preference Amounts due to the holders of the Preference Shares pursuant to Bye-law provisions 3(b)(vi)(a), the remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution to shareholders, if any, shall be distributed to the holders of the Ordinary Class Shares on a pro rata basis.

	(b)		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bye-law 3(b)(vi), the Company may at any time, out of funds legally available therefor, repurchase Ordinary Class Shares issued to or held by employees, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services, pursuant to any agreement providing for such right of repurchase, whether or not dividends on the Preference Shares shall have been declared and

			funds set aside therefor and such repurchases shall not be subject to the liquidation preferences of the Preference Shares, such number of Ordinary Class Shares to be repurchased pursuant to any agreement subsequent to February 1, 2001 not to exceed in the aggregate one percent (1%) of the issued Ordinary Class Shares per annum.

	(c)		In the event the Company proposes to distribute assets other than cash in connection with a Liquidity Event, the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of the Preference Shares and the Ordinary Class Shares shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or, in case of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, by the liquidator(s). Any securities not subject to restrictions on free marketability shall be valued as follows:

	(A)		if traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the security’s closing prices on such exchange over the twenty (20) day period ending one (1) day prior to the distribution;

	(B)		if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the twenty (20) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and

	(C)		if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, the liquidator(s).

(d)

The method of valuation of securities subject to restrictions on free marketability shall be adjusted to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in Bye Laws 3(b)(vi)(c)(A),(B) or (C) hereof to reflect the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, the liquidator(s). The holders of at least a majority of the voting interests of the issued Voting Preference Shares, voting separately as a class on an as-converted basis, shall have the right separately to challenge any determination by the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, the liquidator(s) of fair market value pursuant to Bye-law 3(b)(vi)(c), in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board of Directors or, as the case may be, the liquidator(s) and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne equally by the Company and the challenging parties.

	(vii)		Voting

			(a) The Preference Shares shall be subject to the following rights and restrictions with regards to voting;

	(i)		The holders of Series A Preference Shares shall in respect of their holdings of Series A Preference Shares shall, when taken together as a class, be entitled, at any general meeting of the Company or in respect of any matter provided for in these Bye-laws, to such number of votes as is equal to the number of whole Series A Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preference Shares held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining those shareholders who are entitled to vote on such matter at the general meeting in question.

	(ii)		The holders of Series B1 Preference Shares shall in respect of their holdings of Series B1 Preference Shares shall, when taken together as a class, be entitled, at any general meeting of the Company or in respect of any matter provided for in these Bye-laws, to such number of votes as is equal to the product of (x) the number of whole Series B1 Ordinary Shares into which the number of Series B1 Preference Shares held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining those shareholders who are entitled to vote on such matter at the general meeting in question, multiplied by (y) the B1 Preferred Voting Ratio. The “B1 Preferred Voting Ratio” shall mean that number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the number of issued and outstanding Series B Preference Shares at such record date, by (B) the number of issued and outstanding Series B1 Preference Shares as at such record date.

	(iii)		The Series B2 Preference Shares shall not carry any rights to vote at any general meeting of the Company or in respect of any matter provided for in these Bye-laws or otherwise, except as expressly provided elsewhere in these Bye-laws.

(b)

The Ordinary Class Shares shall rank pari passu with each other in all respects save that, subject to any express provision of these Bye-laws which provides the holders of any series of Ordinary Class Shares with the rights to vote in respect of any matter, the Ordinary Class Shares shall be subject to the following rights and restrictions with regards to voting:

	(i)		The Ordinary Shares and Series A Ordinary Shares shall carry the rights to vote at any general meeting of the Company or in respect of any matter provided for in these Bye-laws on the basis of one vote per share;

The “B1 Ordinary Voting Ratio” shall mean that number equal to the quotient

			obtained by dividing (A) (the number of issued and outstanding Series B Ordinary Shares as at such record date less the number of Series B Ordinary Shares converted to Ordinary Shares as at such date), by (B) the number of issued and outstanding Series B1 Ordinary Shares as at such record date.

	(iii)		The Series B2 Ordinary Shares shall not carry any rights to vote at any special general meeting of the Company or in respect of any matter provided for in these Bye-laws.

	(c)	Subject to any rights conferred by these Bye-laws on the holders of any share or class of shares, and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class of shares, any share in the Company may be issued with or have attached thereto such preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise, as the Company may in general meeting from time to time determine.

	(i)		that they are to be redeemed on a given date or otherwise in accordance with the terms of issue of the shares determined by the Company; and/or

	(ii)		that they are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company; and/or

	(iii)		if authorised by the Memorandum of Association or Incorporating Act of the Company, that they are liable to be redeemed at the option of the holder.

	(b)		The redemption of preference shares (other than the Preference Shares which shall be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of Bye-law 3(b)(i)) hereunder shall be effected on such terms and in such manner as the Members of the Company shall, before the issue of such shares, determine by way of amendment of these Bye-laws and shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act.

	(c)		The Company shall have the power to acquire its own shares to be held as Treasury Shares, for cash or any other consideration in accordance with the Companies Act on such terms as the Directors shall think fit. All the rights attaching to a Treasury Share shall be suspended and shall not be exercised by

the Company in respect of any such Treasury Share and, except where required in accordance with the Companies Act, all Treasury Shares shall be excluded from the calculation of any percentage or fraction of the Company’s share capital, or shares of the Company or of any class of share capital, or shares of the Company.

Subject to the Companies Act, and to Bye-law 3(b)(v)(b), if applicable, all or any of the special rights for the time being attached to any class of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than fifty-one per cent of the voting interests of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. To every such separate general meeting, all the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to general meetings shall apply but so that the necessary quorum shall be two or more persons holding or representing by proxy fifty per cent of the voting interests of the class and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

6.	(a)	The special rights conferred upon the holders of any class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or the terms of issue of that class, be deemed to be altered by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

SHARES

7.		The unissued shares of the Company shall be under the control of the Directors who (subject to the provisions of Bye-law 3(b)(v)(b), if applicable) may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them, in whole or fractional shares, to such persons at such times and for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the Directors may determine.

8.		The Directors may in connection with the issue of any shares exercise all powers of paying commission and brokerage conferred or permitted by law and may satisfy any obligation in respect of such payments in cash or by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other.

9.		Except as required by law no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon trust and the Company shall not be bound by or required in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share or (except only as otherwise provided in these Bye-laws) any other right in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

CERTIFICATES

10.

(a)

Unless specifically requested by a shareholder in writing to the Company, no certificates will be issued and the Company will maintain a book stock account of the shares for which a shareholder is entered into the Register and the

			shareholder shall be issued with a personal account number pertaining to such shareholder’s holding of shares. The preparation, issue and delivery of certificates shall be governed by the Companies Act.

	(b)		Every person whose name is entered as a shareholder in the Register shall be entitled without payment to one certificate for all of his shares of one class, or upon payment of such reasonable out-of pocket expenses as the Directors shall from time to time determine, to several certificates, each for one or more of his shares.

	(c)		In respect of a share or shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate and the delivery of a certificate to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.

	(d)		If the securities of the Company shall be traded or listed on an appointed stock exchange the Company may permit the issue and transfer of securities of the Company pursuant to Section 272A of the Companies Act and the Regulations made thereunder without the issue of certificates in respect thereof.

11.

(a)

If a share certificate is worn out, defaced, lost or destroyed it may be replaced without fee but on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of the costs and out of pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Directors may think fit and, if the old certificate is worn out or defaced, on delivery of that certificate to the Company for cancellation.

(b)

If the Bye-laws are amended in any way affecting anything contained in the certificates for issued shares, or it becomes desirable for any reason to cancel any outstanding certificate for shares and issue a new certificate therefor conforming to the rights of the holder, the directors may order any holders of certificates for issued shares to surrender and exchange them for new certificates within a reasonable time to be fixed by the directors.

12.

All certificates for shares, debentures or other securities of the Company (other than any securities issued pursuant to Bye-law 10(d) hereof and Section 272A of the Companies Act) shall be issued either: (i) under the Common Seal of the Company (and if the Common Seal is so affixed it shall bear the signature (or a facsimile thereof) of a Director or the Secretary); or (ii) bearing the signature (or a facsimile thereof) of a Director or the Secretary; or (iii) bearing the signature (or a facsimile thereof) of a person expressly authorised to sign such certificate. Even though an officer who signed, or whose facsimile signature has been written, printed or stamped on, a certificate for shares shall have ceased by death, resignation or otherwise to be an officer of the Company before such certificate is delivered by the Company, such certificate shall be as valid as though signed by a duly elected, qualified and authorised officer.

LIEN

13.

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys, whether presently payable or not, called or payable at a fixed

		time in respect of that share and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on all shares (other than fully paid shares) standing registered in the name of a Member, for all the debts and liabilities of that Member or his estate to the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any interest of any person other than that Member and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of that Member or his estate and any other person, whether a member or not. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. The Directors may at any time waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Bye-law.

14.		The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors may think fit, any share on which the Company has a lien but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such payment has been served on the Member or the person entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

15.		To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

16.		The net proceeds of sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a lien shall be applied in or towards payment or discharge of the debt or liability in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same is presently payable, and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

17.	(a)	The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares and not by the terms of issue thereof made payable at fixed times provided however that calls shall be made on all the shares and in the same proportions and at the same time, and each Member shall (subject to the Company serving upon him at least fourteen days notice specifying the time or times and place of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times and place so specified in the amount called on his shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine.

	(b)	The shares received by the Lenders Shareholders in connection with the Shareholders Agreement have been credited as fully paid and accordingly are nonassessable and not subject to any capital call requirements.

18.		A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed and may be required to be paid by instalments.

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

20.		If a sum called in respect of a share shall not be paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at ten percent (10%) per annum, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest wholly or in part.

21.		Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date shall for all the purposes of these Bye-laws be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable and, in case of non-payment, all the relevant provisions of these Bye-laws as to payment of interest, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

22.		The Directors may on the issue of shares differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

23.		If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid serve a notice on him in such form as the Board of Directors approve requiring payment by a date not less than 14 days from the date of the notice of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued. The Directors may accept the surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder and, in such case, references in these Bye-laws to forfeiture shall include surrender.

24.		If the requirements of such forfeiture notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls or instalments and interest due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

25.		When any share shall have been so forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be served upon the person who was immediately before forfeiture the holder of the share and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the Register; but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice as aforesaid.

26.		A forfeited share shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and the Directors may sell re-allot or otherwise dispose of the same upon such terms and in such manner as they shall think fit.

27.		Any person whose shares have been forfeited shall thereupon cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares but shall, notwithstanding the forfeiture, 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 with interest thereon at such rate as the Directors may determine from the date of forfeiture until payment, and the Company may enforce payment without being under any obligation to make any allowance for the value of the shares forfeited.

28.

An affidavit in writing that the deponent is a Director or the Secretary of the Company and that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the affidavit shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The Company may receive the consideration (if any) given for the share on any sale, re-allotment or disposition thereof and the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the share to the person to whom the same is sold, re-allotted or disposed of, and he shall thereupon 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 relating to the forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the share.

REGISTER OF MEMBERS

29.

The Secretary shall establish and maintain the Register of Members at the Registered Office in the manner prescribed by the Companies Act. Unless the Directors otherwise determine and subject to any period of closure permitted under the Act, the Register shall be open for inspection in the manner prescribed by the Companies Act between 10.00 a.m. and 12.00 noon on every business day. Unless the Directors so determine, no Member or intending Member shall be entitled to have entered in the Register any indication of any trust or any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share and if any such entry exists or is permitted by the Directors it shall not be deemed to abrogate any of the provisions of Bye-law 9.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

30.

Subject to the Companies Act, any restrictions as to the transfer of the Company’s shares contained in the Shareholders Agreement and in these Bye-laws, any member may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in writing in such form (which shall comply with the provisions of Bye-law 31) as the Board of Directors shall approve (and shall comply with the provisions of Bye-Law 31). The instrument of transfer may be on the back of the share certificate.

31.	(a)	The instrument of transfer of a share shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and in the case only of a nil or partly paid share in like manner by the transferee if by an individual in the presence of two witnesses and if by a Company in manner prescribed by its charter. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. All instruments of transfer when registered may be retained by the Company.

	(b)	The Directors may decline to register any transfer of shares upon which the Company has a lien and in their absolute discretion without assigning any reason therefor, may decline to register any transfer of any share which is not a fully-paid share. The directors may also decline to register any transfer unless:

(i)

the instrument of transfer has been duly stamped with any applicable Bermuda stamp duty and lodged with the Company, at its Registered Office or such other place as the Directors shall determine and of which

			notice shall be given, accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

	(ii)		the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share;

	(iii)		where applicable, the permission of the Bermuda Monetary Authority or any other relevant governmental or regulatory authority with respect thereto has been obtained.

32.		If the Directors decline to register a transfer they shall, within two months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to the transferee notice of such refusal.

33.		No fee shall be charged by the Company for registering any transfer, probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, distringas or stop notice, order of court or other instrument relating to or affecting the title to any share, or otherwise making an entry in the Register relating to any share.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

34.		In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors, where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was sole holder, shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased holder (whether the sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any share held by him solely or jointly with other persons.

35.		Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member or otherwise by operation of applicable law may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors as to his entitlement, be registered as the holder of the share or subject to the completion of the form of transfer set out in Form “A” hereto have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of the transfer of the share by that Member before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

36.		A person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death of a Member or otherwise by operation of applicable law shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board as to his entitlement, be entitled to receive and may give a discharge for any dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the share, but he shall not be entitled in respect of the share to receive notices of or to attend or vote at general meetings of the Company or, save as aforesaid, to exercise in respect of the share any of the rights or privileges of a Member until he shall have become registered as the holder thereof. The Directors may at any time give notice requiring such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share and if the notice is not complied with within sixty days the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends and other moneys payable in respect of the shares until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

37.

Subject to any directions of the Directors from time to time in force, the Secretary may exercise the powers and discretions of the Board under Bye-laws 34, 35 and 36.

INCREASE OF CAPITAL

38.		The Company may from time to time by resolution passed at a general meeting and whether or not all of the existing authorised capital shall have been issued increase its capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such par value as the resolution shall prescribe provided that in connection with any such increase the Company may not authorize the Directors to waive or limit the preferential subscription rights of the holders of the Preference Shares.

39.		The Company may, by the resolution increasing the capital, direct that the new shares or any of them shall be offered in the first instance either at par or at a premium or (subject to the provisions of the Companies Act) at a discount to all the holders for the time being of shares of any class or classes in proportion to the number of such shares held by them respectively or make any other provision as to the issue of the new shares.

40.		The new shares shall be subject to all the provisions of these Bye-laws with reference to lien, the payment of calls, forfeiture, transfer, transmission and otherwise.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

41.

(a)

The Company may, subject to Bye-law 3(b)(v)(b) if applicable, from time to time in general meeting:

	(i)		divide its shares into several classes and attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions;

	(ii)		consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger par value than its existing shares;

	(iii)		subdivide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller par value than is fixed by its Memorandum of Association, so, however, that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived;

	(iv)		change the currency denomination of its share capital;

	(v)		make provision for the issue and allotment of shares which do not carry any voting rights; and

	(vi)		cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution in that behalf, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

(b)

Within the authority conferred by the Members in general meeting, the Directors may settle any issues relating to such division, consolidation or subdivision

under this Bye-law as they think fit and, in particular may arrange for the sale of any shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to the purchaser thereof, who shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

42.

Subject to the Companies Act and to any confirmation or consent required by law or these Bye-laws the Company may by resolution in general meeting from time to time convert any preference shares into redeemable preference shares.

REDUCTION OF CAPITAL

43.		Subject to the Companies Act, its Memorandum of Association and any confirmation or consent required by law or these Bye-laws, including Bye-law 3(b)(v)(b), the Company may from time to time in general meeting authorise the reduction of its issued share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund or any share premium account in any manner.

Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner permitted by Bye-laws 112 and 113 to all Members and Directors other than such as, under the provisions of these Bye-laws or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from the Company.

47.		Notwithstanding that a meeting of the Company is called by shorter notice than that specified in Bye-law 46, it shall be deemed to have been duly called if it is so agreed:

	(i)		in the case of any general meeting of a Company having only one Member, by that Member; or

	(ii)		in the case of a meeting called as an Annual General Meeting, by all the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; or

	(iii)		in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having the right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority together holding not less than 95 per cent in nominal value of the shares giving that right.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

48.		No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present when the meeting proceeds to business. At least two Members present in person or by proxy and representing not less than 50 per cent of the Voting Shares of the Company shall be a quorum for all purposes save that if the Company has only one Member that Member present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum.

49.		If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to such other day and such other time and place as the Directors shall determine of which notice shall be given in the same manner as for the original meeting. The same quorum requirement shall again apply.

50.		The Chairman of the Directors shall preside as Chairman at every General Meeting. If there is no such Chairman or if at any meeting the Chairman is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to act. If no Director is present the Members present shall elect one of their number to be Chairman of the meeting.

51.		The Chairman of the meeting may, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

52.		At any meeting of the Company on a show of hands every Member present in person shall have one vote and on a poll every Member shall be entitled to such number of votes per share as is attributable to such class of share in accordance with Bye-law 3(c).

54.		If a share is held by two or more joint holders, the member whose name is listed first on the register shall be entitled to vote that share.

55.		The Directors of the Company shall be entitled to notice of and to attend and be heard at any general meeting of the Members of the Company or any separate class thereof.

56.		A Member who is a patient for any purpose under any statute or applicable law relating to mental health or in respect of whom an order has been made by any Court having jurisdiction for the protection or management of the affairs of persons incapable of managing their own affairs may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person in the nature of a receiver, committee, curator bonis appointed by such Court and such receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person may vote on a poll by proxy, and may otherwise act and be treated as such Member for the purpose of general meetings of the Company.

57.		No Member shall, unless the Directors otherwise determine, be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.

58.		No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter or notice taken of any error in counting the votes cast except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or the error is committed, and every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairman of the meeting and shall only vitiate the result of the voting if the Chairman of the meeting decides that such result has been affected thereby. The decision of the Chairman of the meeting shall be final and conclusive.

59.		At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands a poll is demanded by:

	(i)		the Chairman of the meeting; or

	(ii)		at least three Members present in person or represented by proxy and holding Voting Shares; or

	(iii)		any Member or Members present in person or represented by proxy and holding between them not less than one tenth of the total voting rights of all the Members having the right to vote at such meeting; or

	(iv)		a Member or Members present in person or represented by proxy holding shares conferring the right to vote at such meeting, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one tenth of the total sum paid up on all such shares conferring such right.

60.		Unless a poll is so demanded in accordance with the foregoing Bye-law 59, a declaration by the Chairman of the meeting as to the result of the voting on a show of hands shall be final and conclusive, and any entry to that effect in the Minute Book of the Company shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number of votes recorded for or against such resolution.

61.		If a poll is duly demanded, the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll is demanded.

62.		A poll demanded on any question shall be taken forthwith and the result thereof declared by the Chairman of the meeting prior to the termination of the meeting.

63.		The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business which is not related to the question on which the poll has been demanded.

64.		A person entitled to more than one vote on a poll need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

65.		In the case of an equality of votes at a general meeting whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of such meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote and the motion under consideration shall fail.

66.		A meeting of the Members or any class thereof may be held by means of such telephone electronic or other communication facilities as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such a meeting.

PROXIES AND CORPORATE

REPRESENTATIVES

67.	(a)	The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing in such form as the Board of Directors may approve. It shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney authorised by him in writing or if the appointor is a corporation, either under its Seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same.

	(b)	A member may appoint any person as his proxy and any corporation may appoint a representative as permitted by the Companies Act. The proxy or representative need not be a Member.

68.		Any Member may appoint a standing proxy or, if a corporation, a representative by depositing such appointment at the Registered Office of the Company. Any such standing proxy or appointment of representative shall be valid for all general meetings and adjournments thereof until notice of revocation is received by the Secretary at the Registered Office. Where a standing proxy or appointment of representative exists, its operation shall be deemed to have been suspended at any general meeting or adjournment thereof at which the Member is present or in respect to which the Member has specially appointed a proxy or representative. The Directors may from time to time require such evidence as they shall deem necessary as to the due execution and continuing validity of any such standing proxy or authorisation and the operation of any such standing proxy or appointment of representative shall be deemed to be suspended until such time as the Directors determine that they have received the requested evidence or other evidence satisfactory to them.

69.		The instrument appointing a proxy together with any power of attorney under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy thereof or such other evidence as to its due execution as the Directors may from time to time require, shall be delivered at the Registered Office (or at such place as may be specified in the notice convening the meeting) not later than 24 hours prior to the holding of the meeting at which the person

		named in the instrument proposes to vote and in default the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid.

70.		The instrument of proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on any amendment of a resolution put to the meeting for which it is given as the proxy thinks fit. The instrument of proxy shall unless the contrary is stated therein be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates provided always that no proxy votes shall be accepted at any such adjournment unless the instrument of proxy shall have been delivered prior to the original meeting in the manner and by the time specified in Bye-law 69 hereof. A Member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf, whether on show of hands or on a poll, at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting.

81.		Every person acting as an alternate director shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to Directors and shall alone be responsible to the Company for his acts and defaults and shall not be deemed to be the agent of or for any Director for whom he is alternate.

Subject to the Companies Act and any further disclosure required thereby, a general notice to the Board of Directors by a Director or officer declaring that he is a director or officer or has an interest in any business entity and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction or arrangement made with that business entity shall be sufficient declaration of interest in relation to any transaction or arrangement so made.

91.

Notice of a meeting of the Directors shall be given in accordance with Bye-laws 112 and 113. A Director may waive notice before or after the date of the meeting for which the notice is given.

	(b)	Any one or more of the Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee by means of such telephone electronic or other communications facilities as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously and participation in such a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting and that meeting will be deemed to be held in Bermuda.

96.

All acts done at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors or by any person acting as a Director shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or person acting as aforesaid or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

Companies Act or these Bye-laws, the powers and duties of the officers of the Company shall be such (if any) as are determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

100.

The Secretary shall be appointed by the Board of Directors at such remuneration (if any) and upon such terms as they may think fit and any Secretary so appointed may be removed by them. The Secretary shall whenever possible, attend all meetings of the Company and of the Board of Directors, keep correct minutes of such meetings and enter such minutes in proper books provided for the purpose. The Secretary shall also perform such other duties including the preparation of written resolutions as shall from time to time be prescribed or delegated by the Board of Directors. The duties of the Secretary may when required be carried out by an assistant or acting secretary or any other director or officer so authorised in that behalf by the Board of Directors.

RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE

101

The Company, where Section 130 of the Act shall be applicable may appoint a Resident Representative in accordance with the Act.

The Resident Representative shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of the Board of Directors and Members of the Company or any committee of the Board of Directors and shall be entitled to attend, be heard at and to receive minutes of all proceedings of the Board of Directors and Members of the Company or of any committee of the Board of Directors: Provided that accidental omission to give notice to the Resident Representative of any such meeting of the Members or the Board of Directors or of any committee of the Board of Directors shall not invalidate any action taken at any such meetings.

THE SEAL

102.	(a)	The Company may adopt a Seal in such form as the Board of Directors shall determine.

	(b)	The Seal (if any) may, but need not be, affixed to any deed, instrument, document or share certificate and if the Seal is so affixed, it shall be attested by the signature of at least one person who is a Director or the Secretary of the Company, or of a person expressly authorised by the Board of Directors for that purpose.

RESERVES

104.

Pending the application of such reserve fund it may be invested in such manner as the directors shall think fit.

CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS AND SHARE PREMIUMS

105.		The Company may at any time and from time to time resolve in general meeting to the effect that it is desirable to capitalise any undivided profits (including profits standing to the credit of any reserve or other special account) not required for the payment of any fixed dividend or any moneys held on any share premium account or any capital redemption reserve fund other than any reserve fund which may have been established according to the terms of issue of such capital and accordingly that such amount be set free for distribution amongst the Members or any class of Members who would be entitled thereto if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, on the basis that the same be not paid in cash but be applied either in or towards paying up amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares in the Company held by such Members respectively or in payment up in full of unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company, to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid amongst such Members, or partly in one way and partly in the other, and the Board of Directors shall give effect to such resolution provided that for the purpose of this Bye-law, any sum standing to the credit of the share premium account may be applied only in paying up unissued shares of the same class in respect of which the share premium was paid to be issued to such Members credited as fully paid.

106.		Where any difficulty arises in regard to any distribution under the last preceding Bye-law the Board of Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and, in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion

but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments should be made to any Members in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Members.

RECORD DATES

107.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bye-laws the Board of Directors may fix any date as the record date for any allotment or issue of shares and for the purpose of identifying the persons entitled to receive notices of general meetings. Any such record date shall be not more than sixty days before the date on which such allotment or issue is to be made or such notice is to be despatched.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS

108.		The Directors shall exercise a general supervision over the financial affairs of the Company and shall cause to be kept in accordance with such generally accepted accounting principles as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine accounting records sufficient to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to show and explain its transactions, in accordance with the Companies Act.

109.		The records of account shall be kept at the Registered Office or at such other place or places as the Board of Directors think fit, and shall at all times be open to inspection by the Directors; provided that if the records of account are kept at some place outside Bermuda, there shall be kept at an office of the Company in Bermuda such records as will enable the Directors to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Company at the end of each three month period.

114.

Any notice or other document delivered, sent or given to a Member in any manner permitted by these Bye-laws shall, notwithstanding that such Member is then dead or bankrupt or that any other event has occurred, and whether or not the Company has notice of the death or bankruptcy or other event, be deemed to have been duly served or delivered in respect of any share registered in the name of such Member as sole or joint holder unless his name shall, at the time of service or delivery of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register as the holder of the share, and such service or delivery shall for all purposes be deemed as sufficient service or delivery of such notice

or document on all persons, interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the share.

INDEMNITY

115.	(a)	The Directors, Secretary and other Officers for the time being of the Company and the liquidator or trustees (if any) for the time being acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company or any subsidiary thereof and everyone of them, and everyone of their heirs, executors and administrators, shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets and profits of the Company or any subsidiary thereof from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them, their or any of their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, in their respective offices or trusts; and none of them shall be answerable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of the other or others of them or for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers or other persons with whom any moneys or effects belonging to the Company shall or may be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to the Company shall be placed out on or invested, or for any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto; provided that, this indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to any of said persons.

	(b)	Each Member agrees to waive any claim or right of action he might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, against any Director or Officer on account of any action taken by such Director or Officer, or the failure of such Director or Officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company or any subsidiary thereof; provided that, such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such Director.

	(c)	The Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or Officer against any liability incurred by him under the Companies Acts in his capacity as a Director or Officer or indemnifying such Director or Officer in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to him by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which the Director may be guilty in relation to the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

	(d)	The Company may advance moneys to a Director or Officer for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Director in defending any civil or criminal proceedings against him, on condition that the Director or Officer shall repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty is proved against him.

DRAG ALONG RIGHTS AND TAG ALONG RIGHTS

116.	(a)	The Company shall promptly give a written transaction notice to holders of Ordinary Class Shares with respect to any Approved Sale.

	(b)	The Company, acting by a resolution of its Board, shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice (the“Drag along notice”) to any holder of Ordinary Class Shares within thirty (30) Business Days after such holder of Ordinary Class Shares has been given notification by the Company of an Approved Sale, to compel such holder of Ordinary Class Shares to sell a Pro-Rata Portion of his shares to the party acquiring or that has acquired control of the Stratus Group in an Approved Sale on substantially the same material terms as those applicable to the sale of the ownership interest to such party in the transaction that constitutes such Approved Sale. If the Company does not exercise this right, the holder of Ordinary Class Shares shall have a one-time right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Days by giving written notice to the Company (the“Tag along notice”), to participate in the transaction that constitutes the Approved Sale and to sell a Pro Rata Portion of his shares on substantially the same material terms as those applicable to the sale of the ownership interest to the party acquiring or that has acquired control of the Stratus Group in the Approved Sale, and the Company shall take such actions as may be necessary to accommodate such participation or, if the Company is unable to do so, the Company shall have and shall exercise, or shall assign to any other Person which shall exercise, the right to purchase a Pro-Rata Portion of the shares on substantially the same material terms. As used herein,“Pro Rata Portion”means the percentage of the total ownership in the Stratus Group being acquired by the party acquiring or that has acquired control of the Stratus Group in the Approved Sale. Any sale of shares shall be deemed to be “on substantially the same material terms” if the value received by the holder of Ordinary Class Shares is the same as the value received by other shareholders, even if the form of consideration received by the holder of Ordinary Class Shares is cash rather than such other property as may be received by the other shareholders.

	(c)	If the Company delivers a Drag along notice or a holder of Ordinary Class Shares delivers a Tag along notice, the holder of Ordinary Class Shares shall cooperate with the Company and take all such actions as the Company may reasonably request to effect such Approved Sale as efficiently as possible. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the holder of Ordinary Class Shares shall enter into such agreements with the Company, its shareholders and any other parties to the transactions constituting the Approved Sale as the Company may reasonably request. For the avoidance of doubt, the compulsory transfer provisions contemplated by the Shareholders Agreement do not constitute an Approved Sale subject to the provisions of this Bye-law 116.

	(d)	The provisions of this Bye-law 116 shall (a) expire upon, and shall not apply to, an Initial Public Offering and (b) have no further effect following the implementation of the provisions of this Bye-law 116 in connection with an Approved Sale.

ALTERATION OF BYE-LAWS

5.6.When Discharge of Super Priority Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If concurrently with the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the Borrowers thereafter enter into any Refinancing of any Super Priority Loan Document evidencing a Super Priority Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of

Super Priority Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Super Priority Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the Super Priority Debt Notice is delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the Super Priority Loan Document shall automatically be treated as Super Priority Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the Super Priority Agent under such Super Priority Loan Documents shall be the Super Priority Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Borrower and the Super Priority Agent (the“Super Priority Debt Notice”) stating that the Borrowers have entered into a new Super Priority Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new Super Priority Agent, such agent, the“New Super Priority Agent”), each of the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrowers or such New Super Priority Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Super Priority Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Super Priority Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Super Priority Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Super Priority Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Super Priority Obligations under the new Super Priority Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Indenture Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, then the Indenture Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Collateral Documents and a third priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Document, as the case may be, and this Agreement.

5.7.When Discharge of Indenture Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If concurrently with the Discharge of Indenture Obligations, the Borrowers thereafter enter into any Refinancing of any Indenture Document evidencing an Indenture Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of Indenture Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Indenture Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the Indenture Debt Notice is delivered to the Second Priority Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the Indenture Document shall automatically be treated as Indenture Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the Collateral Agent under such Indenture Documents shall be the Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (the“Indenture Debt Notice”) stating that the Borrowers have entered into a new Indenture Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new Collateral Agent, such agent, the“New Collateral Agent”), the Second Priority Agent

shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrowers or such New Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Collateral Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Collateral Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral).

If the new Indenture Obligations under the new Indenture Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a third priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

5.8.Purchase Right. (a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any remedy of the Super Priority Claimholders, so long as a Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, any of the Noteholders may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Super Priority Agent, require the Super Priority Claimholders to transfer and assign to such Noteholders, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the Super Priority Obligations;provided, that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, and (y) such Noteholders shall have paid to the Super Priority Agent, for the account of the Super Priority Claimholders, in immediately available funds, an amount (such amount, the“Super Priority Purchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal of such Indebtednessplus all accrued and unpaid interest thereonplus all accrued and unpaid fees (other than any prepayment penalties or premiums (the“Super Priority Termination Fees”))plus all the other Super Priority Obligations then outstanding (which shall include, with respect to (i) the aggregate face amount of the letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 105% thereof, (ii) each Swap Agreement, 100% of the aggregate amount of such Super Priority Obligations, after giving effect to any netting arrangements, that the applicable Borrower or Grantor would be required to pay if such Swap Agreement were terminated at such time, and (iii) each agreement that evidences any Super Priority Cash Management Obligations, 100% of the aggregate amount of such Super Priority Obligations).

In order to effectuate the foregoing, the Super Priority Agent shall calculate, upon the written request of the Trustee (acting at the direction of one or more Noteholders) from time to time, the amount in cash that would be necessary so to purchase the Super Priority Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if one

or more Second Lien Claimholders elect to exercise their purchase option under Section 5.8(b) below and give the notice provided for therein, each Noteholder that exercised its purchase option under this Section 5.8(a) shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Section 5.8(a) and (B) if, at any time following the consummation of such transfer and assignment and the occurrence of the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations and the Discharge of Indenture Obligations (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment or termination of the Indenture Obligations), the Noteholders recover any Super Priority Termination Fees prior to the first anniversary of the date of such transfer and assignment is consummated, they shall turn over such fees to the Super Priority Claimholders in the form and to the extent received.

(b) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any remedy of the Super Priority Claimholders or the Indenture Claimholders, upon the occurrence and continuation of the acceleration prior to maturity of the Super Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Super Priority Loan Documents and of the Indenture Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Documents, any Second Lien Claimholder may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to the Borrowers, the Super Priority Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Second Priority Agent, require the Super Priority Claimholders and the Indenture Claimholders to transfer and assign to such Second Lien Claimholders, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the Super Priority Obligations and Indenture Obligations;providedthat (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, and (y) such Second Lien Claimholders shall have paid to the Super Priority Agent and the Trustee, for the account of the Super Priority Claimholders and the Indenture Claimholders, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to, (x) in respect of the Super Priority Obligations, the Super Priority Purchase Price and, (y) in respect of the Indenture Obligations, 100% of the principal of such Indebtedness plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus all accrued and unpaid fees (other than any prepayment penalties or premiums (the“Indenture Termination Fees”)) plus all other Super Priority Obligations and Indenture Obligations then outstanding. If the right set forth in this Section 5.8(b) is exercised, (1) the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten Business Days of the notice set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.8(b) (or the Super Priority Claimholders shall no longer be required to transfer any such Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Claimholders shall no longer be required to transfer any such Indenture Obligations), (2) such purchase of the Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Obligations shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Super Priority Agent, such Second Lien Claimholders, the Trustee (solely with respect to the Indenture Obligations owing to it) and a purchase agent appointed by the Noteholders, and (3) such Super Priority Obligations and such Indenture Obligations shall be purchased pro rata among the Second Lien Claimholders giving notice to the Second Priority Agent of their intent to exercise the purchase option hereunder according to such Second Lien Claimholders’ portion of the Second Lien Obligations outstanding on the date of purchase. In order to effectuate the foregoing, the Super Priority Agent and the Trustee will each calculate, upon the written request of the Second Priority Agent (acting at the direction of one or more Second Lien Claimholders) from time to time, the amount in cash that would be necessary so to purchase the Super Priority Obligations and/or the Indenture

Obligations, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, at any time following the consummation of such transfer and assignment and the occurrence of the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the Discharge of Indenture Obligations and the payment in full in cash of the Second Lien Obligations (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment or termination of the Second Lien Obligations), the Second Lien Claimholders recover any Super Priority Termination Fees or any Indenture Termination Fees prior to the first anniversary of the date of such transfer and assignment is consummated, they shall turn over such fees to the Super Priority Claimholders or the Indenture Claimholders, as applicable, in the form and to the extent received. In connection with any purchase of Indenture Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Indenture Obligations (other than the amount necessary to purchase such obligations) and shall not be deemed to be participating in any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

To the extent the Liens securing the Super Priority Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) above, each of the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Agent shall be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto).

(i) if the Super Priority Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then each of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Super Priority Liens on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Indenture Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Super Priority Obligations under this Agreement; and

6.3) or the asserting by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Loan Documents or otherwise.

(a) If any Super Priority Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrowers or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of Super Priority Obligations (a“Super Priority Recovery”), then such Super Priority Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Super Priority Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.

this purpose (x) ignoring all claims held by the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders, with respect to payments to the Super Priority Claimholders and (y) ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to payments to the Indenture Claimholders), (A) the Super Priority Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Indenture Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, and (B) after such payments to the Super Priority Claimholders, the Indenture Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Indenture, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with each of the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Super Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Super Priority Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (with respect to the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Indenture Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable); or (ii) after the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the claims of the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the Indenture Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Indenture, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (with respect to the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders.
