6.2	The Issuer’s Shareholder shall procure that each Bondholder is offered in respect of each Bond held by it, and each Bondholder shall accept, that number of Globis Shares determined under clause 6.1 on the Conversion Date.
6.3	The conversion of the Bonds under this clause 6 shall be made by the following simultaneous transactions:

 

	(a)	the novation from the Issuer to Globis of the entirety of the Issuer’s liabilities and obligations towards the Bondholders in respect of principal, interest and otherwise under and in respect of the Bonds (the Novated Obligations), and the assumption by Globis of the Novated Obligations, pursuant to the due execution and unconditional delivery of a deed of novation (the Deed of Novation) by the Issuer, acting for itself (as novator) and on behalf of the Bondholders (as creditors consenting to the novation of the Novated Obligations as aforesaid), and Globis (as novatee) in such form as shall be agreed between the Issuer and Globis; anddd
	(b)	the conversion of the Novated Obligations into Globis Shares by Globis cancelling the Bonds and the Bondholders accepting such cancellation in consideration for the issue of the Globis Shares on the Conversion Date; and the issue to the Bondholders of such number of Globis Shares at the Conversion Price as shall correspond to the principal amount (plus accrued interest up to the Conversion Date) of the Bonds registered in their names and upon the execution of those transactions the Novated Obligations shall be deemed to have been cancelled and thereafter to be of no effect.

 

 

6.4	The Subscribers jointly and severally hereby unconditionally and irrevocably consent to and agree with the novation of the Novated Obligations.
6.5	The parties, whether at the date of this Deed or at any time thereafter and at their own expense, shall promptly (and shall procure that any third party shall) do, execute and perform all such further deeds, documents, assurances, leases, acts and do all and any such other things as any other party to this Deed may reasonably require in order to give full effect to the novation of the Novated Obligations.
6.6	The Issuer’s Shareholder undertakes that for so long as the Bonds remain outstanding and prior to the DE-SPAC Longstop Date:

 

	(a)	it will use reasonable commercial efforts to procure that Globis shall not alter the rights attached to its ordinary shares in any way which would adversely affect the rights of the Bondholders without the prior consent of the Majority Bondholders; and
	(b)	it will notify each Bondholder as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware that Globis has resolved to implement an Adjustment Event specifying the prospective date of the Adjustment Event and the proposed terms of it.

 

6.7	Following an Adjustment Event, the Issuer’s Shareholder’s auditors or other professional advisors shall certify to the Bondholder(s) in writing the adjustments to the number and nominal value of the Globis Shares to be exchanged for the Bonds so that, after such adjustment and on that exchange, the Bondholders shall receive the same percentage of the issued share capital of Globis carrying the same proportion of votes exercisable at a general meeting of Issuer’s Shareholders and the same entitlement to participate in distributions, in each case as nearly as practicable, as would have been the case had no Adjustment Event occurred.
6.8	No exchange of the Bonds for Globis Shares under this clause 6 shall take place if the DE-SPAC Transaction shall not have occurred on or before the DE-SPAC Longstop Date.
6.9	In the event that the Globis Shares issued pursuant to this Deed are not registered in connection with the consummation of the DE-SPAC Transaction, Globis has agreed that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the DE-SPAC Transaction Date, it will file with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Globis Shares issued pursuant to this Deed (the Registration Statement), and that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. Globis has also agreed to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Globis Shares issued pursuant to this Deed, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the DE-SPAC Transaction Date, (ii) the date on which the Subscribers cease to hold any Globis Shares issued pursuant to this Deed, or (iii) on the first date on which the Subscribers are able to sell all of the Globis Shares issued to them pursuant to this Deed (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold. Each Subscriber agrees to fully, promptly, truthfully and accurately disclose its legal and ultimate beneficial ownership and all other pertinent details of the Subscriber relating to the Globis Shares it owns to Globis upon request to assist Globis in making the determination described above. Globis may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or F-3, as applicable) at such time after Globis becomes eligible to use such Form S-3 (or F-3, as applicable). Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Globis may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Globis’s obligations to include the Globis Shares issued to each Subscriber pursuant to this Deed (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing and fully, promptly, truthfully and accurately to Globis such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of Globis held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of such Globis Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by Globis to effect the registration of such Globis Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Globis may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. The Issuer’s Shareholder shall procure that Globis shall deliver the Acknowledgement to each Subscriber as soon as practicable after the Issuer’s Shareholder enters into a definitive agreement with Globis regarding the DE-SPAC Transaction.

7.1	Interest shall accrue and be payable on each Bond in accordance with the Conditions.

4.3	The entitlement of the Bondholder(s) to fractions of Globis Shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Globis Shares.
5.	Transfer
5.1	The Issuer shall recognise the registered holder(s) of the Bonds as the absolute owner of them and shall not, except as provided by statute or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, be bound to take notice of any trust, express, implied or constructive, to which any Bond may be subject.
5.2	The Bonds are transferable, with the prior consent of the Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld), minimum amounts of US$ 100,000 and, above that amount, in integral multiples of USD $25,000 by instrument in writing in the usual common form and such instrument need not be under seal.
5.3	Each instrument of transfer shall be signed by the transferor, and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the owner of the Bonds to be transferred until the name of the transferee is entered in the register in respect of such Bonds.
5.4	Each instrument of transfer shall be sent to, or left for registration at, the registered office of the Issuer for the time being, and shall be accompanied by the Certificate(s) for the Bonds to be transferred and any other evidence that the Issuer may require to prove the title of the transferor or his right to transfer the Bonds (and, if such instrument is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person to do so). All instruments of transfer that are registered may be retained by the Issuer.
5.5	Payment of the principal amount and all accrued interest on the Bonds shall be made by bank transfer to an account nominated for that purpose to the Issuer in writing by the registered holder or, in the case of joint registered holders, to the one who is first-named on the register.
6.	Meetings of Bondholders
6.1	The provisions of this Clause 6 shall have effect only if and for so long as there is more than one Bondholder.
6.2	The Issuer may at any time convene a meeting of the holders of Bonds issued by it (in this clause 6 only the Bondholders). In addition, the Issuer shall at the written request of the holders of not less than one-tenth in nominal amount of the outstanding Bonds convene a meeting of the Bondholders. Any meeting shall be held at such place as the Issuer may designate.

 

 

6.3	At least 14 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is served or deemed to be served and of the day for which notice is given) of every meeting shall be given to the Bondholders. The notice shall specify the place, day and time of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted, but it shall not be necessary (except in the case of a Special Resolution) to specify in the notice the terms of any resolution to be proposed. A meeting of the Bondholders shall, despite being called at shorter notice than specified above, be deemed to have been duly called if it is agreed in writing by all of the Bondholders.
6.4	At any meeting the quorum shall be Bondholders holding, or representing by proxy, at least 25% in nominal amount of the outstanding Bonds. No business (other than choosing a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum is present.
6.5	If a quorum is not present, within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved if it was convened on the requisition of Bondholders. In any other case, it shall stand adjourned to such day and time (at least 14 days later, but not more than 28 days later) and to such place as may be appointed by the Chairman. At such adjourned meeting, two Bondholders present in person (or by proxy) and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum (whatever the nominal amount of the Bonds held by them). At least 14 days’ notice of any adjourned meeting of Bondholders shall be given (in the same manner mutatis mutandis as for an original meeting). That notice shall state that any 2 Bondholders present in person (or by proxy) at the adjourned meeting (whatever the nominal amount of Bonds held by them) shall form a quorum.
6.6	A person (who may but need not be a Bondholder) nominated by the Issuer shall be entitled to take the chair at every such meeting but, if no such person is nominated or if the person so nominated is not present at the meeting within 30 minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Bondholders present in person or by proxy shall choose one of their number to be Chairman. Any director or officer of the Issuer, and the Issuer’s solicitors and any other person authorised in that behalf by the Issuer may attend at any such meeting.
6.7	Each question submitted to a meeting of Bondholders shall, unless a poll is demanded, be decided by a show of hands.
6.8	At any meeting of Bondholders unless a poll is demanded by the Chairman or by one or more Bondholders present in person or by proxy and holding or representing in the aggregate more than 50% in nominal amount of the outstanding Bonds (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands), a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried by the requisite majority, lost or not carried by the requisite majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.
6.9	If a poll is duly demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as set out below) either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman directs. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting from continuing for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

 

 

6.10	If there is an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a casting vote in addition to the vote(s) (if any) to which he may be entitled as a Bondholder or as a proxy.
6.11	The Chairman may, with the consent of (and shall if so directed by) any meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business that might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
6.12	Any poll demanded at any meeting on the election of a Chairman, or on any question of adjournment, shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment.
6.13	On a show of hands, each Bondholder who is an individual and is present in person or (being a corporation) is present by its duly authorised representative or by one of its officers as its proxy, shall have one vote. On a poll, each Bondholder present in person or by proxy, shall have one vote for every USD $1 nominal of Bonds held by him and a person entitled to more than one vote need not (if he votes) use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.
6.14	In the case of joint registered Bondholders any one of them shall be entitled to vote in respect of such Bonds either in person or by proxy and, in the latter case, as if the joint holder were solely entitled to such Bonds. If more than one joint holder is present at any meeting either personally or by proxy that one joint holder so present whose name as between himself and the other or others present stands first in the register as one of the joint holders shall alone be entitled to vote in person or by proxy.
6.15	Each instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing and duly executed by the appointor or his duly authorised attorney or, in the case of a corporation under its common seal or duly executed by a duly authorised attorney or officer. The Chairman may (but shall not be bound to) require evidence of the authority of any attorney or officer. A proxy need not be a Bondholder.
6.16	An instrument of proxy shall be in the usual or common form or in any other form that the directors may accept. The proxy shall be deemed to include the right to demand or join in demanding a poll. A proxy shall, unless stated otherwise, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates and need not be witnessed.
6.17	The instrument appointing a proxy, and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or authority, shall be deposited at the place specified in (or in any document accompanying) the notice convening the meeting. If no such place is specified, the proxy shall be deposited at the registered office of the Issuer not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting or for taking of the poll at which the person named in that instrument proposes to vote. In default, the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy is given, unless notification in writing of the revocation has been received at the registered office of the Issuer or at such other place (if any) specified for the deposit of instruments of proxy in the notice convening the meeting (or any document accompanying it) 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting or the taking of the poll at which the vote is given.

 

 

6.18	A decision required by the Deed to be made by the Majority Bondholders may only be made in accordance with this clause 6.18 or clause 6.19. Special Resolution passed at a meeting of the Bondholders shall be binding on all the Bondholders whether or not they are present at the meeting. Each of the Bondholders shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The term Special Resolution, when used in the Conditions, means a resolution passed at a meeting of the Bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with the Conditions, which is required is carried by the Majority Bondholders upon a poll.
6.19	A resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the Majority Bondholders shall, for all purposes, be as valid and effectual as a Special Resolution passed at a meeting duly convened and held in accordance with the Conditions. Such resolution in writing may be contained in one document or in several documents in similar form, each signed by one or more Bondholders.
6.20	Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting shall be made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Issuer. Any minutes, if purporting to be signed by the Chairman of the meeting or by the Chairman of the next succeeding meeting of the Bondholders, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters stated in them. Until the contrary is proved, every meeting for which minutes have been made and signed shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened, and all resolutions passed at the meeting to have been duly passed.
7.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
7.1	If more than one person is entered in the register as joint holders of any Bonds the receipt of any one of such holders for any moneys payable on or in respect of the Bonds shall be as effective a discharge to the Issuer or other person making the payment as if the person signing such receipt were the sole registered holder of such Bonds.
7.2	If any Certificate is worn out or defaced then, on production of it to the directors of the Issuer, they may cancel it and may issue a fresh Certificate in lieu. If any Certificate is lost or destroyed it may be replaced on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require. An entry recording the issue of the new Certificate and indemnity (if any) shall be made in the Register of Bondholders. No fee shall be charged for the registration of any transfer or for the registration of any probate, letters of administration, certificate of marriage or death, power of attorney or other documents relating to or effecting title to any Bonds.
7.3	Any notice, consent or other document required to be given under this Instrument shall be in writing and may be given to or served on any Bondholder by sending it by first-class post in a prepaid envelope addressed to such Bondholder at his registered address. In the case of joint Bondholders, a notice given to, or document served on, the Bondholder whose name stands first in the register in respect of such Bonds shall be sufficient notice to, or service on, all the joint holders. Any such notice sent or document served by first-class post shall be deemed to have been given or served 48 hours or 96 hours in the case of a notice or document sent to an address for a Bondholder not in the United Kingdom after the time when it is posted and in proving such notice or service, it shall be sufficient to prove that the envelope containing the notice or document was properly addressed, stamped and posted.
7.4	Any notice or other document delivered or sent by post to, or left at, the registered address of any Bondholder in pursuance of these provisions shall, notwithstanding that such Bondholder is then dead or bankrupt or in liquidation, and whether or not the Issuer has notice of his death or bankruptcy or liquidation, be deemed to have been duly served or delivered in respect of any Bonds registered in the name of such Bondholder as sole or first-named joint holder unless his name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document have been removed from the register as the holder of the Bonds, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed sufficient service of such notice or document on all persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the Bonds.
