immediately after the Closing, before payment of the expenses set forth in clauses (b) through (e) of Section 8.19 (or any obligations incurred by any SM Party that may become obligations of ID Cayman as a result of the Closing), provided, however, that (w) the purchase price per Ideation Share is not more than $9.00; (x) the Sponsor Purchase Commitment Amount is used solely to purchase Ideation Shares and is not applied to any transaction cost related to such purchase, other than normal brokerage fees; (y) such Sponsor Purchases are conducted in compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable Legal Requirements; and (z) the aggregate amount of such Sponsor Purchases shall be disclosed to the holders of Ideation Shares in an appropriate filing with the SEC one (1) business day before the Stockholders Meeting. To the extent that the Sponsor Entity, through itself, its Affiliates or Non-Affiliate Purchasers has not otherwise satisfied the Sponsor Purchase Commitment Amount on or prior to the Reference Date, the Sponsor Entity, through itself, its Affiliates or Non-Affiliate Purchasers may satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section prior to the Closing by delivering into an escrow account irrevocable written notices to exercise all or any of their respective Ideation Warrants that are “Public Warrants” (as defined in the Warrant Agreement related thereto) to be effective immediately after the Closing (each, a “Warrant Purchase”), together with the cash exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to such Ideation Warrants in an amount up to the difference between the dollar amount of Sponsor Purchases and the Sponsor Purchase Commitment Amount. The escrow account shall be established with an escrow agent and on terms and conditions mutually agreeable to Ideation and the SM Shareholders’ Representatives, provided that the cash exercise price so delivered shall be released to ID Cayman upon written notice from the SM Shareholders’ Representatives following the Closing, at which time the shares underlying such warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) shall be issued to the Persons who have so elected such exercise (each, a “Sponsor Warrant Holder”). Alternatively, to the extent that the Sponsor Entity, through itself, its Affiliates or Non-Affiliate Purchasers, is unable to make sufficient Sponsor Purchases of Acquired Shares or Warrant Purchases to satisfy the Sponsor Purchase Commitment Amount for any reason, Ideation agrees to sell shares of Ideation Common Stock (which shall also be deemed to be “Acquired Shares” for purposes of this Article XII) to the Sponsor Entity, its Affiliates or Non-Affiliate Purchasers for a price per share equal to $7.8815 in such number as necessary to remedy such shortfall, and the Sponsor Entity shall not be in breach of this section to the extent it so remedies such shortfall pursuant to such purchases within ten (10) business days after the Closing. Such purchases shall be made pursuant to a purchase agreement in reasonable and customary form and substance for a transaction of such nature, which shall include customary registration rights with respect to the shares acquired, which rights shall be pari passu with other registration rights granted to holders of ID Cayman Securities. The Sponsor Entity agrees to promptly provide reasonable supporting evidence of its compliance with the provisions of this Article XII, upon request by an SM Shareholders’ Representative.”

The exercise price per whole ID Cayman Share of such New Warrants shall be US$7.8815, and the aggregate number of shares underlying such New Warrants shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Such issuance shall be conditioned upon the execution and delivery by the holder of such an Acquired Share or Sponsor Warrant Holder of a purchase agreement in reasonable and customary form and substance for a transaction of such nature, which shall include customary registration rights with respect to the ID Cayman Shares underlying such New Warrants, which rights shall be pari passu with other registration rights granted to holders of ID Cayman Securities. Each holder of Acquired Shares and each Sponsor Warrant Holder shall be a third-party beneficiary to this provision for so long as he or it holds any Acquired Shares or is in escrow pursuant to Section 12.10 (a) with respect to any Warrant Shares.”

13. Section 13.1(e) of the SEA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Adopted on [    l    ], 2009 by a special resolution of the Members and effective immediately upon the registration of the company as a Cayman Islands company limited by shares.

 

1. In these Articles, Table A in the Schedule to the Statute does not apply and, unless there be something in the subject or context inconsistent therewith, the following defined terms shall have the meanings assigned to them as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Words importing the singular number only include the plural number and vice versa.

 

Words importing one gender only include the other gender and the neuter.

 

Words importing persons only include corporations.

 

PRELIMINARY

 

2. The business of the Company may be commenced as soon after incorporation as the Directors shall see fit, notwithstanding that part only of the Shares may have been allotted.

 

3. The registered office of the Company shall be at such address in the Cayman Islands as the Directors shall from time to time determine. The Company may in addition establish and maintain such other offices and places of business and agencies in such places as the Directors may from time to time determine.

 

4. The Directors may pay, out of the capital or any other monies of the Company, all expenses incurred in or about the formation and establishment of the Company including the expenses of registration.

 

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES

 

5. Certificates representing Shares of the Company shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Directors. Such certificates may be under Seal. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. The name and address of the Person to whom the Shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of Shares and date of issue, shall be entered in the register of Members of the Company. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled. The Directors may authorize certificates to be issued with the Seal and authorised signature(s) affixed by some method or system of mechanical process.

 

6. Notwithstanding Article 5 of these Articles, if a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on payment of a fee of one dollar (US$l.00) or such lesser sum and on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of the expenses incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe.

 

ISSUE OF SHARES

 

7. Subject to applicable law, rules, regulations and the relevant provisions, if any, in the Memorandum of Association and these Articles and to any direction that may be given by the Company in general meeting and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing Shares, the Directors may, in their absolute discretion and without the approval of the holders of the Company’s outstanding Shares, cause the Company to issue such additional Shares (whether in certificated form or non-certificated form), or

issue other securities, in one or more classes or series as they deem necessary and appropriate and determine designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater or more advantageous than the powers and rights associated with the then outstanding Shares, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper. The Company shall not issue Shares or other Securities in bearer form.

 

8. The Board may reserve such number of Shares or Securities of the Company as the Board may be required to issue in connection with the exercise of an option, right, or warrant or other Security of the Company or any other person (each a “Conversion Right”) that is exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise issuable in respect of Shares or Securities of the Company. For these purposes, to “reserve” a number of Shares shall mean that at the relevant time, such number of Shares shall be authorised but unissued, and the Board shall not issue such Shares otherwise than pursuant to the exercise.

 

REGISTER OF MEMBERS AND SHARE CERTIFICATES

 

9. The Company shall maintain a Register of Members and every Person whose name is entered as a Member in the Register of Members shall, without payment, be entitled to receive within two (2) months after allotment or lodgment of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide) one certificate for all his or her or its Shares or several certificates each for one or more of his or her or its Shares upon payment of fifty cents (US$0.50) for every certificate after the first or such lesser sum as the Directors shall from time to time determine. All certificates shall specify the Share or Shares held by that person and par value of such Shares, provided that, 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 delivery of a certificate for a Share to one of the several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders. All certificates for Shares shall be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the Member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address as appearing in the Register of Members.

 

10. Every share certificate of the Company shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the Securities Act.

12. If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request subject to delivery of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

 

13. In the event that Shares are held jointly by several persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

 

ORDINARY SHARES

 

14. Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of, to attend and to speak and vote at, any general meeting of the Company.

 

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

15. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of 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. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares.

 

16. All instruments of transfer of Shares that have been registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same.

 

REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

 

17. Subject to the Statute, these Articles, and the Memorandum of Association, the Company may:

(b) purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine provided that the Members shall have authorised the manner of purchase by Ordinary Resolution or the manner of purchase shall be in accordance with Articles 18 and 19 (which shall constitute authorisation for the purposes of and in accordance with section 37(3)(d) of the Statute); provided however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Member authorisation shall be required with respect to any purchase of Shares which occurs pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated as of August [  ], 2009 by and among Ideation Acquisition Corp. and certain investors listed on Exhibit A thereto; and

 

(c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including without limitation out of its capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares.

 

18. The Company is authorised to purchase, on behalf of the Company, any Share listed on a Designated Stock Exchange in accordance with the following manner of purchase:

 

(a) the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased shall be equal to the number of issued and outstanding Shares less one Share; and

 

(b) the purchase shall be at such time, at such price and on such other terms as determined and agreed by the Directors in their sole discretion provided however that:

 

(i) such purchase transactions shall be in accordance with the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Designated Stock Exchange; and

 

(ii) at the time of the repurchase, the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of its business.

 

19. The holder of the Shares being purchased or redeemed shall be bound to deliver up to the Company at its registered office or such other place as the Directors shall specify, the certificate(s) (if any) thereof for cancellation and thereupon the Company shall pay to him the purchase or redemption monies or consideration in respect thereof and the Shares being purchased or redeemed shall be cancelled or shall form part of the authorised but unissued capital of the Company.

 

20. Any Share in respect of which a notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.

 

21. The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not oblige the Company to redeem or purchase of any other Share other than as may be required pursuant to applicable law and any other contractual obligations of the Company.

22. The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie.

 

VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES

 

23.

 

(a) Subject to any other provisions contained herein, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different Classes or series of Shares, the rights attached to any Class or series (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class or series) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the Issued Shares of that Class or series.

 

(b) The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply to every such general meeting of the holders of one Class of Shares except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding or representing by proxy at least half of the Issued Shares of the Class and that any holder of Shares of the Class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

 

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

 

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

 

25. The Company may in so far as the Statute from time to time permits pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his or her or its subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares of the Company. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgment of fully or partly Paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

 

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

 

26. No Person shall be recognized by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognize (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 is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

LIEN ON SHARES

 

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

 

28. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a 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 such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of the Share, or the Person, of which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of such Person’s death or bankruptcy.

29. To give effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorize a 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 the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall the title of the purchaser to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

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

 

CALL ON SHARES

 

31.

 

(a) The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the Shares or by way of premium or otherwise) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed terms, provided that no call shall be payable at less than one (1) month from the date fixed for the payment of the last preceding call, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be made payable by installments.

 

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

 

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

 

32. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on a day appointed for payment thereof, the Persons 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 such rate not exceeding ten per cent per annum as the Directors may determine, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest either wholly or in part.

 

33. Any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium or otherwise, shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in the case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Articles 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.

 

34. The Directors may, on the issue of Shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls or interest to be paid and the times of payment.

 

35.

 

(a) The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would but for such advances, become payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting shall otherwise direct) seven per cent per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance.

 

(b) No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

36.

 

(a) If a Member fails to pay any call or installment of a call or to make any payment required by the terms of issue on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call, installment or payment remains unpaid, give notice requiring payment of so much of the call, installment or payment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Such notice shall name a day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen (14) days from the date of giving of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which such notice was given will be liable to be forfeited.

 

(b) If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited Share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

 

(c) A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

37. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture were payable by such Person to the Company in respect of the Shares together with interest thereon, but such Person’s liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the Shares.

 

38. A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or the Secretary of the Company that a Share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the fact therein stated as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The Company may receive the consideration given for the Share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and such Person 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 such Person’s title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

 

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

 

REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS

 

40. The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding one dollar (US$l.00) on the registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instrument.

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

41. In 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 the deceased was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his or her or its interest in the Shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any Shares which had been held by him or her solely or jointly with other Persons.

42.

 

(a) Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself or herself as holder of the Share or to make such transfer of the Share to such other Person nominated by such Person as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made and to have such Person 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 a transfer of the Share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy as the case may be.

 

(b) If the Person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered as holder, such Person shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by such Person stating that such Person so elects.

 

43. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which such Person would be entitled if such Person were the registered holder of the Share, except that such Person shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company, provided however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered or to transfer the Share and if the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

OF REGISTERED OFFICE & ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

 

44.

 

(a) Subject to and in so far as permitted by the provisions of the Statute and these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution alter or amend its Memorandum of Association otherwise than with respect to its name and objects and may, without restricting the generality of the foregoing:

 

(i) increase the share capital by such sum to be divided into Shares of such amount or without nominal or par value as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

 

(ii) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

 

(iii) by subdivision of its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association or into Shares without nominal or par value;

 

(iv) cancel any Shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person; and

 

(v) increase or decrease the number of the authorised Ordinary Shares.

 

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

 

(c) Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by Special Resolution change its name or alter its objects.

 

(d) Without prejudice to Article 23(a) hereof and subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund.

(e) Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its registered office.

 

CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

 

45. For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Directors of the Company may provide that the register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period but not to exceed in any case forty (40) days. If the register of Members shall be so closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members such register shall be so closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the register of Members.

 

46. In lieu of or apart from closing the register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members and for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within ninety (90) days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.

 

47. If the register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

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

50. At least five (5) days notice shall be given by the Board of Directors of an annual general meeting or any other general meeting to the Members whose names on the date of the notice appear as a shareholder in the register of Members of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting. Every notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given or deemed to be given and of the day for which it is given and shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this regulation has been given and whether or not the provisions of Article 52 have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

 

(a) in the case of a general meeting called as an annual general meeting by all the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat or their proxies; and

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

 

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

 

52. A general meeting shall be deemed duly constituted if, at the commencement of and throughout the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy the holder(s) of (i) at least fifty percent (50%) of all Shares carrying an entitlement to vote in issue provided always that if the Company has one Member of record the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy.

54. If within one (1) 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 and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven (7) Business Days later or such other place as the Directors may determine and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Members present shall be a quorum.

 

55. The general meeting of the Company may be held and any Member may participate in such meeting, by means of a conference telephone or similar communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting are capable of hearing each other; and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at that meeting.

 

56. The Chairman, if any, of the Board of Directors shall preside as Chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such Chairman, or if such Chairman shall not be present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be Chairman of the meeting.

When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting; save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned general meeting.

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

 

61. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

 

62. Except as provided herein, if a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

63. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the general meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

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

66. In the case of joint holders of record the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of Members.

 

67. A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by such Member’s committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other Person in the nature of a committee, receiver or curator bonis appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other persons may vote by proxy.

69. No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at such general meeting shall be valid for all purposes.

70. On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

 

PROXIES

72. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at such place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting no later than the time for holding the meeting, or adjourned meeting provided that the Chairman of the Meeting may at his or her discretion direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited upon receipt of telex, cable or telecopy confirmation from the appointor that the instrument of proxy duly signed is in the course of transmission to the Company.

 

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

 

74. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given provided that no intimation in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer as aforesaid shall have been received by the Company at the registered office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

 

75. Any corporation which is a Member of record of the Company may in accordance with its Articles or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its Directors or other governing body authorize such Person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any Class or series of Members of the Company, and the Person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which such Person represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member of record of the Company.

115. Subject to the rights of Persons, if any, entitled to Shares with special rights as to dividends or distributions, if dividends or distributions are to be declared on a class of Shares, they shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares of such class outstanding on the record date for such dividend or distribution, as determined in accordance with these Articles.

in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalization, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).

“At the time the Corporation seeks approval of the Initial Business Combination in accordance with paragraph C above, each holder of IPO Shares (each a “Public Stockholder”) may, at its option, in accordance with the terms of this Section, convert its IPO Shares into cash at a per share conversion price (the “Conversion Price”), calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Initial Business Combination, equal to (A) the amount in the Trust Account, inclusive of (x) the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the sale of the Insider Warrants, (y) the amount held in the Trust Account representing the Deferred Underwriting Compensation and (z) any interest income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable, that is not released to the Corporation to cover its operating expenses in accordance with paragraph B above, divided by (B) the number of IPO Shares outstanding on the date of calculation (including shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, if any). If a majority of the shares voted by the Public Stockholders are voted to approve the Initial Business Combination, and if Public Stockholders owning less than 30% of the total IPO Shares both (1) vote against approval of the proposed Initial Business Combination and (2) elect to convert their shares, the Corporation will proceed with such Initial Business Combination. If the Corporation so proceeds, subject to the availability of lawful funds therefor, the Corporation will convert IPO Shares held by those Public Stockholders who have voted such IPO Shares, either in person or by proxy, for or against the Initial Business Combination, regardless of whether such IPO Shares were voted for or against the Initial Business Combination, and in connection with voting such shares, have affirmatively elected to convert such IPO Shares into cash at the Conversion Price. Only Public Stockholders shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account in connection with the approval of an Initial Business Combination, and the Corporation shall pay no distributions with respect to any other holders or shares of capital stock of the Corporation. If Public Stockholders holding 30% or more of the IPO Shares vote against approval of the proposed Initial Business Combination and elect to convert their IPO Shares, the Corporation will not proceed with such Initial Business Combination and will not convert any IPO Shares.”
