a pro rata portion of such shares based on the number or

shares then held by the Investor relative to the total shares

outstanding (on a Ordinary Shares equivalent basis including

will each enter into a Shares restriction agreement with the

Company with respect to the approximately [?] shares of

Founder for such shares, and (c) the Company will have a

right of first refusal to purchase shares of Restricted Shares

in the event of any voluntary or involuntary transfer, other

Co-Sale Rights:The Investor will have the right to participate on a pro rata

basis in transfers of Shares for value by Founders [and other

investors], and a right of first refusal on such transfers, after

the Company’s right of first refusal. Such rights will

terminate upon an IPO.

the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the Investor

shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any

distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the

corporation to the holders of Ordinary Shares of the

corporation, an amount equal to the investment amount, plus

a further amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid

on such shares. If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or

winding up of the corporation, the assets of the corporation

are insufficient to provide for the cash payment described

above to the Investor, such assets as are available shall be

paid to the Investor on a pro rata basis.

After the payment or setting apart of payment to the Investor

of the preferential amounts so payable to the Investor, the

holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive pro

rata the remaining assets of the corporation.

or any other corporate reorganization, in which the

of the corporation's voting power immediately after such

consolidation, merger or reorganization, or a sale, lease or

disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the

corporation, or a transaction or series of related transactions

in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company

is disposed of, shall be deemed to be a liquidation,

dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this term

Douglas Cumming and Sofia Johan, Venture Capital and and shall be treated in substantially the same manner as a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up for the purposes of the liquidation preference. A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any non-corporate business entity or a sale, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to such an entity shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this term and shall be treated in substantially the same manner as a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up for the purposes of the liquidation preference.

Exclusivity: The Company will not negotiate with, or offer or sell any of

its securities to any person or entity other than VCPE Fund I

Limited Partnership for a period of 45 days from the

Company's acceptance of this memorandum. Confidentiality: The Company recognizes that the terms of this memorandum

are confidential and that disclosure of these terms could

cause irreparable harm to VCPE Fund I Limited Partnership

and the Fund Manager.

due diligence including legal review of all pertinent
