	(i)		Standard Bank shall first sell, transfer or assign any unpurchased Put Shares to any third party notwithstanding the provisions in Clauses [2.1, 2.2, and 2.3] of the Shareholders’ Agreement; and

(b) Preemption Rights. Each Member shall have the right to purchase a pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of New Securities that the Company may, from time to time propose to sell and issue.

	(i)		In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Member written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Member shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (the “Preemption Cut-Off Date”) to agree to purchase up to its pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. If a Member fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of the New Securities, each of the other participating Members may exercise an additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the participating Members), the New Securities not previously purchased.
	(ii)		If some (but not all) of the Members do not elect to purchase their pro rata portion of such New Securities by the Preemption Cut-Off Date, each of the participating Members shall have the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Preemption Cut-Off Date (the last day of which shall be the “Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the New Securities not purchased by the participating Members pursuant to Article 6(b)(i) pro rata (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the other participating Members).
	(iii)		If none of the Members have exercised their right to purchase the New Securities by the end of the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the collective participating Members have not offered to purchase all of the New Securities by the end of the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (such unpurchased New Securities, the “Remaining New Securities”), then the Company may sell all (but not less than all) of the Remaining New Securities to a third Person.
	(iv)		Regardless of whether the Members exercise their preemption rights granted under this Article 6(b) by the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (as the case may be), the Company shall have sixty (60) days after the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date to sell (or enter into an agreement pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date of said agreement) the New Securities at a price and upon terms no more favourable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Members, provided that such purchaser(s) shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and shall thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of these Articles. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within such 60-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) days from the date of such agreement) the Company shall not thereunder issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Members in the manner provided above. The completion of the sale of New Securities to the participating Members and other purchasers shall occur simultaneously.

SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES

7. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon the Series A Preferred Shares and the holders thereof are as follows:

	(a)		Voting Rights. Except as required by law or as provided to the contrary herein, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares and the holders of the Ordinary Shares shall for voting purposes be deemed to be members of the same class of share capital and shall vote together. Each Series A Preferred Share shall have such number of votes equal to the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares is convertible at the time the vote is taken.
	(b)		Dividends. The Series A Preferred Shares shall accrue dividends as determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to participate pro rata in any dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares on an as-if-converted basis, in which case, the Series A Preferred Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof the right, in priority to any rights of the holders of any other class of Shares (including the Ordinary Shares), to receive such dividends.
	(c)		Liquidation Preference.

	(i)		In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or funds of the Company to the holders of any other class of shares of the Company ranked junior to the Series A Preferred Shares (including the Ordinary Shares) by reason of such holder’s ownership thereof, the greater of: (A) the sum of (x) the Series A Preferred Shares Purchase Price (as adjusted for any share dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations or the like on, of or affecting the Series A Preferred Shares), for each Series A Preferred Share then held by such holder and (y) any and all declared but unpaid dividends on each such Series A Preferred Shares and (B) such amount per Series A Preferred Share as would have been payable had all Series A Preferred Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (such amount payable, the “Liquidation Preference”). If, upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Liquidation Preference, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares in proportion to the Liquidation Preference each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive. If any holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed to have converted Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Series A Preferred Shares that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into Ordinary Shares.
	(ii)		After the payment of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, the remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Ordinary Shares.
	(iii)		Unless the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall elect or determine otherwise by written consent, a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person in which the holders of the Shares as of immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not continue to hold at least a fifty percent (50%) interest in the surviving entity or a Trade Sale shall be deemed to be a liquidation for purposes of payment of the Liquidation Preference and shall entitle the holders of the Series A

12

Preferred Shares to receive in cash, securities or other property (with any non-cash amounts being valued as provided in Article 7(c)(iv)) in the amounts specified in Article 7(c)(i) and (ii).

(iv) Subject to the following provisions of this Article 7(c)(iv), the value of any assets, securities or other property (other than cash) to be received by the Members pursuant to Articles 7(c)(i), 7(c)(ii) and/or 7(c)(iii), shall be equal to the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board, if any (taking into account, if applicable, any restrictions on the free marketability of such assets, securities or other property, arising under applicable securities laws or otherwise, other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a Member’s status as an Affiliate of the Company or the entity surviving or resulting from a change of control of the Company), except that any securities to be distributed to Members of the Company in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or a change of control of the Company, shall be valued as follows.

(A) The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:

	(I)		if the securities are then traded on a Recognised Stock Exchange (or a similar national quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution;
	(II)		if the securities are then actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and
	(III)		if there is no active public market for the securities, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subparagraphs (A)(I), (A)(II), or (A)(III) of this Article 7(c)(iv) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

(d) Conversion of Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares. The Series A Preferred Shares shall have conversion rights into Ordinary Shares as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

	(i)		Each Series A Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, into such number of fully paid Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the Original Conversion Price applicable to such Series A Preferred Shares by the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Conversion Rate for each Series A Preferred Share shall be 1.00 and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described below.
	(ii)		Each Series A Preferred Share shall automatically convert (or if automatic conversion is not legally possible, then each holder thereof shall request the conversion of its Series A Preferred Snares) into such number of fully paid Ordinary Shares as is determined by the Conversion Rate applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares at the time, (i) immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO, (ii) on the date upon which the Company obtains the consent of the holders of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the then

13

outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, or (iii) forty-eight (48) months after the date of the completion of the Company’s initial Series A Preferred Shares financing.

	(iii)		Before any holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares and to receive a certificate or certificates therefor, such holder shall deliver one or more share transfer certificates duly executed by it together with any share certificate(s) representing the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Article 7(d)(ii), the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not duly executed share transfer certificate(s) are delivered or the certificate(s) representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificate(s) evidencing Ordinary Shares issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the duly executed share transfer certificate(s) and share certificate(s) evidencing such Series A Preferred Shares are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such share certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed share certificate(s). The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after execution of such agreement in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s), issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Shares, a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the holder shall be entitled and a check or a wire transfer payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such delivery of the share transfer certificates or such surrender of the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion, on the date of closing of the Qualified IPO, on the date of consent of the holders of 85% of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, or on the date falling forty-eight (48) months after the date of the completion of the Company’s initial Series A Preferred Shares financing, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of the Ordinary Shares on such date.
	(iv)		No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of any Series A Preferred Shares would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash to such holder equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one such Series A Preferred Share as determined in good faith by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Series A Preferred Shares of each holder at the time converting into Ordinary Shares and the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion.
	(v)		The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(A) If the Company at any time sells or issues (or, pursuant to this Article 7(d)(v), is deemed to have issued) any unissued Ordinary Shares or preferred shares or other Shares, warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Shares (on an as converted basis) of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for additional Shares of the Company, other than Excluded Shares (collectively, the “Additional Securities”), for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect, such Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest

14

cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (B) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (C) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities (other than the Series A Preferred Shares), options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to such issue (collectively, with (A) and (B), the “Ordinary Shares Equivalents”),and (D)the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Securities so issued would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the Ordinary Shares Equivalents, and (B) the number of such Additional Securities so issued.

(I) For the purposes of any adjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 7(d)(v)(A), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Securities shall be determined as follows:

	(a)		In the case of the issuance of Ordinary Shares for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any offering discounts, commissions, compensation or expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
	(b)		In the case of the issuance of Ordinary Shares for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board.
	(c)		In the case of the issuance of (i) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares), or (iii) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for or purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities:

	(i)		the aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Company for the exercise of such options or rights for the Ordinary Shares covered thereby;
	(ii)		the aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and

15

subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights.

	(iii)		on any change in the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon exercise of any such options or rights, or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, or on any change in the minimum consideration for such options, rights or securities, other than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions of such options, rights or securities, then, upon such change becoming effective, such Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such change been in effect upon the original issuance of such options, rights or securities; and
	(iv)		on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange, or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon any redemption or repurchase of any such options, rights or securities, such Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, or options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be.

(II) All outstanding Excluded Shares (including shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares) shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes of the computations of this Article 7(d)(v)(A).

(B) If the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time is increased by a share dividend payable in Ordinary Shares or by a subdivision or split-up of Ordinary Shares, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

16

	(C)		If the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, then, on the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares shall be appropriately increased so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
	(D)		Subject to the provisions of Article 7(c), at any time, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization or any reclassification of the Shares (other than as a result of a share dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares as provided above), or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in the Ordinary Shares), the Series A Preferred Shares shall, after such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, be convertible (in lieu of the Ordinary Shares) into the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, such holder had converted its Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares. The provisions of this Article shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers.
	(E)		In the event that the Company at any time shall declare a cash dividend upon its Ordinary Shares payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of its Ordinary Shares share capital (other than Ordinary Shares), shares or other securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding options to purchase and rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares), then, in each such event, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall, concurrent with the distribution to holders of the Ordinary Shares, receive a like distribution based upon the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are then convertible.
	(F)		All calculations under this Article 7(d)(v) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

	(vi)		No adjustment in a Conversion Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in such Conversion Price of less than US$0.01. Any adjustment of less than US$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 US$0.01 or more in a Conversion Price.
	(vii)		The Company will not through any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 7(d) 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 the Series A Preferred Shares against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the Company’s right to amend these provisions with the requisite Member consent in accordance with these Articles.
	(viii)		Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate

17

applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 7(d), the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each affected holder of Series A Preferred Shares 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 written request of any holder of Series A Preferred Shares furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) all such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rates applicable to each Series A Preferred Share at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares.

	(ix)		The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
	(x)		No Series A Preferred Shares that have been converted into Ordinary Shares after the original issuance thereof shall ever again be reissued and all such shares so converted shall upon such conversion cease to be a part of the authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

ORDINARY SHARES

8. The Ordinary Shares shall have the following rights:

	(a)		Voting Rights. Each holder of Ordinary Shares (in person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative) shall have the right to one vote on a show of hands and the holder of each Ordinary Share shall have the right to one vote on a poll for each Ordinary Share held, and shall be entitled to notice of any general meeting in accordance with these Articles, and shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided for in these Articles.
	(b)		Dividends. Subject to Article 7(b), the holders of the Ordinary Shares shall, subject to the Statute and these Articles, be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Directors, out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Directors in accordance with Article 7(b).
	(c)		Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets of the Company shall be distributed as provided in Article 7(c).

REGISTER OF MEMBERS

9. The Company shall maintain a register of its Members and every person whose name is entered as a Member in the register of Members shall be entitled without payment to receive within two (2) months after allotment or lodgement of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide) one certificate for all his shares or several certificates each for one or more of his shares upon payment of fifty cents (US$0.50) for every certificate after the first or such less sum as the Directors shall from time to time determine, 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.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

18

10. Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) Transfer Restrictions.

	(i)		No Member may Transfer any Shares held by such Member except in accordance with the provisions of these Articles.
	(ii)		Prior to the date falling one (1) year after the completion of the initial Series A financing, no Member shall Transfer any of its Shares; provided, however, that:

	(A)		TPG and its Affiliates may Transfer Shares to one (1) or more limited partners of TPG Star, L.P. or its Affiliates for a minimum of US$10,000,000 per Person, so long as, after giving effect to all such Transfers, TPG and its Affiliates hold Shares having a Shareholding Percentage of at least six percent (6%),
	(B)		Standard Bank and its Affiliates may Transfer Shares to one (1) or more Person so long as, after giving effect to such Transfer, Standard Bank and its Affiliates hold Shares having a Shareholding Percentage of at least one percent (1% ), AND
	(C)		Any Transfer effected by any Member in accordance with the Article 10 (b), (c) and (e) of these Articles, Clause 7 or 8.2 of the SPA or the Standard Bank Equity Agreements shall be permitted.

	(iii)		On and after the date falling one (1) year after the completion of the initial Series A financing, no Member or any Affiliate of such Member shall Transfer any of its Shares; provided, however, that subject to Clause 13.3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, any Transfer effected by any Member in accordance with the Article 10 (b), (c) and (e) of these Articles, Clause 7 or 8.2 of the SPA or the Standard Bank Equity Agreements shall be permitted.
	(iv)		At any time but subject to Clause 13.3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, FEEL may Transfer (i) Shares having an aggregate Shareholding Percentage of up to five percent (5%) to persons who are bona fide directors, officers or employees of the Company or MIE as of the date hereof, but any such Transfer of Shares to any one director, officer or employee shall not result in any one such transferee holding an aggregate Shareholding Percentage exceeding two percent (1%).

(b) Right of First Refusal.

(i) Except for a Transfer in accordance with Article 10(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), 10(c) or 10(e) of these Articles, Clause 7 or 8.2 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, or the Standard Bank Equity Agreements if at any time, any Member (the “Offering Member”) desires to Transfer all or part of its Shares (the “Offered Shares”) to a Prospective Transferee, the other Members (the “Non-Offering Members”) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter provided. Prior to any Proposed Transfer of Offered Shares, the Offering Member shall deliver to each Non-Offering Member (with a copy to the Company) a written irrevocable bona fide offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Non-Offering Members stating the number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof (which shall not include any warranties or indemnities (other than capacity and authority) from the transferee) and the identity of the Prospective Transferee (a “Transfer Notice”).

19

	(ii)		Each Non-Offering Member shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a Transfer Notice within which to elect to purchase its pro rata share (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of all Non-Offering Members) of any or all such Offered Shares on the terms offered to the Prospective Transferee in the Transfer Notice, which election shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing Non-Offering Member to the Offering Member (with a copy to the Company and each of the other Non-Offering Members). The last day of such 30-day period is hereinafter referred to as the “Cut-Off Date”. Any new terms, conditions or price offered by the Offering Member to any Non-Offering Member during such 30-day period shall be offered to each Non-Offering Member and shall be set forth in a new Transfer Notice to each such Non-Offering Member, which new Transfer Notice shall trigger a new 30-day period as provided above. Any election to purchase the Offered Shares must be in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice then in effect, and otherwise must be unconditional (except that such purchase may be subject to the prior receipt of statutory or regulatory approvals necessary to complete such purchase). Non-Offering Members who elect to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to this Article 10(b)(ii) are hereinafter referred to individually as an “Electing Offeree” and collectively as the “Electing Offerees‘”.
	(iii)		If some, but not all, of the Non-Offering Members do not elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Offered Shares by the Cut-Off Date, each of the Electing Offerees shall have the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Cut-Off Date (the last day of which shall be the “Extended Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Electing Offerees pursuant to Article 10(b)(ii) pro rata (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the other Electing Offerees).
	(iv)		The consideration for such Offered Shares shall be paid in full in cash, or in such other form as may be agreed between the Offering Member and the Electing Offerees.
	(v)		The completion of each such purchase shall take place on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Cut-Off Date or Extended Cut Off Date (as the case may be), or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next such Business Day (the “Scheduled Completion Date”). The Scheduled Completion Date may be amended upon the mutual agreement of the Offering Member and the Electing Offerees, and in any case shall be extended to the extent necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations (including obtaining any necessary governmental approvals for the Transfer of such Offered Shares). On or before the relevant Scheduled Completion Date, the Offering Member shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares to be purchased on such Scheduled Completion Date (or, if such Offering Member alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Electing Offerees, against payment in full of the consideration for such Offered Shares in accordance with the provisions in this Article 10 (b).
	(vi)		Upon any election of the right to purchase such Offered Shares by an Electing Offeree, the Offering Member and such Electing Offeree shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure any approvals required in connection therewith.
	(vii)		Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Offering Members have not exercised their right to purchase all the Offered Shares by the end of the Cut-Off Date or the collective Electing Offerees have not offered to purchase all of the Offered Shares by the end of the Extended Cut-Off Date, then the Non-Offering Members shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase such Offered Shares, and the Offering Members shall be

20

free to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.

	(viii)		If the Electing Offeree(s) fail(s) to complete the purchase of all of the Offered Shares on the Scheduled Completion Date in accordance with the terms of these Articles and the applicable Transfer Notice and such failure is not remedied within seven (7) days of the Scheduled Completion Date, then the Offering Member may sell all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Scheduled Completion Date. If the necessary governmental approvals to an Electing Offeree’s purchase of any Offered Shares are not obtained within a reasonable period of time after the end of the 60-day period following the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case may be, such Offered Shares must be re-offered to the Non-Offering Members (other than the Electing Offeree) as Offered Shares under this Article 10(b).
	(ix)		Any sale to a Prospective Transferee pursuant to either Article 10(b)(vii) or Article 10(b)(viii) shall be on terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the price per Share) no more favourable to such Prospective Transferee than those set forth in the applicable Transfer Notice received by the Non-Offering Members and the Offering Member must sell all of the Offered Shares and not some only.
	(x)		If all of the Offered Shares are not sold to any Person within the 60-day period specified in Article 10(b)(vii) or Article 10(b)(viii), then the rights of the other Members under this Article 10(b) shall be fully restored and reinstated as if such offer had never been made and the Offering Member must again follow the procedures set forth in this Article 10(b) prior to the sale of any of its Shares to any Person, except for Transfers otherwise permitted by these Articles.

(c) Tag-Along Rights

	(i)		Except for a Transfer pursuant to Article 10 (a) (ii) (iii) (iv) and 10(e) of these Articles or Clause 7 or 8.2 of the SPA, and subject always to Article 10(b), if at any time FEEL (“Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer Shares to a Prospective Transferee that, when aggregated with all other Shares Transferred by such Tag-Along Seller and its Affiliates, would result in such Tag-Along Seller owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Shares, such Tag Along Seller shall promptly give written notice to the Company (“Tag-Along Notice”) and each of the other Members at least forty-five (45) days prior to the completion of such Transfer and shall cause the Prospective Transferee to make an offer for all of the Shares of such other Members on the same terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer (provided that TPG shall only provide customary representations of title and capacity excluding any representations or warranties with respect to the business, assets or liabilities or financial condition of the Company) (the “Tag-Along Offer”), except that the price per Share pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer shall be the Tag-Along Offer Purchase Price. The Tag-Along Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the class and number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof and the identity of the Prospective Transferee and attach a copy of the Tag-Along Offer. Any subsequent Transfers of Shares by persons other than TPG shall be subject to the same tag-along right under this Article 10(c).
	(ii)		Each non-Transferring Member shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of a Tag-Along Notice within which to accept the Tag-Along Offer, which acceptance shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing non-Transferring Member (each, a “Participant”) to the Tag-Along Seller and the Prospective Transferee (with a copy to the Company and each of the other non-Transferring Members). No

21

holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to sell Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 10(c), but shall be permitted to convert or exercise its applicable portion of Series A Preferred Shares for Ordinary Shares concurrently with, and subject to, the consummation of the Proposed Transfer, in which case each of the other Members shall take all such steps necessary to be taken by each of them respectively in order to give effect to such conversion or exercise.

	(iii)		Each Participant shall effect its participation in the Transfer by delivering to the Tag-Along Seller (to hold in trust as agent for such Participant), at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date scheduled for such Transfer as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, one (1) or more share transfer certificate(s) duly executed by the Participant, together with any share certificates, representing the Shares which such Participant is entitled to Transfer in accordance with Article 10(c)(ii). Such certificate or certificates or other instruments, as applicable, shall be delivered by the Tag-Along Seller to the Proposed Transferee on the date scheduled for such Transfer in consummation of the Transfer pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice and such Proposed Transferee shall remit to each such Participant the portion of the sale proceeds to which such Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. The completion of the Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller and the Transfer by each Participant shall occur simultaneously. The Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall be responsible for their respective pro rata portions of the aggregate transaction costs and expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants in connection with such Transfers and the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall reimburse the other to the extent required to give effect to such expense allocation. For purposes of this Article 10(c)(iii), “pro rata portion” shall mean for each Participant a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be Transferred by such Participant pursuant to this Article 10(c) and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares to be Transferred pursuant to this Article 10(c).
	(iv)		The non-exercise of the rights of any of the non-Transferring Members to participate in one (1) or more Transfers of Shares under this Article 10(c) shall not adversely affect its right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to this Article 10(c).
	(v)		The Tag-Along Seller shall not be permitted to Transfer Shares in circumstances where Article 10(c) is applicable unless the sale of Shares by Participants exercising their rights under this Article 10(c) is effected simultaneously, and any attempted Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller in violation hereof shall be null and void.
	(vi)		Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 10(c) to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to any other Member in the event no Shares are sold (by any of the Tag-Along Seller or any Participant) to the Proposed Transferee even if the provisions of this Article 10(c) have been triggered.

(d) Authorization; Effect of Failure to Comply.

22

such Exercising Offeree may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Member the purchase price for such Offered Shares as is herein specified and request the Company to redeem and cancel on its books the relevant Shares to be sold and issue the relevant Shares to such Exercising Offeree.

(e) Exempt Transfers.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing provisions of this Article 10 shall not apply to a Transfer by a Member of all or part of its Shares to an Affiliate provided, however, that any such Transfer shall be in accordance with each of the following terms:

CLASS RIGHTS AND VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES

23

16. (a)  Class Rights. Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes, the rights attached to any such Class may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class) only be materially and adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than a majority of the issued shares of the relevant Class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of such Class, by a majority of the votes cast at such a meeting, but not otherwise, provided that the rights attached to the Series A Preferred Shares may only be materially and adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of no less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/3%) of the issued Series A Preferred Shares or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares by sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/3%) of the votes cast at such meeting . To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons at least holding or representing by proxy a majority in nominal or par value amount of the issued shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Members who are present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to the terms of issue of the shares of that Class, every Member of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each share of the Class held by him.

	(b)		For the purposes of convening and holding a meeting pursuant to this Article, the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes.
	(c)		The rights conferred upon the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by the following acts of the Company:

	(i)		any change to the name of the Company;
	(ii)		any amendment to the Memorandum and these Articles or other constitutive documents of the Company, to the extent such amendment would adversely affect the rights already granted to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares;
	(iii)		any liquidation, winding up, dissolution, receivership, bankruptcy or any like scheme or arrangement of the Company; or
	(iv)		any split, subdivision, conversion, reclassification or modification of any type of outstanding shares or securities of the Company to the extent it would impair or reduce the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares.

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

17.		The Company may in so far as the Statute from time to time permits pay a commission to any person in consideration of his 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 lodgement 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.
18.		[Reserved].

LIEN ON SHARES

19. 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 his

24

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 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.

20.		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 his death or bankruptcy.
21.		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 shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.
22.		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

23. (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 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 authorising such call was passed.
	(c)		The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

24.		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 (10%) 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.
25.		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.
26.		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.

27. (a)  The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or

25

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

28. (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.

29.		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 him to the Company in respect of the shares together with interest thereon, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the shares.
30.		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 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 in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.
31.		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

32. The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding one dollar (US$1.00) on the registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in

26

lieu of distringas, or other instrument.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

33. 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 he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his 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 solely or jointly with other persons.

34. (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 as holder of the share or to make such transfer of the share to such other person nominated by him 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 his death or bankruptcy as the case may be.

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

35. 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 he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he 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 himself or to transfer the share and if the notice is not complied with within ninety 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.

AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM, CHANGE OF LOCATION OF REGISTERED
OFFICE & ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

36. (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:

	(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 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.

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

27

	(c)		Without prejudice to Article 16 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.
	(d)		Subject to the provisions of the Statute and Article 16, the Company may by Special Resolution: liquidate, wind up, dissolve, enter into receivership or declare bankruptcy or any like scheme or arrangement.

CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

37.		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 days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the register of Members.
38.		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.
39.		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 Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

GENERAL MEETING

40. (a) Annual General Meeting. Subject to paragraph (c) hereof, a general meeting of the Members (the “Annual General Meeting”) shall be held within one (1) year of incorporation of the Company and thereafter, once in every calendar year and not later than fifteen (15) months after the holding of the last preceding Annual General Meeting.

Any notice period referred to above shall exclude both the day on which the notice is served or deemed to be served and the day for which the notice is given.
	(c)		If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it may but shall not be obliged to hold an annual general meeting.

41. (a) The Directors may whenever they think fit, and they shall on the requisition of Members of the

28

	(b)		The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the registered office of the Company and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.
	(c)		If the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) days.
	(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.

NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF THE MEMBERS

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 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 41 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
	(b)		in the case of any other general meeting by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority in nominal value or in the case of shares without nominal or par value a majority of the shares in issue, or their proxies.

43.		[Reserved].
44.		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

The quorum for any meeting of the Members shall be Members whose aggregate Shareholding Percentage is not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/₃%) of the Shares entitled to vote present personally or by duly appointed proxy, attorney or representative, provided, however, that for the general meeting to be validly convened, TPG shall be present or represented. If within half an hour of the time appointed for the meeting no quorum is present, the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day one (1) week later at the same time and place or to such other day or time as the Chairman may designate upon at least five (5) days’ written notice to all of the Members.

46.		Except as otherwise required by applicable law, a resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (circulated to all the Members) approved and signed by all the Members shall be valid and effectual as if it had been a resolution passed at a general meeting of the Members duly convened and held.
47.		A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.
48.		The Chairman for the time being shall also preside as chairman at any general meeting.
49.		If the Chairman is absent at any general meeting, a Director shall act as the chairman.
50.		The Chairman may, with the consent of any general meeting duly constituted hereunder, 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 other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

51.		At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is, before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, demanded by the Chairman or any other Member present in person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative.
52.		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, and 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.
53.		The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.
54.		Except as provided in Article 56, 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.
55.		In no event, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, shall the Chairman of the general meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded be entitled to a second or casting vote.
56.		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.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

57.		Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a show of hands every Member of record present in person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative at a general meeting shall have one vote and on a poll every Member of record present in person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative shall have one vote for each share registered in his name in the register of Members.
58.		In the case of joint holders of record the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by

59.		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 his 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.
60.		No Member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member of the Company on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.
61.		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.

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

MEMBER APPROVAL

63.

(b) In the event that a resolution of the Members at a meeting is required pursuant to applicable law in respect of any Reserved Matter, no resolution shall be put forth at any meeting of the Members and no written resolution of the Members shall be passed in respect thereof unless such matter has been approved by the Board in accordance with Article 98(c).

PROXIES

64.		The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised in that behalf.

The Chairman may in any event at his discretion direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted shall be invalid.
66.		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.
67.		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.

69.		Shares of its own capital belonging to the Company or held by it in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RESERVE

107.		Subject to the Statute and these Articles, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and distributions on shares of the Company outstanding and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefore.
108.		The Directors may, before declaring any dividends or distributions, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any

39

purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the like discretion, be employed in the business of the Company.

109.		No dividend or distribution shall be payable except out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Statute.
110.		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 but no amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purpose of this Article as paid on the share.

In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, 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).

119.		The Directors may before the first Annual General Meeting appoint an Auditor or Auditors of the Company who shall hold office until the first Annual General Meeting unless previously removed by an ordinary resolution of the Members in general meeting in which case the Members at that meeting may appoint Auditors.

120.		Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the auditors.

123. (a)  Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and to have been effected at the expiration of sixty (60) hours after the letter containing the same is posted as aforesaid.

(b) Where a notice is sent by cable, telex, telecopy or electronic message, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, and sending such notice through a transmitting organisation and to have been effected on the day the same is sent as aforesaid.

124.		A notice may be given by the Company to the joint holders of record of a share by giving the notice to the joint holder first named on the register of Members in respect of the share.
125.		A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member by sending it through the post as aforesaid in a pre-paid letter addressed to them by name, or by the title of

41

representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

126. Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner hereinbefore authorised to:

	(a)		every person shown as a Member in the register of Members as of the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the register of Members.

WINDING UP

127.		If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.
128.		If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid-up capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the capital paid up, or which ought to have been paid up, at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. This Article is to be without prejudice to the rights of the holders of shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

		(collectively, the “Specific Indemnities”); provided, however, that the Warrantors shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Buyer for any such claims to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of (i) the Specific Indemnities for which the Warrantors would otherwise be liable and (ii) any breach of the Warranties exceeds the Indemnity Cap.
9.2		Procedure for Indemnification (Third Party Claims)

9.2.1 If the Buyer receives written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), and the Buyer intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Clause 9, the Buyer shall as promptly as practicable provide each Warrantor with notice in writing of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Buyer in notifying such Warrantor will relieve such Warrantor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) such Warrantor is materially and actually prejudiced as a result

-12-

thereof. Such Warrantor shall be entitled to assume the defence of such Third Party Claim at its own expense; provided that such Warrantor shall not be entitled to assume the defence of a Third Party Claim to the extent that the Buyer reasonably determines that it has defences, claims or positions that are unique, separate or distinct from the defences, claims or positions that might be available to other Persons relating to such Third Party Claim (such as jurisdictional defences). Such defence shall be conducted through counsel selected by such Warrantor, which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Buyer. Should such Warrantor so elect to assume the defence of a Third Party Claim, such Warrantor will not be liable to the Buyer for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Buyer in connection with the defence thereof. If such Warrantor is conducting the defence of the Third Party Claim, the Buyer shall be entitled, at its own expense, to retain separate counsel and participate in the defence of such Third Party Claim. Such Warrantor will keep the Buyer informed of all material developments relating to or arising in connection with such Third Party Claim.

	9.2.2		In the event that (i) the relevant Warrantor(s) fail to so assume the defence of any Third Party Claim within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof from the Buyer, (ii) the relevant Warrantor(s) and the Buyer are both parties to or subjects of the proceedings and the Buyer shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest between them or (iii) in any event, to the extent the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction, non-monetary or other equitable relief against the Buyer which, in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer, if successful, is reasonably likely to establish a precedential custom or practice that is materially detrimental to the continuing business interests of the Buyer, the Buyer shall have the right to undertake the defence of such Third Party Claim and, if such Third Party Claim is one for which the Buyer is entitled to be indemnified under this Clause 9, such defence of such Third Party Claim shall be at the expense and for the account of the Warrantors.
	9.2.3		Each Warrantor shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before consenting to any judgment, entering into or making any settlement, compromise or discharge of any Third Party Claim or any liability in respect thereof.
	9.2.4		Each Warrantor shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in) the defence of any Third Party Claim as to which such Warrantor fails to assume the defence within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof from the Buyer; provided, however, that the Buyer shall make no settlement, compromise, discharge, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to any liability on the part of any Warrantor without the prior written consent of such Warrantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

-13-

9.2.5 The reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses required by this Clause 9 shall be made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defence, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

9.3		Procedure for Indemnification (Direct Claims)
		In any case in which the Buyer seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Clause 9.2 (Procedure for Indemnification (Third Party Claims)) because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Buyer shall notify each Warrantor in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable of any Losses which the Buyer claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. The failure of the Buyer to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless and to the extent the resulting delay materially and actually prejudices the position of such Warrantor with respect to such claim.
10.		PUT OPTION
10.1		Put Option

	10.1.1		At any time during the Put Option Period, the Buyer shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion and exercisable only once (the “Put Option”), to require the Seller to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchased by the Buyer pursuant to this Deed (the “Put Shares”) and then owned by the Buyer (at the Put Price multiplied by the applicable number of Put Shares) by delivering written notice thereof to the Seller (with a copy to MIE and the Company) (the “Put Exercise Notice”) specifying the number of Put Shares to be purchased. The Seller shall pay the aggregate Put Price for the Put Shares to the Buyer in full within one year of the date of the Put Exercise Notice. MIE and the Company shall be jointly and severally liable with the Seller for the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Clause 10.
	10.1.2		Upon delivery by the Buyer of the Put Exercise Notice, the Seller shall elect whether it wishes to purchase the Put Shares (i) in one instalment (a “Single Purchase”) or (ii) in three evenly spaced instalments (with the instalments being as nearly as practicable of equal numbers of Put Shares and the final instalment being on a date no later than one year after the date of the Put Exercise Notice) (an “Instalment Purchase”). The first instalment in an Instalment Purchase shall be made no later than 90 days after the date of the Put Exercise Notice.
			No later than 10 days after the date of the Put Exercise Notice, the Seller shall notify the Buyer by written notice (the “Election Notice”) of (x) the election of a Single Purchase or an Instalment Purchase, (y) if the Seller elects an Instalment Purchase, the dates of each instalment (each, a “Put Purchase Date”) and the number of Put Shares to be purchased on each Put Purchase Date, and (z) the time and place in Beijing for the closing of the sale and purchase of the Put Shares to be sold on each Put Purchase Date.
			No later than five days after the date on which the Put Price must be finally determined in accordance with this Deed, the Seller shall notify the Buyer by

-14-

written notice of the Put Price payable on each Put Purchase Date, together with details of the method of calculation of the Put Price.

			If the Seller elects a Single Purchase or an Election Notice is not given in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Seller shall be deemed to have elected a Single Purchase on such date (which shall be treated as the Put Purchase Date but which shall not be later than five days after the date on which the Put Price must be finally determined in accordance with this Deed) and at such time and place in Beijing as the Buyer shall notify the Seller (with a copy to MIE and the Company).
	10.1.3		Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Deed, if the aggregate Put Price for the Put Shares has not been paid to the Buyer in full within one year after the date of the Put Exercise Notice:

	(a)		the Buyer shall first sell, transfer or assign any unpurchased Put Shares to any third party notwithstanding the provisions in Clauses 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement;
	(b)		if the net proceeds from the sale by the Buyer of unpurchased Put Shares are less than the aggregate Put Price of the unpurchased Put Shares plus any additional Losses the Buyer may incur as a result of such failure by MIE, the Company and/or the Seller to pay the aggregate Put Price of the unpurchased Put Shares (such deficiency, the “Put Return Deficiency”), the Buyer’s rights under the Share Charges shall then become immediately enforceable solely for the purpose of recovering the amount of the Put Return Deficiency, including but not limited to the right to exercise the power of sale and all other powers, rights and benefits conferred by law and the Share Charges; and
	(c)		if the net proceeds recovered pursuant to paragraph (b) above are insufficient for the Buyer to recover the Put Return Deficiency, then the Seller, MIE and the Company shall jointly and severally indemnify the Buyer for the unpaid amount of the Put Return Deficiency (the date on which any such unpaid amount is paid to the Buyer, the “Put Return Deficiency Payment Date”), to the extent that any of the Seller, MIE and the Company has from time to time lawfully available funds to do so and that it will be in compliance (after paying such unpaid amount) with all of the terms of the Standard Bank Facility under which it has outstanding obligations on the relevant Put Return Deficiency Payment Date (“Compliance with Financing Agreements”) provided, that if any of the Seller, MIE and the Company does not fulfil its obligations to pay any part of such unpaid amount of the Put Return Deficiency on the relevant Put Return Deficiency Payment Date as a result of the application of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph (c), it shall remain subject to the obligation to pay the balance of the Put Return Deficiency as soon as it is able to pay in a manner that complies with such restrictions.

10.2 Completion

-15-

	10.2.1		A Put Share shall only be transferred to the Seller if and to the extent that the relevant Put Price for such Put Share has been paid in full, and until payment of the relevant Put Price has been made in full, the Buyer shall maintain all its right, title and interest in such Put Share.
	10.2.2		On or before the relevant Put Purchase Date, the Buyer shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Put Shares to be purchased on such Put Purchase Date (or, if the Buyer alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Seller, MIE or the Company, in the manner and at the place designated in the Election Notice against payment in full of the relevant Put Price in immediately available funds to the order of the Buyer. In the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are purchased, a new certificate representing the balance of the unsold Preferred Shares shall promptly be issued to the Buyer by the Company and a certificate for the Put Shares so purchased shall be issued to the Seller, MIE or the Company (as the case may be).

11.		COVENANTS
11.1		Security for Claims.
		At each Completion, the Seller shall charge by way of first ranking charge a number of Ordinary Shares equal in number to 96.226446% of the number of Preferred Shares the Buyer purchases at such Completion (rounded off to the nearest Ordinary Share), in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4 (Form of Share Charge) (or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Buyer), in favour of the Buyer (each such first ranking charge, a “Share Charge”) as security for the indemnities contained in Clauses 9 (Indemnities) and 10 (Put Option). The foregoing security shall be released at the later to occur of (i) the General Warranty Expiration Date, (ii) the final settlement of all claims from the Buyer which may be outstanding on such General Warranty Expiration Date in respect of the indemnities under Clauses 9 (Indemnities), and (iii) the payment of the Put Return Deficiency.
11.2		Initial Public Offering

11.2.1 If the final price per Ordinary Share of the Company in the Qualified IPO (the “Per Share IPO Price”) multiplied by the total number of Ordinary Shares which the Buyer would hold (on an as-converted basis in accordance with the Restated Articles) upon the Qualified IPO is less than the sum of (i) the difference between the aggregate of the Option Prices paid by the Buyer to the Seller in connection with each Completion under this Deed, plus (ii) 30% per annum on such amount compounded on an annual basis from the date of the relevant Completion through the closing date of the Qualified IPO (the “SB Anticipated IPO Return”), the Company shall compensate the Buyer for such deficiency (the “IPO Return Deficiency”). MIE and the Seller shall be jointly

-16-

and severally liable with the Company for the obligations of the Company set forth in this Clause 11.2.

11.2.2 The obligations of the Company, MIE and/or the Seller to compensate the Buyer for the IPO Return Deficiency shall be satisfied in the following manners and order of priority:

	(a)		first, prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement, the Company and/or MIE shall pay in cash an amount equal to the IPO Return Deficiency plus any costs and expenses of the escrow account in an escrow account for the benefit of the Buyer with an escrow agent which shall be irrevocably instructed to transfer the IPO Return Deficiency amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars to an account specified by the Buyer immediately upon the closing of the Qualified IPO without the need for any further action or instruction on the part of any Person;
	(b)		second, if any of the IPO Return Deficiency amount is not paid to the escrow account in accordance with paragraph (a) above prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement (the “Unpaid IPO Return Deficiency Amount”), the Seller shall, prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement, pay in cash an amount equal to the Unpaid IPO Return Deficiency Amount (or in lieu thereof or in combination therewith, deposit the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Unpaid IPO Return Deficiency Amount divided by the Per Share IPO Price (rounded up to the nearest share, the “Escrow Shares”) along with all transfer documents reasonably requested by the Buyer or the escrow agent to effect the transfer of a valid and marketable title in the Escrow Shares to the Buyer in accordance therewith) plus any costs and expenses in escrow for the benefit of the Buyer with an escrow agent which shall be irrevocably instructed to transfer the Unpaid IPO Return Deficiency Amount or the Escrow Shares to the Buyer (or any nominees nominated by the Buyer) immediately upon closing of the Qualified IPO without the need for any further action or instruction on the part of any Person;
	(c)		third, if any of the IPO Return Deficiency amount is not paid to the escrow account in accordance with paragraph (a) and/or (b) above prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement, the Company shall (x) include in the underwriting agreement a provision stating that part of the proceeds from the Qualified IPO equal to the Unpaid IPO Return Deficiency Amount plus any costs and expenses of the escrow account shall be placed in an escrow account for the benefit of the Buyer with an escrow agent acceptable to the Buyer which shall be irrevocably instructed to transfer the Unpaid IPO Return Deficiency Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars to an account specified by the Buyer immediately upon the closing of the Qualified IPO without the need for any further action or instruction on the part of any Person, and (y) undertake to and with the other parties to the underwriting

2.2 Right of First Refusal.

	(a)		Except for a Transfer in accordance with Clause 2.1 (a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c), 2.3 or 2.7 of this Agreement, Clause 7 or 8.2 of the SPA or the Standard Bank Equity Agreements if at any time, any Shareholder (the “Offering Shareholder”) desires to Transfer all or part of its Shares (the “Offered Shares”) to a Prospective Transferee, the other Shareholders (the “Non-Offering Shareholders”) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter provided. Prior to any Proposed Transfer of Offered Shares, the Offering Shareholder shall deliver to each Non-Offering Shareholder (with a copy to the Company) a written irrevocable bona fide offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Non- Offering Shareholders stating the number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof (which shall not include any warranties or indemnities (other than capacity and authority) from the transferee) and the identity of the Prospective Transferee (a “Transfer Notice”).
	(b)		Each Non-Offering Shareholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a Transfer Notice within which to elect to purchase its pro rata share (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of all Non-Offering Shareholders) of any or all such Offered Shares on the terms offered to the Prospective Transferee in the Transfer Notice, which election shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing Non-Offering Shareholder to the Offering Shareholder (with a copy to the Company and each of the other Non-Offering Shareholders). The last day of such 30-day period is hereinafter referred to as the “Cut-Off Date”. Any new terms, conditions or price offered by the Offering Shareholder to any Non-Offering Shareholder during such 30-day period shall be offered to each Non-Offering Shareholder and shall be set forth in a new Transfer Notice to each such Non-Offering Shareholder, which new Transfer Notice shall trigger a new 30-day period as provided above. Any election to purchase the Offered Shares must be in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice then in effect, and otherwise must be unconditional (except that such purchase may be subject to the prior receipt of statutory or regulatory approvals necessary to complete such purchase). Non-Offering Shareholders who elect to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to this Clause

Page 11

			2.2(b) are hereinafter referred to individually as an “Electing Offeree” and collectively as the “Electing Offerees”.
	(c)		If some, but not all, of the Non-Offering Shareholders do not elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Offered Shares by the Cut-Off Date, each of the Electing Offerees shall have the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Cut-Off Date (the last day of which shall be the “Extended Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Electing Offerees pursuant to Clause 2.2(b) pro rata (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the other Electing Offerees).
	(d)		The consideration for such Offered Shares shall be paid in full in cash, or in such other form as may be agreed between the Offering Shareholder and the Electing Offerees.
	(e)		The completion of each such purchase shall take place on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Cut-Off Date or Extended Cut Off Date (as the case may be), or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next such Business Day (the “Scheduled Completion Date”). The Scheduled Completion Date may be amended upon the mutual agreement of the Offering Shareholder and the Electing Offerees, and in any case shall be extended to the extent necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations (including obtaining any necessary governmental approvals for the Transfer of such Offered Shares). On or before the relevant Scheduled Completion Date, the Offering Shareholder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares to be purchased on such Scheduled Completion Date (or, if such Offering Shareholder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Electing Offerees, against payment in full of the consideration for such Offered Shares in accordance with the provisions in this Clause 2.2.
	(f)		Upon any election of the right to purchase such Offered Shares by an Electing Offeree, the Offering Shareholder and such Electing Offeree shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure any approvals required in connection therewith.
	(g)		Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Offering Shareholders have not exercised their right to purchase all the Offered Shares by the end of the Cut-Off Date or the collective Electing Offerees have not offered to purchase all of the Offered Shares by the end of the Extended Cut-Off Date, then the Non-Offering Shareholders shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase such Offered Shares, and the Offering Shareholder shall be free to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.

Page 12

	(h)		If the Electing Offeree(s) fail(s) to complete the purchase of all of the Offered Shares on the Scheduled Completion Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Transfer Notice and such failure is not remedied within seven (7) days of the Scheduled Completion Date, then the Offering Shareholder may sell all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Scheduled Completion Date. If the necessary governmental approvals to an Electing Offeree’s purchase of any Offered Shares are not obtained within a reasonable period of time after the end of the 60-day period following the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case may be, such Offered Shares must be re-offered to the Non-Offering Shareholders (other than the Electing Offeree) as Offered Shares under this Clause 2.2.
	(i)		Any sale to a Prospective Transferee pursuant to either Clause 2.2(g) or Clause 2.2(h) shall be on terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the price per Share) no more favourable to such Prospective Transferee than those set forth in the applicable Transfer Notice received by the Non-Offering Shareholders, and the Offering Shareholder must sell all of the Offered Shares and not some only. Concurrently with any such sale to a Prospective Transferee who is not then a party to this Agreement and, as a condition precedent for such Transfer, such Prospective Transferee shall comply with the provisions of Clause 2.6.
	(j)		If all of the Offered Shares are not sold to any Person within the 60-day period specified in Clause 2.2(g) or Clause 2.2(h), then the rights of the other Shareholders under this Clause 2.2 shall be fully restored and reinstated as if such offer had never been made and the Offering Shareholder must again follow the procedures set forth in this Clause 2.2 prior to the sale of any of its Shares to any Person, except for Transfers otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

2.3 Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Except for a Transfer pursuant to Clause 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c), or 2.7 of this Agreement, Clause 7 or 8.2 of the SPA, or the Standard Bank Equity Agreements, and subject always to Clause 2.2, if at any time FEEL (“Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer Shares to a Prospective Transferee that, when aggregated with all other Shares Transferred by such Tag-Along Seller and its Affiliates, would result in such Tag-Along Seller owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the then total issued and outstanding Shares, such Tag Along Seller shall promptly give written notice to the Company (“Tag-Along Notice”) and each of the other Shareholders at least forty-five (45) days prior to the completion of such Transfer and shall cause the Prospective Transferee to make an offer for all of the Shares of such other Shareholders on the same terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer (provided that the Investors shall only provide customary representations of title and capacity excluding any representations or warranties with respect to the business, assets or liabilities or financial condition of the Company) (the “Tag-Along Offer”), except that the price per Share pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer shall be the Tag-Along Offer Purchase Price. The Tag-Along Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the

Page 13

			Proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the class and number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof and the identity of the Prospective Transferee and attach a copy of the Tag-Along Offer. Any subsequent Transfers of Shares by persons other than the Investors shall be subject to the same tag-along right under this Clause 2.3.
	(b)		Each non-Transferring Shareholder shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of a Tag-Along Notice within which to accept the Tag-Along Offer, which acceptance shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing  non-Transferring Shareholder (each, a “Participant”) to the Tag-Along Seller and the Prospective Transferee (with a copy to the Company and each of the other non-Transferring Shareholders). No holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to sell Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Clause 2.3, but shall be permitted to convert or exercise its applicable portion of Series A Preferred Shares for Ordinary Shares concurrently with, and subject to, the consummation of the Proposed Transfer, in which case each of the other Shareholders shall take all such steps necessary to be taken by each of them respectively in order to give effect to such conversion or exercise.
	(c)		Each Participant shall effect its participation in the Transfer by delivering to the Tag-Along Seller (to hold in trust as agent for such Participant), at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date scheduled for such Transfer as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, one (1) or more share transfer certificate(s) duly executed by the Participant, together with any share certificates, representing the Shares which such Participant is entitled to Transfer in accordance with Clause 2.3(b). Such certificate or certificates or other instruments, as applicable, shall be delivered by the Tag-Along Seller to the Proposed Transferee on the date scheduled for such Transfer in consummation of the Transfer pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice and such Proposed Transferee shall remit to each such Participant the portion of the sale proceeds to which such Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. The completion of the Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller and the Transfer by each Participant shall occur simultaneously. The Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall be responsible for their respective pro rata portions of the aggregate transaction costs and expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants in connection with such Transfers and the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall reimburse the other to the extent required to give effect to such expense allocation. For purposes of this Clause 2.3(c), “pro rata portion” shall mean for each Participant a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be Transferred by such Participant pursuant to this Clause 2.3 and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares to be Transferred pursuant to this Clause 2.3.
	(d)		The non-exercise of the rights of any of the non-Transferring Shareholders to participate in one (1) or more Transfers of Shares under this Clause 2.3 shall not adversely affect its right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to this Clause 2.3.
	(e)		The Tag-Along Seller shall not be permitted to Transfer Shares in circumstances where Clause 2.3 is applicable unless the sale of Shares by Participants exercising

Page 14

their rights under this Clause 2.3 is effected simultaneously, and any attempted Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller in violation hereof shall be null and void.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause 2.3 to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to any other Shareholder in the event no Shares are sold (by any of the Tag-Along Seller or any Participant) to the Proposed Transferee even if the provisions of this Clause 2.3 have been triggered.

2.4		Restrictive Legend.
		Each certificate representing the Shares or any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock splits, stock dividend, recapitalisation, merger or similar event, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legends required by agreement or by applicable securities laws):
		THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS SHARE CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [•] 2009, AMONG THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, CERTAIN OTHER SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY, MI ENERGY CORPORATION, AND THE COMPANY.

2.5 Authorisation; Effect of Failure to Comply.

	(a)		The Shareholders shall cause the Company to take any and all steps for and on behalf of a transferring Shareholder to give effect to the Transfer of Shares pursuant to this Clause 2.
	(b)		Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other Parties for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the Parties unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other Transfers of Shares not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).
	(c)		If any Shareholder becomes obligated to sell any Offered Shares to any Exercising Offeree under this Agreement and fails to deliver a share transfer certificate duly executed by the Shareholder, together with any share certificates, representing such purchased Offered Shares and Transfer the Offered Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Exercising Offeree may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Shareholder the purchase price for such Offered Shares as is herein specified and request the Company to redeem and cancel on its books

Page 15

the relevant Shares to be sold and issue the relevant Shares to such Exercising Offeree.

2.6 Adherence on Transfer or Issue.

	(a)		Any Transfer of Shares (other than a Transfer of Shares pursuant to Clause 2.1(c)) shall require the prior adherence by the transferee to the terms of this Agreement. The transferee to whom a Shareholder is to Transfer Shares shall execute and deliver to each other Shareholder and the Company a deed of adherence to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, indicating such transferee’s agreement to be bound by the terms hereof in the same manner as the Transferring Shareholder and shall thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Party and a Shareholder hereunder and be entitled to the same rights to the same extent and in the same manner as the Transferring Shareholder.

	(a)		In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Shareholder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Shareholder shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (the “Preemption Cut-Off Date”) to agree to purchase up to its pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. If a Shareholder fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of the New Securities, each of the other participating Shareholders may exercise an additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the participating Shareholders), the New Securities not previously purchased.
	(b)		If some (but not all) of the Shareholders do not elect to purchase their pro rata portion of such New Securities by the Preemption Cut-Off Date, each of the participating Shareholders shall have the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Preemption Cut-Off Date (the last day of which shall be the “Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the New Securities not purchased by the participating Shareholders pursuant to Clause 3.2(a) pro rata (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the other participating Shareholders).
	(c)		If none of the Shareholders have exercised their right to purchase the New Securities by the end of the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the collective participating Shareholders have not offered to purchase all of the New Securities by the end of the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (such unpurchased New Securities, the “Remaining New Securities”), then the Company may sell all (but not less than all) of the Remaining New Securities to a third Person.

Page 17

	(d)		Regardless of whether the Shareholders exercise their preemption rights granted under this Clause 3 by the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (as the case may be), the Company shall have sixty (60) days after the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date to sell (or enter into an agreement pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date of said agreement) the New Securities at a price and upon terms no more favourable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Shareholders, provided that such purchaser(s) shall execute and deliver to each other Shareholder and the Company an instrument of ratification and accession to this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Shareholders, indicating such purchaser’s agreement to be bound by the terms hereof and shall thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within such 60-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) days from the date of such agreement) the Company shall not thereunder issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Shareholders in the manner provided above.
