Transferee’).

sheet, letter of intent or memorandum of understanding, the Selling Shareholder shall send a notice in
writing to the Other Shareholder(s) (‘Tag Along Offer Notice’) containing the material terms of the offer
agreed to by the Selling Shareholder with the Proposed Transferee including the number of Shares the
Selling Shareholder is proposing to transfer and the price at which the Selling Shareholder is proposing

number of Shares in which such Other Shareholder(s) can Transfer and specify in the Tag Along Notice

Along Offer Notice multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by the
Other Shareholder electing its right to "tag-along" as computed on the date of the Tag Along Notice, and

of Shares held by the Other Shareholder(s).

(d) In the event that the Other Shareholder(s) fails to respond to the Tag Along Offer
Notice by the expiration of the Tag Along Offer Period, the Other Shareholder(s) shall be deemed to
have waived its rights to the ‘tag-along’.

obliged to procure the sale of the Shares of the Other Shareholder(s) specified in the Tag Along Notice to
the Proposed Transferee and the sale of the Shares of the Selling Shareholder shall not be completed
unless the Proposed Transferee purchases the said Shares from the Other Shareholder(s) exercising its
tag-along right on the same terms, price and conditions as offered to the Selling Shareholder.

were used to determine the valuation of the entire issued share capital of the Company and such
valuation was then allocated as between the Shares, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the effect that
