On July 16, 2019, Yatra Online, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“ Yatra ”), entered into a Merger Agreement (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with Ebix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Ebix ”), and EbixCash Travels Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix (“ Merger Sub ”).
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Yatra, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Yatra will continue as the surviving company and as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix (the “ Merger ”).  The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”):
 
·                   All of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, Class A Shares and Yatra USA Class F Shares (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.005 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) of a share of Ebix’s Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share (the “ Ebix Preferred Stock ”);
 
·                   Each Class F Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is issued and outstanding will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.00000005 of a share of Ebix Preferred Stock;
 
·                   Each Yatra India Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is issued and outstanding will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a specified number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Merger Agreement;
 
·                   Each option to purchase Ordinary Shares, whether vested or unvested, will be canceled and converted as of immediately prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive in respect of each Net Option Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, subject to such option, the merger consideration that would be received for one Ordinary Share;
 
·                   Each restricted stock unit of Yatra, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted as of immediately prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive the merger consideration due an Ordinary Share; and
 
·                   Each warrant to purchase Ordinary Shares (“ Yatra Warrant ”) will be assumed by Ebix and become, as of the Effective Time, an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Yatra Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, shares of Ebix Preferred Stock (such option, an “ Assumed Warrant ”), except that (A) the number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, subject to such Assumed Warrant will be equal to the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Yatra Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price will be equal to the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Yatra Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio.
 
Each share of Ebix Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into 20 shares of common stock of Ebix.
 
The respective boards of directors of Yatra, Merger Sub and Ebix have each approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Plan of Merger. The board of directors of Yatra has also resolved to recommend that Yatra’s shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger.  In addition, the board of directors of Ebix has approved the issuance of Ebix Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (“ Form S - 4 ”) to be filed with the SEC by Ebix in connection with the registration of the Ebix Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger.  The obligations of each party to consummate the Merger are also conditioned upon (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party as of the closing (subject to customary materiality qualifiers), (ii) the absence of any material breach by the other party of any of its covenants or agreements under the Merger Agreement, and (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the other party.  The obligations of Ebix and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger are further conditioned upon (i) the Company obtaining the cancellation or other extinguishment of Yatra Warrants such that no more than 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares remain subject to Yatra Warrants and (ii) Ebix’s receipt of written acknowledgement from the Company’s financial advisor that its fees and expenses due for such services have been paid in full.
 
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature.  During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, each of Ebix and Yatra has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to certain covenants relating to, among other things, (i) the conduct of their respective businesses (ii) the use of their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals, if any, and (iii) the preparation and filing with the SEC of a proxy statement and Form S-4.  In addition, subject to certain exceptions, Yatra has agreed to covenants relating to (i) the submission of the Merger Agreement to Yatra’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting for adoption, (ii) the recommendation by the board of directors of Yatra in favor of the adoption by the Yatra shareholders of the Merger Agreement and (iii) certain cost-saving measures.
 
In addition, Yatra has agreed to certain non-solicitation obligations relating to acquisition proposals.  Yatra further agreed not to, subject to certain exceptions, provide non-public information to, or engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding acquisition proposals.  However, prior to the time when the Yatra Shareholder Approval is obtained, Yatra may, in certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations, provide non-public information to, and participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to alternative acquisition proposals that were not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement and, subject to compliance with certain other obligations, change its recommendation that Yatra’s shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement and/or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that constitutes a superior proposal.
 
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Ebix and Yatra, including, among others, the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to April 16, 2020 (the “ Outside Date ”), (ii) any court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any other actions permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, and such order or other action has become final and nonappealable, (iii) the Yatra Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the extraordinary general meeting for the purpose of adopting the Merger Agreement or (iv) the other party breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that results in the failure of the related closing condition to be satisfied (subject to a cure period in certain circumstances).
 
In addition, prior to the receipt of the Yatra Shareholder Approval, (i) Yatra may terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement for an acquisition proposal that constitutes a superior proposal or in response to an intervening event and (ii) Ebix may terminate the Merger Agreement as a result of the Yatra board of directors changing its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement.
 
Yatra will be required to pay a termination fee of $8,160,000 (the “ Termination Fee ”) if the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by Ebix, if the Yatra board of directors changes its recommendation that the Yatra shareholders vote in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement, (ii) by Ebix or Yatra, if after the Yatra board of directors changes its recommendation, the Yatra Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the extraordinary general meeting or (iii) by Yatra to enter into a superior proposal.  Yatra will also be required to pay the Termination Fee if, within twelve months following termination of the Merger Agreement due to a failure to close the Merger by the Outside Date or failure to obtain the Yatra Shareholder Approval, Yatra consummates an acquisition proposal or enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that is subsequently consummated and, in each case, such acquisition proposal was publicly made and not publicly withdrawn prior to such termination of the Merger Agreement.  If the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company or Ebix because the Yatra Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the extraordinary general meeting and the Termination Fee is not then payable, then the

Company will be required to reimburse Ebix for its appropriate, documented expenses incurred or paid in connection with the Merger Agreement up to $4,000,000 (the “ Expense Reimbursement ”).

54

(ii)                                   In the event that this Agreement is terminated:
 
(A)                                (1) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i)  and an Acquisition Proposal was publicly proposed or announced or otherwise communicated to the Board of Directors or shareholders of the Company by any Person after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to such termination; or (2) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii)  and an Acquisition Proposal was publicly proposed or announced or otherwise communicated to the Board of Directors or shareholders of the Company by any Person after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to such termination; and
 
(B)                                in any such event, within twelve (12) months after such termination of this Agreement either (1) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated or (2) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that is subsequently consummated, then, within two (2) Business Days following the earlier of such consummation, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent (or its designees) the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. For purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(ii) , each reference to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.”

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) if Parent is entitled to receive payment of the Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to this Section 8.3 , except in the case of fraud, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) if Parent or Merger Sub receives any payments from the Company in respect of any breach of this Agreement, and thereafter Parent is entitled to receive the Termination Fee under this Section 8.3 , the amount of such Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any payments made by the Company to Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any such breaches of this Agreement; and (C) in no event shall the Company’s
 
55 

 
liability for monetary damages to Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any breach (except in the case of fraud) by the Company of Section 6.3 exceed the Termination Fee (inclusive of any amounts paid of the Termination Fee).
 
(b)                                  Expense Reimbursement . In the event the Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii)  and the Termination Fee is not then payable, the Company shall pay to Parent all appropriate, documented internal and external expenses incurred or paid by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent, within five (5) Business Days of the later of (i) the date of such termination and (ii) the date that Parent shall have provided to the Company true and complete copies of documentation evidencing such expenses; provided , that the aggregate amount payable shall not exceed $4,000,000 (the “ Parent Expense Reimbursement ”).

(c)                                   The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.3 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 , and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit, action or other Proceeding that results in a judgment in its favor, the Company shall pay to the Parent its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, action or other Proceeding, together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such interest begins accruing.
 
Section 8.4                                             Procedure for Termination . Termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time shall not require the approval of the shareholders of the Company.

If more than one provision in Section 8.1 is available to a terminating party in connection with a termination, a terminating party may rely on any or all available provisions in Section 8.1 for any termination.

The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The phrase “the date of this Agreement” and terms of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to the date first written above. Whenever the content of this Agreement permits, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and a reference to singular or plural shall be interchangeable with the other.
 
(b)                                  References to any agreement or contract are to that agreement or contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person.

References to “$” and “dollars” are to the currency of the United States. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The words “hereby,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any disclosure letters delivered herewith) and not merely to the specific Section, paragraph or clause in which such word appears. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
 
(c)                                   The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.

The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by such party that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or that the disclosure thereof be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

59 

 
this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not, subject to clause (a) above, be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, except as a result of such substitution, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

16.                                The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share.  The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable).  The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article.  The Company’s lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it.
 
17.                                The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors may determine, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, 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 for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.
 
18.                                For giving 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.
 
19.                                The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company 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 shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.
 
CALLS ON SHARES
 
20.                                The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days’
 
6 

 
notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.
 
21.                                The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.
 
22.                                If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.
 
23.                                The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest 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 amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
 
24.                                The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.
 
25.                                The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.
 
FORFEITURE OF SHARES
 
26.                                If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of any Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.
 
27.                                The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date 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 the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
 
28.                                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 notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.
 
29.                                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.
 
7 

 
30.                                A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.
 
31.                                A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.
 
32.                                The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall 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 Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.
 
33.                                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 due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
 
TRANSFER OF SHARES
 
34.                                The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may determine and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares.
 
35.                                Subject to the terms of issue thereof, the Directors may determine to decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor.
 
36.                                The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine.
 
37.                                All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same.
 
8 

 
TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
 
38.                                The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.  In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased holder of the Share, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.
 
39.                                Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; 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 the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.
 
40.                                A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder 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.
 
ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL
 
41.                                The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

(a)            consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares;
 
(b)            convert all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination;
 
(c)            subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and
 
(d)            cancel any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

(b)            purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder;
 
(c)            make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Companies Law, including out of its capital; and

45.                                Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.
 
46.                                The redemption, purchase or surrender of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption, purchase or surrender of any other Share.
 
47.                                The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie including, without limitation, interests in a special purpose vehicle holding assets of the Company or holding entitlement to the proceeds of assets held by the Company or in a liquidating structure.
 
TREASURY SHARES
 
48.                                Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or acquires (by way of surrender or otherwise) may, at the option of the Company, be cancelled immediately or held as Treasury Shares in accordance with the Companies Law.

52.                                The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of the Company.
 
53.                                The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason at any time prior to the time for holding such meeting or, if the meeting is adjourned, the time for holding such adjourned meeting.

55.                                If at any time there are no Directors, any two Shareholders (or if there is only one Shareholder then that Shareholder) entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company may convene a general meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors.

66.                                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 meeting at which the poll was demanded.

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS
 
104.                         The Directors may meet together (either within or outside the Cayman Islands) for the despatch of business, adjourn, and otherwise regulate their meetings and proceedings as they think fit.  Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes.  In case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.  A Director may, and a Secretary or assistant Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors.
 
105.                         A Director may participate in any meeting of the Directors, or of any committee appointed by the Directors of which such Director is a member, by means of telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which all Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.
 
106.                         The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed, if there be two or more Directors the quorum shall be two, and if there be one Director the quorum shall be one.  A Director represented by an alternate Director at any meeting shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present.
 
107.                         A Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors.  A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he is to be regarded as interested in any contract or other arrangement which may thereafter be made with that company
 
18 

 
or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made.  A Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement shall come before the meeting for consideration.
 
108.                         A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested, be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established.  A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.
 
109.                         Any Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.
 
110.                         The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books or loose-leaf folders provided for the purpose of recording:
 
(a)                                  all appointments of Officers made by the Directors;
 
(b)                                  the names of the Directors present at each meeting of the Directors and of any committee of the Directors; and
 
(c)                                   all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company, and of the Directors and of committees of Directors.
 
111.                         When the chairman of a meeting of the Directors signs the minutes of such meeting the same shall be deemed to have been duly held notwithstanding that all the Directors have not actually come together or that there may have been a technical defect in the proceedings.
 
112.                         A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of Directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Directors or committee of Directors, as the case may be (an alternate Director, subject as provided otherwise in the terms of appointment of the alternate Director, being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointer), shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a duly called and constituted meeting of Directors or committee
 
19 

 
of Directors, as the case may be.  When signed a resolution may consist of several documents each signed by one or more of the Directors or his duly appointed alternate.
 
113.                         The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing Directors may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.
 
114.                         The Directors may elect a chairman of their meetings and determine the period for which he is to hold office but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.
 
115.                         Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings.  If no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.
 
116.                         A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper.  Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.
 
117.                         All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any Person acting as a Director, shall notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or Person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
118.                         Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, or as otherwise provided for in the Companies Law and these Articles, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor.
 
119.                         Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Company by Ordinary Resolution may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.
 
120.                         The Directors may determine, before recommending or declaring any dividend, to set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied and pending such application may, at the
 
20 

 
determination of the Directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may from time to time think fit.
 
121.                         Any dividend may be paid in any manner as the Directors may determine.  If paid by cheque it will be sent through the post to the registered address of the Shareholder or Person entitled thereto, or in the case of joint holders, to any one of such joint holders at his registered address or to such Person and such address as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct.  Every such cheque shall be made payable to the order of the Person to whom it is sent or to the order of such other Person as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct.
 
122.                         The Directors when paying dividends to the Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of these Articles may make such payment either in cash or in specie and may determine the extent to which amounts may be withheld therefrom (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees, expenses or other liabilities for which a Shareholder (or the Company, as a result of any action or inaction of the Shareholder) is liable).
 
123.                         Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares, but if and for so long as nothing is paid up on any of the Shares dividends may be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares.
 
124.                         If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Share, any of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share.
 
125.                         No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.
 
ACCOUNTS, AUDIT AND ANNUAL RETURN AND DECLARATION
 
126.                         The books of account relating to the Company’s affairs shall be kept in such manner as may be determined from time to time by the Directors.
 
127.                         The books of account shall be kept at the Office, or at such other place or places as the Directors think fit, and shall always be open to the inspection of the Directors.
 
128.                         The Directors may from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Shareholders not being Directors, and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Directors or by Ordinary Resolution.
 
129.                         The accounts relating to the Company’s affairs shall only be audited if the Directors so determine, in which case the accounting principles will be determined by the Directors.  The financial year of the Company shall end on 31 December of each year or such other date as the Directors may determine.
 
21 

 
130.                         The Directors in each year shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, an annual return and declaration setting forth the particulars required by the Companies Law and deliver a copy thereof to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
 
CAPITALISATION OF RESERVES
 
131.                         Subject to the Companies Law and these Articles, the Directors may:
 
(a)                                  resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of reserves (including a Share Premium Account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution;
 
(b)                                  appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the Shareholders in proportion to the nominal amount of  Shares (whether or not fully paid) held by them respectively and apply that sum on their behalf in or towards:
 
(i)                                      paying up the amounts (if any) for the time being unpaid on Shares held by them respectively, or
 
(ii)                                   paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of a nominal amount equal to that sum,
 
and allot the Shares or debentures, credited as fully paid, to the Shareholders (or as they may direct) in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, but the Share Premium Account, the capital redemption reserve and profits which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued Shares to be allotted to Shareholders credited as fully paid;
 
(c)                                   make any arrangements they think fit to resolve a difficulty arising in the distribution of a capitalised reserve and in particular, without limitation, where Shares or debentures become distributable in fractions the Directors may deal with the fractions as they think fit;
 
(d)                                  authorise a Person to enter (on behalf of all the Shareholders concerned) into an agreement with the Company providing for either:
 
(i)             the allotment to the Shareholders respectively, credited as fully paid, of Shares or debentures to which they may be entitled on the capitalisation, or
 
(ii)            the payment by the Company on behalf of the Shareholders (by the application of their respective proportions of the reserves resolved to be capitalised) of the amounts or part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares,
 
and any such agreement made under this authority being effective and binding on all those Shareholders; and
 
22 

 
(e)                                   generally do all acts and things required to give effect to any of the actions contemplated by this Article.
 
SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT
 
132.                         The Directors shall in accordance with the Companies Law establish a Share Premium Account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share.
 
133.                         There shall be debited to any Share Premium Account on the redemption or purchase of a Share the difference between the nominal value of such Share and the redemption or purchase price provided always that at the determination of the Directors such sum may be paid out of the profits of the Company or, if permitted by the Companies Law, out of capital.
 
NOTICES
 
134.                         Any notice or document may be served by the Company or by the Person entitled to give notice to any Shareholder either personally, or by posting it airmail or air courier service in a prepaid letter addressed to such Shareholder at his address as appearing in the Register, or by electronic mail to any electronic mail address such Shareholder may have specified in writing for the purpose of such service of notices, or by facsimile should the Directors deem it appropriate. In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders.
 
135.                         Any Shareholder present, either personally or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have received due notice of such meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which such meeting was convened.

137.                         Any notice or document delivered or sent in accordance with the terms of these Articles shall notwithstanding that such Shareholder be then dead or bankrupt, and whether or not the Company has notice of his death or bankruptcy, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Share registered in the name of such Shareholder as sole or joint holder, unless his name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register as the holder of the Share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all Persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the Share.
 
138.                         Notice of every general meeting of the Company shall be given to:
 
(a)                                  all Shareholders holding Shares with the right to receive notice and who have supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them; and

140.                         No Indemnified Person shall be liable:
 
(a)                                  for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other Director or Officer or agent of the Company; or

(e)                                   for any loss occasioned by any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, error of judgement or oversight on such Indemnified Person’s part; or
 
(f)                                    for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities, or discretions of such Indemnified Person’s office or in relation thereto;

WINDING UP
 
142.                         If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in such manner and order as he thinks fit in satisfaction of creditors’ claims.
 
143.                         If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution divide amongst the Shareholders 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 Shareholders or different Classes.  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 Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like sanction shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any assets whereon there is any liability.
 
AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
 
144.                         Subject to the Companies Law and the rights attaching to the various Classes, the Company may at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter or amend these Articles in whole or in part.

145.                         For the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Shareholder for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not exceed in any case 40 days.  If the Register shall be so closed for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders the 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.
 
146.                         In lieu of or apart from closing the Register, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within 90 days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.
 
147.                         If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is posted 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 Shareholders. When a determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

4.                                       Optional Conversion .
 
The holders of the Series Y Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “ Conversion Rights ”):
 
4.1                                Right to Convert .
 
4.1.1                      Conversion Ratio .  Each share of Series Y Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into 20 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “ Series Y Conversion Ratio ”). Such initial Series Y Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
 
4.1.2                      Termination of Conversion Rights .  In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 , the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not fully paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full.  In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series Y Preferred Stock.
 
4.2                                Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series Y Preferred Stock.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market on such date.  Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
 
4.3                                Mechanics of Conversion .
 
4.3.1                      Notice of Conversion .  In order for a holder of Series Y Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series Y Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation’s transfer agent at the

 
office of the transfer agent for the Series Y Preferred Stock that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Series Y Preferred Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent and (b), if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series Y Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series Y Preferred Stock.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued.  If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in customary form, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (the “ Conversion Time ”), the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such Conversion Time.  The Corporation shall promptly after the Conversion Time (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series Y Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, evidence of book entry shares for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock and (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.
 
4.3.2                      Reservation of Shares .  The Corporation shall at all times when the Series Y Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series Y Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series Y Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series Y Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Designations.
 
4.3.3                      Effect of Conversion .  All shares of Series Y Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 4.2 . Any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need

 
for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock accordingly.
 
4.3.4                      Taxes .  The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4 .  The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
 
4.4                                Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations .  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which the first share of Series Y Preferred Stock was issued (the “ Series Y Original Issue Date ”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Series Y Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series Y Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series Y Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Any adjustment under this Subsection 4.4 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
4.5                                Adjustment for Certain Distributions .  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series Y Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series Y Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before such event shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series Y Conversion Ratio then in effect by a fraction:
 
(1)                                  the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such distribution, and
 
(2)                                  the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series Y Conversion Ratio shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series Y

 
Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted pursuant to this Subsection 4.5 as of the time of actual payment of such distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series Y Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series Y Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
 
4.6                                Adjustments for Other Distributions .  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series Y Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series Y Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series Y Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
 
4.7                                Certificate as to Adjustments .  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series Y Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 4 , the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series Y Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series Y Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement setting forth (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) the applicable Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted on account thereof.  The Corporation shall, upon written request at any time of any holder of Series Y Preferred Stock, promptly (but in any event not later than ten (10) days after such request), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series Y Conversion Ratio then in effect (including an explanation of how such ratio was calculated), and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series Y Preferred Stock.
 
5.                                       Mandatory Conversion .
 
5.1                                Trigger Events .  Upon the occurrence of a merger or consolidation in which (x) the Corporation is a constituent party or (y) a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation, or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation (the time of such closing is referred to herein as the “ Mandatory

 
Conversion Time ”), then (A) all outstanding shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective Series Y Conversion Ratio as calculated pursuant to Subsection 4.1.1 and (B) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.
 
5.2                                Procedural Requirements .  All holders of record of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall receive no less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series Y Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5 .  Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice.  If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  All rights with respect to the Series Y Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 5.1 , including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 5.2 .  As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series Y Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.  Such converted Series Y Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock accordingly.
 
6.                                       Redemption .
 
6.1                                General .  Unless prohibited by applicable law governing distributions to stockholders, shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the option of an individual holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock at a price equal to (i) the Series Y Original Issue Price per share, multiplied by (ii) 0.90 (the “ Redemption Price ”). Holders of shares of Series Y Preferred stock may exercise the redemption rights under this Subsection 6.1 by sending written notice requesting redemption of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock to the Corporation (a “ Redemption Request ”) during the period beginning on the date that is 25 months from the date Series Y Preferred Stock is first issued and ending on the date that is 26 months from the date that Series Y Preferred Stock is first issued. Payment of the Redemption Price shall be made not more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a Redemption Request. Upon receipt of a Redemption Request, the Corporation shall apply all of

 
its assets to any such redemption, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law governing distributions to stockholders . The date of each such payment of the Redemption Price provided in a Redemption Notice (as defined below) shall be referred to as a “ Redemption Date. ”  On each Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem that number of outstanding shares of Series Y Preferred Stock of such holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock as indicated in the Redemption Request.  If on any Redemption Date applicable law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all shares of Series Y Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law. The “Series Y Original Issue Price” shall mean $1,180.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series Y Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Series Y Original Issue Price was computed by multiplying $59.00 by 20, which represents the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series Y Preferred Stock may be converted.
 
6.2                                Redemption Notice .  The Corporation shall send written notice of the redemption (the “ Redemption Notice ”) to each holder of record of Series Y Preferred Stock that sends a Redemption Request in accordance with Subsection 6.1 prior to each Redemption Date.  Each Redemption Notice shall state:
 
(a)                the number of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation shall redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;
 
(b)                the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price; and
 
(c)                 for holders of shares in certificated form, that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
 
6.3                                Surrender of Certificates; Payment .  On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, shall, if a holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof.  In the event less than all of the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.
 
6.4                                Rights Subsequent to Redemption .  If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be

 
available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered  and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.
 
7.                                       Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares .  Any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.  Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Series Y Preferred Stock following redemption.
 
8.                                       Transfer . A holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock may transfer such shares of Series Y Preferred Stock in whole, or in part, together with the accompanying rights set forth herein, held by such holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such transfer is in compliance with applicable securities laws. The Corporation shall in good faith (i) do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and (ii) execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, in each case, as any holder of Series Y Preferred Stock may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Section 8 .
 
9.                                       Series Y Preferred Stock Register . The Corporation shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice to the holders of the Series Y Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 10 ), a register for the Series Y Preferred Stock, in which the Corporation shall record (i) the name, address, electronic mail address and facsimile number of each holder in whose name the shares of Series Y Preferred Stock have been issued and (ii) the name, address, electronic mail address and facsimile number of each transferee of any shares of Series Y Preferred Stock. The Corporation may treat the person in whose name any share of Series Y Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes. The Corporation shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by any holder of Series Y Preferred Stock or his, her or its legal representatives.
 
10.                                Notices .  Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Certificate of Designations to be given to a holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
 
11.                                Severability .  Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions hereof.

Ebix Signs Agreement to Acquire Yatra Online, Creating India’s Leading Travel Services Platform
 
·   Strategic Combination Broadens Capabilities to Capture Growing Multi-Billion Dollar Opportunity in India
 
·   Expected to Generate 40 to 75 cents of Accretion to Ebix’s non-GAAP EPS within 9 to 12 Months Following Closing
 
Companies to Hold a Joint Conference Call over the Next Few Days
 
GURUGRAM, India and NOIDA, India and ATLANTA and NEW YORK, July 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX) and Yatra Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: YTRA) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Ebix will acquire Yatra via merger. In connection with the merger, each ordinary share of Yatra (“Yatra Ordinary Share”) will be entitled to receive 0.005 shares of a new class of preferred stock of Ebix (“Ebix Convertible Preferred Stock”). Each share of Ebix Convertible Preferred Stock received for each Yatra Ordinary Share will, in turn, be convertible into 20 shares of common stock of Ebix (“Ebix Common Stock”).
 
Based on the trailing 15-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Ebix Common Stock of $49.05 per share, each Yatra Ordinary Share convertible into Ebix Common Stock would be valued, on an as-converted basis, at $4.90 per share, representing an approximately 32% premium to Yatra’s closing share price on March 8, 2019, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of Ebix’s offer to acquire Yatra. Assuming a value of $4.90 per Yatra Ordinary Share, the transaction implies an enterprise value of $337.8mil at the Ebix collar price of $59 per share and post adjustment for Indebtedness, Working capital, Warrants to be converted and minimum cash requirement, a net equity value of $239 million.
 
Ebix will be issuing 243,747 convertible preferred stock, which in turn will be convertible into 4,874,931 shares of Ebix common stock.
 
Ebix is a leading international supplier of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance, financial, healthcare and e-learning industries. Yatra Online is the parent company of Yatra Online Pvt. Ltd., India’s leading Corporate Travel services provider and one of India’s leading online travel companies. Following the completion of the transaction, Yatra will become part of Ebix’s EbixCash travel portfolio alongside Via and Mercury and will continue to serve customers under the Yatra brand. The transaction will create India’s largest and most profitable travel services company, and a leading online travel platform poised to capture significant international growth opportunities.

 
Ebix Chairman, President and CEO Robin Raina, commented, “The acquisition of Yatra would lend itself to significant synergies and the emergence of EbixCash as India’s largest and most profitable travel services company, besides being the largest enterprise financial exchange in the country. Over the last few months, we have evolved a detailed synergistic plan, that once fully executed can provide between 40 to 75 cents of accretion to the Ebix non-GAAP EPS. We are excited by the cross-selling opportunities that this combination provides us, while further strengthening our future EbixCash IPO offering.”
 
“We are pleased to announce this agreement with Ebix, which provides our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the significant upside potential of one of the fastest growing multinational On-Demand software and E-commerce services companies in the world,” said Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and CEO of Yatra Online. “Over the last several years, we have built Yatra into one of India’s most well-recognized e-commerce brands, growing into the leading corporate travel services provider and one of the largest consumer travel companies. Becoming a part of Ebix’s EbixCash travel portfolio will enable us to continue on that path. As part of a larger diversified organization with the necessary scale and resources to be a leader in today’s dynamic travel marketplace, we will provide more options and an enhanced experience for our joint customers and will be an even stronger partner to the airline, hotel, car rental and other businesses we work with. We are confident that combining Yatra’s loyal customer base, comprehensive service offering and multi-channel platform with Ebix’s complementary Via and Mercury businesses, will create a leading online travel platform and India’s largest corporate travel platform that will capture growth opportunities and deliver enhanced value to shareholders.”
 
Strategic and Financial Benefits of the Transaction:
 
·                   Accelerates Growth Potential as a Premier International Travel Services Provider.  Under Ebix’s leading travel platform, the combined company will leverage Yatra’s large and loyal existing customer base, comprehensive service offering and multi-channel platform to take advantage of the dynamic and growing multibillion-dollar opportunity in India. The combined company will have an international footprint with more than 11,000 employees and a travel expanse spanning GCC, ASEAN and Asia Pacific countries. The transaction also provides the necessary scale to extend its travel business to North America, Latin America and Europe. Together, Ebix and Yatra will be a comprehensive global platform with “on-the-ground” presence in major markets worldwide. 
 
·                   Creates World’s Leading End-to-End Enterprise Financial and Insurance Services Provider.  Given the highly complementary nature of each company’s travel platform, the combined entity will create India’s largest end-to-end travel industry provider, offering

 
distribution, travel insurance, forex, MICE, Visa, and travel technology services. Combining Yatra’s loyal customer base, comprehensive service offering and multi-channel platform with Ebix’s complementary Via and Mercury businesses, creates a leading online travel platform that will capture cross selling growth opportunities across the EbixCash portfolio of products an customers, while delivering enhanced value to shareholders.
 
·                   Delivers Short and Long-Term Financial Benefits.  The transaction is expected to be 40 to 75 cents accretive to Ebix’s non-GAAP earnings per share within a period of 6 to 12 months from closing, once all the mutual synergies have been executed. Ebix has a proven track record of successfully integrating acquired products, services and companies in a highly disciplined and efficient manner, with resulting cash flow and earnings per share being key endpoint metrics and generating significant shareholder value.
 
·                   Creation of India’s Largest Financial and Travel EbixCash Exchange.  Ebix intends to make Yatra an integral part of the EbixCash financial and travel exchange portfolio, while targeting an EbixCash IPO in the second quarter of 2020. The synergies and the cross-selling opportunities can create tremendous economic value for the shareholders, once the IPO is done.
 
Pre-Closing Tender for Yatra Warrants
 
As a condition to the closing of the transaction, Yatra will offer newly issued Yatra Ordinary Shares in exchange for 50% of the outstanding warrants to purchase Yatra Ordinary Shares (“Yatra Warrants”). It is currently anticipated that approximately 1.3 million newly issued Yatra Ordinary Shares will be exchanged for 50% of the outstanding Yatra Warrants, representing an exchange ratio of 0.075 newly issued Yatra Shares per Yatra Warrant. Assuming the value of the underlying Ebix Common Stock to be received for each Yatra share is $4.90, the value offered per Yatra Warrant would be $0.37.
 
Redemption Option
 
The Ebix Convertible Preferred Stock will offer all Yatra shareholders the right to have redeemed, for a cash price of $5.31, the shares of Ebix Convertible Preferred Stock received per Yatra Ordinary Share. The redemption option will be available to Yatra shareholders during the 25 th  month after closing.  The redemption option is accordingly only available to Yatra shareholders who have not opted to convert the Ebix convertible preferred stock into common stock of Ebix before the 25 th month after closing.

 
Timing and Approvals
 
The transaction has been approved unanimously by each of Ebix’s and Yatra’s Boards of Directors, and it is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2019.
