Company and/or give the Promoters an option to purchase to provide them an exit by
buying back the shares at a Fair Value, determined by a mutually agreed independent
valuer.

exit opportunity then the same will be first offered to Investors, in proportion to their
shareholding in the Company (on a Fully Diluted basis).

11.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 11, if twenty five percent (25%) or more of
