Investments and on any uninvested funds) in proportion to the amounts they transferred to the Company ('investment
proportions"). No gambling or alcohol related investments may be made by the Company.
Return on Investments: Until the full investment amount transferred to the Company by the Investor and other Investors

in respect of each Investment. Thereafter 70 per cent. of all distributions and sales proceeds from Investments (net of
transaction costs) will be paid to all Investors in their investment proportions promptly upon receipt by the Company in
respect of each Investment, and the remaining 30 per cent. will be retained by the Company.
If. on 28 February 2017 (the "termination date"), the Company holds any Investment (Remaining Investment, which shall
include the securities comprising that Investment and any cash realised from Investment(s) net). the Remaining Investment
will be transferred to all Investors (net of transaction costs) in their investment proportions on the following basis: (1) to the
extent applicable on the termination date, the Remaining Investment will be so transferred to all Investors until the full
investment amounts originally transferred by them have been repaid; (2) thereafter. 70 per cent. of any balance of the
Remaining Investment will be so transferred to all Investors. and 3O per cent. will be retained by the Company; and (3) for
these purposes, the Company will determine the value of the Remaining Investment using: (i) the price of the most recent
issue of new securities or sale of existing securities subsequent to, and comprising. that Investment which was in respect of

"valuation'); or (ii) in the event that an Investment did not have a valuation, the price of the most recent issue of new
securities or sale of existing securities comprising that Investment.
In the event that both of the Directors (as defined below): either (1) die or become immediately and permanently
incapacitated so severely that it is impossible for either of them to act as a director of the Company: or (2) are certified by a
registered medical practitioner treating that Director who gives a written opinion stating that such Director has become
