II TERMS FOR SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AND CONVERSION RIGHT 1. Conversion Right and Conversion Ratio The Promissory Note Holder is entitled to convert the Promissory Note into the shares of the Company in accordance with the terms described below. One (1) stock option pursuant to the Promissory Note entitles the Promissory Note Holder to subscribe for one (1) new share of the Company. Based on the subscriptions made pursuant to the stock options the Company shall issue a maximum number of 30,000,000 new Company shares. The Company has one (1) class of shares. The subscription price of one (1) new share of the Company shall be 0,07 euro per share. The subscription price has been set at the level which can be considered fair from the point of view of the Company's shareholders given the Company's share price during the past three months and the need to secure the successful issuance of the Convertible Bond. Upon using the conversion right a portion corresponding to the subscription price of the shares shall be set off against the unpaid capital of the Convertible Bond and, subject to the consideration of the Board of Directors, against the unpaid interest of the Convertible Bond. The subscription price of the shares shall be entered in entirety into the reserve for invested unrestricted equity. 2. Conversion Period and Process Regarding Use of the Conversion Right The Promissory Note Holder shall have the right to convert the Promissory Note into the Company's shares during the conversion period (subscription period of the shares) which commences on June 1, 2013 and which terminates on June 2, 2015. The conversion of the Promissory Note into the shares shall take place pursuant to the subscription rules in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act. The Promissory Note Holder shall present to the Board of Directors of the Company the written conversion request as attached in Appendix 3 which shall constitute the subscription of new shares. The Convertible Bond may be converted into shares only in its entirety. When the Board of Directors has received the conversion request and the Promissory Note Holder has assigned the Promissory Note to the Company, the Board of Directors shall approve the subscription of new shares in accordance with the Convertible Bond. Within 30 (thirty) days from the presentation of the conversion request the Company shall file with the Companies Register notification with regard to entering the new shares to the Companies Register. In addition, the Company commits to take care that the new shares entered into the Companies Register shall be entered into public trading within 30 (thirty) days from entering them to the Companies Register. 3. Shareholder Rights The new shares of the Company, which have been subscribed for by using the conversion right of the Convertible Bond, shall have the similar rights with the Company's shares issued previously from the moment the new shares have been entered into the Companies Register. 4. The Rights of the Promissory Note Holder in Certain Special Cases If the Company during the loan period issues new shares in the share issue against the payment or issues new stock options or other special rights entitling to the shares referred to in Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act so that the shareholders shall have the pre-emptive subscription right, the Promissory Note Holder shall have the same or equal right as a shareholder. Equality is reached by the means resolved by the Board of Directors of the Company by giving to the Promissory Note Holder the same priority for the subscription of share and/or convertible bond and/or stock option, and/or the exchange ratio of the Convertible Bond will be adjusted and/or the Promissory Note Holder is given the right to convert the Promissory Note to the shares during the other time period than referred to in Section II.2, or by combining the means referred to above. If the Company during the loan period issues new shares free of charge, the exchange ratio of the Convertible Bond shall be adjusted so that the percentual share of the shares to be converted by the Convertible Bond compared to all shares shall remain unaltered except for the part that the new number of shares to be converted by the Promissory Note would be a fraction. In the event that the above mentioned division would not be even, the highest round figure that will fulfill the division to the whole shares will be applied. If the Company during the loan period resolves to acquire or redeem its own shares or stock options or other special rights entitling to the shares pursuant to the Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act through an offer directed to all shareholders or holders of the above mentioned rights, an equal offer shall be made to the holder of the Promissory Note. The redemption or acquisition of the shares and stock options or other special rights entitling to the shares referred to in Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act shall thus be directed to the conversion rights of the Promissory Note pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors. Otherwise acquisition or redemption of own shares and stock options and other special rights entitling to the shares referred to under Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act shall not require any actions from the Company with regard to the Promissory Note. If the Company during the loan period distributes its funds by other means than what has been referred to in the previous section, the Promissory Note Holder shall not be entitled to participate in the distribution of the funds and the distribution of the funds shall not require any actions from the Company with regard to the Promissory Note. If the Company is placed into liquidation during the loan period, the Convertible Bond shall fall due for payment at the moment when placing the liquidation has been entered into the Companies Register. If the Company during the loan period resolves on the merger or division, the Promissory Note Holders shall be reserved a right, during the time period set by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to resolution on the merger or division, to convert the Promissory Note into shares. Alternatively the Promissory Note Holders shall be given the right to subscribe for the convertible bond issued by similar terms by the receiving company so that the subscription can be made on equal rights compared to the shares of the receiving company which have been issued to the shareholders pursuant to what has been resolved on the matter in the merger plan or division plan. After the above-mentioned time period reserved for the use of the conversion right or after the end of the subscription period of the new convertible bond, no conversion right shall exist anymore. If a redemption right or redemption obligation of the minority shareholders referred to under Chapter 18 of the Finnish Companies Act arises, after Company has received notification on the basis of the redemption right or redemption obligation, the right to convert the Promissory Note into shares during the time period resolved by the Board of Directors shall without undue delay be reserved for the Promissory Note Holders. After the above-mentioned time period reserved for the use of the conversion right, no conversion right shall exist anymore. 5. Disputes Disputes arising out of this Convertible Bond shall be settled by arbitration consisting of one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Finland Chamber of Commerce. In the event the parties to the dispute cannot agree on the arbitrator, the Finland Chamber of Commerce shall appoint the arbitrator. The place of the arbitration shall be Helsinki, Finland. 6. Other Issues The Board of Directors shall be entitled to resolve on any other matters related to the Convertible Bond and the use of the conversion right. Notifications to the Promissory Note Holders shall be submitted by letters to the postal addresses notified to the Company by each of the Promissory Note Holder. A notification is deemed to have been delivered on the working day following the date of sending the notification. III OTHER MATTERS 1. Other Issues These terms and conditions have been drafted in Finnish and in English.
