The aggregate subscription price will be credited to [Entity Number] Segregated Portfolio and the Ordinary Shares will be issued in a single class to be called “[Entity Number] SP Ordinary Shares”. [Entity Number] SP Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive 100% of any amounts determined by the Board of Directors to be distributed to shareholders of [Entity Number] Segregated Portfolio, after payment of any obligations to creditors and or any distributions payable to holders of any outstanding SP Preferred Shares of [Entity Number] Segregated Portfolio outstanding, if any, at the time such distribution is paid.

In the event that any Class A shares of Series [Entity Number] are issued upon conversion of Class B shares of such Series [Entity Number] and or the exchange of [Entity Number] SP Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue additional [Entity Number] SP Ordinary Shares to Series [Entity Number] as a pro rata distribution such that at all relevant times the number of outstanding [Entity Number] SP Ordinary Shares held by Series [Entity Number] shall equal the number of outstanding Class A shares for Series [Entity Number].
Except as provided herein, the terms of the [Entity Number] SP Ordinary Shares are governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.
