     B.      WHEREAS, in order to induce the WaferGen Malaysian Investors to enter into

AGREEMENT

 

SECTION 1

PUT RIGHT

 

     1.1      Put Right. Upon receipt by WaferGen US of a written request from a Holder of

Holder’s desire to exercise the Holder’s Put Right (a “ Holder’s Put Notice ”), then all, but not

less than all, of such Holder’s Series A Shares shall be exchanged as described in Section 1.2

below (the “ Exchange ”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall have the right to

exercise such Put Right individually. After delivery of such Holder’s Put Notice, the Holder

shall deliver all of such Holder’s share certificates and duly executed share transfer forms with

respect to such Series A Shares to the Secretary of WaferGen US (or to his/her order) as

promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days after the date thereof) and take any

other actions reasonably required to effectuate the transfer of all such Holder’s Series A Shares

to WaferGen US. WaferGen US may nominate its nominee(s) to accept the transfer of the Series

A Shares. WaferGen US shall be required to comply with the requirements of this paragraph

until the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, but may in its sole discretion comply

with provisions of this paragraph after such date.

 

     1.2      The Exchange; No Fractional Shares. Upon the occurrence of an Exchange, each

of the Holder’s Series A Shares subject to such Holder’s Put Notice shall be converted into the

right to receive that number of Exchange Securities equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent of the

original purchase or subscription price per share paid for each such Holder’s Series A Share

(with such conversion to U.S. dollars being calculated as of the date of purchase) pursuant to the

Purchase Agreement, divided by the Exchange Price1 (in each case as adjusted for stock splits,

recapitalization, combinations and similar transactions). All Exchange Securities shall be

aggregated and issued to such Holder, except that no fractional shares of Exchange Securities

shall be issued upon the occurrence of an Exchange. If, after the aforementioned aggregation,

the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, WaferGen US shall, in lieu of

issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the per

share fair market value of the Exchange Securities (as determined in good faith by the Board of

Directors of WaferGen US). Subject to the delivery by the Holder of its share certificates and

other documents to WaferGen US as required hereby, upon the occurrence of the Exchange,

WaferGen US shall as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days after the date of the

Exchange) issue to such Holder share certificates representing the Exchange Securities.

 

     1.3      Rights After Exchange. From and after the applicable Exchange, all rights of the

Holder with respect to the exchanged Holder’s Series A Shares shall cease with respect to such

shares (except the right to receive the Exchange Securities, and any cash payment for fractional

shares, without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates), and such shares shall

be owned legally and beneficially by WaferGen US for all purposes and will be transferred to

WaferGen US on the books and records of the Company.

 

     1.4      Rights After Conversion. If at any time any or all of Holder’s Series A Shares are

converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company for any reason, such Holder’s Put Right

pursuant to this Agreement with respect to all of such Holder’s Series A Shares shall terminate

and expire in its entirety upon such conversion, and such Holder shall have not have any Put

Right with respect to any Ordinary Shares held by such Holder.
