Notwithstanding the express provisions of Clauses 9.1-9.5, in any reconstruction or alteration of capital, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion under Clause 7.4 or the Issue Price or both must be reorganised so that a Noteholder will not receive a benefit that holders of Ordinary Shares do not receive.
