A SPAC I Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“ASCA”), A SPAC I Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“PubCo”), A SPAC I Mini Sub Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger Sub”), and NewGenIvf Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Legacy NewGenIvf”), entered into a Merger Agreement dated as of February 15, 2023 (as amended on June 12, 2023, December 6, 2023 and March 1, 2024, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for a business combination which was effected in two steps: (i) ASCA reincorporated to British Virgin Islands by merging with and into PubCo, with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) following the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy NewGenIvf, resulting in Legacy NewGenIvf being a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger,” together with Reincorporation Merger, the “Business Combination”).
On February 29, 2024, ASCA, PubCo, Legacy NewGenIvf, the Merger Sub, and certain buyers named therein led by JAK Opportunities VI LLC (collectively, the “Buyers” or “JAK”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ASCA agreed to issue and sell to the Buyers, in a private placement, an aggregate of up to $3,500,000 principal amount of convertible notes (the “Notes”), consisting of one or more tranches: (i) an initial tranche (the “Initial Tranche”) of an aggregate principal amount of Notes of up to $1,750,000 and including an original issue discount of up to aggregate $122,500, and (ii) subsequent tranches of an aggregate principal amount of Notes of up to $1,750,000 and including an original issue discount of up to aggregate $122,500. The issuance of the Initial Tranche occurred on the date of the closing of the Business Combination. In connection with the issuance, JAK received a certain amount of ordinary shares of the Purchaser (the “Commitment Shares”), which were converted from NewGenIvf ordinary shares issued to JAK in February 2024 and equaled 295,000 ordinary shares of the Purchaser, as well as an additional 100,000 ordinary shares of the Purchaser, which were converted from NewGenIvf ordinary shares transferred by another shareholder to JAK in March 2024. In addition, a subsequent tranche of the Notes in the principal amount of $250,000 was issued and sold to JAK shortly after the closing of the Business Combination. As such, as of the date of this Report, an aggregate principal amount of Notes of $2,000,000 were issued and sold to JAK.
On March 1, 2024, ASCA entered into an acknowledgement agreement (the “Acknowledgement Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) and Legacy NewGenIvf related to the deferred underwriting commission owed to Chardan in connection with ASCA’s initial public offering. Pursuant to the Acknowledgement Agreement, ASCA will satisfy the deferred underwriting commission at the closing of the Business Combination with Legacy NewGenIvf, by (i) paying One Million U.S. Dollars (US $1,000,000) in cash to Chardan, (ii) issuing 1,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Representative Shares”), and (iii) paying Chardan 30% of the gross proceeds from the post-closing financings of ASCA, until the deferred underwriting commission is fully paid within 6 months of the closing. The Acknowledgement Agreement also grants Chardan certain registration rights with respect to the ordinary shares and sole right of first refusal for future financings of ASCA for a period of 12 months following the closing and other considerations not related to ASCA’s business combination with NewGenIvf.
On April 3, 2024, PubCo consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and Legacy NewGenIvf became a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. This Report is being filed in connection with the Business Combination.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through April 3, 2024, the effective date of the Business Combination (the “Effective Date”), there were no “disagreements,” as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, with Marcum Asia on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which such disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum Asia, would have caused Marcum Asia to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements of A SPAC I Acquisition Corp. for such periods. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through the Effective Date, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
During the years end December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through the Effective Date, neither PubCo, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Onestop regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the financial statements of PubCo and neither a written report was provided to PubCo or oral advice was provided that Onestop concluded was an important factor considered by PubCo in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (i) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, or a “reportable event,” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
PubCo provided Marcum Asia with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Report and requested that Marcum Asia furnish PubCo with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to Item 16F(a)(3) of Form 20-F, stating whether Marcum Asia agrees with the statements made by PubCo in this Report, and if not, in which respects Marcum Asia does not agree. A copy of Marcum Asia’s letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated April 9, 2024 is attached as Exhibit 15.1 to this Report.

WARRANT |
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE CERTIFIES THAT, for value received , or registered agents, is the registered holder of a Warrant or Warrants (the “Warrant”) to purchase fully paid and non-assessable Class A ordinary shares (the “Warrant Shares”), no par value, of NewGenIvf Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”). This Warrant Certificate is subject to and shall be interpreted under the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).
Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company, from time to time, in whole or in part, a number of Warrant Shares initially at the price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrant Price”), upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Warrant Price at the office or agency of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust (the “Warrant Agent”), such payment to be made subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, dated February 14, 2022, between A SPAC I Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands company (“SPAC”), and the Warrant Agent, as supplemented by the Assumption of Warrant Agreement, dated April 3, 2024, among the Company, SPAC and the Warrant Agent (as supplemented, the “Warrant Agreement”). In no event shall the registered holder(s) of this Warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement in lieu of physical settlement in Warrant Shares of the Company. The Warrant Agreement provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events, the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, set forth on the face hereof, may be adjusted, subject to certain conditions. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant Certificate refers to the price per full Warrant Share at which Warrant Shares may be purchased at the time the Warrant is exercised. The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the Warrant Price, the Redemption Trigger Price (as defined below), and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, set forth on the face hereof, may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.
Subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the exercise period provided for in the Warrant Agreement and to the extent not exercised by the end of such exercise period, such Warrants shall become null and void. The Warrants may be redeemed, subject to certain conditions, as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
Upon any exercise of the Warrant for less than the total number of full Warrant Shares provided for herein, there shall be issued to the registered holder(s) hereof or its assignee(s) a new Warrant Certificate covering the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has not been exercised.
Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent by the registered holder(s) hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of the Warrant Certificate at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any applicable tax or other governmental charge.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder(s) as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the registered holder(s), and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Warrant does not entitle the registered holder(s) to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company.
After the Warrant becomes exercisable and prior to its expiration date, the Company reserves the right to call the Warrant at any time, with a notice of call in writing to the holder(s) of record of the Warrant, giving thirty (30) days’ written notice of such call if the last reported sale price of the shares has been equal to or greater than $16.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) (the “Redemption Trigger Price”) for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which notice of such call is given, provided that (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Warrants issuable upon exercise must be effective and a current prospectus must be available for use by the registered holders hereof or (ii) the Warrants may be exercised on cashless basis as set forth in the Warrant Agreement and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The call price is
$0.01 per Warrant.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company calls the Warrant for redemption, each holder will then be entitled to exercise his, her or its Warrant prior to the date scheduled for redemption; provided that the Company may require the Registered Holder who desires to exercise the Warrant, to elect cashless exercise as set forth in the Warrant Agreement, and such Registered Holder must exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the Company so requires. Any Warrant either not exercised or tendered back to the Company by the end of the date specified in the notice of call shall be canceled on the books of the Company and have no further value except for the $0.01 call price.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of _________ ____, 2024 by and between the undersigned (the “Holder”) and A SPAC I Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Purchaser”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
BACKGROUND
A. A SPAC I Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Parent”), Purchaser, A SPAC I Mini Sub Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Merger Sub”), NewGenIvf Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted com-pany (the “Company”), and certain other parties entered into the Merger Agreement dated as of February 15, 2023 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agree-ment”).
B. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will become the 100% stockholder of the Company.
C. The Holder is the record and/or beneficial owner of shares of the Company, which will be exchanged for Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
D. As a condition of, and as a material inducement for Purchaser Parties and the Company to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Holder has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Lock-Up.
(a) During the Lock-up Period (as defined below), the Holder irrevocably agrees that it, he or she will not directly offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the Lock-up Shares (as defined below), or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any such Lock-up Shares, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of any such Lock-up Shares, in cash or otherwise, publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, or engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to any security of Purchaser.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all Lock-up Shares, including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify Purchaser’s transfer agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct Purchaser’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Holder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares, except in compliance with this Agreement.
(c) For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
(d) For purpose of this Agreement, the “Lock-up Period” shall mean, (i) with respect to the Lock-up Shares other than the Earnout Shares, the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is one (1) year thereafter; and (ii) with respect to the Earnout Shares, the period commending on the date of the issuance of such Earnout Shares and ending on the date that is one (1) year thereafter.
The restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to: (1) in the case of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, transfers or distributions to the Holder’s current general or limited partners, managers or members, stockholders, other equity holders or direct or indirect affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or to the estates of any of the foregoing; (2) transfers to a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity that is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Holder; (3) transfers by bona fide gift to a member of the Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents), in each case, of such person) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Holder or a member of the Holder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes; (4) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Holder; or (5) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, provided that in each case such transferee, distributee or devisee shall agree to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer or disposition.
In addition, after the Closing Date, if there is a Change of Control, then upon the consum-mation of such Change of Control, all Lock-up Shares shall be released from the restrictions contained herein. A “Change of Control” means: (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Purchaser and Purchaser subsidiaries to a third-party purchaser; (b) a sale resulting in no less than a majority of the voting power of the Purchaser being held by person that did not own a majority of the voting power prior to such sale; or (c) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Purchaser with or into a third-party purchaser that results in the inability of the pre-transaction equity holders to designate or elect a majority of the Board of Directors (or its equivalent) of the resulting entity or its parent company.
2. Early Release.
(a) If after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date (in the case of the Lock-up Shares other than the Earnout Shares), the VWAP of the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares over any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period is greater than or equal to $15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalization, subdivisions, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar arrangements), 20% of the Lock-up Shares (other than the Earnout Shares) shall be released from this Agreement and no longer be subject to the restrictions set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the early release arrangement contemplated by this Section 2(a) shall not apply for more than once and no more than 20% of the Lock-up Shares (other than the Earnout Shares) shall be released from this Agreement.
(b) If after the date that is six (6) months after the date of the issuance of the relevant Earnout Shares, the VWAP of the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares over any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period is greater than or equal to $15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalization, subdivisions, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar arrangements), 20% of such Earnout Shares issued on such issuance date shall be released from this Agreement and no longer be subject to the restrictions set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the early release arrangement con-templated by this Section 2(b) shall not apply for more than once and no more than 20% of such Earnout Shares shall be released from this Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties.

4. Beneficial Ownership. The Holder hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing, it does not beneficially own, directly or through its nominees (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations prom-ulgated thereunder), any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Purchaser, or any economic interest in or derivative of such stock, other than those Securities specified on the signature page hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, “Lock-up Shares” means (i) any Purchaser Ordinary Shares, any Purchaser Ordinary Shares received or issuable upon settlement of restricted share units or the exercise of options or warrants to purchase any Purchaser Ordinary Shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Purchaser Ordinary Shares, in each case, directly or indirectly held by, or beneficially owned by, the Holder immediately after the Closing, and (ii) any Earnout Shares to the extent issued pur-suant to the Merger Agreement.
5. No Additional Fees/Payment. Other than the consideration specifically referenced herein, the parties hereto agree that no fee, payment or additional consideration in any form has been or will be paid to the Holder in connection with this Agreement.
6. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. Notwith-standing anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
7. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Additional Agreements and the other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, nor may any right hereof be waived, except by an instrument in writing which refers to this Agreement and is signed by each of the parties hereto in the case of an amendment or modification or the party granting the waiver in the case of a waiver.
8. Notices. Any notice hereunder shall be sent in writing, addressed as specified below, and shall be deemed given: (a) if by hand or recognized courier service by 4:00PM on a business day, ad-dressee’s day and time, on the date of delivery, and otherwise on the first business day after such delivery; (b) if by email, on the date that transmission is confirmed electronically, if by 4:00PM on a business day, addressee’s day and time, and otherwise on the first business day after the date of such confirmation; or (c) five days after mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equi-table relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law; or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agree-ment shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) Amendment, Modification, and Termination. At any time and from time to time, the Board or the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary to comply with applicable aaws, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, unless the Board decides to follow home country practice not to seek the shareholder approval for any amendment or modification of the Plan.
SECTION 6. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) No Rights to Awards. No Participant, Employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, Employees, and other persons uniformly.
(b) No Shareholders Rights. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a Shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.
(c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under applicable laws. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by applicable laws to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy any income and payroll tax liabilities applicable to the Participant with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically approved by the Committee, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for the applicable income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.
3
(d) No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Employer to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment or services of any Employer.
(e) Unfunded Status of Awards. This Plan is unfunded and does not create, and should not be construed to create, a trust or separate fund with respect to the Plan’s benefits. This Plan does not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other Person. To the extent any Person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under the Plan, such rights are no greater than the rights of the Company’s general unsecured creditors.
(f) Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee and each delegate of such Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be made a party or in which he or she may be involved in by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against him or her, provided that the Company is given an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it personally. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise.
(g) Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.
(h) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
(i) Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.
(j) Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by the applicable laws, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
(k) Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act or any other similar law in any applicable jurisdiction. If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act or other Applicable Laws, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
(l) Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of British Virgin Islands.
(j) Appendices. The Committee may approve such supplements, amendments or appendices to the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for purposes of compliance with Applicable Laws or otherwise and such supplements, amendments or appendices shall be considered a part of the Plan.
