This four-party Shareholders' Agreement is designed to regulate the relations between the parties who have agreed to form a jointly-owned company (the Company). The agreement outlines the establishment and operations of the Company, as well as the rights and responsibilities of the shareholders. It includes standard clauses for minority protection, and is drafted in favor of the Minority Shareholder.

The parties will cause the Company to be incorporated as a company limited by shares with certain characteristics, such as the name, Memorandum and Articles of Association, authorized share capital, registered office, and auditors. The authorized share capital will be divided equally between the parties.

Completion of the agreement will take place once the conditions precedent are fulfilled or waived, and the parties will subscribe unconditionally for their respective shares in cash, pay for the shares in cleared funds, have their names entered in the Company's register of members, and receive share certificates.

This shareholders' agreement is crucial for the effective operation and management of the joint venture company, and should be carefully read and understood by all parties involved. The agreement is binding on all parties, and any future amendments must be agreed upon by all parties and recorded in writing.
