The Company has, by resolution of its board of directors, agreed to execute this Warrant Instrument and issue Warrants to subscribe for the Shares on the terms set out in this Instrument and the relevant registered holder(s) of shares and/or investors in the Company have irrevocably waived any and all pre-emption rights conferred on them (whether under Regulation 8.3 of the constitution of the Company (the “Constitution”), the Shareholders Agreements or otherwise) in relation to the issue of Warrants and any Shares pursuant to this Warrant Instrument.

SECTION 1. EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being subscribed for pursuant to such exercise as determined pursuant to Section 1.2 below (the “Subscription Price”). Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares determined in accordance with Section 1.2 below.

1.2 Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant:

(a) if Holder does not elect in the applicable Notice of Exercise to effect that exercise pursuant to Section 1.2(b) below, the number of Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to that exercise shall be the number of Shares specified in paragraph 1 of the applicable Notice of Exercise and the Subscription Price payable in respect of their exercise shall be the product of the Warrant Price multiplied by the number specified in paragraph 1 of the applicable Notice of Exercise; and

(b) if Holder does elect in the applicable Notice of Exercise to effect that exercise pursuant to this Section 1.2(b), the number of Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to that exercise shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

  X = Y(A-B)/A

where:

 

  X = the number of Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to that exercise;

 

  Y = the number of Shares specified in paragraph 1 of the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 

  A = the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and

 

  B = the Warrant Price.

and the Subscription Price payable in respect of that exercise shall be the product of the then nominal value of a Share multiplied by the number of Shares specified in paragraph 1 of the applicable Notice of Exercise and notwithstanding the Shares are issued at nominal value, the Holder shall be deemed to have paid the relevant Warrant Price per Share for the purposes of calculating any distribution or share of sale or other proceeds in each case attributable to the Shares and to the other issued shares of the Class and for all other purposes.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s ordinary shares are then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”) and the Class is ordinary shares, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of an ordinary share of the Company reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s ordinary shares are then traded in a Trading Market and the Class is a series of the Company’s convertible preferred shares, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of an ordinary share of the Company’s reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company multiplied by the number of ordinary shares into which a Share is then convertible. If the Company’s ordinary shares are not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.

1.4 Delivery of Share Certificate and New Warrant. If the Shares are in certificated form, within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a share certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization (or, if such Company shareholders beneficially own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the surviving or successor entity as of immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization, such surviving or successor entity is not the Company); or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the shareholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then total outstanding combined voting power.

(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), either (i) Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 and/or 1.2 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Acquisition or (ii) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.

(c) The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of its request relating to the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event the Company does not provide such notice, then if, immediately prior to the Cash/Public Acquisition, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2(b) above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder and Holder shall pay to the Company in the manner prescribed in Section 1.1 above an amount equal to the Subscription Price in respect of such exercise and be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof.

(d) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

(e) As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in Trading Market, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.

1.7 Shares To Be Fully Paid. All Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued and, subject to receipt by the Company of the aggregate Subscription Price for such Shares, fully paid, free of all liens, transfer taxes, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale, except as set forth in any Lock-up Agreement that may be entered into by and between Holder and the Company’s underwriters.

1.8 Additional Shares.

(a) In the event that an IPO of the Company has not occurred, in addition to the right to purchase the Initial Shares granted to Holder on the Issue Date, on the Funding Date of each Term B Loan under the Loan Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have automatically granted to Holder the right to purchase, in addition to the number of Initial Shares for which this Warrant can otherwise be exercised by Holder, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price, that number of additional Shares equal to (i) 0.0125 multiplied by (ii) the original principal amount of each such Term B Loan, divided by (iii) the Warrant Price (the “Non-IPO Additional Shares”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section 1.8 shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

(b) In the event that an IPO of the Company has occurred, in addition to the right to purchase the Initial Shares granted to Holder on the Issue Date, on the Funding Date of each Term B Loan under the Loan Agreement, the Company shall (1) be deemed to have automatically granted to Holder the right to purchase, in addition to the number of Initial Shares for which this Warrant can otherwise be exercised by Holder, at an exercise price per share equal to the applicable warrant price set forth in the IPO Additional Warrant, that number of additional Shares equal to (i) 0.0125 multiplied by (ii) the original principal amount of each such Term B Loan, divided by (iii) the applicable warrant price set forth in the IPO Additional Warrant (the “IPO Additional Shares”; together with the Non-IPO Additional Shares, collectively, the “Additional Shares”) and (2) promptly execute and deliver to Holder an additional warrant in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “IPO Additional Warrant”). Following the issuance of an IPO Additional Warrant, any future IPO Additional Shares shall be issued pursuant to Section 1.8 of such IPO Additional Warrant. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section 1.8 shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares, pays or makes a dividend or distribution or bonus issue on the issued shares of the Class payable in shares or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the issued shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares subscribable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the issued shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the issued shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

2.3 Conversion of Preferred Shares. If the Class is a class and series of the Company’s convertible preferred shares, in the event that all outstanding shares of the Class are converted, automatically or by action of the holders thereof, into ordinary shares pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial, underwritten public offering and sale of its ordinary shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act (the “IPO”), then from and after the date on which all outstanding shares of the Class have been so converted, this Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of shares of ordinary shares into which the Shares would have been converted had the Shares been outstanding on the date of

 

4


such conversion, and the Warrant Price shall equal the Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion divided by the number of shares of ordinary shares into which one Share would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. Without duplication of any adjustment otherwise provided for in this Section 2, the number of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be subject to anti-dilution adjustment from time to time in the manner set forth in the Constitution as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment.

2.5 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

2.6 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment and each reference in this Warrant to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares shall, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, be construed as a reference to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares respectively as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
