Section 3.Exercise of Warrant Certificate.
(a)Exercise Procedure. This Warrant Certificate may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:
(i)delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed Exercise Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Certificate”), which certificate will specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased and the Aggregate Exercise Price; and
(ii)substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of the Exercise Certificate, payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Exercise Price be lower than the par value of a Warrant Share.
(b)Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Certificate, by any of the following methods:
(i)by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;
(ii)by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price; or
(iii)any combination of the foregoing.

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) or (iii) (such method of payment is herein referred to as “Cashless Exercise”) where the number of such shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of such shares withheld by the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder) in an amount calculated as provided pursuant to Section 3(e) below.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, for purposes of Rule 144, it is acknowledged and agreed that (i) the Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant Certificate in any Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired on the Issue Date, and (ii) the holding period for any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate in any Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the Issue Date; provided that the Company makes no representation or warranty regarding the commencement of the holding period of any Warrant Share.

5


(c)Automatic Cashless Exercise. To the extent this Warrant Certificate has not been exercised in full by the Holder prior to the date of any of the following events or circumstances, any portion of this Warrant that remains unexercised on such date shall be deemed to have been exercised automatically pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, in whole (and not in part), on the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the occurrence of the Expiration Date and (ii) the consummation of a Sale of the Company in which the consideration to be received by the Company or its shareholders consists solely of cash, Marketable Securities or a combination thereof; provided that, unless the Holder otherwise notifies the Company in writing, the automatic Cashless Exercise contemplated by this Section 3(c) shall not occur, and this Warrant Certificate shall automatically terminate without additional cost to the Borrower, in the event that, as of the Business Day immediately preceding any event described in the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share is less than the Exercise Price then in effect.
(d)Delivery of Stock Certificates. With respect to any exercise of this Warrant Certificate by the Holder, upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Certificate and delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days, deliver in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder that number of Warrant Shares for the portion of this Warrant Certificate so exercised on such date, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 3(e) below. If such Warrant Shares are issued in certificated form, the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to the applicable Exercise Certificate to the address provided by the Holder. If such Warrant Shares are issued in uncertificated form, the Company shall deliver upon request an extract of the register of members of the Company evidencing such issuance to the account designated by the Holder. Unless as otherwise provided herein, upon any exercise hereof this Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued (if applicable), and the Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.
(e)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant Certificate. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled upon such exercise, including pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.
(f)Surrender of this Warrant; Delivery of New Warrant Certificate
(i)The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until this Warrant has been exercised in full by the Holder, in which case, the Holder shall, at the written request of the Company, surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Business Days after the date the final Exercise Certificate is delivered to the Company and the Warrant Shares issuable in connection with such Exercise Certificate have been issued and delivered by the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder

6


shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder by an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares that have been issued hereunder as a result of previous exercises and withheld in connection with Cashless Exercises. Pursuant to Section 5 hereof the Company shall maintain the Warrant Register which will, among other things, record the number of Warrant Shares issued and purchased, the date of such issuances and purchases and the number of Warrant Shares withheld in connection with Cashless Exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 3(f), following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be fewer than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that there are unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares remaining under the Warrant Certificate, the Holder may request that the Company (and the Company shall), at the time of issuance of any Warrant Shares in accordance with Section 3(d) and the surrender of this Warrant Certificate, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired, unexercised and not withheld (in connection with Cashless Exercises) Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant Certificate. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Holder such new Warrant Certificate shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant Certificate.
(g)Valid Issuance of Warrant Certificate and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(i)This Warrant Certificate is, and any Warrant Certificate issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant Certificate shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized.
(ii)All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate (or any substitute or replacement Warrant Certificate) shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any pre-emptive or similar rights of any shareholder of the Company and free and clear of all liens and charges.
(iii)The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to (x) comply with Section 3(i) below and (y) ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any Organic Document to which it is subject or any applicable Law or any requirements of any U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange upon which Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise.

The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions within its power as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate.
(j)Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall:

Company as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Warrant Shares without registration.
(k)Ownership Cap. The Company shall not knowingly effect the exercise of this Warrant Certificate, and the Initial Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant Certificate to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Initial Holder (together with its Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of such voting Equity Interests beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate with respect to which the determination of such aggregate number is being made, but shall exclude Warrant Shares (if any) that do not have ordinary voting rights, if any, or that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant Certificate beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Equity Interests of the Company beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any Convertible Securities) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(k), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Initial Holder of this Warrant Certificate may rely on the number of such outstanding Equity Interests as reflected in the most recent of (i) if available, the Company’s Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) any other written notice or statement by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares. In addition, upon the written request of the Initial Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days, confirm to the Initial Holder the number of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Section 4.Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares, Exercise Price, etc. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.
(a)Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganizations, Reclassifications, etc. In the event of any changes in the aggregate number of outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company by reason of redemptions, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, splits or reverse splits, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, substitutions, replacements or the like (any of the foregoing or combination thereof being a “Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price and the aggregate number of Warrant Shares then available upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be correspondingly adjusted, such that the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for the determination of such Share Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be proportionately adjusted such that (i) the Aggregate Exercise Price shall remain unchanged and (ii) the Holder shall be entitled to receive,

9


upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the total number of Ordinary Shares it would have owned as a result of exercising this Warrant Certificate had this Warrant Certificate been exercised immediately prior to such Share Reorganization and had the Holder continued to hold such Ordinary Shares until after giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the resulting adjustment.
(b)Effect of Dividends, Distributions, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of its Ordinary Shares payable in cash, Equity Interests or other property (or prior to the exercise of this Warrant Certificate in full the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares become entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution), then upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, for each Warrant Share acquired, the Holder shall receive, without additional cost to the Holder, the total amount, number and kind of cash, Equity Interests or other property which the Holder would have received had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record as of the date such dividend or distribution was paid.
(c)Certificate as to Adjustment.
(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable upon the request of the Holder following any change or adjustment of the type described above in this Section 4, but in any event not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail such change or adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.
(ii)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other Equity Interests, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant Certificate.
(d)Notices. In the event that, at any time during the Exercise Period the Company shall take a record of the holders of its outstanding shares (or other Equity Interests at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate) for the purpose of:
(i)entitling or enabling such holders to receive any dividend or other distribution, to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;
(ii)(x) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of any outstanding securities, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, any Public Offering of the Company’s Equity Interests, or (y) a Sale of the Company; or

10


description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of its shares (or such other Equity Interests at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant Certificate) shall be entitled to exchange their shares (or such other Equity Interests), for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares.

Such new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered in accordance with such notice.
Section 9.Disputes; No Impairment, etc. The parties hereto agree as follows:
(a)Disputes. In the event of any dispute which arises between the Holder and the Company (including the Board of the Company) with respect to the calculation or determination of Fair Market Value, the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares, other Equity Interests, cash or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the amount or type of consideration due to the Holder in connection with any event, transaction or other matter described in Section 4 above or any other matter involving this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Shares that is not resolved by the parties after good faith discussions and efforts to reach resolution, upon the request of the Holder, the disputed issue(s) shall be submitted to a firm of independent investment bankers or public accountants of recognized national standing, which (i) shall be chosen by the Company and be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) shall be completely independent of the Company (an “Independent Advisor”), for determination, and such determination by the Independent Advisor shall be binding upon the Company and the Holder with respect to this Warrant Certificate, any Warrant Shares issued or issuable in connection herewith, the Exercise Price therefor, or any other matter in dispute, as the case may

12


be, absent manifest error. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.
(b)Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 9(a) above are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Holder, fairly protect the rights and benefits of the Holder represented by this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the essential intent and principles of Sections 4 and 9(a), then, in any such case, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall submit the matter and issues raised by the Holder to an Independent Advisor, which shall give its opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Sections 4 and 9(a), to the extent necessary to preserve, without dilution, the rights and benefits represented by this Warrant Certificate. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein, if any. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.
(c)No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by way of amendment of any of its Organic Documents or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action or transaction, avoid or seek to avoid the observance, performance or intended results of any of the terms of this Warrant Certificate, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment as if the Holder was a shareholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to shareholders under the Laws of the Cayman Islands.
Section 10.Compliance with the Securities Act.
(a)Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act, etc.
(i)Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 10 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate and further agrees that it shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant Certificate or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Subject to clause (ii) below, this Warrant Certificate and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the form as set forth on the face hereof.
(ii)Removal of Restrictive Legends. Neither this Warrant Certificate nor any certificates evidencing Warrant Shares issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant Certificate shall contain any legend restricting the transfer of such Warrant Certificate or Warrant Shares as applicable (including the legend required above in clause (i)) in any of the following circumstances: (A) following any sale to a non-Affiliate of the Company of this Warrant Certificate or any Warrant Shares issued or delivered to the Holder under or in connection herewith pursuant to Rule 144 or (B) if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including

13


judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC), including clause (b)(1) of Rule 144 (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends.
(iii)Replacement Warrant Certificate. The Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied it shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following written request from the Holder issue a replacement Warrant Certificate or replacement Warrant Shares, as the case may be, free of all restrictive legends.
(iv)Sale of Unlegended Shares. The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant Certificate and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 10(a)(ii) above is predicated upon the Company’s receipt of a certification from such Holder confirming that the Holder will sell this Warrant Certificate or any such securities pursuant to either an effective Registration Statement or otherwise pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and any other matters reasonably requested by the Company.
(b)Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder represents, as of the Issue Date, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate as follows:
(i)The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
(ii)The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a Public Offering and that, under such Laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
(iii)The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant Certificate and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.
