2.2. Each Warrantholder shall have the number of Warrants set forth opposite its name on Schedule 3 hereto (the Warrant Register) and the Issuer shall update Schedule 3 from time to time to reflect any Exercises and any transfers of the Warrants. The Issuer may deem and treat the registered holder of a Warrant as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone), for all purposes, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary (except to the extent Warrants may have been transferred in accordance with clause 3).

4.6. The Issuer hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney with full right of substitution to each Warrantholder to act on behalf of the Issuer in relation to the execution of a Deed of Issue, to the extent such Warrantholder has sent the Issuer an Exercise Notice and the Issuer has failed to perform its obligations pursuant to clause 4.4 and 4.5 (this power of attorney can also be exercised and is valid even if there is a conflict or possible conflict of interest within the meaning of section 68 of book 3 of the Dutch Civil Code (Selbsteintritt)). The Issuer is obliged to grant a further power of attorney authorising a Warrantholder to act on behalf of the Issuer in relation to the execution of a Deed of Issue, to the extent such Warrantholder has sent the Issuer an Exercise Notice and requires the Issuer to grant it such further power of attorney.
5. ADJUSTMENTS
5.1. Adjustment for stock splits, dividends and combinations
If the Issuer:
5.1.1. pays a dividend in Equity Shares or makes a distribution in Equity Shares on the then outstanding Equity Shares;
5.1.2. subdivides its outstanding Equity Shares into a greater number of Equity Shares;
5.1.3. combines its outstanding Equity Shares into a smaller number of Equity Shares;
5.1.4. makes a distribution to the holders of its then outstanding Equity Shares in shares of its share capital other than Equity Shares;
5.1.5. repurchases (inkopen) outstanding Equity Shares; or
5.1.6. issues any shares in its share capital in connection with a recapitalisation or reclassification of its then outstanding Equity Shares,
then the number of Shares to be acquired upon exercise of a Warrant shall be proportionally adjusted so that each Warrantholder will receive, upon exercise, the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which it would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrantholder had exercised its Warrant in full immediately prior to such action. Upon such adjustment of the number of Shares to be acquired upon exercise of a Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be equitable and proportionally adjusted so that the aggregate consideration payable by such Warrantholder upon exercise of its Warrant remains the same.
4
An adjustment made pursuant to this clause 5.1 shall become effective immediately after the payment or distribution in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, repurchase, recapitalisation or reclassification.
If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this clause 5.1 and 5.6, a Warrantholder upon exercise may receive shares of two or more classes or series of shares in the capital of the Issuer, the Board shall determine the allocation of the applicable adjusted Exercise Price between the classes or series of shares. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price of each class or series of shares shall thereafter be subject to further adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Equity Shares in this clause 5.
Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
5.2. Adjustment for rights issues
If the Issuer distributes any rights, options or warrants to the holders of its Equity Shares to acquire or purchase Equity Shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Equity Shares at a price per share (or with an initial conversion, exchange or exercise price) less than the then current Exercise Price, the then current Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
E = E x | O + N x P |
|
|
| O + N |
where:
E = the adjusted Exercise Price.
E = the Exercise Price.
O = the number of Equity Shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable dilutive issuance.
N = the number of additional Equity Shares issued (or deemed to be issued) in the dilutive issuance.
P = the conversion, exchange or exercise price per share of the additional Equity Shares issued (or deemed to be issued) in the dilutive issuance.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights, options or warrants. If at the end of the period during which such rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants shall have been exercised, the Exercise Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been if N in the above formula had been the number of shares actually issued.
5
5.3. Adjustment for Equity Shares issue
If the Issuer issues Equity Shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Equity Shares for a consideration per share less than the then current Exercise Price, the then current Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
E = E x | O + N x P |
|
|
| O + N |
where:
E = the adjusted Exercise Price.
E = the then current Exercise Price.
N = the number of additional Equity Shares issued (or deemed to be issued) in the dilutive issuance.
O = the number of Equity Shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable dilutive issuance.
P = the consideration price per share received for the issuance of such additional shares.
The adjustments shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.
This clause 5.3 does not apply to:
5.3.1. any of the transactions described in clauses 5.1 or 5.2;
5.3.2. the exercise of Warrants, or the conversion or exchange of other securities convertible or exchangeable for Equity Shares;
5.3.3. Equity Shares issued to the Issuers employees, consultants or directors under bona fide benefit plans validly adopted by the Board, if such Equity Shares would otherwise be covered by this clause 5.3;
5.3.4. Equity Shares issuable upon the exercise of rights or warrants issued to the holders of Equity Shares; or
5.3.5. Equity Shares issued to shareholders of any person which merges with or into the Issuer, provided that the applicable merger has been approved by the Board.
5.4. Notice of adjustment and certain transactions
If:
5.4.1. the Issuer takes any action that would require an adjustment to the Exercise Price
6
pursuant to clauses 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 or otherwise;
5.4.2. the Issuer is liquidated, dissolved or merged; or
5.4.3. the Exercise Price is adjusted,
the Issuer shall notify the Warrantholders in accordance with clause 8.3, stating all relevant details of the notified event and stating the envisaged date of the notified event. The Issuer shall send the notice at least 15 Business Days prior to such envisaged date.
5.5. Determination
Any determination that the Issuer must make pursuant to clauses 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 shall be made in good faith and shall bear in mind the interest of the Warrantholders. Any such determination shall only become conclusive and binding on the Warrantholders if and to the extent the Warrantholder Majority has agreed to the determination in writing.
5.6. Adjustment in number of shares
In the event of any adjustment made pursuant to clauses 5.2 or 5.3, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the Exercise of any Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, so that it is equal to the number of Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a quotient, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
5.7. Undertaking to issue additional Warrant Shares
If and to the extent that as a result of one or more adjustments to the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this clause 5, the Resolution does not authorise the issuance of a sufficient number of Shares to settle the exercise of all Warrants, the Issuer shall procure (i) that the Board shall adopt an additional resolution to authorise the issuance of such number of Shares as required as a result of such adjustments and (ii) that the board of supervisory directors approves such additional resolution.
6. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT
6.1. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of clause 5 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the rights represented by the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of clause 5, then, in each such case, the Board may agree with the Warrantholder Majority to make such adjustments to the Warrants, the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares to be obtained upon exercise of the Warrants on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in clause 5, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the rights, represented by the Warrants. Upon reaching such agreement, the Issuer will promptly make the agreed adjustments.
6.2. The Issuer will not, by amendment of its articles of association or through any merger, demerger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants or this Warrant Agreement, 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 of the Warrants against dilution or
7
other impairment.
7. COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER
7.1. The Issuer undertakes that during the Warrant Period (except with the prior written consent of the Warrantholders):
7.1.1. it will at all times keep available for issue sufficient authorised share capital to satisfy in full the exercise of all the unexercised Warrants;
7.1.2. it will not modify the rights attached to any Shares in any way which could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the rights of the Warrantholders; and
7.1.3. it will not amend its articles of association in any way which would prevent any Warrantholder from exercising its Warrants.
8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
8.1. Winding up of the Issuer
If, prior to the end of the Warrant Period, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for winding up the Issuer, each Warrantholder who pays the Exercise Price, will (at its election, in lieu of payments which would otherwise have been due to it in respect of its Warrant Shares) be treated as if, immediately before the date of such order or resolution, all the Warrants had been exercised in full and shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation such sum (if any) as it would have received had it been the holder of the Shares to which it would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise. For the purposes of this clause 8.1, the Warrantholders will be regarded as creditors within the meaning of section 23b of Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code.
8.2. Fractional interests
The Issuer shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this clause 8.2, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Issuer shall pay to the Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
8.3. Notices
All notices, consents, waivers and other communications under this Warrant Agreement must be in writing in English and delivered by hand or sent by registered mail, express courier, fax or e-mail to the appropriate addresses and fax numbers set out below, or to such addresses and facsimile numbers as a Party may notify to the other Parties from time to time. A notice shall be effective upon receipt and shall be deemed to have been received at the time of delivery, if delivered by hand, registered mail or express courier or at the time of successful transmission, if delivered by fax or e-mail.
