Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section (14).
(1) GENERAL TERMS

On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note.

(b) Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 5 % (“Interest Rate”), which Interest Rate shall increase to an annual rate of 15% for the remainder of the term for so long as any Event of Default remains uncured. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(v) the Company's (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of ADSs within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Failure or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Notes into Ordinary Shares, the deposit of such Ordinary Shares with the Depositary and the issuance of the ADSs representing such Ordinary Shares that are tendered in accordance with the provisions of the Notes, other than pursuant to Section (5)(d);
2
(vi) The Company shall fail to observe or perform any other material covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any material breach or default of any provision of this Note (except as may be covered by Section (2)(a)(i) through (2)(a)(viii) hereof) or any Transaction Document (as defined in Section (14)) which is not cured within the time prescribed.
(vii) The depositary agreement between the Depositary and the Company shall be amended or changed in any manner that is materially disadvantageous to ADS holders in general or to the Holder, or such agreement, or the ADS facility, is terminated.
(viii) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.
(b) During the time that any portion of this Note is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the full unpaid Principal amount of this Note, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert this Note (subject to the beneficial ownership limitations set out in Section (4)(e)) at any time after (x) an Event of Default (provided that such Event of Default is continuing) or (y) the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, (other than required notice of conversion) and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(3) REDEMPTIONS
(a) Monthly Principal Cash Redemptions. The Company shall, at its own option, (i) redeem in cash each Redemption Amount (as defined in Section (14)) set forth on the Redemption Schedule (as defined in Section (14)) (a “Company Redemption”) on each applicable Redemption Date (as defined in Section (14)), subject to the provisions of Section (3)(a) and (3)(b), (ii) allow such Redemption Amount to be Converted by the Holder in accordance with Section (4)(c), or (iii) redeem in a combination of cash and ADSs. On or prior to the date which is the third (3rd) Trading Day prior to each Redemption Date (each, a “Redemption Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (each, an “Company Redemption Notice”) to the Holder which Company Redemption Notice shall either: (i) confirm that the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder in whole, or in part, pursuant Section (4)(c) anytime after the applicable Redemption Date; or (ii) state that the Company elects to redeem, in whole or in part, the applicable Redemption Amount in cash pursuant to a Company Redemption. If the Company does not timely deliver a Company Redemption Notice in accordance with this Section (3)(a), then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered a Company Redemption Notice confirming that the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder in accordance with Section (4)(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that there is an Equity Conditions Failure with respect to the conversion in full of a Redemption Amount then the Company shall be required to redeem in cash the portion of the applicable Redemption Amount that would be subject to an Equity Conditions Failure, and (ii) in the event that the daily VWAP on each of the five consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Redemption Date exceeds a price equal to 108% of the Fixed Conversion Price and no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred during such period then no cash redemption shall be due on such Redemption Date. The amounts of any conversions made by the Holder at the Fixed Conversion Price, or pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) hereof, or any Optional Redemptions made by the Company pursuant to this Note contemporaneous with or prior to any Redemption Date shall have the effect of adjusting the Redemption Schedule by reducing the Redemption Amount of each payment coming due by a pro rata amount.
3
(b) Company Redemption. If the Company elects a Company Redemption in cash in accordance with Section (3)(a), then the Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Redemption Date shall be paid by the Company on or before such Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in an amount in cash equal to the Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to redeem the full Redemption Amount on the applicable Redemption Date, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered a Company Redemption Notice confirming that the unpaid portion of the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder.
(c) Company Additional Early Redemption. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early in cash a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note as described in this Section; provided that (i) the Company provides the Holder with at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Optional Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption, and (ii) the trading price of the ADS is less than the Fixed Conversion Price at the time of the delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice. Each Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the outstanding balance of the Convertible Debentures to be redeemed and the applicable Redemption Amount. The “Optional Redemption Amount” shall be equal to the outstanding Principal balance being redeemed by the Company times the Redemption Premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. On the 11th Business Day after the Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Optional Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions effected pursuant to the terms of this Note during the 10 Business Day period.
(4) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into the Company's Ordinary Shares, which would be deposited for delivery of ADSs so long as the conversion is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (4).
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the limitations of Section (4)(e), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section (4)(b) and (4)(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company will deposit such Ordinary Shares and cause the delivery of ADSs to the Holder. The number of ADSs issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (4)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate") and the underlying Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be determined by multiplying the resulting number of ADSs by the then applicable Ordinary Share-to-ADS conversion ratio, which is set at one (1) ADS representing fifty (50) Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof. No fraction of an ADS will be delivered upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an ADS, the Company shall round such fraction of a share up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall bear all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount as well as any conversion or issuance fees of the Depositary in respect of the ADSs.
4
(i) "Conversion Amount" means the portion of the Principal, accrued Interest, and Premium Payment (if applicable) to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.
(ii) "Conversion Price" means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination (A) with respect to a Conversion pursuant to Section (4)(b), $3.00 per ADS (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), and (B) with respect to a Conversion pursuant to Section (2)(b) or Section (4)(c), the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price, or (ii) 100% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Variable Conversion Price”), but not lower than the Floor Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Note.
(b) The Holder may at any time and from time to time, elect to convert any Principal amount which is outstanding, and any accrued and unpaid interest, at a Conversion Price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price by serving a Conversion Notice on the Company in accordance with Section (4)(d).
(c) Conversions at the Variable Conversion Price.
(i) In respect of any Redemption Amount subject to a Company Redemption Notice confirming (or deemed to pursuant to Section (3)(a) or (3)(b)) that the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder, the Holder may, at any time and from time to time after such applicable Redemption Date, convert a Conversion Amount up to the applicable Redemption Amount (or any portion thereof) at a Conversion Price based on the Variable Conversion Price by serving a Conversion Notice on the Company, and subject to, and in accordance with, Section (4)(d).
(ii) In addition to clause 4(c)(i), the Holder may, at its option, convert an additional amount per month equal to $1,000,000 of Principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus the applicable Payment Premium at a Conversion Price based on the Variable Conversion Price by serving a Conversion Notice on the Company, and subject to, and in accordance with, Section 4(d) of the if the Variable Conversion Price for such conversions are $2.00 or greater.
5
(d) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Ordinary Shares to be converted into ADSs on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and the Depositary, and (B) if required by Section (4)(d)(iii), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on the ADS certificates and provided that the Depositary is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deposit Ordinary Shares and instruct the Depositary to credit the ADSs to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal and Custodian system, as specified in the Conversion Notice or (Y) if the Depositary is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deposit Ordinary Shares and instruct the Depositary to deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of ADSs specified in the Conversion Notice. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive ADSs issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such ADSs upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice and any other documentation required by the Depositary, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of ADSs to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount, such event shall constitute a conversion failure, subject to the limitations on conversion outlined in Sections 4(c)(i) and (ii) below (a "Conversion Failure"), provided however, the Company shall get an extension of two Trading Days in the event that a delay occurs through no fault of the Company.
(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
6
(e) Limitations on Conversions.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or otherwise receive ADSs or Ordinary Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such ADSs or Ordinary Shares, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of ADSs representing beneficial ownership in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares without regard to any other ADSs or Ordinary Shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder, provided however, upon the request of the Company, the Holder shall report its holdings in ADSs and Ordinary Shares to the Company. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other ADSs or Ordinary Shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(ii) Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Ordinary Shares or ADSs upon conversion of this Note, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs, together with any Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued in connection with any related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs that the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and shall be referred to as the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the NYSE for issuances of shares in excess of such amount or (B) invokes the home country exemption and obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company, to the extent required by the NYSE, that it may follow its home country practice, and therefore, such approval is not required. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction.
7
(iii) Sales Limitations. The Holder shall not sell such number of ADSs in any calendar month (being the 1st of the month through the last day of the same month) that would result in gross proceeds received by the Holder in excess of the greater of (a) 30% of the dollar trading volume of the Ordinary Shares during such calendar month, of (b) $3,290,000. This limitation shall not apply (i) at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (ii) with respect to any sales of ADSs at prices greater than or equal to the Fixed Conversion Price. This limitation may be waived with the consent of the Company.
(f) Other Provisions.
(i) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Ordinary Shares the full number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Note; and within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares to comply with such requirement.
(ii) All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.00001 or whole share.
(iii) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (2) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(5) Adjustments to Conversion Price
(a) RESERVED
(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of ADSs. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares which results in an increase in the number of outstanding ADSs, (b) subdivide its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a larger number of Ordinary Shares of ADSs, (c) combine (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, or (d) issue additional Ordinary Shares or ADSs by reclassification of ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any shares of capital stock of the Company, then each of the Fixed Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs outstanding after such event, provided however, the Floor Price shall not be adjusted upon any event described in subpart (c) of this Section. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
8
(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section (5) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features, changing the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS, or issuing Convertible Securities with a variable conversion formula that is more favorable than this Note), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section (5).
(d) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares or ADSs (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder's option, (i) in addition to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Ordinary Shares or ADSs had such shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.
(e) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (5) hereof, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(f) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company controlling more than one-half of the assets of the Company with or into another Person not affiliated with the Company, or (2) sale by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section (2)(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Note then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders Ordinary Shares or ADSs following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the ADSs into which such aggregate Principal amount of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a Convertible Note with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued Convertible Note shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Note set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Notes were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of Convertible Notes shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each Ordinary Share would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

(6) REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.
(a) Transfer. This Note may be transferred to a party affiliated with the Holder at any time and may be transferred to a party not affiliated with the Holder only after the reasonable determination by the Company that such transfer would not cause the Company to be out of compliance any of the requirements of the applicable securities laws and regulations. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof) and, if less then the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred.

On or prior to the date which is the third (3rd) Trading Day prior to each Redemption Date (each, a “Redemption Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (each, an “Company Redemption Notice”) to the Holder which Company Redemption Notice shall either: (i) confirm that the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder in whole, or in part, pursuant Section (4)(c) anytime after the applicable Redemption Date; or (ii) state that the Company elects to redeem, in whole or in part, the applicable Redemption Amount in cash pursuant to a Company Redemption. If the Company does not timely deliver a Company Redemption Notice in accordance with this Section (3)(a), then the Company shall be deemed to |
4 have delivered a Company Redemption Notice confirming that the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder in accordance with Section (4)(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that there is an Equity Conditions Failure with respect to the conversion in full of a Redemption Amount then the Company shall be required to redeem in cash the portion of the applicable Redemption Amount that would be subject to an Equity Conditions Failure, and (ii) in the event that the daily VWAP on each of the five consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Redemption Date exceeds a price equal to 108% of the Fixed Conversion Price and no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred during such period then no cash redemption shall be due on such Redemption Date. The amounts of any conversions made by the Holder at the Fixed Conversion Price, or pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) hereof, or any Optional Redemptions made by the Company pursuant to this Note contemporaneous with or prior to any Redemption Date shall have the effect of adjusting the Redemption Schedule by reducing the Redemption Amount of each payment coming due by a pro rata amount. (b) Company Redemption. If the Company elects a Company Redemption in cash in accordance with Section (3)(a), then the Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Redemption Date shall be paid by the Company on or before such Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in an amount in cash equal to the Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to redeem the full Redemption Amount on the applicable Redemption Date, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered a Company Redemption Notice confirming that the unpaid portion of the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder. (c) Company Additional Early Redemption. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early in cash a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note as described in this Section; provided that (i) the Company provides the Holder with at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Optional Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption, and (ii) the trading price of the ADS is less than the Fixed Conversion Price at the time of the delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice. Each Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the outstanding balance of the Convertible Debentures to be redeemed and the applicable Redemption Amount. The “Optional Redemption Amount” shall be equal to the outstanding Principal balance being redeemed by the Company times the Redemption Premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. On the 11th Business Day after the Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Optional Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions effected pursuant to the terms of this Note during the 10 Business Day period. (4) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into the Company's Ordinary Shares, which would be deposited for delivery of ADSs so long as the conversion is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (4). (a) Conversion Right. Subject to the limitations of Section (4)(e), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section (4)(b) and (4)(c), at the Conversion |
5 Rate (as defined below). The Company will deposit such Ordinary Shares and cause the delivery of ADSs to the Holder. The number of ADSs issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (4)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate") and the underlying Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be determined by multiplying the resulting number of ADSs by the then applicable Ordinary Share-to-ADS conversion ratio, which is set at one (1) ADS representing fifty (50) Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof. No fraction of an ADS will be delivered upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an ADS, the Company shall round such fraction of a share up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall bear all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount as well as any conversion or issuance fees of the Depositary in respect of the ADSs. (i) "Conversion Amount" means the portion of the Principal, accrued Interest, and Premium Payment (if applicable) to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made. (ii) "Conversion Price" means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination (A) with respect to a Conversion pursuant to Section (4)(b), $3.005.00 per ADS (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), and (B) with respect to a Conversion pursuant to Section (2)(b) or Section (4)(c), the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price, or (ii) 100% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Variable Conversion Price”), but not lower than the Floor Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Note. (b) The Holder may at any time and from time to time, elect to convert any Principal amount which is outstanding, and any accrued and unpaid interest, at a Conversion Price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price by serving a Conversion Notice on the Company in accordance with Section (4)(d). (c) Conversions at the Variable Conversion Price. (i) Only inIn respect of any Redemption Amount subject to a Company Redemption Notice confirming (or deemed to pursuant to Section (3)(a) or (3)(b)) that the applicable Redemption Amount may be converted by the Holder, may the Holder may, at any time and from time to time after such applicable Redemption Date, convert a Conversion Amount up to the applicable Redemption Amount (or any portion thereof) at a Conversion Price based on the Variable Conversion Price by serving a Conversion Notice on the Company, and subject to, and in accordance with, Section (4)(d). (i)(ii) In addition to clause 4(c)(i), the Holder may, at its option, convert an additional amount per month equal to $1,000,000 of Principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus the applicable Payment Premium at a Conversion Price based on the Variable Conversion Price by serving a Conversion Notice on the Company, and subject to, and in |
6 accordance with, Section 4(d) of the if the Variable Conversion Price for such conversions are $2.00 or greater. (c)(d) Mechanics of Conversion. (i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Ordinary Shares to be converted into ADSs on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and the Depositary, and (B) if required by Section (4)(d)(iii), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on the ADS certificates and provided that the Depositary is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deposit Ordinary Shares and instruct the Depositary to credit the ADSs to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal and Custodian system, as specified in the Conversion Notice or (Y) if the Depositary is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deposit Ordinary Shares and instruct the Depositary to deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of ADSs specified in the Conversion Notice. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive ADSs issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such ADSs upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice. (ii) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice and any other documentation required by the Depositary, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of ADSs to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount, such event shall constitute a conversion failure, subject to the limitations on conversion outlined in Sections 4(c)(i) and (ii) below (a "Conversion Failure"), provided however, the Company shall get an extension of two Trading Days in the event that a delay occurs through no fault of the Company. (iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such |
7 conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. (d)(e) Limitations on Conversions. (i) Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or otherwise receive ADSs or Ordinary Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such ADSs or Ordinary Shares, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of ADSs representing beneficial ownership in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares without regard to any other ADSs or Ordinary Shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder, provided however, upon the request of the Company, the Holder shall report its holdings in ADSs and Ordinary Shares to the Company. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other ADSs or Ordinary Shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver. (ii) Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Ordinary Shares or ADSs upon conversion of this Note, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs, together with any Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued in connection with any related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs that the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and shall be referred to as the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the NYSE for issuances of shares in excess of such amount or (B) invokes the home country exemption and obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company, to the extent required by the NYSE, that it may follow its home country practice, and therefore, such approval is not required. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction. |
8 (iii) Sales Limitations. The Holder shall not sell such number of ADSs in any calendar month (being the 1st of the month through the last day of the same month) that would result in gross proceeds received by the Holder in excess of the greater of (a) 30% of the dollar trading volume of the Ordinary Shares during such calendar month, of (b) $3,290,000. This limitation shall not apply (i) at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (ii) with respect to any sales of ADSs at prices greater than or equal to the Fixed Conversion Price. This limitation may be waived with the consent of the Company. (e)(f) Other Provisions. (i) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Ordinary Shares the full number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Note; and within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares to comply with such requirement. (ii) All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.00001 or whole share. (iii) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (2) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. (5) Adjustments to Conversion Price (a) RESERVED (b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of ADSs. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares which results in an increase in the number of outstanding ADSs, (b) subdivide its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a larger number of Ordinary Shares of ADSs, (c) combine (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, or (d) issue additional Ordinary Shares or ADSs by reclassification of ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any shares of capital stock of the Company, then each of the Fixed Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs outstanding after such event, provided however, the Floor Price shall not be adjusted upon any event described in subpart (c) of this Section. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date |
9 for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. (c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section (5) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features, changing the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS, or issuing Convertible Securities with a variable conversion formula that is more favorable than this Note), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section (5). (d) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares or ADSs (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder's option, (i) in addition to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Ordinary Shares or ADSs had such shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note. (e) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (5) hereof, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. (f) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company controlling more than one-half of the assets of the Company with or into another Person not affiliated with the Company, or (2) sale by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section (2)(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Note then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders Ordinary Shares or ADSs following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the ADSs into which such aggregate Principal amount of this Note could have been converted |
10 immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a Convertible Note with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued Convertible Note shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Note set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Notes were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of Convertible Notes shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each Ordinary Share would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events. (6) REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE. (a) Transfer. This Note may be transferred to a party affiliated with the Holder at any time and may be transferred to a party not affiliated with the Holder only after the reasonable determination by the Company that such transfer would not cause the Company to be out of compliance any of the requirements of the applicable securities laws and regulations. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof) and, if less then the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note.
