Certain Adjustments.
|
a. Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on the Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant)(“Ordinary Shares Equivalents”), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, then in each case the Per Share Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) 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 shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective at the close of business on the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. The number of Ordinary Shares that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of Ordinary Shares that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3(a)) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Per Share Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3(a)) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Per Share Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section 3(a)).
b. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company but excluding any exchange of securities or merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification of or similar change in the Ordinary Shares) (each such event, a “Reorganization”), the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such Reorganization, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 3(a) or 3(b); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 3 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization. The Company shall require the issuer of any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant to be responsible for all of the agreements and obligations of the Company hereunder. Notice of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.
4
c. No adjustment in the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 per Ordinary Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (other than this subsection 3(c)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution, if any, to the Holder of this Warrant or Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Per Share Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable. Anything in this Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 3 shall have the net effect of increasing the Per Share Warrant Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise.
d. Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted as provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights of a Holder of Warrants in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly prepare a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to unless requested by a Majority of the Holders, obtain, at its expense, a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect after such adjustment or the effect of such modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the Holders of the Warrants.
e. If the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any dividend or other distribution with respect to the Ordinary Shares other than a cash distribution out of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holders of the Warrants not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed for determining stockholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other distribution.
f. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or Ordinary Shares and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder of any Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares or such classes of capital stock or Ordinary Shares and other capital stock.
g. In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of the adjustments set forth in this Section 3 then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the purchase rights represented by the Warrants. Upon such determination, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustments described therein.
5
4. Call Option. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company, at its option, may call up to one hundred percent (100%) of this Warrant by providing the Holder written notice pursuant to Section 14(a) (the “Call Notice”) if the Per Share Market Value of the Ordinary Shares is equal to or greater than $10.00 (as may be adjusted for any stock splits or combinations of the Ordinary Shares) for a period of third (30) consecutive Trading Days, provided, further, that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is in effect from the date of delivery of the Call Notice until the date which is the later of (A) the date the Holder exercises the Warrant pursuant to the Call Notice and (B) the 10th Trading Day after the Holder receives the Call Notice (the “Early Termination Date”). The rights and privileges granted pursuant to this Warrant with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock subject to the Call Notice (the “Called Warrant Shares”) shall expire on the Early Termination Date if this Warrant is not exercised with respect to such Called Warrant Shares prior to such Early Termination Date. In the event this Warrant is not exercised with respect to the Called Warrant Shares, the Issuer shall remit to the Holder of this Warrant (1) $0.01 per Called Warrant Share and (2) a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Shares, if any, which shall not have been subject to the Call Notice upon the Holder tendering to the Issuer the applicable Warrant certificate.
5. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Ordinary Shares represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, subject to compliance by the Holder with the terms hereof, at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal imposed by any agreement to which the Company is a party, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value, if any, per share of the Ordinary Shares is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company shall pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.
6. Registration Under Act. The Holder shall have the right to participate in the registration rights granted to purchasers of the Units (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) pursuant to Section VII of the Subscription Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions in Section VII of the Subscription Agreement.

Investment Intent; Limited Transferability.
|
a. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws, as more fully described in the Subscription Agreement which the Holder represents and warrants that Holder has carefully reviewed. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and hold any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder further represents to the Company, by accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority to accept this Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.
b. The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for its own account for investment (and not as a nominee or agent) and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder agrees, by acceptance of this Warrant, that this Warrant and any such securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act.
6
c. In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1 and in accordance with the legend on the first page hereof, this Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by the Holder in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability of any of its rights to acquire Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular Ordinary Share when (i) such security shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (ii) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) a letter shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the Securities Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the Holder or holder of an Ordinary Share then outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the Warrant or for such Ordinary Shares not bearing any restrictive legend. The Company may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as it appears on the Company’s books at any time as the Holder for all purposes. The Company shall permit any Holder of a Warrant or its duly authorized attorney, upon written request during ordinary business hours, to inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the registered Holders of Warrant. All Warrants issued upon the transfer or assignment of this Warrant will be dated the same date as this Warrant, and all rights of the holder thereof shall be identical to those of the Holder unless, in each case, otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
d. The Holder has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrants or the exercise of the Warrants; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.
e. The Holder did not (i) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (ii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference whose attendees were, to such Holder’s knowledge, invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
f. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D or a “non United States person” (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) under Regulation S under the Securities Act. Such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of the Subscription Agreement and this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Warrants and Warrant Shares.
7
g. Either by reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), such Holder has the capacity to protect such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement. The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment 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. Holder also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.
