Section 1.1 Exchange of Existing Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Holder hereby conveys, assigns, transfers and surrenders the Existing Warrants to the Company and, in exchange, the Company shall cancel the Existing Warrants and issue the Exchange Shares and pay the Cash Consideration via wire transfer to the Holder.

Section 2.6 Investment Decision.
(a) (i) The Holder is a sophisticated investor acquiring the Exchange Shares in the ordinary course of its business and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Exchange Shares and has so evaluated the merits and risks of investing in the Exchange Shares, (ii) the Holder is able to bear the entire economic risk of investing in the Exchange Shares, (iii) the Holder is investing in the Exchange Shares with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks of such an investment and willingly assume those terms, conditions and risks and (iv) the Holder has not relied on any statement or other information provided by any person concerning the Company, the Exchange or the Exchange Shares.
(b) The Holder acknowledges that an investment in the Exchange Shares involves a high degree of risk, and the Exchange Shares are, therefore, a speculative investment. The Holder acknowledges that the terms of the Exchange have been established by negotiation between the Company and the Holder. The Holder acknowledges that the Company has not given any investment advice, rendered any opinion or made any representation to the Holder about the advisability of this decision or the potential future value of any of the Existing Warrants. THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, BY EXCHANGING THE EXISTING WARRANTS FOR COMMON SHARES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE HOLDER WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM ANY FUTURE APPRECIATION IN THE MARKET VALUE OF THE EXISTING WARRANTS.
(c) The Holder has been given full and adequate access to information relating to the Company, including its business, finances and operations as the Holder has deemed necessary or advisable in connection with the Holder’s evaluation of the Exchange. The Holder has not relied upon any representations or statements made by the Company or its agents, officers, directors, employees or stockholders in regard to this Agreement or the basis thereof. The Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Exchange Shares and is not relying on the Company or any of its affiliates for any such advice. The Holder has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Holder and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The Holder has made an independent decision to exchange its Existing Warrants for Exchange Shares and is relying solely on its own accounting, legal and tax advisors, and not on any statements of the Company or any of its agents or representatives, for such accounting, legal and tax advice with respect to its acquisition of the Exchange Shares and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) The Holder is not (i) an “affiliate” of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) or (ii) the “beneficial owner” (as that term is defined under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares.
(e) The Exchange Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Exchange Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of the Holder or in connection with a pledge, the Company may require the Holder thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Exchange Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
(f) The Holder acknowledges and consents, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Exchange Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(A)(2) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.
Section 2.7 No Remuneration. Neither the Holder nor anyone acting on the Holder’s behalf has paid or given any person a commission or other remuneration directly or indirectly in connection with or in order to solicit or facilitate the Exchange.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties or results of operations of the party, or an event, change or occurrence that would materially adversely affect the ability of the party to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 3.2 Valid and Enforceable Agreement; Authorization. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Holder, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity.
Section 3.3 Valid Issuance of the Exchange Shares. The Exchange Shares, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, Liens, charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Holder in Article II of this Agreement, the Exchange Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

Section 3.4 No Remuneration. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf has paid or given any commission or other remuneration to any person directly or indirectly in connection with or in order to solicit or facilitate the Exchange.
Section 3.5 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Class A Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. Except as disclosed in the press release or filings of the Company made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market (defined below) on which the Class A Ordinary Shares is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market.

Certificates evidencing the Exchange Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 2.6(f) hereof), (i) following any sale of such Exchange Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Exchange Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Exchange Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Holder if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If the Exchange Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if the Exchange Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Exchange Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Exchange Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 2.6(g), it will, at the request of the Holder and within five (5) business days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing the Exchange Shares, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.6(g). Certificates for the Exchange Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker or clearing firm with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder.
Section 3.7 Liquidated Damages. In addition to such Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in United States currency cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Exchange Shares (based on the closing transaction price reported by the principal Trading Market for the Class A Ordinary Shares on the date Exchange Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Sections 2.6(f) and 3.6, $10 per Trading Day (defined below), and increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue, for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Exchange Shares so delivered to the Company by such Holder that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Class A Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of Exchange Shares, or a sale of a number of Class A Common Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of exchange Shares that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Class A Common Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Exchange Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Holder by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Class A Common Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Holder to the Company of the applicable Exchange Shares and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for trading.
