The term “Holder” shall initially refer to Partners for Growth V, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership, which is the initial holder of this Warrant and
shall further refer to any subsequent permitted holder of this Warrant from time
to time.

 

The Company does hereby certify and agree that Holder that this Warrant is
issued in consideration of each prepayment of the Note (as defined in the
heading) in whole or in part Holder, or its permitted successors and assigns,
hereby is entitled to Exchange or Exercise this Warrant in the Company for up to
[●] ([●]) Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”). This Warrant is
subject to adjustment as set forth in this Warrant. Capitalized terms used but
not defined in this Warrant have their meanings as set forth in the Loan
Agreement and the Note, whether or not the Loan Agreement is then in effect.
When the term “convert” or “conversion” in relation to the Warrant is used
herein, it includes an Exchange and an Exercise, each as defined in Section
1.3(a), below, as applicable.

 

Section 1. Term, Price and Exchange of Warrant.

 

1.1 Term of Warrant. This Warrant shall be convertible from the Issue Date until
5:00 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time on the Expiration Date set forth above (hereinafter
referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

 

1.2 Exchange Price. The price per Share at which the Warrant Shares are issuable
upon conversion of this Warrant shall be $4.79 per Warrant Share (the “Exchange
Price”).

 

 

 

1 Dollar amount prepaid divided by the stated Conversion Price under the Note.

2 Date of any prepayment(s) of the Note.

 

 

 

1.3 Conversion of Warrant.

 

(a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant to the Company, together with the Election to Exchange or Exercise
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Election”) duly completed and executed with
“Exercise” selected as the mode of conversion, and upon payment to the Company
of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this
Warrant is then being exercised (an “Exercise”). In whole or in part in lieu of
an Exercise, Holder may convert this Warrant on a cashless basis by so
indicating in the Election and proceeding in accordance with the remainder of
this Section 1.3 (an “Exchange”). In each above case, Holder shall surrender
this Warrant to the Company at its then principal offices, together with the
Election duly completed and executed.

 

(b) Upon an Exchange, Holder shall receive Warrant Shares such that, without the
payment of any funds, Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the
number of Warrant Shares equal to “X” (as defined below), computed using the
following formula:

 

  X = Y * (A-B)       A  

 

Where                 X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder  
Y = the number of Warrant Shares to be converted under this Warrant   A = the
Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share   B = the Exchange Price (as adjusted to
the date of such calculations)   * = multiplied by

 

(c) For purposes of calculating Fair Market Value for purposes of Exchanging
this Warrant, the “Fair Market Value” of one Warrant Share shall be (i) if the
Company’s securities become listed on an internationally-recognized securities
exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading
Market”), the average closing sale price reported on such exchange for such
listed securities during the 90-trading day period immediately prior to the date
Holder delivers its Election to the Company, or (ii) if the Company’s securities
are traded over-the-counter, the highest average of bid and ask price for such
securities over the 90-trading day period immediately prior to the day Holder
delivers its Election to the Company, in each case of (i) and (ii), above, if
the Warrant Shares are convertible into such listed or over-the-counter traded
securities other than on a one-to-one basis, multiplied by the ratio at which
one Warrant Share converts into such other security. If the Company’s securities
are not listed or traded as contemplated in clauses (i) or (ii), above, the Fair
Market Value of the Warrant Shares shall be the price per Warrant Share which
the Company could obtain from a willing buyer of Warrant Shares sold by the
Company from its authorized but unissued share capital, initially as the Board
of Directors of the Company (“Board”) shall determine in its reasonable good
faith judgment, subject to Holder’s valuation rights below, but in no event less
than the price to which a holder of Warrant Shares would be entitled based on an
enterprise valuation of the Company (including its Subsidiaries if part of a
Group) as a going concern and the application of the rights, preferences and
privileges of the Company’s outstanding securities as set forth in the Company’s
Constitutional Documents without discount for minority, control or lack of
marketability. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Board relies on an appraisal
(including a “409A”-type valuation) to determine the Fair Market Value of the
Warrant Shares, such determined Fair Market Value from such appraisal may not
assume the automatic conversion of all convertible securities in deriving such
Fair Market Value but, instead, shall be based on enterprise value and
application of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s
outstanding securities as set forth in the Company’s Constitutional Documents as
if the Company (or Group) were being sold in an Acquisition for cash to
determine what dollar value each class of security would receive upon such
Acquisition. If the Warrant is to be converted in connection with an Acquisition
(in fact), the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall be based on the
enterprise value specified or implied in such Acquisition and shall be the
greater of (A) the value attributable to the Warrant Shares and (B) the value
attributable to the Company securities into which the Warrant Shares are (or may
be) convertible (but subject to Holder’s conversion directly into such other
Company securities). If Holder disagrees the Board's determination, Holder may
engage an independent appraiser to determine fair market value of the Warrant
Shares the foregoing basis at shared expense between the Company and Holder. If
the fair market value difference between the Board's determination and the
determination by Holder's appraiser is less than 30%, then the average between
the two determinations shall be deemed to be the fair market value. If the
difference is 30% or more, then the parties shall agree a second appraiser, with
each party bearing half of the expense of such second appraiser, and the
determination of such appraiser shall be deemed to be the fair market value.

 

2

 

 

(d) In the event that Holder converts this Warrant in connection with a
transaction in which shares of the same class and series as the Warrant Shares
are converted into another security, Holder may effect a conversion directly
into such other security.

 

(e) Subject to Section 2 hereof, upon delivery of the duly completed and
executed Election, the Company shall issue and deliver within two (2) business
days to Holder or such other person as Holder may designate in writing a
certificate or certificates and a certified copy of the Company’s Register of
Members maintained under section 41 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as
amended) evidencing Holder’s ownership of the number of Warrant Shares so
acquired upon the conversion of this Warrant. Such certificate(s) or other legal
evidence shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be
named therein shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of the Company and a
holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date the Election is delivered
to the Company, provided, however, Holder’s admission as a shareholder shall be
subject to Holder’s execution and delivery of such agreements as may be required
of all shareholders or of an accession or similar agreement by which Holder
agrees to be bound by such agreements. If this Warrant is converted in part, a
new warrant substantially identical to this Warrant for the number of Shares not
converted shall be promptly executed and delivered to Holder by the Company.

 

1.4 Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions
of Warrant Shares upon the conversion of this Warrant. If any fraction of a
Warrant Share would be issuable upon the conversion of this Warrant (or any
portion thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash
equal to the fair market value of a Warrant Share as determined by the Board in
its reasonable judgment.

 

3

 

 

1.5 Register. A register of holders (the “Register”) shall be kept by or on
behalf of the Company at its registered office or at such other place as may be
permitted by applicable law. There shall be entered in the Register:

 

(a)the names and addresses of the person(s) for the time being entitled to be
registered as Holders of this Warrant;

 

(b)the number of Warrants held by every such registered holder; and

 

(c)the date on which the name of every such registered holder is entered in the
Register in respect of the Warrants standing to its name.

 

Any change in the name or address of Holder shall be notified to the Company in
writing within a reasonable time after the change occurs which shall cause the
Register to be altered accordingly. Holder and any person authorised by Holder
shall be at liberty at all reasonable times during office hours to inspect the
Register and to take copies of or extracts from it or any part of it. The
Company shall be entitled to treat Holder as the absolute owner of this Warrant
and accordingly shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction or as required by law, be bound to recognise any equitable or other
claim to, or interest in, this Warrant on the part of any other person, whether
or not it shall have express or other notice of that claim or interest. Holder
will be recognised by the Company as entitled to this Warrant free from any
equity, set off or cross claim on the part of the Company against the original
or any intermediate holder of such Warrant.

1.8 Conditional Repurchase Obligation Upon Reorganization of Off-Shore Holding
Company Structure.

 

(a) The Company acknowledges that as of the Issue Date, the Company is the
penultimate holding company in a multi-entity group, some of the operating
entities of which are entities formed under the laws of jurisdictions other than
the British Virgin Islands, including the PRC, and the group has been structured
so that as of the Issue Date the Company is anticipated to be the corporate
vehicle in which a Liquidity Event will be effected for the benefit of the
Group’s beneficial owners. Without limiting the adjustments that may be required
under Section 4, if: (i) the Group should be reorganized (whether in
anticipation of a Liquidity Event or otherwise) such that after such
reorganization a Group entity other than the Company will be the vehicle in
which such Liquidity Event is to be consummated (any such Group reorganization
transaction, including a so-called “de-VIE” transaction in respect of a PRC
localization, a “Localization Transaction”), and (ii) in connection with a
Localization Transaction (A) for any reason (other than the laws of its own
jurisdiction of domicile) Holder is unable to receive and hold its pro rata
ownership in the new Liquidity Vehicle (or receive consideration, if the
Localization Transaction is consummated directly or indirectly in connection
with a Liquidity Event) due to a legal or regulatory impediment (such as, for
example only in the case of the PRC, restrictions on non-PRC Person ownership of
a warrant or equity in any new PRC Liquidity Vehicle), then, without limiting
Holder’s right to transfer this Warrant to or receive an equivalent warrant in
such surviving PRC entity in the name of a Holder-designated PRC Person that may
lawfully hold such new warrant without such regulatory impediment, or (B) Holder
is not provided the opportunity to exchange this Warrant for a warrant or
equivalent equity in the new Liquidity Vehicle, then, as a joint and several
obligation, the Company, the Borrower under the Loan Agreement (whether or not
the Loan Agreement is then in effect) and/or the new Liquidity Vehicle shall,
upon initial closing of such Localization Transaction, purchase this Warrant for
the amount that Holder would receive on an as-converted into Warrant Shares
basis, applying the liquidation preferences and adjustments as would reasonably
apply assuming a liquidation of the Company under the Company’s Constitutional
Documents, with the value to be assumed for purposes of determining the amount
attributable to the Warrant Shares being the Enterprise Valuation (such purchase
amount, the “Warrant Purchase Price” and such term as defined below).

 

6

 

 

(b) The Warrant Purchase Price determined in accordance with this Section shall
be paid in cash in full upon the initial closing of the Localization Transaction
and shall not be subject to any post-Localization Transaction closing
contingencies or adjustments, including without limitation, earn-out or escrowed
consideration.

 

(c) The term “Enterprise Valuation” means the fair market value of the Group at
the time of a Localization Transaction, which shall be mutually agreed between
Holder and the Company and which may be inferred from the implied valuation in
connection with any then recent arm’s length Group equity or convertible debt
financing, the valuation used for purposes of new proposed investment in the
Group, as anticipated to be localized, any then recent and comprehensive (from a
Group perspective) independent professional valuation report or, failing
agreement between the Company and Holder as to the fair market value of the
Group, by independent appraisal as contemplated in Section 1.3(c).

 

Section 2. Exchange and Transfer of Warrant.

 

(a) This Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in part, without restriction,

in the case of Affiliates, shall be deemed satisfied by Holder (and transferee)
certification of Affiliate status), and (ii) the transferee holder of the new
Warrant assuming the obligations of Holder set forth in this Warrant. A transfer
may be registered with the Company by submission to it of the annexed Assignment
Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed. After the
Company’s registration of a transfer of this Warrant, the Company will issue and
deliver to the transferee a new warrant (representing the portion of this
Warrant so transferred) upon the same terms and conditions as this Warrant and
in substantially identical form, which the Company will register in the new
holder’s name. In the event of registration of a partial transfer of this
Warrant, the Company shall concurrently issue and deliver to the transferring
holder a new warrant that entitles the transferring holder to the balance of
this Warrant not so transferred and that otherwise is upon the same terms and
conditions as this Warrant. Upon the delivery of this Warrant for transfer, the
transferee holder shall for all purposes become Holder of the new warrant issued
for the portion of this Warrant so transferred, irrespective of the date of
actual delivery of the new warrant representing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred.

 

7

 

 

(b) In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, the Company
shall execute and deliver an identical new warrant to Holder in substitution
therefor upon the Company's receipt of (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of such event, and (ii) if requested by the Company, an indemnity
agreement in reasonable and customary form.

 

(c) The Company shall pay its own and all Holder’s reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the conversion, transfer replacement or enforcement
of this Warrant, including, without limitation, securities compliance,
attorneys’ fees and costs, the costs of preparation, execution and delivery of a
new warrant and of certificates or other legal evidence of all Warrant Shares.

 

Section 3. Certain Covenants.

 

(a) The Company shall ensure that any approval of its Board and shareholders
required for issuance of this Warrant and of the Warrant Shares issuable upon
conversion hereof (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include any
securities into which Warrant Shares are or become convertible) remains in full
force and effect until the earlier of conversion or the Expiration Date.

 

(b) The Company will not, by amendment of its Constitutional Documents or
through reorganization, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale of assets or
otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms of this Warrant. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will from
time to time take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue Warrant Shares upon the
conversion of this Warrant.

 

(c) The Company shall not treat the Warrant or the Warrant Shares as being
granted or issued as property transferred in connection with the performance of
services or otherwise as compensation for services rendered.

 

(d) The Company shall not characterize the Warrant as an ownership interest in
the Company or Holder as a shareholder of the Company until such time as Holder
converts the Warrant for Warrant Shares and is entered as a shareholder of the
Company’s register of members.

 

(e) The Company shall ensure and shall procure that at all times this Warrant is
in effect, Holder shall have the benefits accorded “Investors” under any
registration rights agreement between the Company and such investors and shall
not consent to any amendment of such registration rights agreement that would
have the effect of treating Holder differently than or depriving Holder of
benefits that are accorded Investors under such registration rights agreement.

Section 4. Adjustments to Number of Warrant Shares, Etc.

 

4.1 Adjustments. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted hereunder,
the Number of Shares and Exchange Price shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time in accordance with this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Exchange
Price pursuant to this Section 4, Holder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire
upon conversion, at the Exchange Price resulting from such adjustment, the
number of Warrant Shares obtainable by multiplying the Exchange Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the new
Exchange Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

4.2 Subdivisions, Combinations and Stock Dividends. If the Company shall at any
time subdivide by split-up or otherwise, the class and series of Company
securities into which the Warrant could then be converted into a greater number
of shares, or issue additional securities as a dividend, bonus issue or
otherwise with respect to such securities into which the Warrant could be
converted, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision or share dividend or bonus issue shall be proportionately reduced
and the number of shares acquirable upon exchange hereunder shall be
proportionately increased. Conversely, if the class and series of Company
securities into which the Warrant could then be converted are combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased.

 

4.3 Reclassification, Exchange, Substitutions, Etc. Upon any reclassification,
exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number
and/or class of the securities issuable upon exchange or exercise of this
Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of this Warrant,
the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received
for the Warrant Shares if this Warrant had been converted immediately before
such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event
shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities
of the Company of the same class or series as the Warrant Shares to Ordinary
Shares pursuant to the Company’s Constitutional Documents upon the closing of a
public offering of the Company's Ordinary Shares. The Company or its successor
shall promptly issue to Holder an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the
number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exchange
or exercise of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange,
substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class
of securities issuable upon exchange or exercise of this Warrant. The amendment
to this Warrant shall provide for adjustments (as determined in good faith by
the Company’s Board) which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 including, without limitation,
adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property
issuable upon exchange of the new Warrant. The provisions of Sections 4.2 and
4.3 shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions, combinations, Share
dividends, distributions, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, and
dilutive events.

 

4.4 Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that the Company shall:

 

(1) declare or propose to declare any dividend upon Company securities, whether
payable in cash, property, shares or other securities and whether or not a
regular cash dividend, or

 

(2) offer for sale any additional shares of any class or series of the Company’s
stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such stock in any
transaction that would give rise (regardless of waivers thereof) to pre-emptive
rights of any class or series of shareholders, or

 

9

 

 

(3) effect or approve any reclassification, exchange, substitution or
recapitalization of the share capital of the Company, including any subdivision
or combination of its issued shares, or consolidation, amalgamation or merger of
the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up (including an assignment for
the benefit of creditors), or

 

(4) offer holders of registration rights the opportunity to participate in any
public offering of the Company’s securities, or receive a notice or demand for
redemption of Company securities, or

 

(5) offer shareholders the opportunity to participate in any public offering of
the Company’s securities,

 

then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to Holder:

 

(i) at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which the books
of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such a distribution or
offer in respect of the matters referred to in (1) or (2) above, or for
determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (3) above;
and

 

(ii) in the case of the matters referred to in (4) and (5) above, the greater of
(A) ten (10) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place and (B) the date that notice is or is required to be given to any
shareholder.

 

Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (1) shall also specify, in
the case of any such distribution, the date on which Holders of Company
securities shall be entitled thereto and the terms of such distribution, and
such notice in accordance with clause (2) shall also specify the date on which
Holders of Company securities shall be entitled to convert their stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, exchange, substitution, consolidation, merger or sale, as the
case may be, and the terms of such exchange. Each such written notice shall be
given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Holder of this Warrant
at the address of Holder.

 

4.5 Equitable Adjustments by Board. If any event occurs as to which the
provisions of this Section 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly
applicable would not fairly protect the rights of Holder in accordance with the
essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board shall make an
adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such
essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights.

 

4.6 Officer’s Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Number of Shares subject
to this Warrant is required to be or is adjusted as provided in Section 4, the
Company shall forthwith file at the office designated for the conversion of this
Warrant a statement, signed by the chief financial officer of the Company,
showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the number
of issuable Warrant Shares that will be effective after such adjustment. If such
notice relates to an adjustment resulting from an event referred to in Section
4.3, such notice shall be included as part of the notice required to be mailed
or published under the provisions of Section 4.4.

 

10

 

 

4.7 Issue of Securities other than Warrant Shares. In the event that at any
time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 4, Holder
thereafter shall become entitled to receive any securities of the Company, other
than Warrant Shares, thereafter the number of such other securities so
receivable upon conversion of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares within this Section 4.

 

Section 5. Rights of the Warrant Holder.

 

This Warrant shall entitle Holder, upon Conversion, to the benefit of all rights
as are applicable to any shareholder of the Company holding shares that are the
same class and series as the Warrant Shares.

 

Section 6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Holder that:

 

6.1  Corporate Power; Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate
power and has taken all requisite corporate action to execute and deliver this
Warrant, to issue the Warrant and Warrant Shares and to carry out and perform

binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally. Any person
executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company is a duly authorized officer of
the Company with all necessary legal authority to bind the Company generally and
with the specific legal authority to cause the Company to execute and deliver
this Warrant.

consideration therefor as provided herein, will be validly authorized, issued
and fully paid. The issuance and delivery of the Warrant is not subject to any
consent, approval, pre-emptive or any similar rights of the shareholders of the
Company (which has not been duly secured or waived), including without
limitation any pre-emptive rights, rights of first refusal or any liens or
encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under
applicable securities laws; and when and if Warrant Shares are issued upon
conversion and in accordance with the terms hereof and this Warrant is converted
for such Warrant Shares, such shares will be, at each such issuance, validly
issued Warrant Shares in the Company’s capital, in compliance with all
applicable securities laws and free of any liens or encumbrances except for
restrictions on transfer provided for herein, in the Constitutional Documents or
under such applicable securities laws.

warrants, conversion privileges or other contractual rights presently
outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares
in the Company's capital or other securities that are not disclosed in the SEC
Filings. If at any time while this Warrant is in effect the Company ceases to be
current in its reporting under the U.S. Exchange Act of 1934, the Company shall
provide Holder a detailed capitalization table reflecting its Fully-Diluted
equity.

6.4 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Warrant do not, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not,
conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice
or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation
or acceleration of any obligation or to a loss of a material benefit, under, any
provision of the Company’s Constitutional Documents, as amended, or any
mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession,
franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company, its properties or assets, the effect of
which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or materially impair
or restrict its power to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby.

 

6.5 Governmental and other Consents. As at the Issue Date, no consent, approval,
order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation,
declaration or filing with, any governmental authority or other person or entity
is required on the part of the Company in connection with the issuance, sale and
delivery of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, except such filings as shall
have been made prior to and shall be effective on and as of the date hereof. All
Company and shareholder consents required in connection with issuance of the
Warrant and Warrant Shares have either been obtained by the Company or no such
consents are required.

 

6.6 Exempt from Registration. As at the Issue Date, assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of Holder in Section 7 hereof, the offer, sale
and issuance of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares will be exempt from any
registration requirements under British Virgin Islands law.

 

Section 7. Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder hereby represents
and warrants to the Company as of the Issue Date as follows:

 

7.1 Investment Experience. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning
of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of the United States of America, and was
not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities. Holder is
aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired
sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable
decision to acquire the Securities. Holder has such business and financial
experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests
in connection with the purchase of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

 

7.2 Investment Intent. Holder is purchasing the Warrant for investment for its
own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
“distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. Holder
understands that the Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act or
registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific
exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

 

12

 

 

7.3 Authorization. Holder has all requisite power and has taken all requisite
action required of it to carry out and perform all of its obligations hereunder.
The execution and delivery of this Warrant has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered on behalf of Holder and constitutes the valid and binding
agreement of Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii)
as limited by equitable principles generally. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein and the fulfillment of the terms herein will
not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of Holder’s
constitutional documents or instruments. Any person executing this Warrant on
behalf of Holder is a duly authorized officer of Holder with all necessary legal
authority to bind Holder generally and with the specific legal authority to
cause Holder to execute and deliver this Warrant.

Section 10. Amendments and Waivers.

 

This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

 

Section 11. Applicable Law; Severability.

 

This Warrant shall be governed by laws of the British Virgin Islands and for the
benefit of Holder, the Company agrees that the courts of the British Virgin
Islands have jurisdiction to hear and determine any action, suit or proceeding,
and settle any disputes, in connection with this Warrant and accordingly submits
to the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands courts. The Company waives any
objection which it may have to the British Virgin Islands courts on the grounds
of inconvenient forum or otherwise as regards proceedings in connection with
this Warrant, agrees not to argue before any court or tribunal that such courts
are an inappropriate or inconvenient forum and agrees that a judgment or order
of the British Virgin Islands courts in connection with this Warrant is
conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced in the courts of any other
jurisdiction. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant, or
any application of any provision thereof, shall be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and all other applications of any
provision thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section 12. Specific Performance.

 

Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that Holder may have, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that damages alone would not be an adequate
remedy for any breach of the terms of this Warrant by the Company. Accordingly,
Holder shall be entitled, to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or
other equitable relief for any actual breach of the terms of this Warrant.

 

Section 13. Construction.

 

Section headings are only used in this Agreement for convenience. The Company
and Holder each acknowledge that the headings may not describe completely the
subject matter of the applicable Section, and the headings shall not be used in
any manner to construe, limit, define or interpret any term or provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the
parties and no uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be construed strictly against either party under any rule of
construction or otherwise.
