ARTICLE 1 
 EXERCISE

 1.1. Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix Ito the principal office of the Company (or such other appropriate location as Holder is so instructed by the Company). Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company) or
other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased, along with a deed of adherence to the subscription and shareholders’ agreement dated 31 July 2009 (the “Shareholders’
Agreement”) substantially in the form set out in Appendix II hereto. 
 1.2. [Intentionally Deleted]. 







 1.3. Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within 30 days after Holder exercises this
Warrant and the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired. 
 1.4. Replacement of Warrants. In the case of loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, upon delivery of
an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new
warrant of like tenor. 
 1.5. Acquisition of the Company. 

1.5.1 “Acquisition.” For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale of the voting securities of the Company or other transaction or series of related
transactions where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction or series of related transactions beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction or series of
related transactions. 
 1.5.2 Treatment of Warrant in the Event of an Acquisition. The Company shall give Holder written notice at
least 20 days prior to the closing of any proposed Acquisition. The Company undertakes that it will request in writing that the (i) acquirer of the Company, (ii) successor or surviving entity or (iii) parent entity in an Acquisition
(the “Acquirer”) assume this Warrant as a part of the Acquisition. 
 (a) If the Acquirer assumes this Warrant, then this Warrant
shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and
subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly, and the Warrant Price and number and class of Shares shall continue to be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

(b) If the Acquirer refuses to assume this Warrant in connection with the Acquisition, the Company shall give Holder written notice of such
fact as soon as practicable. In such event, notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, Holder may immediately exercise this Warrant in the manner specified in this Warrant with such exercise effective immediately prior to
closing of the Acquisition. If Holder elects not to exercise this Warrant, then this Warrant will terminate immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary if the Acquirer
refuses to assume this Warrant in connection with such Acquisition, other than in connection with an Excluded Acquisition (as defined below), then effective as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Acquisition, the
Holder shall have the option to elect to put this Warrant to the Company for a per Share amount equal to the difference between the Acquisition consideration payable for one Share and the Warrant Price. As used herein, an “Excluded
Acquisition” means, an Acquisition where the consideration that the holders of the Shares are 

  
 -2- 








 
entitled to receive on account of the Shares consists entirely of cash and/or shares of common stock that are publicly traded on a national exchange and where the shares, if any, receivable by
the Holder of this Warrant were the Holder to exercise this Warrant in full immediately prior to the closing of such Acquisition may be publicly re-sold by the Holder in their entirety within the three (3) months following such closing pursuant
to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement under the Act. 
 ARTICLE 2 

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES 

2.1. Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other
securities, or subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which
Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred. 
 2.2.
Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder
shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised 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 Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the
Company’s Articles/Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other
property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price, the number of
securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and expiration date. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events. 

2.3. Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification, reverse split or
otherwise, into a lesser Number of Shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are split or multiplied, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater Number of Shares, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately decreased. 
 2.4. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles or Certificate of Incorporation
or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or perfoiined
under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article 2
against impairment. 

  
 -3- 








 2.5. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company
at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written
request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price. 

2.6. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Number of Shares to be issued
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional
interest by the fair market value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, of a full Share. 
 ARTICLE 3

3.1. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

will use all reasonable endeavours to obtain such approval. 
 3.1.4 The Company’s capitalisation table delivered to Holder as of
8 July 2011 is true and complete as of that date.

(a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) to offer for subscription pro rata to all of its shareholders any additional
shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of stock; or (d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease, license, or convey all or

audited financial statements of the Company. 
 3.4. Registration Under the Act. The Company agrees that the Shares shall be deemed
“Registrable Securities” or otherwise entitled to “piggy back” registration rights in accordance with the terms of Appendix 1 of the. Company’s Shareholders’ Agreement. Holder shall be treated as a holder of
“Registrable Securities” solely for the purpose of the above-mentioned registration rights as set out in Appendix 1 of the Shareholders’ Agreement.
