 with the secured party.

**Power to vary class rights**

2.9 If
 the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares then, unless the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state
 otherwise, the rights attaching to a class of Shares may only be varied if one of the following applies:

 Members holding not less than three-fourths of the issued Shares of that class consent in writing to the variation; or

(b) the
 variation is made with the sanction of Members holding not less than three-fourths of the issued Shares of that class passed at a
 separate general meeting of the Members holding the issued Shares of that class.

2.10 For
 the purpose of Article 2.9(b), all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings apply, mutatis mutandis, to every
 such separate meeting except that:

 necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding, or representing by proxy, not less than one third of the issued Shares of
 the class; and

 Member holding issued Shares of the class, present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a corporate Member, by its duly authorised

 class.

**No bearer Shares or warrants**

2.12 The
 Company shall not issue Shares or warrants to bearers.

 that the Company purchases, redeems or acquires by way of surrender in accordance with the Act shall be held as Treasury Shares and
 not treated as cancelled if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 Directors so determine prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of those shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
 relevant provisions of the Memorandum and Articles and the Act are otherwise complied with.

**Rights attaching to Treasury Shares and related matters**

2.14 No
 dividend may be declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the Company's assets (including
 any distribution of assets to Members on a winding up) may be made to the Company in respect of a Treasury Share.

2.15 The
 Company shall be entered in the register of Members as the holder of the Treasury Shares. However:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 Company shall not be treated as a Member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and
 any purported exercise of such a right shall be void; and

 Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining
 the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Act.

2.17 Treasury
 Shares may be disposed of by the Company in accordance with the Act and otherwise on such terms and conditions as the Directors determine.

**Register of Members**

2.18 The
 Directors shall keep or cause to be kept a register of Members as required by the Act and may cause the Company to maintain one or

 updated within such number of days of any amendment having been made to such branch register as may be required by the Act.

2.19 The
 title to Shares listed on a Designated Stock Exchange may be evidenced and transferred in accordance with the laws applicable to

 representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. If the Directors resolve that share certificates

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) without
 payment, one certificate for all the Shares of each class held by that Member (and, upon transferring a part of the Member's
 holding of Shares of any class, to a certificate for the balance of that holding); and

 payment of such reasonable sum as the Directors may determine for every certificate after the first, several certificates each for
 one or more of that Member's Shares.

3.2 Every

 certificate shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the U.S. Securities Act (to the extent applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) payment
 of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating the evidence; and

(d) payment
 of a reasonable fee, if any for issuing a replacement share certificate,

as the Directors may determine, and (in the case of defacement or wearing-out) on delivery to the Company of the old certificate.

 that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and

(c) that
 sum is not paid within fourteen (14) Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles,

and Shares to which this Article 4.3 applies shall be referred to as Lien Default Shares.

4.4 The
 Lien Default Shares may be sold in such manner as the Board determines.

4.5 To
 the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors shall incur no personal liability to the
 Member concerned in respect of the sale.

**Authority to execute instrument of transfer**

4.6 To
 give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of
 transfer of the Lien Default Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the
 purchaser.

4.7 The
 title of the transferee of the Lien Default Shares shall not be affected by any irregularity
 or invalidity in the proceedings in respect of the sale.

 which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those
 Lien Default Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from
 the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale
 or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The Board may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce
 payment without any allowance for the value of the Lien Default Shares at the time of sale
 or for any consideration received on their disposal.

**Application of proceeds of sale**

4.10 The
 net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much
 of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to
 the person whose Lien Default Shares have been sold:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if
 no certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or

(b) if
 a certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation

but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Lien Default Shares before the sale.

5 Calls on Shares and forfeiture

**Power to make calls and effect of calls**

5.1 Subject
 to the terms of allotment, the Board may make calls on the Members in respect of any monies
 unpaid on their Shares including any premium. The call may provide for payment to be by instalments.
 Subject to receiving at least 14 Clear Days' notice specifying when and where payment
 is to be made, each Member shall pay to the Company the amount called on his Shares as required
 by the notice.

5.2 Before
 receipt by the Company of any sum due under a call, that call may be revoked in whole or
 in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. Where a call is to be
 paid in instalments, the Company may revoke the call in respect of all or any remaining instalments
 in whole or in part and may postpone payment of all or any of the remaining instalments in
 whole or in part.

5.3 A
 Member on whom a call is made shall remain liable for that call notwithstanding the subsequent
 transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. He shall not be liable for
 calls made after he is no longer registered as Member in respect of those Shares.

**Time when call made**

5.4 A
 call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising
 the call was passed.

**Liability of joint holders**

5.5 Members
 registered as the joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all
 calls in respect of the Share.

**Interest on unpaid calls**

5.6 If
 a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due
 and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable
 until it is paid:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) at
 the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the Share or in the notice of the call; or

(b) if
 no rate is fixed, at the Default Rate.

The Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

**Deemed calls**

5.7 Any
 amount payable in respect of a Share, whether on allotment or on a fixed date or otherwise,
 shall be deemed to be payable as a call. If the amount is not paid when due the provisions
 of these Articles shall apply as if the amount had become due and payable by virtue of a
 call.

**Power to accept early payment**

5.8 The
 Company may accept from a Member the whole or a part of the amount remaining unpaid on Shares
 held by him although no part of that amount has been called up.

**Power to make different arrangements at time of issue of Shares**

5.9 Subject
 to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of Shares to
 distinguish between Members in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares.

**Notice of default**

5.10 If
 a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person
 from whom it is due not less than 14 Clear Days' notice requiring payment of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 amount unpaid;

(b) any
 interest which may have accrued;

(c) any
 expenses which have been incurred by the Company due to that person's default.

5.11 The
 notice shall state the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 place where payment is to be made; and

(b) a
 warning that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited.

**Forfeiture or surrender of Shares**

5.12 If
 the notice given pursuant to Article 5.10 is not complied with, the Directors may, before
 the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any Share the subject
 of that notice be forfeited. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable
 in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. Despite the foregoing,
 the Board may determine that any Share the subject of that notice be accepted by the Company
 as surrendered by the Member holding that Share in lieu of forfeiture.

**Disposal of forfeited or surrendered Share and power to cancel forfeiture or surrender**

5.13 A
 forfeited or surrendered Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such
 terms and in such manner as the Board determine either to the former Member who held that
 Share or to any other person. The forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms
 as the Directors think fit at any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition.
 Where, for the purposes of its disposal, a forfeited or surrendered Share is to be transferred
 to any person, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer
 of the Share to the transferee.

**Effect of forfeiture or surrender on former Member**

5.14 On
 forfeiture or surrender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Shares and that person shall cease
 to be a Member in respect of those Shares; and

(b) that
 person shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for the forfeited or surrendered Shares.

5.15 Despite
 the forfeiture or surrender of his Shares, that person shall remain liable to the Company
 for all monies which at the date of forfeiture or surrender were presently payable by him
 to the Company in respect of those Shares together with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all
 expenses; and

(b) interest
 from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) at
 the rate of which interest was payable on those monies before forfeiture; or

(ii) if
 no interest was so payable, at the Default Rate.

The Directors, however, may waive payment wholly or in part.

**Evidence of forfeiture or surrender**

5.16 A
 declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a Director or the Secretary shall be
 conclusive evidence of the following matters stated in it as against all persons claiming
 to be entitled to forfeited Shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) that
 the person making the declaration is a Director or Secretary of the Company, and

(b) that
 the particular Shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.

Subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer, if necessary, the declaration shall constitute good title to the Shares.

**Sale of forfeited or surrendered Shares**

5.17 Any
 person to whom the forfeited or surrendered Shares are disposed of shall not be bound to
 see to the application of the consideration, if any, of those Shares nor shall his title
 to the Shares be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of the proceedings in respect
 of, the forfeiture, surrender or disposal of those Shares.

6 Transfer of Shares

**Form of Transfer**

6.1 Subject
 to the following Articles about the transfer of Shares, and provided that such transfer complies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the

 instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

(d) in
 the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) any
 applicable fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchanges may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the Board
 may from time to time require, related to the transfer is paid to the Company.

**Suspension of transfers**

6.4 The
 registration of transfers may, on 14 days' notice being given by advertisement in such
 one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the register of Members closed

 nor the register of Members closed for more than 30 days in any year.

**Company may retain instrument of transfer**

6.5 All
 instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company.

**Notice of refusal to register**

7.4 That
 person must produce such evidence of his entitlement as the Directors may properly require.

7.5 If
 the person elects to become the holder of the Share, he must give notice to the Company to

 were an executed instrument of transfer.

7.6 If
 the person elects to transfer the Share to another person then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if
 the Share is Fully Paid Up, the transferor must execute an instrument of transfer; and

 the Share is nil or Partly Paid Up, the transferor and the transferee must execute an instrument of transfer.

7.7 All
 the Articles relating to the transfer of Shares shall apply to the notice or, as appropriate,

 the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and

(e) cancel
 Shares which, at the date of the passing of that Ordinary Resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and
 diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled or, in the case of Shares without nominal par value,

**Dealing with fractions resulting from consolidation of Shares**

8.2 Whenever,
 as a result of a consolidation of Shares, any Members would become entitled to fractions

 in respect of the sale.

 on the terms and in the manner its Directors determine before the issue of those Shares;

(b) with
 the consent by Special Resolution of the Members holding Shares of a particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of

 apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If

**Chairman**

11.3 The
 chairman of a general meeting (including any Virtual Meeting) shall be the chairman of the
 Board or such other Director as the Directors have nominated to chair Board meetings in the
 absence of the chairman of the Board. Absent any such person being present at the meeting
 within fifteen minutes of the time appointed for the meeting, the Directors present shall
 elect one of their number to chair the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall be entitled
 to attend and participate at any such general meeting by means of Electronic Communication
 Facilities, and to act as the chairman of such general meeting, in which event the chairman
 of the meeting shall be deemed to be present at the meeting.

11.4 If
 no Director is present within fifteen minutes of the time appointed for the meeting, or if
 no Director is willing to act as chairman, the Members present in person or by proxy and
 entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to chair the meeting.

11.5 Even
 if a Director is not a Member, he shall be entitled to attend and speak at any general meeting
 and at any separate meeting of Members holding a particular class of Shares.

**Accommodation of Members at meeting and Virtual Meeting**

11.6 A
 Member entitled to receive notice and attend a meeting will be deemed to be in attendance
 at such meeting despite their attendance being virtual if adequate facilities are available
 to ensure that the Member is able to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to
 participate in the business for which the meeting has been convened; and

(b) to
 hear all that happens at the meeting.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Directors may determine that any general meeting may be held as a Virtual Meeting.

**Security**

11.7 In
 addition to any measures which the Board may be required to take due to the location or venue
 of the meeting, the Board may make any arrangement and impose any restriction it considers
 appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances to ensure the security of a meeting including,
 without limitation, the searching of any person attending the meeting and the imposing of
 restrictions on the items of personal property that may be taken into the meeting place.
 The Board may refuse entry to, or eject from, a meeting a person who refuses to comply with
 any such arrangements or restrictions.

**Adjournment, postponement and cancellation**

11.8 A
 meeting may be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) postponed
 or cancelled prior to the meeting at the discretion of the Directors by written notice provided to all persons entitled to attend
 the meeting, unless the meeting was requisitioned by Members or otherwise called by Members pursuant to Article 10; or

(b) adjourned,
 with or without an appointed date for redemption at any time during the meeting at the discretion of the chairman with the consent
 of the Members constituting a quorum.

The chairman must adjourn the meeting if so directed by the meeting by Members constituting a quorum at the meeting. No business, however, can be transacted at an adjourned or postponed meeting other than business which might properly have been transacted at the original meeting.

11.9 Should
 a meeting be adjourned for more than seven (7) Clear Days, whether because of a lack of quorum
 or otherwise, Members shall be given at least seven (7) Clear Days' notice of the date,
 time and place of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted.
 Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjournment.

**Method of voting**

11.10 A
 resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before,
 or on, the declaration of the result of the show of hands, a poll is duly demanded. Subject
 to the Act, a poll may be demanded:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by
 the chairman of the meeting; or

(b) by
 any Member or Members present who, individually or collectively, hold not less than ten per cent of the voting rights of all those
 who have a right to vote on the resolution.

**Outcome of vote by show of hands**

11.11 Unless
 a poll is duly demanded, a declaration by the chairman as to the result of a resolution and
 an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of the
 outcome of a show of hands without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded
 in favour of or against the resolution.

**Withdrawal of demand for a poll**

11.12 The
 demand for a poll may be withdrawn before the poll is taken, but only with the consent of
 the chairman. The chairman shall announce any such withdrawal to the meeting and, unless
 another person forthwith demands a poll, any earlier show of hands on that resolution shall
 be treated as the vote on that resolution; if there has been no earlier show of hands, then
 the resolution shall be put to the vote of the meeting.

**Taking of a poll**

11.13 A
 poll demanded on the question of adjournment shall be taken immediately.

11.14 A
 poll demanded on any other question shall be taken either immediately or at an adjourned
 meeting at such time and place as the chairman directs, not being more than thirty Clear
 Days after the poll was demanded.

11.15 The
 demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting continuing to transact any business other
 than the question on which the poll was demanded.

11.16 A
 poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. He may appoint scrutineers (who
 need not be Members) and fix a place and time for declaring the result of the poll. If, through
 the aid of technology, the meeting is held as a Virtual Meeting or in more than one place,
 the chairman may appoint scrutineers virtually and in more than one place; but if he considers
 that the poll cannot be effectively monitored at that meeting, the chairman shall adjourn
 the holding of the poll to a date, place and time when that can occur.

**Chairman's casting vote**

11.17 In
 the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of
 the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded shall
 not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

**Written resolutions**

11.18 Without
 limitation to section 60(1) of the Act, Members may pass a Special Resolution in writing
 without holding a meeting if the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all
 Members entitled to vote on the resolution are given notice of the resolution as if the same were being proposed at a meeting of
 Members;

(b) all
 Members entitled so to vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) sign

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the

 Record by Electronic means to the address specified for that purpose.

Such written resolution shall be as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Members entitled to vote duly convened and held, is passed when all such Members have so signified their agreement to the resolution.

11.19 Members
 may pass an Ordinary Resolution in writing without holding a meeting if the following conditions
 are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all
 Members entitled to vote on the resolution are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) given
 notice of the resolution as if the same were being proposed at a meeting of Members; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) notified
 in the same or an accompanying notice of the date by which the resolution must be passed if it is not to lapse, being a period of
 seven (7) days beginning with the date that the notice is first given;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
 required majority of the Members entitled so to vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) sign
 a document; or

(ii) sign
 several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of those Members; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the
 signed document or documents is or are delivered to the Company, including, if the Company so nominates, by delivery of an Electronic
 Record by Electronic means to the address specified for that purpose.

Such written resolution, which shall be as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Members entitled to vote duly convened and held, is passed upon the later of these dates: (i) subject to the following Article, the date next immediately following the end of the period of three (3) days beginning with the date that notice of the resolution is first given and (ii) the date when the required majority have so signified their agreement to the resolution. However, the proposed written resolution lapses if it is not passed before the end of the period of seven (7) days beginning with the date that notice of it is first given.

11.20 If
 all Members entitled to be given notice of the Ordinary Resolution consent, a written resolution
 may be passed as soon as the required majority have signified their agreement to the resolution,
 without any minimum period of time having first elapsed. Save that the consent of the majority
 may be incorporated in the written resolution, each consent shall be in writing or given
 by Electronic Record and shall otherwise be given to the Company in accordance with Article
 28 (*Notices*) prior to the written resolution taking effect.

11.21 The
 Directors may determine the manner in which written resolutions shall be put to Members.
 In particular, they may provide, in the form of any written resolution, for each Member to
 indicate, out of the number of votes the Member would have been entitled to cast at a meeting
 to consider the resolution, how many votes he wishes to cast in favour of the resolution
 and how many against the resolution or to be treated as abstentions. The result of any such
 written resolution shall be determined on the same basis as on a poll.

11.22 If
 a written resolution is described as a Special Resolution or as an Ordinary Resolution, it
 has effect accordingly.

**Sole-Member Company**

11.23 If
 the Company has only one Member, and the Member records in writing his decision on a question, that record shall constitute both
 the passing of a resolution and the minute of it.

---

**Right to vote**

12.1 Unless
 their Shares carry no right to vote, or unless a call or other amount presently payable has not been paid, all Members are entitled
 to vote at a general meeting, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, and all Members holding Shares of a particular class of Shares
 are entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of that class of Shares.

12.2 Members
 may vote in person or by proxy.

12.3 On
 a show of hands, every Member shall have one vote. For the avoidance of doubt, an individual who represents two or more Members,

12.4 On
 a poll a Member shall have one vote for each Share he holds, unless any Share carries special voting rights.

12.5 No
 Member is bound to vote on his Shares or any of them; nor is he bound to vote each of his Shares in the same way.

**Rights of joint holders**

12.6 If
 Shares are held jointly, only one of the joint holders may vote. If more than one of the joint holders tenders a vote, the vote of
 the holder whose name in respect of those Shares appears first in the register of Members shall be accepted to the exclusion of the
 votes of the other joint holder.

**Representation of corporate Members**

12.7 Save
 where otherwise provided, a corporate Member must act by a duly authorised representative.

12.8 A
 corporate Member wishing to act by a duly authorised representative must identify that person to the Company by notice in writing.

12.9 The
 authorisation may be for any period of time, and must be delivered to the Company before the commencement of the meeting at which
 it is first used.

12.10 The
 Directors of the Company may require the production of any evidence which they consider necessary to determine the validity of the
 notice.

12.11 Where
 a duly authorised representative is present at a meeting that Member is deemed to be present in person; and the acts of the duly
 authorised representative are personal acts of that Member.

12.12 A
 corporate Member may revoke the appointment of a duly authorised representative at any time by notice to the Company; but such revocation
 will not affect the validity of any acts carried out by the duly authorised representative before the Directors of the Company had
 actual notice of the revocation.

**Member with mental disorder**

12.13 A
 Member in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction (whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere) in
 matters concerning mental disorder may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by that Member's receiver, *curator bonis* or other person authorised in that behalf appointed by that court.

12.14 For
 the purpose of the preceding Article, evidence to the satisfaction of the Directors of the authority of the person claiming to exercise
 the right to vote must be received not less than 24 hours before holding the relevant meeting or the adjourned meeting in any manner
 specified for the delivery of forms of appointment of a proxy, whether in writing or by Electronic means. In default, the right to
 vote shall not be exercisable.

**Objections to admissibility of votes**

12.15 An
 objection to the validity of a person's vote may only be raised at the meeting or at the adjourned meeting at which the vote
 is sought to be tendered. Any objection duly made shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

**Form of proxy**

12.16 An
 instrument appointing a proxy shall be in any common form or in any other form approved by the Directors.

12.17 The
 instrument must be in writing and signed in one of the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by
 the Member; or

(b) by
 the Member's authorised attorney; or

(c) if
 the Member is a corporation or other body corporate, under seal or signed by an authorised officer, secretary or attorney.

If the Directors so resolve, the Company may accept an Electronic Record of that instrument delivered in the manner specified below and otherwise satisfying the Articles about authentication of Electronic Records.

12.18 The
 Directors may require the production of any evidence which they consider necessary to determine the validity of any appointment of
 a proxy.

12.19 A
 Member may revoke the appointment of a proxy at any time by notice to the Company duly signed in accordance with Article 12.17.

12.20 No
 revocation by a Member of the appointment of a proxy made in accordance with Article 12.19 will affect the validity of any acts carried
 out by the relevant proxy before the Directors of the Company had actual notice of the revocation.

**How and when proxy is to be delivered**

12.21 Subject
 to the following Articles, the Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy
 sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time
 (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at
 which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice
 convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the form of appointment of a proxy
 and any authority under which it is signed (or a copy of the authority certified notarially or in any other way approved by the Directors)
 must be delivered so that it is received by the Company before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the
 person named in the form of appointment of proxy proposes to vote. They must be delivered in either of the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In
 the case of an instrument in writing, it must be left at or sent by post:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to
 the registered office of the Company; or

(ii) to
 such other place within the Cayman Islands specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any form of appointment of proxy sent
 out by the Company in relation to the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If,
 pursuant to the notice provisions, a notice may be given to the Company in an Electronic Record, an Electronic Record of an appointment
 of a proxy must be sent to the address specified pursuant to those provisions unless another address for that purpose is specified:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in
 the notice convening the meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in
 any form of appointment of a proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting; or

(iii) in
 any invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding
 Article 12.21(a) and Article 12.21(b), the chairman of the Company may, in any event at his discretion, direct that an instrument
 of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited.

12.22 Where
 a poll is taken:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if
 it is taken more than seven Clear Days after it is demanded, the form of appointment of a proxy and any accompanying authority (or
 an Electronic Record of the same) must be delivered in accordance with Article 12.21 before the time appointed for the taking of
 the poll;

(b) if
 it to be taken within seven Clear Days after it was demanded, the form of appointment of a proxy and any accompanying authority (or
 an Electronic Record of the same) must be delivered in accordance with Article 12.21 before the time appointed for the taking of
 the poll.

12.23 If
 the form of appointment of proxy is not delivered on time, it is invalid.

12.24 When
 two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are delivered or received in respect of the same Share for use at the same
 meeting and in respect of the same matter, the one which is last validly delivered or received (regardless of its date or of the
 date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that Share. lf the Company is unable
 to determine which appointment was last validly delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that
 Share.

12.25 The
 Board may at the expense of the Company send forms of appointment of proxy to the Members by post (that is to say, pre-paying and
 posting a letter), or by Electronic communication or otherwise (with or without provision for their return by pre-paid post) for
 use at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of Shares, either blank or nominating as proxy
 in the alternative any one or more of the Directors or any other person. lf for the purpose of any meeting invitations to appoint
 as proxy a person or one of a number of persons specified in the invitations are issued at the Company's expense, they shall
 be issued to all (and not to some only) of the Members entitled to be sent notice of the meeting and to vote at it. The accidental
 omission to send such a form of appointment or to give such an invitation to, or the non-receipt of such form of appointment by,
 any Member entitled to attend and vote at a meeting shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting

**Voting by proxy**

12.26 A
 proxy shall have the same voting rights at a meeting or adjourned meeting as the Member would
 have had except to the extent that the instrument appointing him limits those rights. Notwithstanding
 the appointment of a proxy, a Member may attend and vote at a meeting or adjourned meeting.
 If a Member votes on any resolution a vote by his proxy on the same resolution, unless in
 respect of different Shares, shall be invalid.

12.27 The
 instrument appointing a proxy to vote at a meeting shall be deemed also to confer authority
 to demand or join in demanding a poll and, for the purposes of Article 11.11, a demand by
 a person as proxy for a Member shall be the same as a demand by a Member. Such appointment
 shall not confer any further right to speak at the meeting, except with the permission of
 the chairman of the meeting.

13 Number of Directors

13.1 There
 shall be a Board consisting of not less than one person provided however that the Company
 may by Ordinary Resolution increase or reduce the limits in the number of Directors. Unless

**Corporate Directors**

14.3 Unless
 prohibited by law, a body corporate may be a Director. If a body corporate is a Director,
 the Articles about representation of corporate Members at general meetings apply, mutatis
 mutandis, to the Articles about Directors' meetings.

**No shareholding qualification**

14.4 Unless
 a shareholding qualification for Directors is fixed by Ordinary Resolution, no Director shall
 be required to own Shares as a condition of his appointment.

**Appointment of Directors**

14.5 A
 Director may be appointed by Ordinary Resolution or by the Directors. Any appointment may
 be to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director.

14.6 A
 remaining Director may appoint a Director even though there is not a quorum of Directors.

14.7 No
 appointment can cause the number of Directors to exceed the maximum (if one is set); and
 any such appointment shall be invalid.

14.8 For
 so long as Shares are listed on a Designated Stock Exchange, the Directors shall include
 at least such number of Independent Directors as applicable law, rules or regulations or
 the Designated Stock Exchange Rules require as determined by the Board. The Directors shall
 be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in
 each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. Upon the adoption of the Articles, the existing
 directors shall by resolution classify themselves as Class I, Class II or Class III directors.
 The Class I directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at the Company's first
 annual general meeting, the Class II directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at
 the Company's second annual general meeting and the Class III directors shall stand
 elected for a term expiring at the Company's third annual general meeting. Commencing
 at the Company's first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter,
 directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term
 of office to expire at the third succeeding annual general meeting after their election.
 All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office
 and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill
 a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for
 the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall
 have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

**Board's power to appoint Directors**

14.9 Without
 prejudice to the Company's power to appoint a person to be a Director pursuant to these
 Articles, the Board shall have power at any time to appoint any person who is willing to
 act as a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing Board, subject
 to the total number of Directors not exceeding any maximum number fixed by or in accordance
 with these Articles.

14.10 Any
 Director so appointed shall, if still a Director, retire at the next annual general meeting
 after his appointment and be eligible to stand for election as a Director at such meeting.

**Removal of Directors**

14.11 A
 Director may be removed by Ordinary Resolution.

**Resignation of Directors**

 Director may at any time resign office by giving to the Company notice in writing or, if
 permitted pursuant to the notice provisions, in an Electronic Record delivered in either
 case in accordance with those provisions.

14.13 Unless
 the notice specifies a different date, the Director shall be deemed to have resigned on the
 date that the notice is delivered to the Company.

**Termination of the office of Director**

14.14 A
 Director may retire from office as a Director by giving notice in writing to that effect
 to the Company at the registered office, which notice shall be effective upon such date as
 may be specified in the notice, failing which upon delivery to the registered office.

14.15 Without
 prejudice to the provisions in these Articles for retirement (by rotation or otherwise),
 a Director's office shall be terminated forthwith if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) he
 is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as a Director; or

(b) he
 is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or

(c) he
 resigns his office by notice to the Company; or

(d) he
 only held office as a Director for a fixed term and such term expires; or

(e) in
 the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting
 as a Director; or

 is given notice by the majority of the other Directors (not being less than two in number) to vacate office (without prejudice to
 any claim for damages for breach of any agreement relating to the provision of the services of such Director); or

(g) he
 is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise; or

(h) without
 the consent of the other Directors, he is absent from meetings of Directors for a continuous period of six months.

15 Alternate Directors

 an alternate Director. No appointment shall take effect until the Director has given notice

 as the Company or which has common shareholdings.

 to compliance with applicable laws, including the applicable federal securities laws of the

**Power to delegate any of the Directors' powers to a committee**

 Directors may delegate any of their powers to any committee consisting of one or more persons
 who need not be Members. Persons on the committee may include non-Directors so long as the

**Notice of meetings**

18.3 Notice

 may waive his right to receive notice of any meeting either prospectively or retrospectively.

**Use of technology**

18.4 A
 Director may participate in a meeting of Directors through the medium of conference telephone,
 video or any other form of communications equipment providing all persons participating in

18.5 A
 Director participating in this way is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

**Quorum**

18.6 The
 quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of Directors shall be two (except that

 Board may appoint a chairman and one or more deputy chairman or chairmen and may at any time
 revoke any such appointment.

18.8 The
 chairman, or failing him any deputy chairman (the longest in office taking precedence if
 more than one is present), shall preside at all Board meetings. If no chairman or deputy
 chairman has been appointed, or if he is not present within five minutes after the time fixed
 for holding the meeting, or is unwilling to act as chairman of the meeting, the Directors
 present shall choose one of their number to act as chairman of the meeting.

**Voting**

18.9 A
 question which arises at a Board meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. If votes
 are equal the chairman may, if he wishes, exercise a casting vote.

18.10 A
 Director present at a meeting of Directors shall be presumed to have assented to any action

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) his
 dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) he
 has filed with the meeting before it is concluded signed dissent from that action; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) he
 has forwarded to the Company as soon as practical following the conclusion of that meeting

A Director who votes in favour of an action is not entitled to record his dissent to it.

 Directors.

18.12 A
 written resolution signed by a validly appointed alternate Director need not also be signed
 by the appointing Director.

18.13 A

 his alternate.

18.14 A
 resolution in writing passed pursuant to Article 18.11, Article 18.12 and/or Article 18.13
 shall be as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors duly convened
 and held; and it shall be treated as having been passed on the day and at the time that the
 last Director signs (and for the avoidance of doubt, such day may or may not be a Business
 Day).

**Validity of acts of Directors in spite of formal defect**

18.15 All
 acts done by a meeting of the Board, or of a committee of the Board, or by any person acting
 as a Director or an alternate Director, shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered
 that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director or member
 of the committee, or that any of them were disqualified or had vacated office or were not
 entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and qualified
 and had continued to be a Director or alternate Director and had been entitled to vote.

19 Permissible Directors' interests and disclosure

19.1 A
 Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction
 or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest
 at a meeting of the Directors. A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to
 the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as
 interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company
 or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so
 made or transaction so consummated. Subject to the Designated Stock Exchange Rules and disqualification
 by the chairman of the relevant Board meeting, a Director may vote in respect of any contract
 or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested
 therein provided the Director discloses to his fellow directors the nature and extent of
 any material interests in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or
 transaction and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum
 at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract
 or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration.

22 Record dates

22.1 Except
 to the extent of any conflicting rights attached to Shares, the resolution declaring a dividend
 on Shares of any class, whether it be an Ordinary Resolution of the Members or a Director's
 resolution, may specify that the dividend is payable or distributable to the persons registered
 as the holders of those Shares at the close of business on a particular date, notwithstanding
 that the date may be a date prior to that on which the resolution is passed.

22.2 If
 the resolution does so specify, the dividend shall be payable or distributable to the persons
 registered as the holders of those Shares at the close of business on the specified date
 in accordance with their respective holdings so registered, but without prejudice to the
 rights *inter se* in respect of the dividend of transferors and transferees of any of
 those Shares.

22.3 The
 provisions of this Article apply, *mutatis mutandis*, to bonuses, capitalisation issues,
 distributions of realised capital profits or offers or grants made by the Company to the

23 Dividends

**Source of dividends**

23.1 Dividends
 may be declared and paid out of any funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution.

23.2 Subject
 to the requirements of the Act regarding the application of a company's Share premium
 account and with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, dividends may also be declared and
 paid out of any share premium account.

**Declaration of dividends by Members**

23.3 Subject
 to the provisions of the Act, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution declare dividends in
 accordance with the respective rights of the Members but no dividend shall exceed the amount
 recommended by the Directors.

**Payment of interim dividends and declaration of final dividends by Directors**

23.4 The
 Directors may declare and pay interim dividends or recommend final dividends in accordance
 with the respective rights of the Members if it appears to them that they are justified by
 the financial position of the Company and that such dividends may lawfully be paid.

23.5 Subject
 to the provisions of the Act, in relation to the distinction between interim dividends and
 final dividends, the following applies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon
 determination to pay a dividend or dividends described as interim by the Directors in the

 is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon
 declaration of a dividend or dividends described as final by the Directors in the dividend
 resolution, a debt shall be created immediately following the declaration, the due date to
 be the date the dividend is stated to be payable in the resolution.

If the resolution fails to specify whether a dividend is final or interim, it shall be assumed to be interim.

23.6 In
 relation to Shares carrying differing rights to dividends or rights to dividends at a fixed
 rate, the following applies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If
 the share capital is divided into different classes, the Directors may pay dividends on Shares
 which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares
 which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on
 Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential
 dividend is in arrears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The
 Directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate
 if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for
 distribution to justify the payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If
 the Directors act in good faith, they shall not incur any liability to the Members holding
 Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss those Members may suffer by the lawful payment
 of the dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

**Apportionment of dividends**

23.7 Except
 as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares all dividends shall be declared and
 paid according to the amounts Paid Up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends
 shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amount Paid Up on the Shares during
 the time or part of the time in respect of which the dividend is paid. But if a Share is
 issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that
 Share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

**Right of set off**

23.8 The
 Directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of
 a Share any amount due by that person to the Company on a call or otherwise in relation to
 a Share.

**Power to pay other than in cash**

23.9 If
 the Directors so determine, any resolution declaring a dividend may direct that it shall
 be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets. If a difficulty arises in relation
 to the distribution, the Directors may settle that difficulty in any way they consider appropriate.
 For example, they may do any one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) issue
 fractional Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) fix
 the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing
 of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) vest
 some assets in trustees.

**How payments may be made**

23.10 A
 dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a Share may be paid in any of the following
 ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if
 the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share nominates a bank account
 for that purpose - by wire transfer to that bank account; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by
 cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share
 or other person entitled to that Share.

23.11 For
 the purposes of Article 23.10(a), the nomination may be in writing or in an Electronic Record
 and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another person. For the purposes
 of Article 23.10(b), subject to any applicable law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall
 be made to the order of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to the Share
 or to his nominee, whether nominated in writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of
 the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company.

23.12 If
 two or more persons are registered as the holders of the Share or are jointly entitled to
 it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the registered holder (**Joint Holders**),
 a dividend (or other amount) payable on or in respect of that Share may be paid as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to
 the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the register
 of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may
 be; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to
 the address or bank account of another person nominated by the Joint Holders, whether that
 nomination is in writing or in an Electronic Record.

23.13 Any
 Joint Holder of a Share may give a valid receipt for a dividend (or other amount) payable
 in respect of that Share.

**Dividends or other monies not to bear interest in absence of special rights**

23.14 Unless
 provided for by the rights attached to a Share, no dividend or other monies payable by the
 Company in respect of a Share shall bear interest.

**Dividends unable to be paid or unclaimed**

23.15 If
 a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was
 declared or both, the Directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company's
 name. If a dividend is paid into a separate account, the Company shall not be constituted
 trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain a debt due to the Member.

23.16 A
 dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment
 shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company.

24 Capitalisation of profits

**Capitalisation of profits or of any share premium account or capital redemption reserve;**

24.1 The
 Directors may resolve to capitalise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any
 part of the Company's profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether
 or not those profits are available for distribution); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any
 sum standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account or capital redemption
 reserve, if any.

24.2 The
 amount resolved to be capitalised must be appropriated to the Members who would have been
 entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions. The
 benefit to each Member so entitled must be given in either or both of the following ways::

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by
 paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member's Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by
 issuing Fully Paid Up Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member
 or as that Member directs. The Directors may resolve that any Shares issued to the Member
 in respect of Partly Paid Up Shares (**Original Shares**) rank for dividend only to the
 extent that the Original Shares rank for dividend while those Original Shares remain Partly
 Paid Up.

**Applying an amount for the benefit of Members**

24.3 The
 amount capitalised must be applied to the benefit of Members in the proportions to which
 the Members would have been entitled to dividends if the amount capitalised had been distributed
 as a dividend.

24.4 Subject
 to the Act, if a fraction of a Share, a debenture or other security is allocated to a Member,
 the Directors may issue a fractional certificate to that Member or pay him the cash equivalent
 of the fraction.

25 Share Premium Account

**Directors to maintain share premium account**

25.1 The
 Directors shall establish a share premium account in accordance with the Act. They shall
 carry to the credit of that account from time to time an amount equal to the amount or value
 of the premium paid on the issue of any Share or capital contributed or such other amounts
 required by the Act.

**Debits to share premium account**

25.2 The
 following amounts shall be debited to any share premium account:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) on
 the redemption or purchase of a Share, the difference between the nominal value of that Share
 and the redemption or purchase price; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any
 other amount paid out of a share premium account as permitted by the Act.

25.3 Notwithstanding
 the preceding Article, on the redemption or purchase of a Share, the Directors may pay the
 difference between the nominal value of that Share and the redemption purchase price out
 of the profits of the Company or, as permitted by the Act, out of capital.

 Company may have a seal if the Directors so determine.

26.2 Subject
 to the provisions of the Act, the Company may also have a duplicate seal or seals for use
 in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands. Each duplicate seal shall be a facsimile

26.3 A

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by

26.4 If
 the Directors do not adopt a seal, or a seal is not used, a document may be executed in the
 following manner:

 a Director (or his alternate) and the Secretary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by
 a single Director (or his alternate); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in
 any other manner permitted by the Act.

**Power to allow non-manual signatures and facsimile printing of seal**

26.5 The
 Directors may determine that either or both of the following applies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) that
 the seal or a duplicate seal need not be affixed manually but may be affixed by some other
 method or system of reproduction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) that
 a signature required by these Articles need not be manual but may be a mechanical or Electronic
 Signature.

**Validity of execution**

26.6 If
 a document is duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, it shall not be

 of the Company ceased to be the Secretary or hold that office and authority on behalf of
 the Company.

27 Indemnity

27.2 To
 the extent permitted by Act, the Company may make a payment, or agree to make a payment,
 whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing
 or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or Officer of the Company in

 extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the Director (including alternate
 Director), Secretary or that Officer for those legal costs.

27.3 To
 the extent permitted by Act, the Company may by Special Resolution release any existing or
 former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or other Officer of the Company
 from liability for any loss or damage or right to compensation which may arise out of or

28.2 A
 notice may only be given to the Company in an Electronic Record if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 Directors so resolve or otherwise accept the notice; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any
 Director or Officer provides the giver of the notice an electronic address to which the notice

 be sent.

28.4 Subject
 to the Act, (to the extent applicable) the Designated Stock Exchange Rules and to any other
 rules which the Company is bound to follow, the Company may also send any notice or other
 document pursuant to these Articles to a Member by publishing that notice or other document
 on a website where:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 Company and the Member have agreed to his having access to the notice or document on a website
 (instead of it being sent to him);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
 notice or document is one to which that agreement applies;

 that, if the notice or document is published on that website for a part, but not all of,
 the publication period, the notice or document shall be treated as being published throughout
 that period if the failure to publish that notice of document throughout that period is wholly
 attributable to circumstances which it would not be reasonable to have expected the Company
 to prevent or avoid. For the purposes of this Article 28.4 "publication period"
 means a period of not less than twenty-one days, beginning on the day on which the notification
 referred to in Article 28.4(c) is deemed sent.

**REPRESENTATIVE'S PURCHASE WARRANT**

**J-STAR HOLDING CO., LTD.**

Warrant Shares: 62,500 Issue Date: July 31, 2025 Initial Exercise Date: January 29, 2026

THIS REPRESENTATIVE'S PURCHASE WARRANT (the "<u>Warrant</u>") certifies that, for value received, Maxim Partners LLC or its assigns (the "<u>Holder</u>") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date referred to above as the Initial Exercise Date (the "<u>Initial Exercise Date</u>") and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on July 29, 2030 (the "<u>Termination Date</u>") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from J-Star Holding Co., Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "<u>Company</u>"), up to 62,500 Ordinary Shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the "<u>Warrant Shares</u>"). The purchase price of one Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1. <u>Definitions</u>. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Underwriting Agreement (the "<u>Underwriting Agreement</u>"), dated as of July 29, 2025, by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the several Underwriters named in <u>Annex A</u> thereto.

Section 2. <u>Exercise</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>Exercise of Warrant</u>. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by email (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the "<u>Notice of Exercise</u>"). Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Exercise Price</u>. The exercise price per Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be $4.40, subject to adjustment hereunder (the "<u>Exercise Price</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Cashless Exercise</u>. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of "regular trading hours" (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. ("<u>Bloomberg</u>") as of the time of the Holder's execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during "regular trading hours" on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of "regular trading hours" on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of "regular trading hours" on such Trading Day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

"<u>Bid Price</u>" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Ordinary Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX (each as operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. or any successor market), the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on the Pink Open Market published by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

"<u>VWAP</u>" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX (each as operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. or any successor market), the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on the Pink Open Market published by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant being exercised may be tacked onto the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>Mechanics of Exercise</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise</u>. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company's transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC (the "<u>Transfer Agent</u>") to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system ("<u>DWAC</u>") if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) one (2) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the "<u>Warrant Share Delivery Date</u>"). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver or cause the delivery to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. <u>Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise</u>. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. <u>Rescission Rights</u>. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. <u>Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise</u>. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "<u>Buy-In</u>"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of this Warrant to purchase Ordinary Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v. <u>No Fractional Shares or Scrip</u>. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to The Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii. <u>Closing of Books</u>. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) <u>Holder's Exercise Limitations</u>. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (collectively, a "<u>Person</u>" or "<u>Persons</u>") acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates (such Persons, "<u>Attribution Parties</u>")) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The "<u>Beneficial Ownership Limitation</u>" shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by the Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may, upon notice to the Company, increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. <u>Certain Adjustments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>Share Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its 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 or other Warrants), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Ordinary Shares any capital shares of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator 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 such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Subsequent Rights Offerings</u>. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all of the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the "<u>Purchase Rights</u>"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Pro Rata Distributions</u>. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all holders of record of its Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "<u>Distribution</u>"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case except to the extent an adjustment was already made pursuant to Section 3(a), the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares for other securities, cash, or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization, or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger, or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in <u>Section 2(e)</u> on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in <u>Section 2(e)</u> on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash, or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder's option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; *provided*, *however*, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock, or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Ordinary Shares are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; *provided*, *further*, that if holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Ordinary Shares will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. "<u>Black Scholes Value</u>" means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the "OV" function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of (1) the 30 day volatility, (2) the 100 day volatility, or (3) the 365 day volatility, each of clauses (1)-(3) as obtained from the historical volatility function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder's request pursuant to this Section 3(d), and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days of the Holder's election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the "<u>Successor Entity</u>") to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 3(d)</u> pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term "Company" under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this <u>Section 3(d)</u> regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized Ordinary Shares for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. <u>Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder</u>. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report on Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4. <u>Transfer of Warrant</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>Transferability</u>. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued, except as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). Subject to the foregoing restriction, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>New Warrants</u>. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Warrant Register</u>. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by or on behalf of the Company for that purpose (the "<u>Warrant Register</u>"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5. <u>Registration Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) To the extent the Company does not maintain an effective registration statement for the Warrant Shares and in the further event that the Company files a registration statement with the Commission covering the sale of its Ordinary Shares (other than a registration statement on Form F-4 or F-8, or on another form, or in another context, in which such "piggyback" registration would be inappropriate), then, for a period of three (3) years from the commencement of sales of the Offering, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and offer to the Holder in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Warrant Shares as such Holder may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a "<u>Piggyback Registration</u>"). The Company shall cause such Warrant Shares to be included in such registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Warrant Shares requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggyback Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggyback Registration. Furthermore, each Holder must provide such information as reasonably requested by the Company (which information shall be limited to that which is required for disclosure under the Securities Act and the forms, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) to be included in the registration statement timely or the Company may elect to exclude such Holder from the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration rights described in this Section 5 shall be subject to limitations imposed by the Commission's rules or comments of the Commission staff in connection with its review of the registration statement for any such resale registration. Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing registration obligations of the Company, if the Company furnishes to the Holders requesting a Demand Registration a certificate signed by the Company's chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for a registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such Demand Registration or withdraw a related registration statement for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period or during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Termination Date.

Section 6. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash</u>. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a "cashless exercise" pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant</u>. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of an affidavit of loss reasonably satisfactory to the Company evidencing the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any share certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc</u>. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>Authorized Shares</u>.

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants (based on the number of Warrant Shares underlying such Warrants), the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) <u>Governing Law</u>. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) <u>Jurisdiction; Agent for Process</u>. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that, subject to applicable law, such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, the Company hereby confirms that it has appointed Puglisi & Associates as its authorized agent (the "<u>Authorized Agent</u>") upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any New York federal or state court, by a Holder, the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of such Holder and each affiliate of such Holder, and expressly accept the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. The Company hereby authorizes and directs the Authorized Agent to accept such service. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. If the Authorized Agent shall cease to act as agent for service of process, the Company shall appoint, without unreasonable delay, another such agent in the United States, and notify the Holders of such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as set forth herein, any action arising out of or based upon this Warrant may be instituted by a Holder, the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Holder (if applicable) and each respective affiliate of the Holder, in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Caymans Islands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall limit or restrict the federal district court in which a Holder may bring a claim under the federal securities laws. This paragraph shall survive any termination of this Warrant, in whole or in part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) <u>Restrictions</u>. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h) <u>Nonwaiver and Expenses</u>. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder's rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) <u>Notices</u>. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 10 of the Underwriting Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j) <u>Limitation of Liability</u>. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Share or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k) <u>Remedies</u>. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m) <u>Amendment</u>. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

**UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT**

July 29, 2025

*Maxim Group LLC*

*300 Park Avenue, 16<sup>th</sup> Floor*

*New York, NY 10022*

*As Representative of the Underwriters named on <u>Annex A</u> hereto*

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, J-Star Holding Co., Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (collectively with its subsidiaries and affiliates including, without limitation, all entities disclosed or described as being subsidiaries or affiliates of J-Star Holding Co, Ltd. (the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby confirms its agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>") with the several underwriters (the "<u>Underwriters</u>" and each an "<u>Underwriter</u>"), for whom Maxim Group LLC is acting as representative (in such capacity, the "<u>Representative</u>," and if there are no underwriters other than the Representative, references to multiple underwriters shall be disregarded and the term Representative as used herein shall have the same meaning as Underwriter) to issue and sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 1,250,000 ordinary shares, $0.50 par value per share ("<u>Ordinary Shares</u>"), of the Company (the "<u>Firm Shares</u>"). The Company has also granted to the Representative an option (the "<u>Over-allotment Option</u>") to purchase up to 187,500 additional Ordinary Shares, on the terms and for the purposes set forth in <u>Section 1(b)</u> hereof (the "<u>Option Shares</u>"). The Firm Shares and any Option Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement are herein collectively called the "<u>Securities</u>." The offering and sale of the securities contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein is referred to herein as the "<u>Offering</u>."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) ***Purchase of Securities/Consideration.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. <u>Firm Shares</u>. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of 1,250,000 Firm Shares at a purchase price equal to the initial public offering price (the "<u>Share Purchase Price</u>") net of an underwriting discount equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the initial public offering price of the securities being offered (the "<u>Underwriting Fee")</u>. The Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase from the Company the Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names on <u>Annex A</u> attached hereto and made a part hereof. The aggregate purchase price for the Firm Shares shall equal the amount set forth opposite the name of each such Underwriter on <u>Annex A</u> attached hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. <u>Option Shares</u>. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants to the Representative an option to purchase, for the purposes of covering any over-allotments in connection with the distribution and sale of the Firm Shares, all or any portion of the Option Shares at the same purchase price as the Firm Shares. The option granted hereunder may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time and at any time within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (as defined below) upon notice (confirmed in writing by overnight mail or facsimile or other electronic transmission) by the Representative to the Company setting forth the aggregate number of Option Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and the date and time, as determined by the Representative, when the Option Shares are to be delivered, but in no event earlier than the First Closing Date (as defined below) nor earlier than the first Business Day (as defined below) or later than the tenth Business Day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. An Underwriter will not be under any obligation to purchase any Option Shares prior to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option by the Representative. Upon exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company will become obligated to convey to the Underwriters, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters will become obligated to purchase, the number of Option Shares specified in such notice. The purchase price to be paid for the Option Shares is equal to the product of the Share Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Option Shares to be purchased. The Representative may cancel the Over-Allotment Option at any time prior to the expiration of the Over-Allotment Option by written notice to the Company. No Option Shares shall be sold and delivered unless the Firm Shares previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. <u>Commission and Expenses</u>. In consideration of the services to be provided hereunder, the Company shall pay the Underwriters or their respective designees as set forth in <u>Section 1(a)</u> and, as applicable, <u>Section 1(b)</u>. In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Representative for certain out-of-pocket accountable expenses, as set forth in <u>Section 4(i)</u>, which reimbursement shall be reduced by any Advances (as defined below) previously paid to the Representative. To the extent that the Underwriters' incurred expenses are less than the Advances previously paid, the Underwriters will return to the Company that portion of the Advances not offset by out-of-pocket accountable expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. <u>Representative's Warrants</u>. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Representative (and/or its designees) on the (i) First Closing Date, warrants to purchase such number of Ordinary Shares equal to five percent (5%) of the Firm Shares issued on the First Closing Date and (ii) on each Option Closing Date, if and as applicable, warrants to purchase such number of Ordinary Shares equal to five percent (5%) of the Option Shares issued at such Option Closing Date, if and as applicable (collectively, the "<u>Representative's Warrants</u>"). The Representative's Warrants may be exercised by the payment of cash or via cashless exercise, shall be exercisable for a period of five years commencing six months from the Effective Date (as defined below) of the Registration Statement (as defined below) and will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Registration Statement. The exercise price of the Representative's Warrants is equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Share Purchase Price, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Representative's Warrants and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants will be deemed compensation by FINRA (as defined below), and therefore will be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e). In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither the Representative's Warrants nor any of the Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by any person, for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days beginning on the Effective Date, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) ***Delivery and Payment.***

Payment for the Firm Shares and Option Shares, as applicable, shall be made on the applicable Closing Date by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds upon delivery to the Representative of the Firm Shares and Option Shares, as applicable, through the full fast transfer facilities of the Depository Trust Company (the "<u>DTC</u>") for the account of the Underwriters. The Firm Shares and Option Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representative may request in writing at least one Business Day prior to the applicable Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Firm Shares and Option Shares to be purchased on such Closing Date except upon tender of payment by the Representative for all such Firm Shares and Option Shares, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. <u>Delivery of Representative's Warrants</u>. On the First Closing Date and on each Option Closing Date, if any, the Company shall deliver to the Representative the Representative's Warrants issuable to it on the First Closing Date and each Option Closing Date, as applicable, registered in the name of the Representative or its designees, as instructed by the Representative.

To the best of the Company's knowledge, performance by the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, of such agreements or instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental authority, agency or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or businesses, including those relating to environmental laws and regulations, except to the extent that the violation would not result in a Material Adverse Change (as defined below).

The Company has been duly formed, is validly existing as a company limited by shares in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. ***Subsidiaries***. Each of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, a "<u>Subsidiary</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>Subsidiaries</u>") has been identified on Schedule III hereto. Each of the Subsidiaries has been duly formed, is validly existing as an entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; all of the outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, are paid according to the applicable laws and the articles of association and non-assessable and are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims. None of the outstanding share capital or equity interest in any Subsidiary was issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights of any security holder of such Subsidiary.

Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a "<u>Company Indemnified Party</u>"), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Representative), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Marketing Materials, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Marketing Materials or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information, and will reimburse such Company Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The indemnification obligations under this <u>Section 6(b)</u> are not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability which each Underwriter might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Company Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party's election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iii) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent it in any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under subsection (a) or (b) of this <u>Section 6</u>, in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed to the indemnified party as incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. The indemnifying party under this <u>Section 6</u> shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party or could be named and indemnity was or would be sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel pursuant to <u>Section 6(c)</u>, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. If the indemnification provided for in this <u>Section 6</u> is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering and sale of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total Underwriting Fee received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties' relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were to be determined by *pro rata* allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim that is the subject of this subsection (e). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section 6</u>, no Underwriter shall be required to pay pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u>, either as indemnification or contribution or both, any amount in excess of the amount of the Underwriting Fee actually received by it pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. For purposes of this Agreement, the Underwriters confirm, and the Company acknowledges, that there is no information concerning the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative specifically for preparation of or inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, other than the Underwriter Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) ***Term and Termination of Agreement***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. ***Termination Right***. The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing Date, (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in its opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on any Trading Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction, or (iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an increase in major hostilities, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority, or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets, or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative's opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Securities, or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, or (viii) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date of this Agreement of such a material adverse change in the conditions or prospects of the Company, or such adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Representative's judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the Offering, sale and/or delivery of the Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters for the sale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. ***Expenses***. In the event this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to <u>Section 7(a)</u>, within the time specified herein or any extensions thereof pursuant to the terms herein, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Representative its actual and accountable out of pocket expenses related to the transactions contemplated herein then due and payable, including the fees and disbursements up to $150,000 (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such expense cap in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement), less the $50,000 advance paid by the Company to the Representative prior to the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) ***Underwriter Default.*** If on the First Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, if any, any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the portion of the Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for on such date (otherwise than by reason of any default on the part of the Company), the Representative shall use their reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours thereafter one or more of the other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase from the Company such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth herein, the Firm Securities or Option Securities , as the case may be, which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase. If during such 36 hours the Representative shall not have procured such other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase the Closing Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then (a) if the aggregate number of Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, with respect to which such default shall occur does not exceed 10% of the Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, covered hereby, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in proportion to the respective numbers of Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, which they are obligated to purchase hereunder, to purchase the Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase, or (b) if the aggregate number of Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, with respect to which such default shall occur exceeds 10% of the Firm Securities or Option Securities, as the case may be, covered hereby, the Company or the Representative will have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or of the Company except to the extent provided in Section 6 hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters, as set forth in this Section 8, the applicable Closing Date may be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representative may determine in order that the required changes in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. The term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter. Any action taken under this Section shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) ***Survival of Indemnities, Representations, Warranties, Etc.*** The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Company or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including any termination pursuant to <u>Section 7</u>, the payment, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution agreements contained in <u>Sections 4(i)</u>, <u>6</u>, <u>7</u>, <u>8</u> and <u>9</u>, and the Company's covenants, representations, and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in <u>Section 6</u> and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, any person who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or any affiliate of the Underwriters, or by or on behalf of the Company, the Company's directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the issuance and delivery of the Securities. The Company and the Underwriters agree to notify each other of the commencement of any proceeding against either of them promptly, and, in the case of the Company, against any of the Company's officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, or in connection with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

*As Representative of the Underwriters*

The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if both (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration, and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter that are applicable to the transferor, to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned's Securities (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (iii) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity (1) transfers to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect Affiliate of the undersigned or (2) distributions of Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares to limited partners, limited liability company members or shareholders of the undersigned, (iv) if the undersigned is a trust, transfers to the beneficiary of such trust, (v) by testate succession or intestate succession or (vi) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement; provided, in the case of clauses (i)-(v), that (x) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (y) the transferee agrees in writing with the Representative to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, and (z) no filing by any party under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned's Securities in a transaction not involving a public offering or public resale; provided that (x) the transferee agrees in writing with the Representative to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, and (y) no filing by any party under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer. For purposes of this Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, nor more remote than first cousin.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Ordinary Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary to ensure the validity or enforcement of this Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned understands that the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement if (i) the Company notifies the Representative that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Ordinary Shares to be sold thereunder, or (iii) the Offering is not consummated by August 30, 2025.

The undersigned understands that the underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement are entering into the Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with the Offering in reliance upon this Agreement.
