Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company with respect to itself and its subscription hereunder, that:

3.1 Investment Purpose. Purchaser is subscribing for the Shares for its own account and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing any of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other Persons regarding the sale or distribution of such Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 and except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 or pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.

3.2 Reliance on Exemptions. Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and issued to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

3.3 Information. Purchaser has been furnished with all relevant materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company necessary to make an investment decision, and materials relating to the offer and issue of the Shares, that have been requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, the SEC Documents, and Purchaser has had the opportunity to review the SEC Documents. Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company regarding the Company, including without limitation, all aspects of the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, prospects, intellectual property and pending disputes. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Documents and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Agreement, it being agreed that the Company has made and does not make any representations or warranties to Purchaser expect as expressly set forth herein.

3.4 Acknowledgement of Risk.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk; (b) Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Shares; (c) Purchaser has, in connection with Purchaser’s decision to subscribe for Shares, not relied upon any representations, warranties or other information (whether oral or written) of or related to the Company other than: (i) those representations and warranties of the Company specifically set forth herein and (ii) the information contained in the SEC Documents, and Purchaser has, with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the offer and issue of the Shares, relied solely upon the advice of Purchaser’s own counsel and has not relied upon or consulted or counsel to the Company; and (d) Purchaser acknowledges that the obligation of the Company under this Agreement is contingent upon the Requisite Shareholder Approval and in the event that the Requisite Shareholder Approval is not obtained Purchaser shall not have any recourse against the Company resulting from the First Subscription Agreement or the failure to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval. For clarity, other than as provided under this Agreement and

the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, Purchaser waives any and all rights arising under the 2009 Agreement solely with respect to the First Subscription Agreement, including without limitation the right to notice.

3.5 Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein.

3.6 Transfer or Resale. Purchaser understands that:

(a) the Shares and the ADSs representing the Conversion Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act (other than as contemplated in Article 6) or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares and the ADSs representing the Conversion Shares (as applicable) for an indefinite period of time because such securities may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Shares or ADSs representing the Conversion Shares (as applicable) is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, as contemplated in Article 6; (ii) Purchaser has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares or ADSs representing the Conversion Shares (as applicable) to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (iii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; or (iv) Purchaser is a partnership transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests or a limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company;

(b) any sale of the Shares or ADSs representing the Conversion Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares or ADSs representing the Conversion Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and

(c) except as set forth in the First Subscription Agreement and in Article 6 of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the resale of the Shares or the ADSs representing the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

3.7 Legends.

(a) Purchaser understands the certificates representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Shares):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND THE DEPOSITARY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.

(b) To the extent the resale of the Shares or the ADSs representing Conversion Shares is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly, but in no event more than two Business Days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s depositary of a legended certificate representing such securities and any certifications or representation letters reasonably required by the Company’s depositary (i) authorize the removal of the legend set forth in Section 3.8(a) and any other legend not required by applicable law from such Shares or ADSs representing Conversion Shares and (ii) cause its depositary to issue such ADSs representing Conversion Shares without such legends to the holders thereof by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). With respect to any Shares and ADSs representing Conversion Shares for which restrictive legends are removed pursuant to this Section 3.7(b), the holder thereof agrees to only sell such Shares and ADSs representing Conversion Shares when and as permitted by the effective Registration Statement covering such resale and in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. Any fees (with respect to the Company’s registrar, depositary, counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend(s) shall be borne by the Company.

(c) Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from the Shares and the ADSs representing Conversion Shares (i) following any sale of the Shares or ADSs representing Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Shares or ADSs representing Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following the expiration of the one-year holding requirement under subparagraphs (b)(1)(i) and (d) thereof. Following the time a legend is no longer required for the Shares or ADSs representing Conversion Shares under this Section 3.7(c), the Company will, no later than two Business Days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s depositary of a legended certificate representing such securities and any certifications or representation letters reasonably required by the Company’s depositary (the “Legend Removal Date”), (A) deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a certificate representing such securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (B) at the request of Purchaser, cause its depositary to issue such ADSs representing Conversion Shares without such legends to the holders thereof by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the DTC. The failure to timely deliver certificates without restrictive legends by the Legend Removal Date shall not be a breach of the foregoing covenant if such delay is solely due to the action or inaction of the Company’s depositary and if the Company has taken all reasonable steps necessary to facilitate the removal of such legends.

(d) Purchaser covenants and agrees that it shall not deliver a notice of conversion to the Company or otherwise seek to convert the Series A Preference Shares until such time as (i) the resale of the ADSs representing Conversion Shares is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) (1) following any sale of the ADSs representing Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or (2) if such ADSs representing Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following the expiration of the one-year holding requirement under subparagraphs (b)(1)(i) and (d) thereof.

3.9 Authorization; Enforcement. Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

3.11 No Short Sales. Between the time Purchaser learned about the Placement and the public announcement of the Placement, Purchaser has not engaged in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the Ordinary Shares or any derivative thereof, nor has Purchaser, directly or indirectly, caused any Person to engage in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the Ordinary Shares or any derivative thereof, including, without limitation, and in each case, in any transaction aimed, directly or indirectly, at affecting the price of the ADSs listed on Nasdaq for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.12 Purchaser Status. At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act. Purchaser is not, or to the extent it has them, any of its shareholders, members, managers, general partners, directors, or executive officers are not, subject to any Disqualification Event set forth in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act. Purchaser confirms that it has exercised reasonable care to determine whether it or any of the aforementioned persons are subject to a Disqualification Event. The subscription for the Shares by Purchaser will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event. Purchaser shall notify the Company immediately in writing of the occurrence of any Disqualification Event that has not previously been disclosure to the Company.

4.8 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8 and Section 6.6 with respect to indemnification under such Section, the Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser and its directors, executive officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, executive officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser in any capacity, or any Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Parties, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Parties may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Parties of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Parties which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).

In any such proceeding, any Section 4.8 Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Section 4.8 Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Section 4.8 Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Section 4.8 Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Section 4.8 Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Section 4.8 Indemnified Person, which consent shall not

be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Section 4.8 Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Section 4.8 Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Section 4.8 Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

6.1 (a) No later than 30 days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities with the SEC for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, or if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales of the Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Purchaser may reasonably specify (the “Initial Registration Statement”). The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form).

(b) The Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration (including a declaration of effectiveness thereof by the SEC) and applicable qualifications or compliances (including, without limitation, the execution of any required undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications or exemptions under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable securities laws, requirements or regulations) prior to the date which is 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that in the event that Initial Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, then the Effectiveness Date shall be extended to 120 days following the Closing Date; provided, further, that the Company shall request prompt acceleration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement within five Business Days from the first date on which the Staff of the SEC informs the Company that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or be subject to further comments, as applicable (in which case, the “Effectiveness Date” shall be as of 5:00 p.m. (ET) on the fifth Business Day following such notice to the Company). For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Initial Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Initial Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 6.1.

(c) In the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC and/or (iii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement,

the Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities on the Initial Registration Statement. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “Remainder Registration Statements”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the SEC limits the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), any required cutback of Registrable Securities shall be applied first to Registrable Securities not acquired pursuant to this Agreement, and then to the Purchaser (or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the then-current Holder).

6.2 All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification, exemption or compliance pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities registered by or on behalf of Holders shall be borne by such Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of securities so registered.

6.3 The Company further agrees that, in the event that (i) the Initial Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC by the Filing Date, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date, or (iii) after such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, it is suspended by the Company or ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, other than, in each case, within the time period(s) permitted by Section 6.7(b) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), (a “Registration Default”)), for all or part of any thirty-day period (a “Penalty Period”) during which the Registration Default remains uncured (which initial thirty-day period shall commence on the second Business Day after the date of such Registration Default if such Registration Default has not been cured by such date), the Company shall pay to each Holder 1% of such Holder’s aggregate Purchase Price of his or her Shares, that remain Registrable Securities for which such Registration Statement is required to be effective and for which there is not otherwise an effective Registration Statement at such time, for each Penalty Period during which the Registration Default remains uncured; provided, however, that if a Holder fails to provide the Company with any information requested by the Company that is required to be provided in such Registration Statement with respect to such Holder as set forth herein, then the commencement of the Penalty Period described above with respect to such Holder shall be extended until two Business Days following the date of receipt by the Company of such required information from such Holder; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement more than 1% of such Holder’s aggregate Purchase Price of all of his or her Securities for which a Registration Statement is required to be effective in any Penalty Period and in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 8% of the aggregate

Purchase Price paid by such Holder for such Holder’s Securities. For purposes of clarification, and solely for purposes of calculating the liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 6.3, each Holder’s Purchase Price for each Share shall be deemed to be the Purchase Price. The Company shall deliver said cash payment to the Holder by the fifth Business Day after the end of such Penalty Period. If the Company fails to pay said cash payment to any Holder in full by the fifth Business Day after the end of such Penalty Period, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 8% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law, and calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days) to such Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Registration Default occurs pursuant to clause (iii) hereof, the 1% of liquidated damages referred to above for any Penalty Period shall be reduced to equal the percentage determined by multiplying 1% by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement that is suspended by the Company or ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective which are still Registrable Securities at such time and for which there is not otherwise an effective Registration Statement at such time and the denominator of which shall be the number of Registrable Securities at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall preclude any Holder from pursuing or obtaining any available remedies at law, specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Section 6.3 in accordance with applicable law.

6.4 In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform each Holder as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

(a) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to a Holder, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date all Shares and ADSs representing the Conversion Shares held by such Holder may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144. The period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period.”

(b) advise the Holders within three Business Days:

(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(v) subject to the provisions this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;

(c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(d) if a Holder so requests in writing, promptly furnish to each such Holder, without charge, at least one copy of each Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if explicitly requested, all exhibits in the form filed with the SEC;

(e) during the Registration Period, promptly deliver to each such Holder, without charge, as many copies of each prospectus included in a Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request in writing; and the Company consents to the use, consistent with the provisions hereof, of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by a prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

(f) during the Registration Period, if a Holder so requests in writing, deliver to each Holder, without charge, (i) one copy of the following documents, other than those documents available via the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system: (A) its annual report to its stockholders, if any (which annual report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with GAAP by a firm of certified public accountants of recognized standing), (B) if not included in substance in its annual report to stockholders, its annual report on Form 10-K (or similar form), (C) its definitive proxy statement with respect to its annual meeting of stockholders, (D) each of its quarterly reports to its stockholders, and, if not included in substance in its quarterly reports to stockholders, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or similar form), and (E) a copy of each full Registration Statement (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits); and (ii) if explicitly requested, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to the immediately preceding clause (E);

(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, promptly take such actions as may be necessary to register or qualify or obtain an exemption for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such United States jurisdictions as any such Holders reasonably request in writing, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by any such Registration Statement;

(h) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 6.4(b)(v) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC which could affect the sale of the Registrable Securities;

(j) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which equity securities issued by the Company have been listed;

(k) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144;

(l) provide to each Holder and its representatives, if requested, the opportunity (under cover of a confidentiality agreement, if requested by the Company) to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company’s financial and other records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors and employees for questions regarding information which such Holder may reasonably request in order to fulfill any required due diligence obligation on its part;

(m) permit a single counsel for the Holders to review any Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, within two Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the SEC; provided that, in the case of clauses (l) and (m) above, the Company shall not be required (A) to delay the filing of any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto as a result of any ongoing diligence inquiry by or on behalf of a Holder or to incorporate any comments to any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto by or on behalf of a Holder if such inquiry or comments would require a delay in the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, or (B) to provide, and shall not provide, any Holder or its representatives with material, non-public information unless such Holder agrees to receive such information and enters into a written confidentiality agreement with the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company; and.

(n) if requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.

6.5 The Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

6.6 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder and each Person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or other document prepared by the Company and incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder and each Person controlling such Holder, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is related to the failure of such Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time any Registration Statement becomes effective or in an amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) which meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (each, a “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder or any such controlling Person, if a copy of a Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage;

(b) Each Holder will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation,

commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that a current copy of a prospectus was not made available to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection (b) and subsection (d) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable

considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

6.7 (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (a “Suspension Notice”), each Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall be permitted to settle trades that were executed pursuant to the Registration Statement prior to the Holder’s receipt of any Suspension Notice. A Suspension Notice shall only state that the Registration Statement use shall be suspended and shall not convey any material non-public information relating to the Company and nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s ability to sell, during the effectiveness of a Suspension Notice, any Registrable Securities under Rule 144(to the extent then available), in a privately negotiated transaction, or otherwise outside of the Registration Statement (in each case, as may be permitted under the Securities Act.

(b) Each Holder shall suspend, upon request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 during no more than two periods of no more than 20 Trading Days each during any 12-month period (with a period of at least 90 Trading Days between any two suspensions) to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities under any such Registration Statement would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

(c) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing, including completing a Registration Statement Questionnaire in the form provided by the Company or in a mutually agreeable form, or as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Article 6.

(d) Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied.

(e) Each Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to a Registration Statement which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

(f) At the end of the Registration Period the Holders shall discontinue sales of securities pursuant to any Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the securities covered by any such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of securities registered which remain unsold promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

6.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the Holders still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

6.9 The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 6.1 may be assigned by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities, provided, however, that such transfer must be made at least five days prior to the Filing Date and that (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company at least five days prior to the Filing Date; and (iii) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 6.9, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.

6.10 Prior to the time that Registration Statement(s) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities have been declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall not file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities other than a registration statement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, a registration statement on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, a registration statement on Form S-4; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions in this Section 6.10 shall terminate upon such time as all of the Registrable Securities (i) have been publicly sold by the Holders or (ii) may be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period.

6.11 The rights of any Holder under any provision of this Article 6 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by such Holder.

Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends (other than dividends in the form of Ordinary Shares) on the Series A Preference Shares equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Ordinary-Shares basis) to and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of Ordinary Shares) actually paid on Ordinary Shares when, as and if such dividends (other than dividends in the form of Ordinary Shares) are paid on the Ordinary Shares. In the case of any capitalisation of profits or reserves resulting in the allotment of fully paid Ordinary Shares to the holders of Ordinary Shares, the amount appropriated to the Holders shall be applied in paying up new Series A Preference Shares which shall be allotted to the Holders in accordance with their respective entitlements.

SECTION 3. VOTING RIGHTS.

Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by applicable law, the Series A Preference Shares shall have no voting rights.

SECTION 4. RANK; LIQUIDATION.

(a) The Series A Preference Shares shall rank: (i) in priority to all of the Ordinary Shares; (ii) in priority to any class or series of shares of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms subordinate to any Series A Preference Shares (“Junior Securities”); (iii) pari passu with any class or series of shares of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its

terms pari passu with the Series A Preference Shares (“Parity Securities”); and (iv) subordinate to any class or series of shares of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms in priority to any Series A Preference Shares (“Senior Securities”), in each case, as to a distribution of assets on a liquidation or a return of capital (other than a conversion, redemption or purchase of shares).

(b) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Company, upon on a liquidation or a return of capital (other than a conversion, redemption or purchase of shares) (each, a “Liquidation Event”), each holder of Series A Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive, in priority to any distributions of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of the Ordinary Shares and Junior Securities and pari passu with any distribution to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount equal to $.001 per Series A Preference Share, plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to holders of any class of Ordinary Shares or Junior Securities.

(c) After payment to the holders of the Series A Preference Shares of the amount required under Section 4(b) and subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Company, the remaining assets or surplus funds of the Company, if any, available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preference Shares, any other class or series of shares that participates with the Ordinary Shares in the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation Event and the Ordinary Shares, with the holders of the Series A Preference Shares deemed to hold that number of Ordinary Shares into which such Series A Preference Shares are then convertible.

SECTION 5. CONVERSION.

(a) Conversions at Option of Holder.

Each Series A Preference Share shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the date of the issue thereof, at the option of the Holder thereof, into a number of Ordinary Shares calculated on the basis of the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time of such conversion. Holders shall effect conversions by notice to the Company (a “Notice of Conversion”), executed by the Holder in the form attached hereto as Annex A. Other than a conversion following a notice provided for under Section 6(d)(ii) hereof, the Notice of Conversion must specify at least a number of Series A Preference Shares to be converted equal to the lesser of: (x) 100 Ordinary Shares (such number subject to appropriate adjustment following the occurrence of an event specified in Section 6(a) hereof) and (y) the number of Series A Preference Shares then held by the Holder. The “Conversion Date” shall be the Trading Day that the executed Notice of Conversion is sent by facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Company; provided that the Notice of Conversion, is received in original

form by the Company within two (2) Trading Days thereafter. In all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the Notice of Conversion is received in original form by the Company.

(b) Conversion Ratio.

The fully paid Series A Preference Shares are convertible into fully paid Ordinary Shares at the rate of one Ordinary Share for every 10 Series A Preference Shares (the “Conversion Ratio”). A holder of Series A Preference Shares shall not be entitled to receive any fractions of an Ordinary Share.

(i) Delivery Upon Conversion.

Within three Trading Days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion for the Series A Preference Shares being converted, the Company shall cause the name of the converting Holder to be entered in the Register as the holder of the number of Conversion Shares being created upon the conversion of Series A Preference Shares.

(ii) Method of Conversion.

The conversion of the Series A Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares shall be effected by the consolidation and/or sub-division of the Series A Preference Shares and redesignation of them as Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Ratio or in such other manner as may be determined by the Directors at the time of conversion and as is permitted by the Companies Act.

(iii) Obligation Absolute.

Subject to the Companies Act, the Company’s obligations to deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preference Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any set-off, counterclaim, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Holder in connection with the delivery of such Conversion Shares.

(iv) Fractional Shares.

No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preference Shares. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction as determined by the Directors or round down to the next whole Ordinary Share.

(e) Status as Shareholder.

Upon each Conversion Date, the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted Series A Preference Shares shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such Ordinary Shares and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder. The Ordinary Shares to which a Holder is entitled upon conversion shall for all purposes be credited as fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares then in issue and entitle the holder to receive dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on Ordinary Shares on or after the Conversion Date.

SECTION 6. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

(a) Sub-division and Consolidation.

If the Company, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares remain capable of being converted into Ordinary Shares, sub-divides any Ordinary Shares into a larger number of Ordinary Shares or consolidates any Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect such sub-divisions or consolidation such that following the consolidation or sub-division the paid up nominal value of the Series A Preference Shares being converted is equal to the paid up nominal value of the Ordinary Shares into which they convert.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event.

(b) Rights Upon Distribution of Assets.

If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares (other than dividends in the form of Ordinary Shares), by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), a Holder shall be entitled to receive the dividend or distribution of assets that would have been payable to such Holder pursuant to the Distribution had such Holder converted his or her Series A Preference Shares (or, if he or she had partially converted such shares prior to the Distribution, any unconverted portion thereof) immediately prior to the record date applicable to such Distribution.

All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest $0.01 or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

(d) Notice to the Holders.

(i) Adjustment to Conversion Ratio. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 6, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Register a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Other Notices. 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 non-recurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any redesignation of the Ordinary Shares, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of 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 filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series A Preference Shares, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Register, at least 20 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 redesignation, 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 redesignation, 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.
