Void after the date specified in Section 8
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Key Gate Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from Sagent Holding Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), Shares (as defined below), in the amounts, at such times and at the price per share set forth in Section 1. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions described in the Series B-1 Preference Shares and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2010, by and between the Company and the purchaser described therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). The holder of this Warrant is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Third Amended and Restated Members Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2010, by and among the Company and the other parties named therein (the “Members Agreement”).
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Warrant is subject, and to which Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees:
1. Number and Price of Shares; Exercise Period.
(a) Definition of Shares. “Shares” shall mean, at the Holder’s sole option, either (i) the class and series of Preference Shares issued by the Company to investors in the Company’s next round of equity financing (the “Next Financing”) that occurs following the Series B-1 financing and prior to the expiration of this Warrant or (ii) the Company’s Series B-1 Preference Shares. If the Next Financing does not occur prior to the expiration of this Warrant or if the Holder elects for the “Shares” to be the Company’s Series B-1 Preference Shares, “Shares” shall mean the Company’s Series B-1 Preference Shares.
(b) Number of Shares. Subject to any previous exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to purchase up to the number of Shares that equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) USD $5,000,000 by (y) the Exercise Price (as defined below), prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as provided in Section 8.
(c) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share shall be equal to $2.45, subject to adjustment pursuant hereto (the “Exercise Price”).
(d) Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, after the election by the Holder to have the “Shares” be (i) the class and series of Preference Shares issued by the Company to investors in the Next Financing or (ii) Series B-1 Preference Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) (or in connection with the expiration of this Warrant as set forth in Section 8) and prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as set forth in Section 8.
2. Exercise of the Warrant.
(a) Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at the election of the Holder, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 1, by:
(i) the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares being purchased, by wire transfer or certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company.
(b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:
| X | = | Y (A – B) | ||||
|
A |
Where:
| X | = | The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder | ||
| Y | = | The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation) | ||
| A | = | The fair market value of one Share (at the date of such calculation) | ||
| B | = | The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) | ||
For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, acting in good faith; provided, however, that:
(i) where a public market exists for the Company’s Ordinary Shares at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per Share shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Ordinary Shares or the closing price quoted on the national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares is listed as published in the Wall Street Journal, as applicable, for the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value and (y) the number of shares of Ordinary Shares into which each Share is convertible at the time of such exercise, as applicable;
- 2 -
(ii) if the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Ordinary Shares, the fair market value per Share shall be the product of (x) the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering and (y) the number of shares of Ordinary Shares into which each Share is convertible at the time of such exercise, as applicable; and
(iii) if the Warrant is exercised in connection with the a Change of Control, the fair market value per Share shall be equal to the greater of (x) the per share purchase price of Shares in such Change of Control or (y) the product of (A) the per share purchase price of shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares in such Change of Control and (B) the number of Ordinary Shares into which each Share is convertible at the time of such exercise, as applicable.
(c) Share Certificates. The rights under this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that the rights under this Warrant are exercised in part and have not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.
(d) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
(e) Conditional Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant conditioned upon (and effective immediately prior to) consummation of any transaction that would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 by so indicating in the notice of exercise.
(f) Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees during the term the rights under this Warrant are exercisable to take all reasonable action to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued shares of Series B-1 Preference Shares for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares (and shares of Ordinary Shares for issuance on conversion of such shares) as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the rights under this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Series B-1 Preference Shares (and shares of Ordinary Shares for issuance on conversion of such shares) shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms and the conversion of the Shares, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued shares of its Series B-1 Preference Shares (and shares of Ordinary Shares for issuance on conversion of such shares) to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
3. Replacement of the Warrant. Subject to the receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at the expense of the Holder shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
- 3 -
4. Transfer of the Warrant.
(a) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder or Holders. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register in accordance herewith, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant) may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting a change.
(b) Warrant Agent. The Company may appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 4(a), issuing the Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant or conducting related activities.

(d) Exchange of the Warrant upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant (and a properly endorsed Assignment Form) for exchange, subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Company shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register. This Warrant (and the securities issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant) must be surrendered to the Company or its warrant or transfer agent, as applicable, as a condition precedent to the sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any interest in any of the securities represented hereby.
(e) Taxes.

Any transfer of this Warrant or the Shares or the shares of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Holder hereunder, and

(b) Permitted Transfers. Permitted transfers include (i) a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, or (ii) transactions involving the distribution without consideration of Securities by any Holder to (x) a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of a Holder that is a corporation, (y) any of the Holder’s partners, members or other equity owners, or retired partners or members, or to the estate of any of its partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners or members, or (z) a venture capital fund that is controlled by or under common control with one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, the Holder; provided, in each case, that the Holder shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to effect such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition.
(c) Investment Representation Statement. Unless the rights under this Warrant are exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Shares with respect to which the Warrant was exercised, it shall be a condition to any exercise of the rights under this Warrant that the Holder shall have confirmed to the satisfaction of the Company in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, that the Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that the Holder shall have confirmed such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

6. Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:
(a) Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which shares of the Company are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization, conversion of all outstanding shares of the relevant class or series (other than as would
- 6 -
cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8) or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification”), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of shares of such other class or classes of shares that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.
(c) Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding shares of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subdivided (by share split, by payment of a share dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding shares of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are combined (by reverse share split, reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
(d) Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.

11. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) No Registration. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
(b) Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.

(c) Investment Experience.

(e) Access to Data. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Holder believes that it has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities.

The Holder acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.

As used herein, the term “United States” means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, any State of the United States, and the District of Columbia.
(ii) The Holder agrees that its purchase or acquisition of the Securities complies with the applicable requirements of Regulation S. The Holder agrees that the Securities may be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. person only pursuant to applicable securities laws. As used herein, the term “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) means: (A) a natural person resident in the United States; (B) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (C) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person; (D) any trust of
- 9 -
which any trustee is a U.S. person; (E) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States; (F) any nondiscretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person; (G) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated and (if an individual) resident in the United States; and (H) a corporation or partnership organized under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction and formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.
(iii) The Holder has not engaged and will not engage or cause any third party to engage, in any directed selling efforts (as such term is defined in Regulation S) in the United States with respect to the Securities.
(iv) The Holder: (A) is domiciled and has its principal place of business outside the United States; (B) certifies it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person; and (C) as of the date above, the Holder or persons acting on the Holder’s behalf in connection therewith are located outside the United States.
(v) The Holder is not a “distributor” (as defined in Regulation S) or a “dealer” (as defined in the Securities Act).
(vi) The Holder acknowledges that the Company shall make a notation in its stock books regarding the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Warrant and shall transfer such shares on the books of the Company only to the extent consistent therewith. In particular, the Holder acknowledges that the Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration.
(vii) The Holder understands and agrees that each certificate held by the Holder shall bear the legend set forth in Section 5(d) above (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws).
(viii) The Holder hereby represents that the Holder is satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of the Warrant, including (A) the legal requirements within the Holder’s jurisdiction for the purchase or acquisition of the Securities, (B) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (C) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of such securities. The Holder’s acquisition, or subscription and payment for, and the Holder’s continued beneficial ownership of, the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.
(g) Principal Place of Business. The principal place of business of the Holder is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
(h) Restrictions on Resales. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which provides for a non-exclusive safe harbor to exempt resales of shares purchased in a private placement from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Holder understands that the current public information requirement of Rule 144 is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. The Holder acknowledges and
- 10 -
understands that notwithstanding any obligation under the Members Agreement, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied. The Holder acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. The Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
(i) Brokers and Finders. The Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Securities, and the Company has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Securities.
(j) Legal Counsel. The Holder has had the opportunity to review this Warrant, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant with its own legal counsel. The Holder is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
(k) Tax Advisors. The Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.

In the event of any conflict between the Company’s books and records and this Warrant or any notice delivered hereunder, the Company’s books and records will control absent fraud or error.
(d) Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of California, or of any other state.

The balance of this Warrant shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(h) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS WARRANT. If the waiver of jury trial set forth in this paragraph is not enforceable, then any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Warrant shall be settled by judicial reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq. before a referee sitting without a jury, such referee to be mutually acceptable to the parties or, if no agreement is reached, by a referee appointed by the Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court for Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County.

THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102, OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS WARRANT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON THE QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
AND
MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT
| INVESTOR: | ||
| COMPANY: | SAGENT HOLDING CO. | |
| SECURITIES: | THE WARRANT TO PURCHASE 2,040,816 PREFERENCE SHARES ISUED ON APRIL 6, 2010 (THE “WARRANT”) AND THE SECURITIES ISSUED OR ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF (INCLUDING UPON SUBSEQUENT CONVERSION OF THOSE SECURITIES) | |
| DATE: | ||
In connection with the purchase or acquisition of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:
1. No Registration. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
2. Investment Intent. The Investor is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities, nor does it have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for the same.
3. Investment Experience. The Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and protecting its own interests.
4. Speculative Nature of Investment. The Investor understands and acknowledges that its investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Investor can bear the economic risk of its investment and is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.
5. Access to Data. The Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Investor believes that it has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. The Investor understands that any such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. The Investor acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.
A-1-1
6. Regulation S.
(l) The Investor has been advised and acknowledges that: (i) the Securities have not been, and when issued, will not be registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state of the United States or the securities laws of any other country; (ii) in issuing or selling the Securities to the Investor, the Company is relying upon the “safe harbor” provided by Regulation S and/or on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act; and (iii) in connection with any offer or sale of the Securities, such offer or sale, if not registered pursuant to the Securities Act, will comply with the applicable requirements set forth in Regulation S or another available exemption from registration. As used herein, the term “United States” means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, any State of the United States, and the District of Columbia.
(m) The Investor agrees that its purchase or acquisition of the Securities complies with the applicable requirements of Regulation S. The Investor agrees that the Securities may be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. person only pursuant to applicable securities laws. As used herein, the term “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) means: (A) a natural person resident in the United States; (B) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (C) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person; (D) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person; (E) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States; (F) any nondiscretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person; (G) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated and (if an individual) resident in the United States; and (H) a corporation or partnership organized under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction and formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.
(n) The Investor has not engaged and will not engage or cause any third party to engage, in any directed selling efforts (as such term is defined in Regulation S) in the United States with respect to the Securities.
(o) The Investor: (i) is domiciled and has its principal place of business outside the United States; (ii) certifies it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person; and (iii) as of the date above, the Investor or persons acting on the Investor’s behalf in connection therewith is located outside the United States.
(p) The Investor is not a “distributor” (as defined in Regulation S) or a “dealer” (as defined in the Securities Act).
(q) The Investor acknowledges that the Company shall make a notation in its stock books regarding the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Warrant and shall transfer such shares on the books of the Company only to the extent consistent therewith. In particular, the Investor acknowledges that the Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration.
(r) The Investor understands and agrees that each certificate held by the Investor shall bear the legend set forth in Section 5(d) of the Warrant (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws).
A-1-2
(s) The Investor hereby represents that the Investor is satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of the Warrant, including (i) the legal requirements within the Investor’s jurisdiction for the purchase or acquisition of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of such securities. The Investor’s acquisition, or subscription and payment for, and the Investor’s continued beneficial ownership of, the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction.
7. Residency. The residency of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
8. Restrictions on Resales. The Investor acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which provides for a non-exclusive safe harbor to exempt resales of shares purchased in a private placement from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Investor understands that the current public information requirement of Rule 144 is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. The Investor acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Investor wishes to sell the Securities, and that, in such event, the Investor may be precluded from selling such Securities under Rule 144, even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied. The Investor acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Securities. The Investor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
9. Brokers and Finders. The Investor has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Securities, and the Company has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Investor, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Securities.
10. Legal Counsel. The Investor has had the opportunity to review the Warrant, the exhibits and schedules attached thereto and the transactions contemplated by the Warrant with its own legal counsel. The Investor is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Warrant.
11. Tax Advisors. The Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Warrant. With respect to such matters, the Investor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Warrant.
12. Market Stand-off. The Investor agrees that the Investor shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Ordinary Shares (or other securities) of the Company held by
A-1-3
the Holder (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto) , provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements.
