4.3 Arbitration.

 

(a) In the event of any dispute, controversy, difference, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it (each a “Dispute”), the Parties shall seek to amicably settle or resolve such Dispute through negotiations in good faith. Such negotiations shall begin immediately after one party has delivered to the other parties a written request for such negotiations. If within ten (10) days following the date on which such notice is delivered a Dispute is not resolved, all such unresolved Disputes shall be referred to arbitration upon the request of a Party with notice to the other Party.

 

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted in Hong Kong and administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”). The seat of the arbitration shall be Hong Kong. There shall be three arbitrators. Such arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the following:

 

(i) The claimant (the “Claimant”) shall designate one arbitrator in the notice of arbitration (the “Notice of Arbitration”). If the Claimant does not designate one arbitrator in its Notice of Arbitration, HKIAC shall, within 15 days upon application by either party, appoint one arbitrator for the Claimant;

 

(ii) The respondent (the “Respondent”) shall designate one arbitrator in the answer to the Notice of Arbitration (the “Answer to the Notice of Arbitration”). If the Respondent fails (i) to designate one arbitrator in its Answer to the Notice of Arbitration; or (ii) to file its Answer to the Notice of Arbitration by the time that it is required to do so, HKIAC shall, within 15 days upon application by either party, appoint one arbitrator for the Respondent;

 

(iii) The two arbitrators so appointed above shall, within 15 days of confirmation of the second arbitrator, designate a third arbitrator who shall act as the presiding arbitrator of the arbitral tribunal. Failing such designation within the 15 days from the confirmation of the second arbitrator, HKIAC shall, within 15 days upon application by either party, appoint the presiding arbitrator.

 

 

(c) The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitration tribunal shall apply the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. The HKIAC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference to this sub-Section.

 

(d) The arbitrators shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and shall not apply any other substantive law.

 

(e) Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all relevant information and documents requested by the other in connection with such arbitration proceedings; provided, that the Dispute shall be resolved in a confidential manner, and none of the foregoing information or documents or the result of the arbitration shall be disclosed or otherwise used unless required by law or to a court in aid of enforcement of the arbitration award.

 

(f) During arbitration and prior to an arbitration award being granted, the Parties shall continue to perform those obligations under this Agreement that are not in dispute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, it is agreed and understood that each Party retains its right to seek any temporary injunctive relief available under applicable law in respect of any breach by the Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(g) Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may be entitled or become entitled (including without limitation sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-award attachment, immunity to post-award attachment or otherwise) in any arbitration proceedings and/or enforcement proceedings against it arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters covered hereby, and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or in writing, if any, between the Parties with respect to the matters covered hereby are merged and superseded by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

4.9 Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any action or proceeding whether in its entirety or in any portion, then such provision shall be deemed amended, if possible, or deleted, as the case may be, from the Agreement in order to render the remainder of the Agreement and any provision thereof both valid and enforceable, and all other provisions hereof shall be given effect separately therefrom and shall not be affected thereby.

 

 

4.10 Fees and Expenses. Upon the Closing, the Company will pay US$100,000 to the Purchaser for due diligence and legal fees in relation to the transactions proposed in this Agreement.

 

4.11 Taxes. The Company shall bear all stamp duties, issue taxes, and any withholding taxes arising from the issuance of the Purchased Shares and Warrants or any payments made hereunder. In the event any withholding is required, the Company shall gross-up such payments so that the net amount received by the Purchaser is equal to the full amount payable had no such deduction or withholding been required.

 

4.12 Confidentiality and Public Announcement. Each Party shall keep in confidence, and shall not use (except for the purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby) or disclose, any non-public information disclosed to it or its affiliates, representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each Party shall ensure that its affiliates, representatives and agents keep in confidence, and do not use (except for the purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby) or disclose, any such non-public information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Party believes in good faith that any announcement or notice must be prepared or published pursuant to applicable laws (including any rules or regulations of any securities exchange or valid legal process) or information is otherwise required to be disclosed to any governmental authority, such Party may, in accordance with its understanding of the applicable laws, make the required disclosure in the manner it deems in compliance with the requirements of applicable laws, provided that any public announcement of this transaction by each Party shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser or an affiliate of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser or an affiliate of the Purchaser in any press release or filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Nasdaq, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the SEC and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the SEC or Nasdaq regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (b). From and after the Company’s issuance of the press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company shall not, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide to the Purchaser material, non-public information about the Company that would restriction the Purchaser’s ability to trade securities of the Company. The Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchaser(s), covenants that it will comply with the provisions of any confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement executed by it and, in addition, until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are required to be publicly disclosed by the Company, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

 

 

4.13 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser by written notice to the Company, if the Closing has not been consummated by July 31, 2025 (the “Long Stop Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall not be available to the Purchaser whose failure to perform any material obligation required to be performed by the Purchaser under this Agreement has been a cause of, or results in, the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated by the Long Stop Date. No such termination pursuant to this Section 4.13 will affect the right of any Party to sue for any breach by the other Party.

 

4.14 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. The Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Purchaser. The Company agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 

4.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

4.16 Headings. The headings of the various articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted merely for the purpose of convenience and do not expressly or by implication limit, define or extend the specific terms of the section so designated.

 

4.17 Execution in Counterparts. For the convenience of the Parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument, provided that a signature delivered by an electronic mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original.

Warrants.

 

1.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall initially be issued in registered form only.

 

1.2 Effect of Countersignature. If a physical certificate is issued, unless and until countersigned by the Company, a certificated Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.

 

1.3 [Reserved]

 

1.4 Detachability of Warrants. The Warrants shall be detachable and separately transferable from the Ordinary Shares immediately upon issuance.

 

1.5 Fractional Warrants. No fractional Warrants shall be issued. Any entitlement to a fractional Warrant shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

1.6 [Reserved]

 

2.	Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

 

2.1 Exercise Price. Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase one Ordinary Share from the Company, at an exercise price of US$1.079 (the “Exercise Price”), which represents a 10% premium to the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Share and Warrant Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), subject to the adjustments provided in Section 3 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 2.1. The term “Exercise Price” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share (including in cash or by payment of Warrants pursuant to a “cashless exercise,” to the extent permitted hereunder) described in the prior sentence at which Ordinary Shares may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period of not less than fifteen Business Days (unless otherwise required by applicable laws, regulations, or rules), provided that the Company shall provide at least five days’ prior written notice of such reduction to holders of the Warrants, and provided further that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the Warrants.

 

 

2.2 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during a period of 36 months (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the closing date of the transaction contemplated under the Agreement and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of such 36-month period (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions as set forth in subsection 2.3.2 below. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) in the event of a redemption, each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date, provided that the Company shall provide at least 20 days prior written notice of any such extension to holders of the Warrants and, provided further, that any such extension shall be identical in duration among all the Warrants.

 

2.3 Exercise of Warrants.

 

2.3.1 Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the holder thereof by delivering to the Company (i) the Definitive Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”) any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and executed by the holder on the reverse of the Definitive Warrant Certificate, and (iii) the payment in full of the Exercise Price for each Ordinary Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Ordinary Shares and the issuance of such Ordinary Shares, as follows:

 

(a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Company;

 

(b) with the written consent of the Company, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, on a “cashless basis,” in which the holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the volume weighted average price or market closing price of the Ordinary Shares (at the option of the holder) and the Exercise Price by (B) the Fair Market Value; for the avoidance of doubt, the following formula should be applied in this subsection 2.3.1(b):

 

Ordinary Shares to be received = N×|V-P|

V

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

N = Number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants;

P = the Exercise Price;

V = at the option of the holder, either (i) the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Election to Purchase delivered to the Company, or (ii) the market closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Election to Purchase delivered to the Company; or

 

 

(c) in the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 5 hereof in which the Company’s board of directors has elected to require all holders of the Warrants to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Fair Market Value (as defined below) and the Exercise Price by (B) the Fair Market Value; solely for purposes of this subsection 2.3.1(c) and Section 5.3, the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 5 hereof; for the avoidance of doubt, the following formula should be applied in this subsection 2.3.1(c):

 

Ordinary Shares to be received = N×|FMV-P|

FMV

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

N = Number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants;

P = Exercise Price;

FMV = Fair Market Value as defined in this subsection 2.3.1(c); or

 

(d) [Reserved]

 

(e) as provided in Section 6.4 hereof.

 

2.3.2 Issuance of Ordinary Shares on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder on the register of members of the Company, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new Warrant, as applicable, for the number of Ordinary Shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 6.4, (ii) a valid exemption from registration is available, or (iii) such Ordinary Shares bear an appropriate restrictive legend. No Warrant shall be exercisable, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a Warrant, unless the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrants or otherwise bear an appropriate restrictive legend. Subject to Section 3.6 hereof, a holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares. The Company may require holders of Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 6.4. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a cashless basis as permitted under this Agreement, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.

 

2.3.3 Valid Issuance. All Ordinary Shares issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, following the necessary updates to the Register of Members of the Company, shall be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

 

2.3.4 Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares is issued and who is registered in the register of members of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Ordinary Shares on the date on which the Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the register of members of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Ordinary Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are open.

 

2.3.5 [Reserved]

 

 

3.	Adjustments.

 

3.1

Share Capitalizations.

 

3.1.1 Sub-Divisions. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 below, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares is increased by a capitalization or share dividend of Ordinary Shares, or by a sub-division of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, sub-division, or similar event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Ordinary Shares at a price less than the “Historical Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a capitalization of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Ordinary Shares) multiplied by (ii) one minus the quotient of (a) the price per Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering divided by (b) the Historical Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 3.1.1, (y) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (z) “Historical Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the 10-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. No Ordinary Shares shall be issued at less than their par value.

 

3.1.2 Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays to all or substantially all of the holders of the Ordinary Shares a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities, or other assets on account of such Ordinary Shares (or other shares into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (i) as described in subsection 3.1.1 above, (ii) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), and (iii) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to any provision relating to the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each Ordinary Share in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 3.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution that, when combined on a per share basis with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions, paid on the Ordinary Shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution to the extent it does not exceed US$0.50 (which amount shall be adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 3 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price or to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant).

 

3.2 Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split, or reclassification of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification, or similar event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

 

3.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 3.1.1 or Section 3.2 above, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

 

3.4 Anti-Dilution Adjustments. If the Company issues additional Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities at an issue price or effective issue price of less than Exercise Price (the “Newly Issued Price”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to the Newly Issued Price, provided, however, that mergers and acquisitions, strategic financings, and certain employee and consultant issuances will be excluded for purposes of such issuances under this Section 3.4.

 

3.5 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (other than a change under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised such holder’s Warrants immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance” ); provided, however, that (i) if the holders of the Ordinary Shares were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash, or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Ordinary Shares in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange, or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Ordinary Shares (other than a tender, exchange, or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held by shareholders of the Company as provided for in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities, or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Ordinary Shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3; provided further that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Ordinary Shares in the applicable event is payable in the form of shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the holder properly exercises the Warrant within 30 days following the public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a current report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (y) the Exercise Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (z) (a) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) (but in no event less than zero) minus (b) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (assuming zero dividends) (“Bloomberg”). For purposes of calculating such amount: Section 5 of this Agreement shall be taken into account; the price of each Ordinary Share shall be the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the 10-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event; the assumed volatility shall be the 90-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event; and the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the Warrant. “Per Share Consideration” means if the consideration paid to holders of the Ordinary Shares consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per Ordinary Share, and in all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the 10-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in Ordinary Shares covered by subsection 3.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 3.1.1 or Sections 3.2, 3.3, and Section 3.4. The provisions of Section 3.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales, or other transfers. In no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of such Warrant.

 

 

3.6 Notices of Changes in Warrants. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, or 3.5, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Certificate, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

3.7 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.

 

3.8 Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

 

4.	Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

 

4.1 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

 

4.2 Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange that shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.

 

4.3 Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange of Warrants.

 

 

4.4 Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Company is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.

 

4.5 Transfer of Warrants. The transfer of Warrants shall be subject to applicable securities laws and regulations.

 

5.	Redemption.

 

5.1 Redemption of Warrants for Cash. Not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, upon notice to the holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 5.2 below, at the price of US$0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of the Ordinary Shares reported has been at least US$18.00 per share (the “Redemption Trigger Price,” subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 3 hereof), on each of 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given and provided that (i) there is an effective registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 5.2 below), (ii) a valid exemption from registration is available, or (iii) such Ordinary Shares bear an appropriate restrictive legend, or the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 2.3.1; provided, however, that if and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise such redemption right if the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

 

5.2 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption; Redemption Price. In the event that the Company elects to redeem the Warrants pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date (the “30-day Redemption Period”) to the holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the holder received such notice.

 

5.3 Exercise After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. In the event that the Company determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 2.3.1, the notice of redemption shall contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Ordinary Shares to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “Fair Market Value” (as such term is defined in subsection 2.3.1(c) hereof) in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

 

5.4 [Reserved]

 

 

6.	Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

 

6.1 No Rights as Shareholder. A Warrant does not entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

6.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.3 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

  

6.4 Registration of Ordinary Shares; Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.

 

6.4.1 Registration of the Ordinary Shares. To the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is not effective for the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, holders of the Warrants shall have the right to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption) for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value (as defined below) less the Exercise Price by (ii) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 6.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares as reported during the 10-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received by the Company from the holder of such Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice of “cashless exercise” is received by the Company shall be conclusively determined by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the following formula should be applied in this subsection 6.4.1:

 

Ordinary Shares to be received = N×(FMV-P)

FMV

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

N = Number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants;

P = Exercise Price;

FMV = Fair Market Value as defined in this subsection 6.4.1.

 

6.4.2 Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option. If the Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, (i) require holders of Warrants who exercise Warrants to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as described in subsection 6.4.1 and (ii) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall (a) not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and (b) may cause restrictive legends to be added to the Ordinary Shares.
