(g) Buyer has been advised that (i) there are restrictions on the transferability of, the securities; and (ii) it may not be possible to readily liquidate this investment. Buyer understands that she may not offer for sale, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose of its interest in the securities unless they are registered for resale under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws or the transfer is exempt from such registration, and that as a result, the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. The Buyer agrees that appropriate legends and stop transfer instructions may be applied to the securities and the certificates or other evidences of the securities.

(i) certified true copy of the updated register of members of Company reflecting the Holder as the legal owner of the Warrant Shares; and

(ii) original share certificates in the name of the Holder representing the Warrant Shares.

The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares; providedthat the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder.

4. Reservation of Shares; Issuance of Shares

The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non‑assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all pre-emptive rights, in each case except restrictions on transfer contemplated by this Warrant and to the extent created by the Holder.

5. Fractional Shares

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder may not exercise this Warrant to purchase fractional shares. In the case of a fractional share, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued on an exercise that causes a fractional share will be rounded down to the next whole Warrant Share.

6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares

The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

6.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances

If the Company shall at any time before the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Ordinary Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Ordinary Shares, or issue additional shares of its Ordinary Shares as a dividend, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Ordinary Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Clause 6.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

6.2 Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation

In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock (including because of a change of control) of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Clause 6.1 above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time before the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a Holder of the same number of Ordinary Shares as were purchasable by the Holder of this Warrant immediately before such

reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

6.3 Notice of Adjustment

When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

6.4 Full Ratchet Anti-Dilution Protection

If the Company shall at any time before the expiration of this Warrant sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any Shares or Share Securities at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Shares or Share Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Shares at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Share or Share Security are issued. For the purpose of this Clause 6.4, "Share Securities" means any warrant, option, subscription or purchase right with respect to Shares, any security convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise entitling the holder thereof to acquire Shares or any warrant, option, subscription or purchase right with respect to any such convertible, exchangeable or other security.

7. Cashless Exercise

If at any time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of the Ordinary Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A) where:

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Clause 11 hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Clause 11 hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the ADSs on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Clause 11 hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Clause 11 hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) =	the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) =	the number of Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Clause 7. Without limiting the cashless exercise provision set forth in this Clause 7, there is no circumstance that would require the Company to net-cash settle this Warrant.

"Bid Price" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following Clauses that applies:

(a) if the ADSs are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the ADSs for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time));

(b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable;

(c) if the ADSs are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the ADSs are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per ADS so reported; or

(d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an ADS as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the buyers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

"VWAP" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following Clauses that applies:

(a) if the ADSs are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time));

(b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable;

(c) if the ADSs are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the ADSs are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent Bid price per share of the ADSs so reported; or

(d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an ADS as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

8. Representations of the Company

The Company represents that all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken.

9. Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant

9.1 Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the registered holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other Persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby.
