5.3              Cashless Exercise.

 

(a)                Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, where the Exit Payment due to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Exit Payments Agreement is US$1,350,000, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant and elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

Net Number = (A / C) – [(A/2) / B]

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

  A   =   US$2,700,000.
     

 

 

B   =  

the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Ordinary Shares for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice calculated based on the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the American Depository Shares of the Company for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice (the “Weighted Average Prices”).

     
  C   =   the Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise.

 

(b)               Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, where the Exit Payment due to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Exit Payments Agreement is US$0, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant, and elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number = (A / C) – (A / B)

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

  A   =   US$2,700,000
     
    B   =   the Weighted Average Prices.  
     
  C   =   the Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise.

 

5.4              Exit Payment Set-Off.

 

(a)                Prior to 14 December 2024, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole (but not in part), by way of set off against the right to receive Exit Payment payable by the Company to the Holder under the Exit Payments Agreement.

 

(b)               On 14 December 2024 (or the next Business Day where 14 December 2024 is not a Business Day), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole (but not in part), by way of set off against the Exit Payment payable by the Company to the Holder under the Exit Payments Agreement (“Exit Payment Set-Off”), where the Exit Payment to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Exit Payments Agreement is US$2,700,000.

 

(c)                Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein or in the Exit Payment Agreement, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the Exit Payments Agreement shall immediately terminate with no further force and effect and for the avoidance of doubt, the Exit Payment shall be deemed to have been satisfied, and the Holder, the Company and the Founders shall be released from any and all claims, obligations and liabilities arising from or relating to the Exit Payments Agreement.

5.5              Holding Period. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act, as in effect on the date hereof, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Closing Date.

 

6.Actions to Be Taken by Company upon Exercise of Warrant.

 

No ink-original Exercise Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Notice form be required.  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered the applicable Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).  On or before the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s Principal Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares or Warrants Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (the “Standard Settlement Period”), in each case following the date of delivery of the applicable Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Warrant Shares cannot be credited to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for any reason, credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the Company’s Transfer Agent or issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  If there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, the Warrant Shares shall be issued free of restrictive legends and the Company shall cause its counsel to deliver an opinion to Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.

7.Registration Rights

 

7.1              Demand Registration.

 

(a)                Grant of Right. The Company, upon written demand (a “Demand Notice”) of the Holder, agrees to register for twice, and only twice, on Form F-3 (if available) or Form F-1 (if Form F-3 is not available) all or any portion of the Warrant Shares (after the exercise of the Warrants) (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). On such occasion, the Company will file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) covering the Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand Notice and use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective promptly thereafter, subject to compliance with review by the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Notice if the Company has filed a registration statement with respect to which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if such registration statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the Company, until the offering covered by such registration statement has been withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten (10) days after the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice.

 

(b)               Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the first-time registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 7.1(a), but the Holder shall pay or reimburse the Company promptly, all fees and expenses attendant to any subsequent registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 7.1(a). The Holder shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holder to represent it in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause the filing required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the Holder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such registration would cause: (i) the Company to be obligated to register or license to do business in such State or submit to general service of process in such State or (ii) the principal shareholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 7.1(a) to remain effective for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months after the date that the Holder of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement are first given the opportunity to sell all of such securities. The Holder shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission.

 

7.2              “Piggy-Back” Registration.

 

(a)                Grant of Right. In addition to the demand right of registration described in Section 7.1 hereof, the Holder shall have the right to include the Registrable Securities as part of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to Form S-8 or any equivalent form); provided, however, that if, in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the securities the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall, in its reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on the number of Ordinary Shares which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall reasonably permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders.

 

(b)               Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof, but the Holder shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holder to represent such Holder in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than fifteen (15) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each registration statement filed by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holder. The holders of the Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice within five (5) days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holder may request registration under this Section 7.2.

7.3              General Terms.

 

(a)                Indemnification.

The Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement.

 

(b)               Exercise of Warrants. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.

 

(c)                Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering reasonably requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all material correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all material memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws.

In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be (i) subdivided (by share dividend, share split, subdivision or otherwise), into a greater number of Ordinary Shares; or (ii) shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise into a lesser number of Ordinary shares, the Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or combination, be proportionately increased or decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend of shares, division or combination of shares, or other similar event becomes effective.

In the event the Company at any time or from time to time makes, or files a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive any distribution payable in securities or assets of the Company other than Ordinary Shares, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, the amount of securities or such other assets of the Company to which the holder of this Warrant would have been entitled (or a reasonable substitute therefor) upon such effective date or record date had the holder of this Warrant exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to all other adjustment called for during such period hereunder and under the Restated Articles and provided that each share issued pursuant to exercise of this Warrant is issued for a consideration not less than the par value of such share.

 

7

 

 

8.3              Adjustment for Merger and Consolidation.

8.4              Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly give the holder of this Warrant written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

11.Loss or Mutilation.

 

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.
