The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

 

(a) Evaluation of Risks. The Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and bearing the economic risks entailed by, an investment in the Securities and of protecting its interests in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk, and that the Buyer may lose all or a part of its investment.

 

(b) No Legal, Investment or Tax Advice from the Company. The Buyer acknowledges that it had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party with its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. The Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of the Company’s representatives or agents for legal, tax, investment or other advice with respect to the Buyer’s subscription for the Securities hereunder, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer may lose all or a part of its investment.

 

(c) Investment Purpose. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Buyer does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with, or pursuant to, a registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act.

The Buyer agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities. The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer has completed the investor questionnaire contained in “Exhibit B” and that the information contained therein is complete and accurate as of the date thereof and is hereby affirmed as of the date hereof. Any information that has been furnished or that will be furnished by the Buyer to evidence its status as an accredited investor is accurate and complete, and does not contain any misrepresentation or material omission.

The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management and have received answers to such questions. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. For the transaction contemplated under the Transaction Documents, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Company has not made to the Buyer, and it has not relied upon, any representations and warranties of the Company, its employees or any third party other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

(g) Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) the Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters reasonably acceptable to the Company) that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; and (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

 

(h) Legends. The Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as its required by this Section 2(h), of a restrictive legend on the Securities in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Subject to the provision of representation letters from the Buyer and its representatives as the Company may reasonably require, certificates and book entry positions evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not bear the legend set forth above or any similar legend to substantially the same effect, (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume limitations, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by the Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a de-legending request (endorsed or with stock powers attached, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer of the relevant securities, if applicable), together with corresponding instruments of transfer (where applicable) and any other deliveries from the Buyer as may be reasonably required by the Company and/or its transfer agent, as directed by the Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such Securities are Conversion Shares, credit the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Buyer shall be entitled to the Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Buyer, a certificate representing such securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, or a book-entry statement electronically only, registered in the name of the Buyer or its designee. The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees (except to the extent set forth on any share certificate (including any form of instrument of transfer set forth on the back side of a share certificate) evidencing Ordinary Shares in respect of the holder’s indemnification obligations) with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities in accordance herewith. The Buyer agrees that the removal of a restrictive legend from certificates or book entry positions representing Securities as set forth in this Section 2(h) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

The Buyer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below) to which it is a party and to subscribe for or acquire Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

The Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Buyer and, assuming the execution and delivery hereof and acceptance thereof by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms.

 

(j) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Buyer, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Buyer is a party or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Buyer, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Buyer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

4.COVENANTS.

Except as otherwise agreed expressly by the Company and the Buyer, approximately 60% of the proceeds shall be allocated to the direct or indirect purchase of bitcoins, 30% will be allocated for direct participation in initial rounds of the Company’s Asia BTC strategy companies and the remaining 10% will be allocated by Company’s discretion as working capital, except that the Company shall retain the right to adjust such allocations as it deems fit.

To the extent applicable, the Company shall promptly secure the listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of all of the Underlying Securities (as defined below) on the Principal Market, subject to official notice of issuance, and shall use reasonable efforts to maintain such listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of all Underlying Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents on such Principal Market for the Reporting Period. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Ordinary Shares on a Principal Market during the Reporting Period. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(c). “Underlying Securities” means the (i) the Conversion Shares, and (ii) any Ordinary Shares of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, including, without limitation, (1) as a result of any stock split, share dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise and (2) shares of the Company into which the Ordinary Shares are converted or exchanged without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Note.

In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants or any of the covenants or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Buyer), in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, the Buyer shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public information, without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. The Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Current Report and contemporaneously therewith or (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations.

 

10

 

 

(e) Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as expressly set forth below, the Buyer covenants that from and after the date hereof through and ending when the Note no longer remains outstanding (the “Restricted Period”), no Buyer or any of its officers, or any entity managed or controlled by the Buyer (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Ordinary Shares which establishes a net short position or (ii) put equivalent position or any hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to any securities of the Company (including the Ordinary Shares), with respect to each of clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, either for its own principal account or for the principal account of any other Restricted Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) Ordinary Shares; or (2) selling a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares that such Restricted Person is entitled to receive, but has not yet received from the Company or the transfer agent, (A) upon the completion of a pending conversion of the Note for which a valid Conversion Notice (as defined in the Note) has been submitted to the Company pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Note.

 

(g) Trading Information. Upon the Company’s request, the Buyer agrees to provide the Company with daily trading reports setting forth the number and average sales prices of Conversion Shares sold by the Buyer during the Trading Day upon which sales took place.

 

(h) Prohibited Transactions. From the date hereof until all of the Note has been repaid or converted into Ordinary Shares, the Company agrees to not directly or indirectly enter into any contract, agreement or other item that would restrict or prohibit any of the Company’s obligations to the Buyer under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, any payments required by the Company to the Buyer under the Note.

(ii) The Company agrees that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction selected by the Buyer or, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company waives any right to object to the maintenance of any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing Jurisdiction on the basis of improper venue or inconvenience of forum.

 

(iii) Any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, brought by the Company against the Buyer arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any matter relating to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company shall not file any counterclaim against the Buyer in any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Buyer against the Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Governing Jurisdiction unless under the rules of the court in which the Buyer brought such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding the counterclaim is mandatory, and not permissive, and would be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim in the suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding instituted by the Buyer against the Company. The Company agrees that any forum outside the Governing Jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum and that any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Company against the Buyer in any court outside the Governing Jurisdiction should be dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing Jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or commence any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Buyer arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any matter relating to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The Company and the Buyer agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

(iv) The Company and the Buyer irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address provided for notices in this Agreement, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.

 

(v) Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Buyer to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against the Company or any other Person in the Governing Jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction.

 

14

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THE PARTIES EACH MAKE THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHOICE.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(f) Entire Agreement, Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement. As a material inducement for the Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect the Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TOP WIN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, a Cayman Islands exempt company (Nasdaq: SORA) (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [REDACTED], or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the amount set out above as the principal amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate from the date set out above as the Note Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Convertible Note (including all notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of 26 July 2025, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Buyer listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section (13).

  

(1) GENERAL TERMS

(a) Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note. The “Maturity Date” shall be [__], being three years from the Issuance Date. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay or redeem any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest.

(b) Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof on a simple and non-compounding basis at an annual rate equal to 3.00% (“Interest Rate”). Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Payment of accrued and unpaid Interest shall be made annually on the calendar anniversary of the Issuance Date, or if such day is not a Business Day the next Business Day, and shall be on pro rata basis if not an exact year.

 

18

 

(c) Payment Dates. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay).

 

 (d) Taxation. All payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest made by or on behalf of the Company will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, imposts, assessments or governmental charges, deductions or withholdings, of whatever nature imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or on behalf of Hong Kong or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (“Taxes”), unless deduction or withholding of such Taxes is required by law. In such event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the Holder of the net amounts after such deduction or withholding equal to the amounts which would otherwise have been receivable by them had no such deduction or withholding been required, except that no such additional amount shall be payable in respect of this Note:

(i) to the Holder (or to a third party on behalf of the Holder) who is subject to such Taxes in respect of this Note by reason of his having some connection with Hong Kong otherwise than merely by holding this Note or by the receipt of amounts in respect of this Note (including, without limitation, the Holder being a resident of, or a permanent establishment in, Hong Kong), or where the withholding or deduction could be avoided by the Holder making a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the appropriate governmental authority which the Holder is legally capable and competent of making but fails to do so; or

(ii) (in the case of a payment of principal) if the certificate in respect of this Note is surrendered more than thirty (30) days after the relevant date except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such additional amount on surrendering the relevant certificate for payment on the last day of such period of thirty (30) days.

For the purposes of this Section, “relevant date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due. References in this Note to principal, premium and interest shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be payable under this Note or any undertaking or covenant given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor.

   

(2) PAYMENTS

(a) Payments under the Note. All payments pursuant to the terms of this Note shall be made in U.S. dollars, shall be paid to the Holder by the Company to such account as is notified by the Holder to the Company at least two Business Days prior to such payment deadline, and shall be paid to the Company by the Holder to such account as is notified to the Holder by the Company.

 

(b) Early Redemption. The Company at its option and in its sole discretion shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time or times commencing six (6) months after the Issuance Date to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note in cash at the Redemption Amount as described in this Section; provided that the Company provides the Holder with at least 10 Scheduled Trading Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption. Each Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date for the Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Date”), the outstanding Principal of the Notes to be redeemed and the Redemption Amount applicable to such Principal. The “Redemption Amount” shall be an amount equal to the outstanding Principal actually being redeemed by the Company (after giving effect to any conversions with a Conversion Date prior to the Redemption Date) on the Redemption Date, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal amount being redeemed by the Company to, but excluding, the relevant Redemption Date. The Holder may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal of the Note plus all accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date by delivering to the Company a Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof prior to the Redemption Date. On the Redemption Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Holder’s account specified for such purpose by the Holder to the Company. Upon request from the Company by notice to the Holder, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company, or in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, shall provide an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note.

(a) An “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(4) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into Ordinary Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (4).

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the limitations of Section (4)(c), at any time or times commencing six (6) months after the Issuance Date and terminating on the tenth Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section (4)(b), at the Conversion Price (as defined below). The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (4)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of an Ordinary Shares upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest US$0.0001. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an Ordinary Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of an Ordinary Shares up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount, unless such tax is due because the Holder requests such Ordinary Shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name (in which case such tax will be the responsibility of the Holder).

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the outstanding Principal to be converted at the election of the Holder, plus the accrued and unpaid Interest on such outstanding Principal to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. Conversion rights may only be exercised in respect of an authorized denomination in outstanding Principal, being US$100,000 and integral multiples thereof, plus the accrued and unpaid Interest on such outstanding Principal.

21

 

 

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination and subject to adjustments set forth herein, US$8.79 per Ordinary Share. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Note.

  

(b) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Ordinary Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver pursuant to Section (7), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section (4)(b), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall, or shall cause its Transfer Agent to, allot and issue to the Holder Ordinary Share(s) registered in the name of the Holder representing such number of Ordinary Shares issuable, and deliver to the Holder a book entry statement via email. Promptly after the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates or the book-entry position of the Ordinary Shares and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, instruct such Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or if restrictive legends are required to be placed on certificates or book-entry positions of the Ordinary Shares, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, an original certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, or a book-entry statement electronically only, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. Each of the Company and the Holder shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to the other or the Transfer Agent all documents, instructions and writings required by the Transfer Agent in order to implement and effect the conversions contemplated herein. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares on the Conversion Date.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. Subject to the Holder’s compliance with Section (4)(b)(i) above, if the Company fails to perform its obligations under Section (4)(b)(i) above (a “Conversion Failure”), if the Holder is required, in a commercially reasonable manner, to incur commercially reasonable costs to mitigate or prevent a failed settlement for any sale by the Holder of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, after the Holder’s request pay cash to the Holder in the amount of such costs; provided, however, that the Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to mitigate any costs related to the Buy-In.

  

22

 

 

(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

  

(c) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive Ordinary Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such Ordinary Shares, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(d) Other Provisions.

(i) All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest US$0.0001 or whole share.

(ii) The Company covenants that it will have in force at all times prior to the Maturity Date approval from the shareholders of the Company, if required, or the approval from the directors of the Company, for the directors to exercise any power of the Company to issue such number of Ordinary Shares not less than the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) this Note is convertible at the Conversion Price as of the date of determination, (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note set forth herein (the “Required Issuance Amount”)), provided that at no time shall the number of Ordinary Shares that the Company has approval to issue pursuant to this Section (4)(d)(ii) be reduced other than proportionally with respect to all Ordinary Shares in connection with any conversion (other than pursuant to the conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms) and/or cancellation, or reverse stock split. If at any time the approval from the shareholders of the Company (including (i) in relation to equity or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or that can be settled in Ordinary Shares (other than the Note) and (ii) Ordinary Shares remaining available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans) is not sufficient to meet the Required Issuance Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to propose to its next annual general meeting of shareholders such resolutions as may be necessary to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Note, recommending that shareholders vote in favor of such an increase. The Company covenants that, upon issuance in accordance with conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms, the Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

  

23

 

 

(iii) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (3) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver Ordinary Shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(iv) Legal Opinions. If in the opinion of the Holder’s legal counsel it is then permissible to remove the restrictive legend from the Underlying Shares in connection with an effective registration statement for the resale of such Underlying Shares or pursuant to Rule 144, then the Holder may cause legal counsel to deliver legal opinions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with such legend removal, subject to the provision of representation letters from the Holder and its representatives as the Company and its legal counsel may reasonably require.

(5)    ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares, (b) subdivide outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification Ordinary Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification (subject to readjustment, if any such dividend, distribution, stock split, stock combination or other event contemplated in this Section (5)(a) is not made, with effect as of the date that the Company determines not to proceed with such event).

  

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the Ordinary Shares receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Ordinary Shares had such Ordinary Shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and without duplication) or (ii) in connection with a Corporate Event as a result of which the Ordinary Shares are exchanged for, or represent the right to receive, other securities, cash or other assets (or any combination thereof) in lieu of the Ordinary Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities, cash or other assets received by the holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as shall be determined in a commercially reasonable manner by the Company, based on the amount and kind of such securities, cash or other assets that a holder of one (1) Ordinary Share received in such Corporate Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue any fractional portion of such assets). The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

24

 

 

(c) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (5) hereof, the Company shall promptly provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(d) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the resulting or surviving Person), or (2) sale by the Company (directly or indirectly, through one or more Subsidiaries of the Company) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section (5)(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Note then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable by or deemed to be held by holders of Ordinary Shares following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the equivalent number of the Ordinary Shares into which such aggregate amount of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity (if not the Company) to issue to the Holder a convertible note with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest and other amounts owing thereon (without duplication), which such newly issued convertible note shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Note set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Note was issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued convertible notes shall be calculated by the Company in a commercially reasonable manner based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each Ordinary Share would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

  

(6) REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

(a) Transfer. This Note may be transferred in authorized denominations in Principal, being US$100,000 and integral multiples thereof, with a transfer form duly completed and signed, and any transfer shall be notified by signed writing to the Company together with such proof of identity and title, evidence and indemnity as the Company may require. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereof) and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred.

Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section (6)(a) or Section (6)(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the Principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from the Issuance Date.

(ii) The Company agrees that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction selected by the Holder or, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company waives any right to object to the maintenance of any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing Jurisdiction on the basis of improper venue or inconvenience of forum.

(iii) Any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, brought by the Company against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company shall not file any counterclaim against the Holder in any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Holder against the Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Governing Jurisdiction unless under the rules of the court in which the Holder brought such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding the counterclaim is mandatory, and not permissive, and would be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim in the suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding instituted by the Holder against the Company. The Company agrees that any forum outside the Governing Jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum and that any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Company against the Holder in any court outside the Governing Jurisdiction should be dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing Jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or commence any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The Company and the Holder agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

  

27

 

 

(iv) The Company and the Holder irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address provided for notices in this Note, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.

(v) Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against the Company or any other Person in the Governing Jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction.

 

(c) THE PARTIES MUTUALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS NOTE OR ANY MATTER RELATING TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THE PARTIES EACH MAKE THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHOICE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.

   

(11) Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.

(12) If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any Interest or other amount deemed Interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the Principal of or Interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
