Representing Ordinary Shares
Warrant No.: [●]
Number of Warrant ADSs: [●]
Date of Original Issuance: [●] (“Issuance Date”)
MetaOptics Ltd, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of [●], 2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between the Company and Roth Capital Partners, LLC and The Benchmark Company, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto, providing for the initial public offering (the “Offering”) of American depositary shares representing the Ordinary Shares, [●], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price then in effect, at any time or times on or after [●], [●]1(the “Initial Exercise Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, [●] ([●])2 American depositary shares (“ADSs”), as subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Warrant ADSs”), representing [●] ([●])3 fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant to Purchase American Depositary Shares Representing Ordinary Shares (this “Warrant”) is issued pursuant to (i) the Underwriting Agreement and (ii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-[●]) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Initial Exercise Date, through and including the Expiration Date, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional Warrant Shares or Warrant ADSs), by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) of the Holder’s election to exercise this 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. Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery of such Exercise Notice, if the Holder is not electing a Cashless Exercise pursuant to Section 1(c), the Holder shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant ADSs as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds (a “Cash Exercise”). The Holder shall not be required to surrender this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is exercised in full or for the remaining unexercised portion hereof, the Holder shall deliver this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within a reasonable time after such exercise. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has submitted the Exercise Notice to the Company (the date upon which the Holder has submitted the Exercise Notice to the Company, the “Exercise Date”), the Company shall transmit by email transmission an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”). The Company shall deliver any objection to the Exercise Notice on or before the Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has submitted the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant ADSs hereunder, the number of Warrant ADSs available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
| 1 | 180 days after the closing date of the Offering. |
| 2 | An aggregate of 3.0% of the ADSs sold in the Offering at each Closing Date, allocated between the Representatives. |
| 3 | An aggregate of 3.0% of the Ordinary Shares sold in the Offering at each Closing Date, allocated between the Representatives. |
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” per Warrant ADS means $[●] (which is equal to 120% of the price of the ADSs sold in the Offering), subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Cashless Exercise. The Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrants ADSs determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = (A - B) (X)
(A)
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
| A | = | the Weighted Average Price for the three (3) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date. |
| B | = | the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant ADS at the time of such exercise. |
| X | = | the total number of Warrants ADSs with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised (assuming for such purpose that such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a Cashless Exercise). |
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant ADSs issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant ADSs shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Issuance Date.
(d) Mechanics of Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise. The Company shall or shall cause its agent to deposit the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise with the depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) and instruct the Depositary to credit the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Depositary is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement with a current prospectus registering for resale of the Warrant ADSs by the Holder or (B) the Warrant ADSs are eligible for resale by the Holder without the current information requirements, or the volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by electronic (registered in book-entry format) or physical delivery of an ADR (as defined in that certain Deposit Agreement by and among the Company, the Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder, dated as of [●], 2026 (the “Deposit Agreement”)) for the number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, in each case (provided that the whole Exercise Price payable has been received by the Company) by the date that is the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (z) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant ADS Delivery Date”). The Holder (or other person named in the Notice of Exercise as recipient of the Warrant ADSs) shall be treated by the Company as if it were the beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs subject to a Notice of Exercise for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised (irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant ADSs), provided that payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Company prior to the Warrant ADS Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver, or cause the Depositary to deliver, to the Holder the Warrant ADSs subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date and such failure is not caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder or any force majeure event beyond the Company’s control, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise (see below), or, if after the Warrant ADS Delivery Date and prior to the receipt of such Warrant ADSs, the Holder purchases, or another Person purchases on the Holder’s behalf or for the Holder’s account (in an open market transaction or otherwise) ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Warrant ADSs issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Depositary (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s written request (accompanied by reasonably detailed documentation of the Buy-In) and in the Company’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the ADSs so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to cause to deliver such Warrant ADSs shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to cause to deliver to the Holder such Warrant ADSs and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant ADSs, times (B) the Weighted Average Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such ADSs. The Company agrees to maintain a depositary and transfer agent (if applicable) that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.
2
(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant ADSs, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant ADSs called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Depositary to transmit to the Holder the Warrant ADSs pursuant to Section 1(d)(i) by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company or any force majeure event beyond the Company’s control), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in respect of the untransmitted Warrant ADSs (with the effect that the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant ADSs pursuant to this Warrant shall be restored) and the Company shall promptly return to the Holder the Aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant ADSs.
(iv) [Reserved]
(v) No Fractional Warrant ADSs. No fractional Warrant ADSs shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of an ADS which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round down to the next whole ADS.
(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant ADSs shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant ADSs, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant ADSs shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant ADSs are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Depositary fees and expenses required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic issuance and delivery of the Warrant ADSs.
(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its register of members or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to limit any rights of the Depositary under the terms and provisions of the deposit agreement among, inter alia, the Company and the Depositary.
(viii) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant ADSs, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant ADSs that are not disputed.
3
(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares underlying Warrant ADSs which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of this Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1(e), in determining the number of Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 20-F, report on Form 6-K or other public filings filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally or in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 1(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(f) Piggyback Registration Rights. Unless all of the Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Registrable Securities”) are included in an effective registration statement with a current prospectus pursuant to which all of the Registrable Securities would be tradable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right for a period of not more than five (5) years from the commencement of the sales of the Offering (the “Offering Date”), in accordance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5110(g)(8), to include the remaining Registrable Securities as part of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than (i) a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Act is applicable, or (ii) a registration statement on Form F-4, S-8 or any successor form thereto or another form not available for registering the Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for sale to the public), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more shareholders of the Company (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed filing of such registration statement) to the Holder of the Company’s intention to effect such a registration, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter(s), if any, of the proposed offering. Such notice to the Holder shall continue to be given for each registration statement to be filed by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been sold. The Company shall include in such registration such number of the Registrable Securities that the Holder has (within thirty (30) days of the Holder’s receipt of such notice) requested in writing to the Company (including such number) to be included within such registration. The Company will cause any managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will pay all fees and expenses related to any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any such registration is consummated; provided, however, that the Holder shall be responsible for (i) any underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holder and (ii) the fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Holder in connection with such Piggyback Registration. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holder may request Piggyback Registration under this Section 1(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such Piggyback Registration rights shall terminate on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Offering Date.
(g) Demand Registrations. Requests for Registration. Unless all of the Registrable Securities are included in an effective registration statement with a current prospectus pursuant to which all of the Registrable Securities would be tradable upon exercise of this Warrant, for a period of five (5) years from the Offering Date, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8), the Holder may request registration under the Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities on Form F-1 or any similar long-form registration or on Form F-3 or any similar short-form registration, if available (any such requested registration, a “Demand Registration”). On such occasion, the Company shall file such registration statement covering such Registrable Securities within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the request for Demand Registration and have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. The Company shall cause any such registration statement 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 is first given the opportunity to sell all such securities. Any request for a Demand Registration must specify the approximate number or dollar value of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the requesting Holder. The Holder will be entitled to request (i) one (1) Demand Registration in which the Company will pay all fees and expenses related to such registration, provided that the Holder shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Holder in connection with such registration, and (ii) one (1) Demand Registration in which the Holder will pay all fees and expenses related to such registration, in each case, whether or not any such registration is consummated. If there are multiple Holders of this Warrant and/or the Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Registration to all other registered Holders of this Warrant and/or the Registrable Securities within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the receipt of any such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such Demand Registration rights shall terminate on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Offering Date in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to delay the filing of any Demand Registration for up to sixty (60) calendar days if the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) determines in good faith that such delay is necessary to avoid disclosure of material, non-public information that would be required to be included in such registration statement.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT ADSs. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant ADSs shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the applicable trading markets, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.
(b) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in ADSs or Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any ADSs or Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding ADSs or Ordinary Shares into a larger number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares, as applicable, (iii) combines (including by way of share consolidation) outstanding ADSs or Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares, as applicable, or (iv) issues by reclassification of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or any shares of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of ADSs (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of ADSs outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(b) 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, consolidation or re-classification.
(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights or phantom share rights pro rata to the record holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares), then the Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant ADSs so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant ADSs as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
(d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any ADSs or Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(e) Change in ADS Ratio. If after the Original Issuance Date the ADS ratio is increased or reduced, then the number of Warrant ADSs to be provided on exercise of a Warrant will be reduced or increased (respectively) in inverse proportion to the change in the ADS ratio of Ordinary Shares per ADS and the Exercise Price per Warrant will be increased or reduced (respectively) in proportion to the change in Ordinary Shares per ADS, so that the total number or Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants and the aggregate Exercise Price for all Warrants remain unchanged.
6
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 2, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant ADSs and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
3. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such ADSs or Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and this Section 3(a) shall not apply to any Distribution to which the Holder is entitled under Section 2(d)).
(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing (unless the Company is the Successor Entity) all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to the completion of such Fundamental Transaction, including, but not limited to, agreements to deliver to each holder of the Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Warrant ADSs reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant ADSs acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Warrant ADSs (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock, ordinary shares or common shares (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. 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 ADSs or Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for ADSs or Ordinary Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Corporate Event but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of Warrant ADSs (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Corporate Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 3(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

4. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Memorandum and Articles of Association, or other governing documents, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith comply with all the provisions of this Warrant and take all actions consistent with effectuating the purposes of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company shall validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable ADSs and Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, which shall not be subject to preemptive or similar rights and which shall be free and clear of all liens, taxes and charges, (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares represented by Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise), and (iv) shall cause all Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to be listed on all securities exchanges on which the ADSs issued to the public in the Offering are then listed, so long as this Warrant is outstanding.
5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of shares, reclassification of shares, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of Warrant ADSs which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a copy of each notice given to shareholders of the Company at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to its shareholders. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
