Liquidated Damages Amount = (A - B) x C
Where:
             
 
  A   =   the Current Market Price (construed as if the Subscription Rights had been exercised);
 
           
 
  B   =   the Purchase Price per Warrant Share (construed as if the Subscription Rights had been exercised); and
 
           
 
  C   =   the total number of Warrant Shares held by the Warrant Holder (construed as if the Subscription Rights had been exercised) (for the avoidance of doubt, as such number of Warrant Shares has been adjusted in accordance with clause 6).
  4.2.3  
As a condition precedent to each exercise of its Subscription Rights, an Exercising Warrant Holder shall submit a duly completed Exercise Notice, which notice shall also set out the Exercised Entitlement of such Exercising Warrant Holder in respect of which it wishes to exercise such Subscription Rights (which may be the whole or part only of its Entitlement) at the Registered Office not less than two (2) Business Days before the Exit Date or (if after a Listing) the intended date of exercise (such Exit Date or (if after a Listing), the intended date of exercise, as the case may be, being an “Exercise Date”) together with (i) its Warrant Certificate and (ii) subject to clause 4.3, the Purchase Price payable to the Company. A Warrant Holder may nominate (in writing to the Company) another person to take up its Warrant Shares. The Company shall promptly (and in any event by no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such Exit Date) notify such Exercising Warrant Holder the Purchase Price payable by such Exercising Warrant Holder in respect of such exercise of Subscription Rights. Subject to the provisions of clause 4.3 and 4.2.4 and/or any other provisions of this Instrument, upon exercise, an Exercising Warrant Holder is obliged to subscribe for at the Purchase Price, and the Company is obliged to allot and issue to such Exercising Warrant Holder, such number of Warrant Shares representing the Entitlement of such Exercising Warrant Holder in respect of which such Exercising Warrant Holder is exercising its Subscription Rights (the “Exercised Entitlement” of such Exercising Warrant Holder).

  4.2.4  
If, after service of an Exit Notice on the Warrant Holder in accordance with clause 4.2.1, it becomes apparent to the Company that the Exit Event will not occur, the Company shall promptly thereafter give notice in writing to the Warrant Holder stating that this is the case and setting out the reasons therefor (the “Revocation Notice”) or if the proposed Exit Event does not occur for any reason, then irrespective of whether any Revocation Notice has been given:
  (a)  
any Exercise Notice served on the Company by the Warrant Holder as a result of the service by the Company of an Exit Notice in connection with that Exit Event shall be deemed to have been revoked and any exercise of any Subscription Rights in connection with such proposed Exit Event shall be deemed not to have been made;
  (b)  
the Company shall return to the Warrant Holder any Warrant Certificate lodged pursuant to clause 4.2.3 and the Purchase Price it has received at the same time as it gives the Revocation Notice (or, if earlier, three (3) Business Days after it becomes apparent that such Exit Event is not occurring within the timing set forth in the Exit Notice relating thereto); and
  (c)  
the Subscription Rights in respect of any Warrants (construed as if no Exercise Notice or exercise of any Subscription Rights had been given or made in respect of such proposed Exit Event) shall remain exercisable in full in accordance with the provisions of this Instrument.
  4.2.5  
In the event of an exercise of Subscription Rights by such Exercising Warrant Holder in accordance with this Instrument, the Company shall procure that the number of Warrant Shares attributable to the Exercised Entitlement of such Exercising Warrant Holder shall be allotted and issued to such Exercising Warrant Holder (or to such persons as may be nominated by such Exercising Warrant Holder in the Exercise Notice) as legal and beneficial owner and free of any Encumbrance on such Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an exercise of Subscription Rights before or on the occurrence of an Exit Event, the Warrant Shares shall be issued in time to participate in the Exit Event.
  4.2.6  
In the event of an exercise of Subscription Rights by such Exercising Warrant Holder, but subject to clause 4.3, the Company shall procure that:
  (a)  
share certificates (physical or uncertificated versions thereof held in the relevant Stock Exchange’s clearing system) representing such Warrant Shares allotted and issued pursuant to clause 4.2.5 are delivered to such Exercising Warrant Holder (or such other persons as may be nominated by such Exercising Warrant Holder in the Exercise Notice); and
  (b)  
the Exercising Warrant Holder (or such other persons as may be nominated by such Exercising Warrant Holder in the Exercise Notice) is entered in the register of members of the Company as the holder of the relevant Warrant Shares within the time frame referred to in clause 4.2.5 and as required by the Applicable Laws and a certified copy of the register of members of the Company evidencing the same is delivered to such Exercising Warrant Holder (or such other persons as may be nominated by such Exercising Warrant Holder in the Exercise Notice).

  4.2.7  
The Company shall procure that the Warrant Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights:
  (a)  
shall be allotted and issued credited as fully paid and shall be free of any Encumbrance;
  (b)  
shall have the rights set out in the Articles relating to Ordinary Shares;
  (c)  
shall rank pari passu in all respects with Ordinary Shares then in issue; and
  (d)  
shall be entitled to receive any Distribution which has previously been announced or declared provided that the date by which the holder of Ordinary Shares must be registered to participate in such Distribution is on or after the date on which the Exercise Notice in respect of the relevant Warrant Shares was lodged with the Company.
  4.2.8  
No fractions of a Warrant Share shall be issued on the exercise of a Warrant but if more than one Warrant is exercised at the same time by the Warrant Holder then, for the purposes of determining the number of Warrant Shares to be issued and whether any (and if so, what) fraction of a Warrant Share arises, the number of Warrant Shares arising on the exercise of each Warrant (including, for this purpose, fractions) shall first be aggregated. If there is still any fraction of a Warrant Share after such aggregation, such fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Warrant Share and the Warrant Holder shall be issued one additional whole Warrant Share in lieu of any such fraction of a Warrant Share.
4.3  
Cash Settlement
  4.3.1  
(In the event of an exercise of Subscription Rights by an Exercising Warrant Holder in respect of an Asset Sale or Change of Control that occurs prior to 5.00pm on the Cut-off Date), upon the exercise of the Subscription Rights with respect to the Exercised Entitlement of that Exercising Warrant Holder, the Company shall, if requested by such Exercising Warrant Holder (“Cash Settlement Event”), pay cash to such Exercising Warrant Holder in respect of such Exercised Entitlement in lieu of issuing Warrant Shares (“Cash Settlement”) in accordance with this clause 4.3.
  4.3.2  
In connection with a Cash Settlement Event, such Exercising Warrant Holder shall specify in its Exercise Notice information of its bank account (“Cash Settlement Account”) to which the Cash Settlement Amount is to be paid.

 

- 15 -


 

  4.3.3  
The aggregate amount of cash payable to such Exercising Warrant Holder if the Company is bound to make Cash Settlement under clause 4.3.1 (“Cash Settlement Amount”) in respect of any exercise of any of the Subscription Rights relating to the Exercised Entitlement (or any part thereof) of such Exercising Warrant Holder shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
Cash Settlement Amount = (EQUATION)
Where:
             
 
  A   =   the Exit Price (in respect of such exercise);
 
           
 
  B   =   the Purchase Price per Warrant Share; and
 
           
 
  C   =   the total number of Warrant Shares subject to Cash Settlement (for the avoidance of doubt, as such number of Warrant Shares has been adjusted in accordance with clause 6).
  4.3.4  
If Cash Settlement applies in respect of any exercise by such Exercising Warrant Holder of any of its Subscription Rights in accordance with clause 4.3.1, the Company shall pay the Cash Settlement Amount (in respect of such Cash Settlement to which such exercise of Subscription Rights relates) to the Cash Settlement Account of such Exercising Warrant Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (i) on the Exit Date, (ii) within three (3) Business Days from the date on which the Exit Price (relating to such exercise) is finally determined in accordance with the provisions of clause 4.4 or (iii) if such Exercising Warrant Holder has not provided the details of its Cash Settlement Account to the Company, within three (3) Business Days from the date on which such Exercising Warrant Holder gives notice of the details of its Cash Settlement Account to the Company, whichever is later.
  4.3.5  
For the avoidance of doubt, a Warrant Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment to the Company in the event of a Cash Settlement (irrespective of whether the Cash Settlement Amount in respect of such Cash Settlement is a negative number).
4.4  
Exit Price
  4.4.1  
In the event that the Cash Settlement Amount or the Purchase Price (in respect of any exercise of any Subscription Rights relating to any Warrants in connection with a Change of Control or an Asset Sale) is required to be determined by reference to the Exit Price, the Exit Price (on a per Share basis) relating to such exercise shall be determined as follows:
  (a)  
In the event that Shares in the Company are purchased in connection with a Change of Control, in accordance with the following formula:
(EQUATION)
Where:
         
 
  P =   value of total purchase consideration paid for the Shares purchased in connection with the Change of Control
 
       
 
  Q =   number of Shares purchased in connection with the Change of Control;

 

- 16 -


 

  (b)  
In the event that Shares in the Company are not purchased in connection with the Change of Control and accordingly clause 4.4.1(a) above does not apply, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Exit Date, appoint at the cost of the Company an Approved Audit Firm to determine the Exit Price which shall be equal to the then Fair Market Value of each Share on an as Converted Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, when evaluating such Fair Market Value of each Share, (i) all the accrued interest with respect to all Preference Shares shall be excluded from the valuation of the Company and (ii) in the case of an Asset Sale, the valuation shall be made on the basis that the Asset Sale has not occurred. The Approved Audit Firm shall issue and deliver to the Company and the Warrant Holders, within thirty (30) days from its appointment, a review opinion setting out the Exit Price in respect of such exercise as determined by it. In determining the Exit Price, the Approved Audit Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator.
4.5  
Replacement Options upon Change of Control or Asset Sale
If there is a Change of Control or an Asset Sale, and in the event that any Warrant Holder does not exercise all or any part of its Subscription Rights in accordance with clause 4.2, such Warrant Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to receive, in respect of any unexercised Subscription Rights, replacement warrants or options or other rights (whether issued by the Company or any other person) acceptable to the Warrant Holders represented by a Written Consent (in respect of any unexercised Subscription Rights) which in any event shall be on terms no less favourable to the Warrant Holders than those under this Instrument (and the Warrant Holders shall be entitled, upon request, to obtain an opinion at the Company’s expense from the Approved Audit Firm confirming the terms of such replacement options or other rights), and the other rights of such Warrant Holder under this Instrument shall be adjusted and construed accordingly.
4.6  
Term
Subject to clause 4.7, if (with respect to a Change of Control or Asset Sale) a Warrant Holder has not exercised its Subscription Rights in full up to and including 5.00pm on the Cut-off Date or if (with respect to a Listing) a Warrant Holder has not exercised its Subscription Rights in full up to and including 5.00pm on the Cut-off Date or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, 5.00pm on the Extended Cut-off Date, in each case in accordance with clause 4.2, that Warrant Holder’s outstanding Warrants which have not been so exercised shall lapse and shall not be capable of being exercised after the Cut-off Date or the Extended Cut-off Date, as applicable.
4.7  
No lapse
If the Company fails to comply in full with its obligations pursuant to this Instrument, any rights attaching to the Warrants which are not exercised prior to or at 5.00pm on the Cut-off Date (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Extended Cut-off Date, as applicable) shall not lapse upon 5.00pm on the Cut-off Date (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Extended Cut-off Date, as applicable) and shall remain capable of being exercised in accordance with the terms of this Instrument until the Company has complied in full with its obligations under this Instrument.

The Company shall pay all Taxes (if any) arising in Singapore on the constitution and initial issue of the Warrants or the subscription of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise by the Warrant Holders of their Subscription Rights and all bank fees, charges or other expenses that may be due in connection with the payment of the Cash Settlement.

5.  
LISTING
5.1  
Stock Exchanges
The provisions of this Instrument relating to the procedures of a Listing shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect the administrative procedures of the Stock Exchange where the Listing takes place, provided that such adjustments shall not in any way adversely affect the rights of the Warrant Holders and further provided that the Company shall give prior notice to each Warrant Holder of any such adjustment to this Instrument.
5.2  
Stock Exchange’s objections
In the event that the Company shall pursue a Listing and the Stock Exchange raises objections to the Company’s application for a Listing on the basis that the Warrants are outstanding and/or that they can be exercised in accordance with the terms of this Instrument and/or in respect of any other rights of the Warrant Holders under this Instrument, the Company and the Warrant Holders shall enter into discussions in good faith with a view to finding a solution which will result in the Stock Exchange removing its objections and execute such documentation and take such steps as may be reasonably necessary for the implementation of any such solution, provided that the rights of the Warrant Holders shall not thereby in any way be adversely affected.
6.  
ADJUSTMENT
6.1  
If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Instrument, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Rights are changed into the same or a different number of Shares or any class or classes of Shares of the Company, whether by subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or otherwise, in any such event, a Warrant Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise its Warrants to purchase the kind and amount of Shares and/or other securities and property receivable upon such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other change which a Warrant Holder could have received had it exercised such Warrants immediately prior to such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other change, and its other rights under this Instrument shall be adjusted and construed accordingly.

 

- 18 -


 

6.2  
In the case of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale, if a Warrant Holder does not exercise its rights under clauses 4.2, 4.3 or 4.5, appropriate adjustment acceptable to the Warrant Holders represented by a Written Consent shall be made with respect to any unexercised Subscription Rights so that, after such adjustment, the total number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the Subscription Rights will then be, or be capable of being, exercised will carry:
  (a)  
as nearly as possible (and in any event not less than) the same proportion (expressed as a percentage of the total number of votes exercisable on a poll in respect of all the Shares) of the votes;
  (b)  
the same entitlement to participate (expressed as a percentage of the total entitlement conferred by all the Shares) in the profits and assets of the Company; and
  (c)  
the same entitlement to receive value (expressed as a percentage of the total entitlement conferred by all the Shares) on the occurrence of an Exit Event,
as the total number of Warrant Shares which could have been subscribed pursuant to the Subscription Rights conferred by the Warrants then outstanding would have had, had the Asset Sale or Change of Control not occurred (and the Warrant Holders shall be entitled, upon request, to obtain an opinion at the Company’s expense from the Approved Audit Firm confirming the terms of such adjustment), and the other rights of such Warrant Holders under this Instrument shall be adjusted and construed accordingly (in accordance with the terms of such Written Consent). For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any merger of the Company with another entity which results in a Change of Control, any adjustment to the Subscription Rights of any Warrant Holder pursuant to this clause 6.2 shall be based on the Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Company excluding all Shares issued pursuant to such merger to persons other than Blizzard or the Controlling Shareholders.
6.3  
If any of the following events takes place, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to take account thereof as follows:
  6.3.1  
Split, subdivision or combination of shares: If the Company at any time while the Warrants remain outstanding splits, subdivides or combines the securities as to which Subscription Rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Purchase Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
  6.3.2  
Issue of new shares or convertible securities: If the Company at any time while the Warrants remain outstanding creates, issues or allots any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into any Ordinary Shares of the Company, the Purchase Price shall immediately be adjusted so that after such adjustment the reference to the amount of US$3.40 per Warrant Share in the definition of Purchase Price (as adjusted in accordance with this clause) shall be replaced by such amount in US Dollars per Warrant Share as reflects the intent that the Warrant Holders are entitled to exercise their Subscription Rights to receive the Total Entitlement of 15% of the then Fully Diluted Share Capital in return for the payment of an aggregate Purchase Price of One Million Fifty Five Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Eight US Dollars and Sixty Cents (US$1,055,328.60).

 

- 19 -


 

6.4  
The Company shall: (i) notify the Warrant Holders in writing at least ten (10) days prior to any event as described in clause 6, describing in detail the proposed adjustment and provide any clarification as may be reasonably requested by the Warrant Holders and (ii) promptly and in any event within five (5) days after the event update the Register and send the Warrant Holders written notice detailing the adjustment together with a replacement Warrant Certificate setting out the adjusted Entitlement (if any) of the Warrant Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such adjustment shall be effective irrespective of whether such replacement Warrant Certificate(s) are issued and/or delivered to the Warrant Holders.
