Description of the Transaction

On July 11, 2023 (the “Initial Closing Date”), SEALSQ Corp, a company with limited liability organized under the law of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”), closed an initial $10 million tranche (the “First Tranche”) of a private placement of Convertible Notes and Warrants with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 11, 2023, between the Company and the Investors (the “Purchase Agreement”).

In connection with the closing of the First Tranche, the Company issued to the Investors (i) 4% Senior Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes due 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000.00 (the “Initial Notes,” and together with the Notes that may be issued in the second tranche issuance described below, the “ Notes”), convertible into a number of the Company’s Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) Warrants with a 5-year maturity (the “Initial Warrants,” and together with the Warrants that may be issued in the second tranche issuance described below, the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of Ordinary Shares.

A second tranche issuance of Notes and Warrants (the “Second Tranche”) is subject to the mutual consent of the parties, and may be provided for up to a total of $10 million in principal amount of Notes. Such Second Tranche would close only after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below) and upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of the closing conditions for the Second Tranche specified in the Purchase Agreement. Such principal amount, if funded, will be added to the principal amount of the Notes, and the Investors will be entitled to receive an additional Warrants carrying the same terms as the Initial Warrants.

The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 11, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Investors covering the resale of all of the Ordinary Shares issuance upon conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants.

The terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement are summarized below. The following description of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement are a summary only and does not purport to be complete and, is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of such documents, the forms of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes and the Warrants described above were offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D thereunder.

Summary Terms of the Purchase Agreement

The Purchase Agreement details the Notes and Warrants to be issued in the First Tranche and in the Second Tranche and the conditions precedent for such First Tranche and Second Tranche issuances of Notes and Warrants. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, indemnification, and other covenants of the Company and the Investors, as well as the following material terms:

2

Future Financing Participation Right. Subject to certain exceptions, for a period of one (1) year from the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Investors shall have the right to participate in up to thirty percent (30%) of future financings of the Company undertaken during that period.

Prohibited Transactions. From the date of the Purchase Agreement until such time as neither Investor holds any of the Notes having a principal amount in excess of $250,000.00, the Company shall not: (i) enter into any financing transactions that qualify as “variable rate transactions” or (ii) utilize any “at the market” offering program in respect of its Ordinary Shares. Furthermore, while any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not issue any equity option, warrant or similar instrument which contains an “alternative cashless exercise” provision that provides for the exercise of such security without payment of the exercise price in cash. These prohibited transactions do not include issuance of (a) Ordinary Shares or options not to exceed 15% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of Purchase Agreement to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company, its parent company and their respective subsidiaries pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company; or (b) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144), but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

Public Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Investor owns any Warrants or Notes or (ii) all of the Warrants have expired, the Company will maintain the registration of the Ordinary Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Exchange Act, even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

Share Reserve. The Company shall maintain a reserve of 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the First Tranche. With respect to the Second Tranche, a number of additional Ordinary Shares equal to the higher of (i) 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 200% of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and upon exercise of the Warrants, in each case, issued in the Second Tranche (subject to certain assumptions as to applicable Note conversion and Warrant exercise prices).

Termination. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any Investor, as to such Investor’s obligations thereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Investor, or by the Company, by written notice to the other parties, if the First Tranche has not been consummated on or before the fifth Trading Day following the date of the Purchase Agreement.

Summary Terms of the Notes

Seniority. The obligations of the Company under each Note shall rank senior to all other existing “Indebtedness” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and equity of the Company except for (i) additional Notes provided for under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) indebtedness up to $2,000,000.00 payable to Cisco System, Inc., and (iii) intercompany loans up to $8,000,000.00 between the Company and its affiliates; provided that, the combined debt from (ii) and (iii) shall not exceed 15% of the average market capitalization of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (adjusted for the outstanding number of F Shares at the five (5) F Share to one Ordinary Share redemption ratio).

3

Original Issuance Discount. The Initial Notes carry a 4.0% original issue discount, resulting in proceeds before expenses to the Company from issuance of Notes in the Initial Tranche of approximately $9,600,000.00. The Note was issued on July 11, 2023 (the “Original Issuance Date”). If the full amount of the Notes issuance in the Second Tranche is funded, after taking into consideration the 4.0% original issue discount, the proceeds before expenses to the Company from the issuance of Notes in the Second Tranche would be approximately $9,600,000.00. The Notes issuable in the Second Tranche are expected to have the same terms as the Notes issued in the First Tranche.

Maturity. Each Initial Note has a 24-month maturity unless the Investors have given notice to the Company that they elect to accelerate the Maturity Date to the extent explicitly permitted by the Notes (the “Maturity Date”). The initial Maturity Date may be extended one time for an additional six (6) months at the option of the Company by written notice to the Investors.

Interest Payments. Interest on the Initial Notes shall commence accruing on the Original Issuance Date at 4% per annum (the “Interest”), shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and four 90-day quarterly periods and shall be payable by the Company to the holder(s) of such Notes as of the last day of the applicable quarterly period in cash, within three (3) trading days of the end of each 90-day quarterly period quarter while this Note remains outstanding (each, a “Scheduled Interest Payment Date”). Upon the written consent of the Investors, the Interest may be paid by the Company in Ordinary Shares on the Scheduled Interest Payment Date at the applicable conversion price. All accrued and unpaid Interest not otherwise paid on a Scheduled Interest Payment Date shall be due on the Maturity Date.

Prepayment; Change of Control Payment. If the Company directly or indirectly received proceeds from and closes any kind of financing including through the issuance of any equity securities or indebtedness, the Investors may request prepayment of the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest in an amount of up to thirty percent (30%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company in such financing. The previous sentence shall not apply to any equity financing undertaken by the Company within six (6) months of the Original Issuance Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Notes, the Company may not prepay any portion of the principal of the Notes.

In addition, if the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a change of control of the Company, the Investors may require the Company to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, an amount equal to one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the sum of (x) the outstanding Principal of the Notes and (y) and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon.

Events of Default. The Notes are subject to customary events of default (each, an “Event of Default”), including, without limitation: (i) payment defaults; (ii) default in the performance by the Company of its obligations, or breach by the Company of its representations and warranties, under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the Warrants; (iii) failure by the Company to maintain the required minimum share reserve; (iv) default by the Company under other indebtedness of $200,000.00 or more; (v) where an Investor has sold Ordinary Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and the Company fails to instruct the transfer agent to remove any legends from the Ordinary Shares; (vi) bankruptcy, liquidation and similar matters of or concerning the Company or its subsidiaries; (vii) Company fails to comply in any material respect with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; (viii) delisting of the Ordinary Shares from a national exchange; (ix) consummation by the Company of a “going private” transaction; and (x) the Company or one of its subsidiaries enters into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

4

Voluntary Conversion. The Notes will be convertible, immediately upon issuance at the option of the holders, at a conversion price of (i) $30.00 per Ordinary Share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), or (ii) 92% of the lowest VWAP per Ordinary Share during the 10 trading days preceding the conversion (the “Variable Conversion Price”). The Variable Conversion Price shall have a floor of $2.50 per Ordinary Share (the “Floor Conversion Price”). The Fixed Conversion Price shall have a one-time reset on the 6-month anniversary following its closing date to the lower of (x) the initial Fixed Conversion Price, (y) the initial Variable Conversion Price, or (z) 130% of the daily VWAP per Ordinary Share on the trading day prior to the reset date. With the consent of the Investors, the Company may pay the interest on the Notes in the form of Ordinary Shares at the applicable conversion price then in effect. In addition, the conversion prices are subject to adjustment for anti-dilution protections.

Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Notes provide for adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price for, inter alia, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, rights offerings, pro rata distributions of assets, reclassifications of Ordinary Shares, exchanges of Ordinary Shares or substitutions of Ordinary Shares, dilutive issuances, certain option issuances and issuances of convertible securities.

Summary Terms of the Warrants

The Warrants will be exercisable, immediately upon issuance at the option of the holders, at an exercise price per Ordinary Share equal to initial Fixed Conversion Price for the Notes ($30.00 per Ordinary Share), subject to a one-time reset on the 6-month anniversary following the applicable closing date to 120% of the daily VWAP per Ordinary Share on the trading day prior to the reset date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Initial Closing Date, the Investors were issued the Initial Warrants to purchase up to 245,816 Ordinary Shares. The Warrants are exercisable via “cashless” exercise if, (as defined below) after the six-month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, there is not an effective Registration Statement (as defined below) covering resale of the Ordinary Share under the Warrants.

The Warrants provide for an adjustment of the exercise price for, inter alia, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, rights offerings, pro rata distributions of assets, dilutive issuances, certain option issuances and issuances of convertible securities, certain option issuances and issuances of convertible securities.

The Company shall cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after filing thereof but in no event later than the date that is 75 days following each of the Initial Closing Date, and the Second Tranche Closing Date, as applicable, if the Registration Statement is subject to review by the SEC.

The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(t)Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than the fee payable to the Placement Agent. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(t) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(u)Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

(v)Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(w) Registration Rights. Other than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiaries.

(x)Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Ordinary Shares under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are or have been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Ordinary Shares are currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

19

(y)Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Charter Documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities

(z)Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(aa)No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

20

(bb)Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of each Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from each Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $200,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $200,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. For avoidance of doubt, short-term intra-group advances, invoices and accrued liabilities among the Company and its Affiliates and incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business shall not be “Indebtedness” for purposes of any Transaction Documents. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

(cc)Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

(dd)No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

(ee)Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

(ii)Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities.

ARTICLE IV. 

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1Transfer Restrictions.

(a)The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b)The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a transfer would be subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 4.1. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.

26

(c)Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a Resale Registration Statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, when available (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) which cashless exercise, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be available only in the event that a Resale Registration Statement covering the resale of Underlying Shares is not available) (provided that a Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of Purchaser’s counsel) , or (iii) if such legend is not required (other than under Rule 144) under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). For the avoidance of doubt the Company shall pay all reasonable costs associated with such opinions and counsel to the Company shall provide all opinions with respect to any resales pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that counsel to the Company shall have been provided standard supporting certificates from the Company, the executing broker and the selling shareholder), and the Company shall provide confirmation to the transfer agent that all such opinions are acceptable. If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective Resale Registration Statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) and without volume or manner of sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including Sections 4(a)(1) or 4(a)(7), judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC including what is known as Section 4(a)(1½)) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. For avoidance of doubt, the Company agrees that after the requisite holding period to comply with Rule 144, the legend may be removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, assuming the holder satisfies the requirements of Rule 144. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by any Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate (or stock power if issued in book entry form) representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued without a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (or provide evidence of issuance in book entry form).  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to such Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s Principal Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend. Certificates for the Shares or Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to such Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser.

27

(d)In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five ) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend; provided that such Purchaser, in good faith, cooperates reasonably with, and takes such customary actions as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the delivery of such certificate without a legend, and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares, or a sale of a number of shares of Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Ordinary Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

(e)Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser 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, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

4.2Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute (other than those noted in the Transaction Documents) and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

28

The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such transaction-related press release nor otherwise make any such transaction-related public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any such transaction-related press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any such transaction-related press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, director, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.

31

Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the attorney’s fees and costs during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.11Reservation and Listing of Ordinary Shares.

(a)The Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(b)If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) Ordinary Shares is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s Charter Documents to increase the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 60th day after such date.

(c)The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of Ordinary Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Ordinary Shares to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Ordinary Shares on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.

4.12Participation in Future Financing.

(a)From the date hereof until the 12 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Purchasers shall have the right to participate in aggregate up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 30% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.

32

(b)At least eight Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

(c)Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time) on the fourth Trading Day after all of the Purchaser have received the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

(d)If by 5:30 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time) on the fourth Trading Day after the Purchaser has received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchaser of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

(e)If by 5:30 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time) on the fourth Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from a Purchaser seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on each Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on each Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.

(f)The Company must provide each Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and each Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

33

(g)The Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended to, exclude one or more of the Purchasers from participating in a Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, provisions whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by each Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to each Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that each Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the 10th Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such 10th Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by each Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and each Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

4.13Subsequent Issuances.

(a)From the date hereof until such time as neither Purchaser holds any of the Notes having a principal amount in excess of $250,000, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction (except for Exempt Issuances). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Ordinary Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” offering, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

34

(b)While any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not issue any equity option, warrant or similar instrument (except for securities issued in Exempt Issuances) which contains an “alternative cashless exercise” provision that provides for the exercise of such security without payment of the exercise price in cash and does not require the security to be “in the money,” and in the event of any such issuance in violation of this Section 4.13(b), in addition to the other rights and remedies provided under the Transaction Documents including without limitation the right to receive damages in connection therewith, any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude or nullify any such issuance.

4.14Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Notes in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes at any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at each Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (if any) and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

4.15  Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority of the principal amount of the Notes other than a reverse stock split that is required, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market.

4.16  Subsequent Registrations. If as result of an SEC Staff policy, rule or regulation or for any other reason, the Company is unable to register all of a Purchaser’s Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), then upon the earlier of (i) 30 days (or such earlier time as is permitted by the Staff of the SEC or any rule of the SEC) after any Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC, or (ii) when the registered but not issued Underlying shares fall below 50% of the amount covered by the effective Resale Registration Statement(s), the Company shall file another Resale Registration Statement including all of the remaining Registrable Securities of each Purchaser and comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

35

4.17Company Covenants.

(a)From the date hereof until such time as the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company shall maintain a minimum cash balance at United States, European or Swiss banks (which includes money market accounts at such banks) equal to at least $4,000,000. For as long as WISeKey International Holding AG owns at least 10% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, WISeKey International Holding AG cash balance shall be counted toward the Company’s cash balance for purposes of this Section 4.17(a). The Company shall provide the Purchasers on a monthly basis a letter from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer verifying compliance with this Section 4.17(a), including if and as applicable WISeKey International Holding AG’s ownership of the Ordinary Shares and cash balance, and such other information and documentation as any Purchaser may reasonably request.

(c)From the date hereof until such time as the Notes are no longer outstanding the Company: (i) shall not fail to continue to own all of the Company’s assets, except for routine transfers, use or depletion in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, and transfers for fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors; (ii) agrees not to create or grant to any person, any lien, security interest, encumbrance, cloud on title, mortgage, pledge or similar interest in any of the ordinary shares of the Company’s direct or indirect subsidiaries except for Permitted Liens as defined under the Notes, and (iii) will not enter into any agreement containing any provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Note or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

5.14Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

5.15Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

39

5.16Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

5.18Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

40

5.19Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.20  Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken, or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.21Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.22WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

SEALSQ CORP

Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note

Original Issuance Date: [l]	Principal: $[l]
Maturity Date: [l]	Loan Amount: $[l]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SEALSQ CORP, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Maker” or the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [l], a [l] (the “Holder”) the principal sum of $[l] (the “Principal”) pursuant to the terms of this Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”). In exchange for delivery of this Note on the Original Issuance Date referred to above, the Holder shall lend the Maker $[l] in United States dollars net of an original issuance discount of $[l].

Unless earlier converted pursuant to the terms of Article 3, the Maturity Date of this Note shall be 24 months from the Original Issuance Date of this Note which is specified above, unless the Holder has given notice to the Maker that it elects to accelerate the Maturity Date to the extent explicitly permitted by this Note (the “Maturity Date”), which such initial Maturity Date may be extended one time for an additional six months at the option of the Company by written notice to the Holder. The Maturity Date is the date upon which the Principal and other amounts shall be due and payable unless earlier due or prepaid or converted. This Note may not be repaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.

All payments under or pursuant to this Note shall be made in United States dollars in immediately available funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time- to-time in writing to the Maker or by wire transfer of funds to the Holder’s account designated in writing by the Holder to the Maker.

ARTICLE 1 

1.1Purchase Agreement. This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to, and is issued pursuant to, the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Original Issuance Date (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Maker and the Holder and other Purchasers (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, and is subject to, and incorporates, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement).

1.2Interest.

(a)Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Original Issuance Date at 4% per annum (the “Interest”), shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and four 90-day quarterly periods and shall be payable by the Company to the Holder as of the last day of the applicable quarterly period in cash, within three Trading Days of the end of each 90-day quarterly period quarter while this Note remains outstanding (each, a “Scheduled Interest Payment Date”). Upon the written consent of the Holder, the Interest may be paid by the Company in Ordinary Shares on the Scheduled Interest Payment Date at the Applicable Conversion Price. All accrued and unpaid Interest not otherwise paid on a Scheduled Interest Payment Date shall be due on the Maturity Date as set forth in Article 1 hereof.  Upon conversion of this Note (in whole or in part), any accrued Interest will be calculated off a 90-day period.

(b)From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Interest shall automatically be increased to lower of (i) 12% per annum or (ii) the highest amount permitted by applicable law (such interest upon an Event of Default shall be referred to as “Interest” or “Default Interest”), shall compound monthly, and shall be due and payable on the first Trading Day of each calendar month during the continuance of such Event of Default (a “Default Interest Payment Date”). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured (and no other Event of Default then exists (including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Default Interest Payment Date)), the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

1.3Prepayment. If following the Original Issuance Date while this Note is outstanding the Maker directly or indirectly receives proceeds from and closes any kind of financing including through the issuance of any equity securities or Indebtedness, the Maker shall give written notice to the Holder within one Trading Day, and the Holder within 10 Trading Days after receipt of such written notice may request a prepayment of Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (if any) in an amount of up to 30% of the gross proceeds received by the Maker in such financing (the “Holder Prepayment Right”). The Holder Prepayment Right shall not apply to any equity financing undertaken by the Company within six months of the Original Issuance Date. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Note, the Maker may not prepay any portion of the Principal.

2

1.4Payment on Non-Trading Days. Whenever any payment to be made on this Note shall be due on a day which is not a Trading Day, such payment may be due on the next succeeding Trading Day.

1.5Replacement. Upon receipt of a duly executed Affidavit of Loss and Indemnity Agreement in customary form from the Holder with respect to the loss, theft or destruction of this Note (or any replacement hereof), or, in the case of a mutilation of this Note, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Maker shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. The Holder shall not be required to post a bond or other security.

1.6Status of Note. The obligations of the Maker under this Note shall rank senior to all other existing Indebtedness and equity of the Company, other than (i) the amounts owing to the other Purchasers under the other Notes issued concurrently herewith to the other Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Other Notes” or “Notes”) and the Additional Note(s) when issued, and (ii) Permitted Indebtedness. The obligations of the Maker under this Note shall rank pari passu with (i) the amounts owing to the other Purchasers under the Other Notes and to the Holder and the other Purchasers under the Additional Notes and (ii) Permitted Indebtedness. Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), but subject in all cases to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder will be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any class of capital stock of the Maker, an amount equal to the outstanding Principal and Interest. For purposes of this Note, “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor’s relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Maker.

ARTICLE 2

2.1Events of Default. An “Event of Default” under this Note shall mean the following (unless the Event of Default is waived in writing by the Holder):

(a)Any default in the payment of the Principal, Interest or other sums payable hereunder when due under this Note or any Additional Note issued to the Holder when due (whether on the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise);

(b)Except as otherwise permitted in this Note, the Maker shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Note or any Transaction Document, including, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the issuance of any Indebtedness or the imposition of a Lien upon any of the assets of the Maker or any Subsidiary, except for Permitted Indebtedness or Permitted Liens, respectively, or (ii) any failure to timely file, obtain and maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement(s) upon the terms prescribed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that if the Resale Registration Statement is not declared effective by the required effective date due to factors outside the Maker’s control, including due to SEC delays, such failure to meet the required effective date shall not be considered an Event of Default under this Section 2.1;

3

(c)the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries shall (A) default in any payment of any amount or amounts of principal of or interest (if any) on $200,000 or more of any Indebtedness or (B) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity;

(d)the Maker’s notice to the Holder, including by way of public announcement at any time, of its inability to comply (including for any of the reasons described in Section 3.5(a) hereof) or its intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion of this Note into Ordinary Shares;

(e)at any time after the initial Resale Registration Statement is effective and subject to compliance with applicable law or if the Holder has sold Ordinary Shares pursuant to Rule 144, when available, but only to the extent of the number of shares sold, the failure of the Maker to instruct its Transfer Agent (as hereinafter defined) to remove any legends from the Ordinary Shares and issue such un-legended Ordinary Shares to the Holder within the Standard Settlement Period. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a Conversion Notice so long as the Holder has provided reasonable assurances to the Maker that such Ordinary Shares will be sold pursuant to Rule 144, once it is available, or any other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or if there is an effective Resale Registration Statement that may be used. For avoidance of doubt, as of the Original Issuance Date the Standard Settlement Period is two Trading Days;

(f)the Maker shall fail to timely deliver the Ordinary Shares as and when required in Section 3.2, provided that if such failure is beyond the reasonable control of the Maker, including due to DTC, registrar or transfer agent delays and the Maker has used its best efforts to timely deliver such Ordinary Shares, such failure to meet the required delivery date shall not be considered an Event of Default under this Section 2.1;

(g)at any time the Maker shall fail to have the Required Minimum of Ordinary Shares authorized, reserved and available for issuance to satisfy the potential conversion in full (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion) of this Note;

(h)any representation or warranty made by the Maker in the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Transaction Document shall prove to have been false or misleading or breached in a material respect on the date as of which made;

(i)the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries shall: (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property or assets; (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) commence a voluntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect) or under the comparable laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic); (iv) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (v) acquiesce in writing to any petition filed against it in an involuntary case under United States Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect) or under the comparable laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic); (vi) issue a notice of bankruptcy or winding down of its operations or issue a press release regarding same; or (vii) take any action under the laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) analogous to any of the foregoing;

4

(j)a proceeding or case shall be commenced in respect of the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries, without its application or consent, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking: (i) the liquidation, reorganization, moratorium, dissolution, winding up, or composition or readjustment of its debts; (ii) the appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets in connection with the liquidation or dissolution of the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) similar relief in respect of it under any law providing for the relief of debtors, and such proceeding or case described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in effect, for a period of ninety (90) days or any order for relief shall be entered in an involuntary case under United States Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect) or under the comparable laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) against the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries or action under the laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) analogous to any of the foregoing shall be taken with respect to the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries and shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) days;

(l)the Company fails to comply in any material respect with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (including but not limited to becoming delinquent in the filing of any report required to be filed under the Exchange Act except to the extent any extension permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) or ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. For avoidance of doubt, a failure to timely file an Exchange Act report shall be deemed to be a failure to comply in a material respect;

(m)the Company files a Form 6-K or other report with the SEC disclosing that it intends to restate any financial statements it previously filed with the SEC or it restates any financial statements it previously filed with the SEC, if following first public announcement or disclosure that a restatement will occur the VWAP on the next Trading Day is 20% less than the VWAP on the prior Trading Day. For the purposes of this Section 2.1(m) the next Trading Day if an announcement is made before 4:00 pm New York, N.Y. time is either the day of the announcement or the following Trading Day;

(n)the Maker’s Ordinary Shares ceases to be listed on the Trading Market or the Maker receives notice from its Trading Market of non-compliance with continued listing standard if not cured within sixty (60) days of receipt of notice, or the Maker fails to list the Underlying Shares on the Trading Market;

5

(o)after the six-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, any Ordinary Shares including Underlying Shares may not be immediately resold under Rule 144 without restriction on the number of shares to be sold or manner of sale (provided Holder is not deemed an “affiliate” of Maker), unless such Ordinary Shares have been registered for resale under the Securities Act and may be sold without restriction;

(p)the Maker consummates a “going private” transaction and as a result its Ordinary Shares are no longer registered under Sections 12(b) of the Exchange Act;

(q)there shall be any SEC stop order with respect to any Resale Registration Statement, a trading suspension by the SEC or the Trading Market of the Ordinary Shares, or any restriction in place with the Transfer Agent for the Ordinary Shares restricting the trading of such Ordinary Shares (other than a restriction pursuant to the holding period under Rule 144, provided that Rule 144 is available to the Company as a reporting issuer);

(r)the electronic transfer by the Company of Ordinary Shares through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation is no longer available or is subject to a “chill”;

(s)the Company replaces its Transfer Agent, and the Company fails to instruct the new Transfer Agent to provide prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed irrevocable transfer agent instructions (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve the Required Minimum) signed by the successor Transfer Agent and the Company; and

(t)the Company or a Subsidiary enters into a Variable Rate Transaction.

2.2Remedies Upon an Event of Default.

(a)  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been remedied within (i) three (3) Trading Days, provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for an Event of Default described in Section 2.1(f), 2.1(i) or 2.1(j), the Maker shall be obligated to pay to the Holder the Mandatory Default Amount, which Mandatory Default Amount shall be immediately due and payable to the Holder. In the event this Note shall be converted whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without cure, the Holder shall have the option to convert the Mandatory Default Amount at the Alternative Conversion Price. For this purpose, the Holder shall have the option to have the Alternative Conversion Price determined as of the date the Conversion Notice was given to the Maker, and such option shall continue such that the Holder may continue to use the Alternative Conversion Price during the Pricing Period.

(b)Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Maker shall, as promptly as possible but in any event within two Trading Days of the occurrence of such Event of Default, notify the Holder of the occurrence of such Event of Default, describing the event or factual situation giving rise to the Event of Default and specifying the relevant subsection or subsections of Section 2.1 hereof under which such Event of Default has occurred.

(c)Upon the failure of the Maker to cure an Event of Default within the time permitted by this Note (including the time periods set forth in 2.2(a)), or if the Event of Default is not capable of being cured, the remedies provided in this Note including the use of the Alternative Conversion Price shall continue and not be affected by any cure.

6

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 3.2(b) and (c) shall also apply upon any Events of Default relating to Conversion Shares in addition to the remedies under this Section 2.2.

(e)Any Event of Default hereunder may be waived upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Holder.

ARTICLE 3

3.1Conversion.

(a)Conversion. At any time after the Original Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part) at the option of the Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon that the Holder elects to convert (the “Conversion Amount”) by (y) the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers to the Maker a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in accordance with Section 5.1. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of the date of such conversion (each, a “Conversion Date”).

(b)Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” means the lesser of (i) $30.00 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (ii) 92% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice (the “Variable Conversion Price”) and shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. Provided, however, that if any Conversion Price under the foregoing definition results in a fractional amount, the fractional amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. For avoidance of doubt, all references in this Note to the Fixed Conversion Price or any other Conversion Price including the Alternative Conversion Price shall be construed to include adjustments as provided in this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without cure or the Company shall have failed to meet the Equity Conditions and while such failure is continuing, the Holder may convert this Note at the Alternative Conversion Price. The Fixed Conversion Price shall have a one-time reset at the 6-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date (the “Reset Date”) to the lower of the Conversion Price (with the Variable Conversion Price determined as if the Conversion Notice was delivered on the Reset Date) and 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the Trading Day immediately prior to the Reset Date. The Variable Conversion Price shall have an initial floor price equal to the Floor Price then in effect, subject to adjustment as provided herein. At any time the Company receives a Conversion Notice at a time the Conversion Price (or, as applicable, the Alternative Conversion Price) then in effect (the “Applicable Conversion Price”) (without regard to the Floor Price) is less than the Floor Price then in effect (unless such Floor Price is lowered with the written consent of the Company and the Holder, which may be an e-mail), the Company shall issue a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Amount divided by such Floor Price and pay the economic difference between the Applicable Conversion Price (without regard to the Floor Price) and such Floor Price in cash. For further clarification, the economic difference shall be equal to (A) the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been delivered using the Applicable Conversion Price, minus (B) the number of Ordinary Shares delivered using the Floor Price multiplied by (C) the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the Conversion Date ((A-B)*C).

7

(c)Voluntary Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the then current Fixed Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

3.2Delivery of Conversion Shares.

(a)As soon as practicable after any conversion or payment of any amount due hereunder in the form of Ordinary Shares in accordance with this Note, and in any event within the Standard Settlement Period thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct the number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion or payment (the “Conversion Shares”), in the applicable denominations based on the applicable conversion or payment, which Conversion Shares shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon any conversion of this Note in the name of the Holder, provided the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit such Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system (provided that the same time periods herein as for registration of Ordinary Shares shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). Failure of a designee of the Holder to accept the delivery of the Conversion Shares via the DWAC system shall not constitute a failure of the Maker to timely deliver Ordinary Shares. The Maker shall use best efforts to cause freely transferable Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Transfer Agent to the Holder’s broker at DTC by DWAC on the same Trading Day as the applicable Conversion Notice is received by the Transfer Agent, provided that (i) the applicable Conversion Notice is delivered to the Transfer Agent prior to 5:00PM NY time and (ii) the DTC FAST program is available.

(b)Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares, excluding an event generally considered force majeure in the United States and the British Virgin Islands causing a temporary delay in the delivery of Conversion Shares which is beyond the control of the Company; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (if any) hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 125% of the outstanding Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (if any) of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue the Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice.

8

(c)The Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Holder may by notice to the Company (in lieu of receiving such Conversion Shares subject to such Conversion Failure), require the Company to redeem, in cash, the Conversion Amount in such Conversion Failure at a redemption price equal to the Mandatory Default Amount with respect to such Conversion Amount in such Conversion Failure. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) Ordinary Shares corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two Trading Days after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such Ordinary Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Ordinary Shares) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder such Ordinary Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of Ordinary Shares multiplied by (y) the lowest closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares (or to electronically deliver such Ordinary Shares) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

9

(d)Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder, any Purchaser of the Additional Notes and/or any holders of Options or other Convertible Securities for the same Conversion Date and the Company can effect the conversion and exercise of some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes, Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for conversion and exercise, the Company, subject to this Section 3.2(d), shall (i) first effect the conversion of the entire Conversion Amount submitted for conversion on such date by the Holder and the Purchasers of the Additional Notes, if any, on a pro rata basis, and (ii) shall thereafter effect the exercise and conversion from each holder of Options or other Convertible Securities electing to have Options or other Convertible Securities exercised or converted on such date (other than the Notes) a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for exercise or conversion based on the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of all Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for exercise or conversion on such date (not including the Notes and the Additional Notes).

(e)Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e)(i). 

10

For purposes of this Section 3.2(e)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3.2(e)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail 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 Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported.  In the event that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the 61^st day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 3.2(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3.2(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.2(e) to the extent necessary to correct any provision which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e) may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

3.3Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price.

(a)Until this Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time-to-time, and the Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment solely as to Section 3.3(a) (but in either case shall not be increased, other than pursuant to a stock combination) as follows:

(i)Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits and Stock Combinations. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Fixed 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 immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(i) 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. If at any time and from time-to-time on or after the Original Issuance Date the Maker effects any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to the outstanding Ordinary Shares, and the Event Market Price (as defined below) is less than the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in this Section 3.3(a)(i) above), then on the fifth Trading Day immediately following such event, the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect on such fifth Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 3.3(a)(i) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Fixed Conversion Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made. “Event Market Price” means, with respect to any split, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for each of the five Trading Days following such split divided by (y) five. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period.

12

(ii)Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(i) above (but not in duplication thereof), if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then , an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price (and any other applicable provision) shall be made so that the Holder of this Note shall, upon conversion, receive a number of Ordinary Shares (in addition to the Ordinary Shares deriving from Note conversion) that the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted this Note (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 Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, 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 Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(iii)Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise, other than cash (including, without limitation, any distribution of stock 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 Note, then, in each such case, , an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price (and any other applicable provision) shall be made so that the Holder of this Note shall, upon conversion, receive a number of Ordinary Shares (in addition to the Ordinary Shares deriving from Note conversion) that the Holder would have received to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (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 Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, 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 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).

(iv)Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Ordinary Shares at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class or classes of stock or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of an event or transaction provided for in Sections 3.3(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Fixed Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

13

(v)Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.

(1)Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Issuance of Ordinary Shares. If and whenever on or after the Original Issuance Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.3(a)(v) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares (including the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance (other than clause (c) of the definition of Exempt Issuance in the Purchase Agreement which shall not be deemed to be an Exempt Issuance for purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “Dilutive Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Fixed Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to the lower of (i) an amount equal to the Dilutive Issuance Price, or (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day following the first public disclosure of the Dilutive Issuance (other than clause (c) of the definition of Exempt Issuance in the Purchase Agreement which shall not be deemed to be an Exempt Issuance for purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v)). For the purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v), the next Trading Day if an announcement is made before 4:00 p.m. New York, N.Y. time is either the day of the announcement or the following Trading Day. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Fixed Conversion Price and the Dilutive Issuance Price under this Section 3.3(a)(v)), the following shall be applicable:

(2)Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any options or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities (“Options”) (other than pursuant to any Exempt Issuance) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share, excluding any transactions involving an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v) the aggregate consideration per share of Ordinary Shares with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Ordinary Shares upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Ordinary Shares is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Ordinary Shares or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

14

(3)Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than pursuant to any Exempt Issuance) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Ordinary Shares upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Ordinary Shares is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3.3(a)(v), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

(4)Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options (other than pursuant to any Exempt Issuance), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in connection with an event referred to Section 3.3(a)(i) above), the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such decrease shall be adjusted to the Fixed Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such decreased purchase price, additional consideration or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Ordinary Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect.

15

(5)Intentionally omitted.

(6)Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be); provided, however, that, if the Company shall at any time set a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities and (A) such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made, or the subscription rights are not fully granted, on the date fixed therefor, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions or the effectiveness of such subscription rights or (B) the Company shall subsequently rescind or otherwise cancel or determine not to make such dividend or distribution or to grant such subscription rights, then any adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price made pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v) with respect to the fixing of such record date shall be reversed and of no further force or effect as of the date of the Company’s public announcement that it is rescinding or otherwise canceling or determining not making such dividend or distribution or the grant of such subscription rights.

(b)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of an Ordinary Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Ordinary Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of an Ordinary Share down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share. If any adjustments to the Fixed or Variable Conversion Price under this Section 3.3 result in a fractional amount, the fractional amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

16

(c)No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless an injunction from a court on prior notice, enjoining conversion of this Note shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to 150% of the Principal of the Note which the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment, provided, however, the Maker can refuse conversion of this Note if such conversion would clearly be in violation of applicable law.

(d)Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price or number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount.

(e)Issuance Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issuance and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Ordinary Shares on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

(f)Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Maker shall at all times while this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares the Required Minimum of Ordinary Shares (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion). The Maker shall, from time-to-time, increase the authorized number of Ordinary Shares or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section 3.3(f).

17

(g)Regulatory Compliance. If any Ordinary Shares to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note requires registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, national securities exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be, subject in each case to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

3.4Rights Upon Fundamental Transaction.

(a)Assumption.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Person (which may be the Company) formed by, resulting from or surviving any Fundamental Transaction or the Person with which such Fundamental Transaction shall have been entered into (the “Successor Entity”) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for the Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Note, including, without limitation, having Principal and Interest equal to the Principal then outstanding and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (if any) of the Note held by the Holder, having similar conversion rights as the Note and having similar ranking and security to the Note, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its parent entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose Ordinary Shares is quoted on or listed for trading on any eligible market, including The Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE American LLC, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 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 Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” or the “Maker” 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 Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded Ordinary Shares (or their 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 Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE WARRANT

SEALSQ CORP

	Exercise Price: $[l]
Warrant Shares: [l]	Initial Exercise Date: [l]

THIS ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [l], or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, to subscribe for and purchase from SEALSQ Corp, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”), [l] shares of Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter.

The purchase price of one Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated July 11, 2023, between the Company and the Holder.

1

Section 2.Exercise.

(a)Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or .pdf electronic copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of or with respect to any Notice of Exercise be required. Within the earlier of (i) two Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid or (ii) the Standard Settlement Period, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. In the event that the Holder is required to make any payments to the Company’s stock transfer agent in connection with its exercise of this Warrant resulting from any failure of the Company to pay the transfer agent, the Holder may deduct such sums it pays the transfer agent from the total Exercise Price due. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within two Trading Days of delivery of such notice. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(b)Exercise Price. The initial exercise price per share of the Warrant Shares under this Warrant shall be equal $30.00 per share subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price shall have a one-time reset at the 6-month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Reset Date”) to the lower of the initial Exercise Price and 120% of the daily VWAP on the Trading Day prior to the Reset Date. For avoidance of doubt, this reset of the Exercise Price shall apply notwithstanding any prior adjustments of the Exercise Price pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions hereof.

(c)Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at the Holder’s election, in whole or in part and in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number obtained by dividing [(A x B) – (A x C)] by (D), where:

(A)   = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise;

2

(B)   = the greater of (i) the arithmetic average of the VWAPs (as defined in the Notes or Additional Notes, as applicable) for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date on which the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise or (ii) the VWAP for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Holder makes such “cashless exercise” election;

(C)   = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder, at the time of such exercise; and

(D)   = the lesser of (i) the arithmetic average of the VWAPs for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date on which the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise or (ii) the VWAP for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Holder makes such “cashless exercise” election.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”), the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

For avoidance of doubt, the phrase “effective Registration Statement” means (i) a registration statement covering the sale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC, has not been withdrawn and is not subject to a stop order issued by the SEC, and (ii) the Prospectus contained in such registration statement complies with Sections 5(b) and 10 of the Securities Act.

(d)Mechanics of Exercise.

(i)Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted to the Holder by the Transfer Agent by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and (A) there is an effective Registration Statement covering the sale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and Rule 144 under the Securities Act is available or otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two Trading Days after the later of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (unless by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company in full of the Exercise Price (unless by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant (except if the delayed issuance is as result of events or circumstances beyond the control of the Company) the proportionate amount of $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading Day after the fifth Trading Day) after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $1,000 of the value of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised (based on the Exercise Price) which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payment incurred under this Section 2(d)(i) in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company or the date the Warrant Shares are delivered to the Holder, whichever date is earlier. Failure of a designee of the Holder to accept the delivery of the Warrant Shares via the DWAC system shall not constitute a failure of the Company to timely deliver the Warrant Shares.

3

(ii)Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall not require the Holder to surrender this Warrant as a condition of exercise. If the Holder requests a new Warrant it shall surrender this Warrant, and the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(iii)Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to deliver the Warrant Shares or cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, at any time prior to issuance of such Warrant Shares, to rescind such exercise.

(iv)Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver the Warrant Shares, or cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon written request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

4

(v)No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole Warrant Share.

(vi)Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares 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 certificate including any charges (limited to $100 per issuance) of any clearing firm, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

(e)Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Note) collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Ordinary Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other Warrants issued under the Purchase Agreement) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f)(i). For purposes of this Section 1(f)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares.

5

For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of the Purchase Agreement Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 2(e) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

6

Section 3.Certain Adjustments.

(a)Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares 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 3(a) 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.

(b)Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above (but not in duplication thereof), if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then and in each such event, an appropriate revision to the Exercise Price (and any other applicable provision) shall be made so that the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of 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 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 Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, 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 Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

7

(c)Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise, other than cash (including, without limitation, any distribution of stock 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 appropriate revisions to the Exercise Price (and any other applicable provisions) shall be made so that the Holder shall, at exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to participate in the benefit of such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of 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 Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, 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 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).

(d)Subsequent Equity Sales. If and whenever, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, announces any offer, sale, or other disposition of, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued, sold or granted (or makes an announcement regarding the same), any Ordinary Shares and/or Ordinary Share Equivalents (including the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold solely in connection with an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, (1) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to higher of (x) 120% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the day of pricing of such sale or (y) the New Issuance Price and (2) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment (subject to adjustment as provided herein). For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 3(d)), the following shall be applicable:

8

(i)Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner (other than in an Exempt issuance) grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options (as defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option (as defined below) for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Ordinary Share upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option (as defined below) for which one Ordinary Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (as defined below) (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares or of such Ordinary Share Equivalents upon the exercise of such Options (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents. “Option” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities. “Convertible Securities” means any shares or other security (other than Options) that is at any time and under any circumstances, directly or indirectly, convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any Ordinary Shares.

(ii)Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner (other than in an Exempt Issuance) issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Ordinary Share Equivalents and the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Ordinary Share Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Ordinary Share upon the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Share Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Ordinary Share Equivalents for which one Ordinary Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Ordinary Share Equivalents (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Ordinary Share Equivalents plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Ordinary Share Equivalents (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Ordinary Share Equivalents is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(d), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

9

(iii)Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents, or the rate at which any Ordinary Share Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a)), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Ordinary Share Equivalents that was outstanding as of the date this Warrant was issued are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Ordinary Share Equivalents and the Ordinary Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

(iv)Intentionally omitted.

(v)Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or in Ordinary Share Equivalents or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

(e)Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company enters into a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of common equity of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Ordinary Shares in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares 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 with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such 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 and the other Transaction Documents 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 and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

10

(f)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(g)Notice to Holder.

(i)Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii)Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below), at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

11

Section 4.Transfer of Warrant.

(a)Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the provisions of the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b)New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

12

(c)Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5.Miscellaneous.

(a)No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof other than as explicitly set forth in Section 3.

(b)Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate. In no event shall the Holder be required to post a bond or other security.

(c)Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

(d)Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will comply with Section 4.11(a) of the Purchase Agreement with respect to reserving the Warrant Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any Trading Market upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

13

In addition to any other remedies provided by this Warrant or the Agreement, if the Company at any time fails to meet this reservation of Ordinary Shares requirement within 45 days after written notice from the Holder, it shall pay the Holder as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty a sum equal to $250 per day for each $100,000 of such Holder’s Subscription Amount (or the Subscription Amount of the original Purchaser). The Company shall not enter into any agreement or file any amendment to its Charter Documents which conflicts with this Section 5(d) while the Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and Warrants remain outstanding; provided, that nothing shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the Company from amending its Charter Documents in connection with the Corporate Reorganization.

Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its Certificate of Incorporation (or charter) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

(e)Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.

(f)Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered or if not exercised on a cashless basis when Rule 144 is available, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

(g)Non-waiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the other Transaction Documents, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(h)Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Agreement.

14

(i)Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j)Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate or that there is no irreparable harm and not to require the posting of a bond or other security.

(k)Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any Holder from time to time of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares.

(l)Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(m)Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(n)Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

If the Company fails to defend the Investor, its Affiliates, and its respective Representatives, successors and assigns, as applicable, as required by Section 6(c) herein, it shall reimburse (after receipt of appropriate documentation) each Investor, its Affiliates, and its respective Representatives, successors and assigns for any reasonable and documented legal or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to an Investor, its Affiliates, or its respective Representatives, successors or assigns in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said Registration Statement, said preliminary prospectus, said prospectus, or said amendment or supplement or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor, its Affiliates, or its respective Representatives, successors or assigns specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

6

(b)In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Investor shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signs such Registration Statement, the Company’s attorneys and auditors and any Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability that arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission from such Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if and to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor specifically for use in the preparation of such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 6(a) or (b), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action. The indemnifying party shall be relieved of its obligations under this Section 6(c) if and to the extent that the indemnified party delays in giving notice and the indemnifying party is damaged or prejudiced by the delay. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so as to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that, if counsel for an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel (including local counsel, if applicable) retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6. Provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnification by an Investor under this Section 6 exceed the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities received by such Investor. No indemnified party shall make any settlement of any claims indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that any indemnifying party enters into any settlement without the written consent of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release of such indemnified party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

7

(d)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6; then, in each such case, the Company and each such Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Investor in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, it being understood that the parties acknowledge that the overriding equitable consideration to be given effect in connection with this provision is the ability of one party or the other to correct the statement or omission (or avoid the conduct or take an act) which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were to be determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into consideration the foregoing equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no such Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to it of all Registrable Securities sold by it pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (ii) no Person who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.Rule 144. As long as an Investor holds restricted securities (as that term is used in Rule 144) or has the right to acquire restricted Conversion Shares or restricted Warrant Shares, the Company covenants that it will (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times, (ii) file in a timely manner the reports and other documents required to be filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, (iii) furnish to each Investor promptly upon request (x) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the SEC, and (z) such other information as an Investor may reasonably request, and (iv) cooperate with each Investor and respond as promptly as possible to any requests from such Investor in connection with Rule 144 transfers of restricted securities, in each case to enable such Investor to sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC (collectively, “Rule 144”); provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from consummating a transaction in which another entity acquires it through a merger or similar transaction.

8.Severability. In the event any parts of this Agreement are found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the illegal, unenforceable or void parts were deleted.

SEALSQ Announces Closing of an Initial $10.0 Million Tranche of a Private Placement of Convertible Notes and Warrants

Tortola, British Virgin Islands – July 12, 2023: SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that it has closed an initial $10.0 million tranche of a total possible $20.0 million private placement pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement, dated July 11, 2023, with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”).

The investment is in the form of a Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”), resulting in proceeds before expenses to SEALSQ of approximately $9.6 million. The Note has a 24-month maturity and will bear interest at 4% per annum (subject to adjustment). In addition, the Note will be convertible into ordinary shares of SEALSQ at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of $30.00 per ordinary share or 92.5% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the notice of conversion of the Note, subject to adjustment as further specified in the Note. The Note will be fully repayable in cash upon maturity. In addition, the Investors have the option of prepayment of up to 30% of the issuance amount of a subsequent financing.

As part of the investment, the Investors were also granted five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 245,816 ordinary shares at an initial exercise price equal to $30.00 per ordinary share, subject to adjustment.

Maxim Group LLC is acting as sole placement agent for the private placement.

SEALSQ has agreed to file a registration statement registering for the resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note and upon the exercise of the warrants. Subject to the mutual consent of the parties, upon the effectiveness of the resale registration statement, and subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, a second tranche of funding may be provided by the Investors in the principal amount of up to $10.0 million, less a 4% original issue discount. Such additional principal amounts, if funded, will be added to the principal amount of the Note, and the Investors will be entitled to receive an additional warrant (carrying the same terms as the initial warrant) to purchase ordinary shares equal to 30% of the face value of the Notes divided by the volume weighted average price.

SEALSQ plans to use the net proceeds from this financing to fund:

- Expansion of U.S. operations by hiring top-tier talent and increase sales force to better serve the growing U.S. customer base.

- Enhancement of production facilities in the U.S. and France by investing in advanced manufacturing and testing equipment aiming to improve efficiency and reduce semiconductors production localization risks.

- Additional investments towards the development of a new generation of quantum-ready semiconductors designed to meet the computing demands of the future and offer superior processing power and energy efficiency.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ noted, “Over the years, we have made significant investments in researching and developing cutting-edge quantum-ready semiconductors and we have been at the forefront of the global innovation by providing solutions that can be used in a variety of applications and industries including smart cities, smart homes, IT infrastructure, finance, healthcare, etc. With this new funding, we are now ready to embark on a new phase of growth and innovation and prepare for a future in which quantum computing is expected to play a vital role for the global economy. With a quantum computing market which is projected to reach $65 billion by 2030, quantum-ready semiconductors are expected to make up a significant portion of that market."

The general consensus among industry experts is that quantum computing, and by extension quantum semiconductors, will be a major growth area over the next decade. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many industries, including finance, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and more, by solving complex problems much more efficiently than traditional computers.

About SEALSQ:

SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control Systems.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks.
