3. Adjustment of Warrant Share Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
The Warrant Share Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Share Exercise Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, for a total amount of the Consideration, the number of shares obtained by dividing the Consideration by the Warrant Share Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment(s).
3.1 Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. In case the Company shall at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired split or subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a greater number of shares of the same class, the Warrant Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such split or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding Preferred Shares of the Company, which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
3.2 Reclassification, etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired by reclassification of the share capital of the Company or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, or other assets or property, then, as a condition of such reclassification, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Preferred Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such number and kind of shares, securities or other assets or property, as may be issued or payable as the result of such change with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of such Preferred Shares equal to the number of shares purchasable and receivable under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Warrant Share Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 3. In any reclassification described above, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Warrant Share Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.2, upon any conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares which is the subject of Section 3.3.
5
3.3 Conversion or Redemption of Preferred Shares. Should all or any class of the Company’s Preferred Shares be, or if outstanding would be, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant or any portion thereof, redeemed or converted into the Company’s Shares in accordance with applicable article of the Articles of the Company, then, in the sole discretion of the Holder, this Warrant shall become immediately exercisable prior to such event for that number of the Company’s Shares equal to the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Warrant Shares received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to such event, and the Warrant Share Exercise Price shall immediately be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Consideration of the maximum number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such conversion or redemption, by (y) the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such conversion or redemption. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Articles” shall mean the Articles of Association of the Company as amended and/or restated and effective immediately prior to the redemption or conversion of all of the Company’s Preferred Shares.
3.4 Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Warrant Share Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 3. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the then Company’s Board of Directors on a fair and reasonable basis. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the then Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

3.5 Dilutive Issuance. In the event of an issuance of New Securities (as defined in the Memorandum and Articles), at any time after the Series F Issue Date (as defined in the Memorandum and Articles) and prior to the consummation of an IPO of the Company, for a consideration per share received by the Company (net of any selling concessions, discounts or commissions) (the “New Securities Price”) less than the Warrant Share Exercise Price with respect to any Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Warrant Share Exercise Price with respect to such Warrant Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the New Securities Price. In the event that the offer price of an IPO of the Company is less than the Warrant Share Exercise Price, the Warrant Share Exercise Price hereunder shall be reduced to the offer price of the IPO concurrently with the confirmation of the IPO offer price. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.5 shall automatically terminate upon the consummation of an IPO of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder shall be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments in the number of Warrant Shares of the Company issuable upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant that all the other Series F Investors might have on a pro rata basis prior to the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant.
