Entry into Material Definitive Agreements

Share Exchange Agreement

On December 28, 2025, Earlyworks Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), a joint-stock corporation organized under the laws of Japan, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Perpetual Markets Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Cyprus (“Perpetual”), and the shareholders of Perpetual listed therein (collectively, the “Perpetual Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), the Perpetual Shareholders will transfer to the Company all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Perpetual, representing 100% ownership of Perpetual, in exchange for a combination of equity consideration in the form of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) and preferred shares (the “Series P PreferredShares”) of the Company, together with cash consideration, as further described in the Share Exchange Agreement (the “ShareExchange”). Upon completion of the Closing, Perpetual is expected to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Share Exchange Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, at the Closing, the aggregate consideration to be issued to the Perpetual Shareholders will consist of a combination of equity consideration and cash consideration (collectively, the “Share Exchange Consideration”). The equity portion of the Share Exchange Consideration will include (i) the issuance to the Perpetual Shareholders of ADSs of the Company, with each ADS representing five ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), in an amount equal to 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ADSs as of the Closing and (ii) the issuance of 53,051,000 Series P Preferred Shares of the Company, which, if and as converted into Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, would be equivalent to 10,610,200 ADSs, subject to receipt of the required shareholder approval to provide such conversion and voting rights. The issuance of the ADSs and Series P Preferred Shares pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement is intended to be effected in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including Section 4(a)(2), Regulation D, and Regulation S thereunder, as applicable.

In addition to the equity consideration, the total cash consideration payable to the Perpetual Shareholders is US$15.0 million, US$3.5 million of which is payable in cash at the Closing (the “Upfront Cash Consideration”), with the remaining US$11.5 million to be satisfied (i) through the allocation of certain cash proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of certain outstanding warrants, up to an aggregate cap of US$7.5 million (the “Financing Warrants Consideration”) and (ii) the proceeds of a future capital raise completed by the Company following the Closing (the “Capital Raise Consideration,” and together with the Financing Warrants Consideration, the “Deferred Cash Consideration”). The timing, structure, and other terms of the Capital Raise Consideration are subject to further agreement between the parties and the satisfaction of specified conditions set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Share Exchange by the Company’s shareholders.

MTF Company Put and Call Options

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, Perpetual, and Perpetual Shareholders agreed to a reciprocal put and call option arrangement relating to a potential future acquisition of an entity that operates a multilateral trading facility licensed in Europe under the MiFID II regulatory framework (the “MTFCompany”). Following the Closing, the Perpetual Shareholders will have the right, through a one-year period following the Closing, to require the Company to acquire an MTF Company meeting characteristics specified in the Share Exchange Agreement, subject to five (5) business days’ notice and the Company’s acceptance (the “MTF Put”). Similarly, the Company will have the right to require the Perpetual Shareholders to transfer an MTF Company to the Company beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing, subject in certain cases to the consent of the Perpetual Shareholders (the “MTF Call”, and together with the MTF Put, the “MTF Option”).

Any exercise of the MTF Option, and any resulting transfer of an MTF Company, is subject to the receipt of all required governmental, regulatory, and self-regulatory approvals, including approvals from applicable market operators and financial regulatory authorities. Until such approvals are obtained, the consummation of any transfer of an MTF Company will be suspended, and neither party will be obligated to complete any transaction contemplated thereby. The Company and the Perpetual Shareholders have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to prepare and submit all required regulatory filings and to obtain such regulatory approval as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing.

The Company and the Perpetual Shareholders further agreed that the MTF Option is part of the overall consideration for the Share Exchange and that, upon an exercise of the MTF Option, the transfer and subsequent acquisition of the MTF Company would be effected for a nominal cash exercise price of US$1,000.00.

The description of the Share Exchange Agreement contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.

Warrant Grant and Warrant Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to enter into a warrant purchase agreement (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”) with Sigma9 Capital Ltd. (“Sigma9”) pursuant to which the Company will issue to Sigma9 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 ADSs of the Company (the “Sigma9 Warrants”). Each Sigma9 Warrant will be exercisable for one ADS of the Company at an exercise price of US$5.00 per ADS, will have a term of three years from the date of grant, and will include customary anti-dilution and adjustment provisions. The issuance of the Sigma9 Warrants is expected to occur contemporaneously with the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. The Sigma9 Warrant grant is conditioned on the consummation of the Share Exchange, and if the Share Exchange is not completed, the Warrant Purchase Agreement will not become effective, and no Sigma9 Warrants will be issued.

The description of the Sigma9 Warrant and Warrant Purchase Agreement contained herein are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Sigma9 Warrant and Warrant Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this Report on Form 6-K.

Corporate Governance

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will enter into a shareholders agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with the former Perpetual Shareholders that outlines certain post-Closing governance arrangements.

Following shareholder approval of the Share Exchange, the current chief executive officer of Perpetual (or such individual’s designee) is expected to be appointed as a co-chief executive officer of the Company (the “Co-CEO Right”) and as a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with such appointments to become effective at or following the next duly convened meeting of the Company’s shareholders. Such appointment is subject to continued satisfaction of applicable ownership thresholds and corporate governance requirements. The Co-CEO Right remains effective so long as the former Perpetual Shareholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Company’s equity held by them as of the date of the Shareholders Agreement.

In addition, certain former shareholders of Perpetual will have the right to designate an individual for nomination and election to the Company’s Board, subject to applicable law, shareholder approval, and Nasdaq listing standards, including independence requirements, with one such designee expected to serve as chair of the Company’s compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”).

The Shareholders Agreement also contemplates the establishment of a profit-based incentive pool for the Company’s management team equal to 10% of the Company’s consolidated net profits following the Closing (the “Incentive Pool”). The Incentive Pool is to be administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents. Additionally, the Incentive Pool is in addition to any equity-based or other long-term incentive compensation arrangements that may be adopted by the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

Under the Shareholders Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company, including the former shareholders of Perpetual, have agreed to take all actions within their control, including voting their shares, to effectuate the governance arrangements contemplated by the Share Exchange and the Shareholders Agreement. These arrangements include voting in favor of the election and appointment of designated directors, subject to the Company’s governing documents, and the relevant Nasdaq listing standards.

The Shareholders Agreement will remain in effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of the Shareholders Agreement, (ii) the date on which the Company and the former Perpetual Shareholders who, in the aggregate, beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s equity as of the date of the Shareholders Agreement mutually agree in writing to terminate the Shareholders Agreement, and (iii) the date on which both (a) at least two years have elapsed since the date of the Shareholders Agreement and (b) such former Perpetual Shareholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 10% of the Company’s equity as of the date of the Shareholders Agreement.

The description of the Shareholders Agreement contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report on Form 6-K.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Share Exchange and the Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Sigma9 (the “RegistrationRights Agreement”) pursuant to which, the Company has agreed to register for resale the ADSs and Ordinary Shares of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Sigma9 Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file an initial registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within thirty (30) days following the Closing to register the resale of the Registrable Securities. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective expeditiously and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the Registrable Securities remain outstanding, subject to applicable SEC rules, regulations, and limitations. The description of the Registration Rights Agreement contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.

The terms, timing, and other details of both the Deferred Cash Consideration and the Capital Raise Payment shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties and set forth in one or more definitive written agreements at a later date, provided that (A) neither the Deferred Cash Consideration nor the Capital Raise Payment shall constitute an obligation of any party to complete such payment or transaction in the future, however, either party shall remain liable to the extent its intentional or bad-faith actions directly cause either payment to not be completed; and (B) neither the Deferred Cash Consideration nor the Capital Raise Payment shall be due to the Shareholders until such time as Acquiree Company provides the Required Financial Statements as required by Section 7.12.

The Put Option shall be exercisable at any time from and after the Closing Date through and including the first anniversary thereof, subject to written notice of such exercise being provided to the Acquiror Company not later than 10 days before the Put Option is exercised. Notwithstanding the grant of this Put Option and any noticed exercise thereof, the Acquiror Company reserves the right to withhold, delay, deny, or condition its acceptance of any such exercise, provided, however, that, following the receipt of Regulatory Approval (as defined below), such acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned, except as required by applicable law or regulation, which reserved right shall expire within five (5) Business Days of such noticed exercise (the “Put Exercise Expiry Date”). If the Acquiror Company does not deliver written notice of its acceptance or lawful refusal prior to Put Exercise Expiry Date, then, following receipt of Regulatory Approval, acceptance of the MTF Company shall be deemed given.

The Shareholders hereby grant to the Acquiror Company the right to “call” from the Shareholders an entity with the characteristics substantially similar to the characteristics of an MTF Company (a “Call Option”). The Call Option shall be exercisable at the first anniversary of the Closing, but subject to the consent of the Shareholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned, the Call Option may be exercised at a sooner date. Notwithstanding the grant of this Call Option and any noticed exercise thereof, the Acquiror Company reserves the right to withhold, delay, deny, or condition its acceptance of the MTF Company proffered by the Shareholders upon any such exercise, provided, however, that, following the receipt of Regulatory Approval, such acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned, except as required by applicable law or regulation, which reserved right shall expire within five (5) Business Days of such noticed exercise (the “Call Exercise Expiry Date”). If the Acquiror Company does not deliver written notice of its acceptance or lawful refusal prior to Call Exercise Expiry Date, then, following receipt of Regulatory Approval, acceptance of the MTF Company shall be deemed given.

The parties agree that the grant of the Put Option and of the Call Option is material to, and the consideration therefor (on an as-exercised basis, but for a nominal exercise payment) is included in the consideration set forth in Section 2.1 herein. Accordingly, the exercise price for either the Put Option or the Call Option is US $1,000, which payment shall be tendered by the Acquiror Company to the Shareholders not later than five (5) Business Days after the Put Exercise Expiry Date or the Call Exercise Expiry Date, as relevant, subject to the acceptance of the MTF Company by the Acquiror Company.

The Parties acknowledge that the consummation of any transfer of equity interests in the MTF Entity pursuant to the Put Option or the Call Option (the “MTF Transfer”) is subject to the receipt of all required governmental, regulatory, and self-regulatory approvals, including without limitation approval of the applicable market operator and financial regulatory authority (collectively, the “Regulatory Approval”). Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and submit all filings and applications necessary to obtain the Regulatory Approval as soon as reasonably practicable within each such Party’s reasonable business judgment following the Closing (the “Filing Deadline”). The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Regulatory Approval to be obtained as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (the “Regulatory Approval Deadline”).

For the avoidance of doubt and in connection with the Shareholders’ obligations under Section 7.9, unless and until Regulatory Approval has been obtained, no Party shall be obligated of permitted to consummate the MTF Transfer, and all rights and obligations relating thereto shall remain suspended.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the exercise price of the Warrant must be received on the same day as, or no later than the day following, the date of the Notice of Exercise, according to the Japanese laws.

As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the ADSs as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the timing of delivery of the Warrant ADSs shall be subject to Japanese laws, regulations, and the customary procedures, reviews, confirmations and settlement practices of financial institutions, stock transfer agents, and the Depositary, and any delays arising therefrom shall not constitute a breach of this Warrant or give rise to any right of rescission or other remedy by the Holder.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant ADSs, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant ADSs called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Depositary to transmit to the Holder the Warrant ADSs pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in respect of the untransmitted Warrant ADSs (with the effect that the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant ADSs pursuant to this Warrant shall be restored) and the Company shall return to the Holder the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant ADSs.

iv. Reserved.

v. No Fractional Shares or Warrant ADSs. No fractional Warrant Shares or Warrant ADSs shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of an ADS which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, 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 ADS; provided, however, the fraction of an ADS shall not be rounded up to the next whole ADS if such rounding results in the issue price being lower than the par value of the ADS.

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant ADSs shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant ADSs, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant ADSs shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant ADSs are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares underlying Warrant ADSs which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 20-F, Report on Form 6-K or other public filings filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Depositary setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61^st^day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

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

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of ADSs or Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of ADSs are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such ADSs or Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and 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).

d) Payments to be made to Holder in the event of a Distribution. 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 or ADSs, by way of return of capital or otherwise, other than cash (including, without limitation, any distribution of shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a payment (“Payment”) equal to the amount that the Holder would have received by way of a Distribution if the Holder had held the number of ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date 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 or ADSs are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to receive such a payment would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to receive said Payment (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the amount of the Payment due 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).

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant ADSs 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 Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant ADSs issuable pursuant thereto.

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 Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends, or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. In no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

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 ADSs, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), 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.

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 Business Day, then such action may be taken, or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

d) Authorized Shares.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, its directors will have authority to allot a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the Warrant Shares needed for the Depositary to issue the necessary Warrant ADSs 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 and Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the applicable Trading Market upon which the ADSs and Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary 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 ADSs in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than any transfer restrictions and taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of association 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 ADSs 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 ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable 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.

Before taking any action, which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant ADSs for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant ADSs acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver 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, 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 and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 5-7-11, Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan 110-0005, Attention: Chief Executive Officer and Representative Director, email address: [ ], or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K.

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant ADSs, 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 ADSs or Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder 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.

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 the Holder or holder of Warrant ADSs.

l) Reserved.

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

n) 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.

o) 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.

p) Release of Liability. The Holder shall accept any delays to any deadline set forth in this document, provided such delays are due to procedures or waiting periods required by Japanese laws, including, but not limited to the Japanese Companies Act and the Japanese Commercial Registration Act, or are due to business day(s) of financial institution or the Depository Trust Company in Japan. In such case, the Company shall not be liable for the delay.

The Purchaser understands that the Warrant and, as applicable, the Warrant Shares and the Warrant ADSs, are being offered and sold to it in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws under Regulation S of the Securities Act and, to the extent applicable, Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire this Warrant and, as applicable, the Warrant Shares or the Warrant ADSs. In this regard, if the Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, the Purchaser represents, warrants, and agrees that:

1.	The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person and is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) of the Company and<br>is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. A “U.S. Person” means any one of the following:

The Purchaser does not have any such intention.
---	---
4.	The Purchaser will not, during the period commencing on the date of grant of the Warrant or the issuance of the Warrant Shares or<br>the Warrant ADSs, as applicable and ending on the first anniversary of such date, or such shorter period as may be permitted by Regulation<br>S or other applicable securities law (the “Restricted Period”), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any<br>of such securities in the United States of America, or to a U.S. Person for the account or for the benefit of a U.S. Person, or otherwise<br>in a manner that is not in compliance with Regulation S.

5.	The Purchaser will, after expiration of the Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer the Securities only pursuant<br>to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom and, in accordance with all applicable state and foreign<br>securities laws.
---	---
6.	The Purchaser was not in the United States of America engaged in, and prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period will not engage<br>in, any short selling of or any hedging transaction with respect to the Warrant Shares or the Warrant ADSs, including without limitation,<br>any put, call or other option transaction, option writing or equity swap.
---	---

7.	Neither the Purchaser nor or any person acting on its behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling efforts to a U.S.<br>Person with respect to the Warrant Shares or the Warrant ADSs and the Purchaser and any person acting on its behalf have complied and<br>will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.
8.	The transactions contemplated by this Agreement have not been pre-arranged with a buyer located in the United States of America or<br>with a U.S. Person and are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

f. “Registration Statement” means one or more registration statements of the Company covering only the sale of the Registrable Securities.

REGISTRATION.

a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares then available for issuance in its Articles of Incorporation. The Initial Registration Statement shall register only the applicable Registrable Securities, unless otherwise approved by Investor in its sole and absolute discretion. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Registration Statements and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statements and any related prospectus prior to their respective filings with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall promptly furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statements and any amendment declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicably. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statements effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the date on which the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statements (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

b. Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statements. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus. By 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately following each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule).

c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares available under the Registration Statements is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statements or file a new Registration Statement (a “NewRegistration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

d. Offering. If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the Initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such Initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreements to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor as set forth in such registration statement.

b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC (provided that any Business Days beyond such two (2) Business Days will not be counted for the purpose of determining a Filing Failure or Effectiveness Failure), and not file any document in a form to which Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto as soon as practicable. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

c. Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.

d. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available, the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

e. As promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company), and, as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email on the same day of such effectiveness or by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

f. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

g. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3.

h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.

i. The Company shall at all times provide a depositary (or if applicable, a transfer agent) with respect to its ADSs and Ordinary Shares.

j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.

k. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

l. Within two (2) Business Days after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the depositary or transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if requested by the Investor at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Investor a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement is current and available to the Investor for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

a. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any registration statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

b. The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement hereunder.

c.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its depositary or transfer agent to promptly deliver ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, as applicable, without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreements in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ExchangeAct”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any third party losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement (with the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned) or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“IndemnifiedDamages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement or from the failure of the Investor to deliver or so cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received, or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to applicable law.

CONTRIBUTION.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, to use reasonable best efforts to:

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

d. take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s depositary or transfer agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however, that any transaction, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company remains the surviving entity immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed to be an assignment. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor.

Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

Re:	Earlyworks Co., Ltd.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are counsel to Earlyworks Co., Ltd., **** a stock corporation organized under the laws of Japan (the “Company”). On [____], the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form F-[ ] (File No. 333-[ ]) (as amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register 2,500,000 American Depositary Shares of the Company (the “ADSs”) and corresponding Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant Shares” and, together with the ADSs, Ordinary Shares, the “Securities”) to be issued upon exercise by the Selling Shareholders of the ADS purchase warrants.

The Securities may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Statement and listed in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”).

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective at [ ] p.m. (New York City time) on [__________], and we have no knowledge that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC, and the Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Registration Statement.

This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that, unless you receive a separate instruction from us or receive notice of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Securities, pursuant to the Registration Statement, do not constitute “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 (a)(3). The Securities may be issued by you immediately without restrictive legends or stop transfer instructions on your books and records and no further representations from the Selling Shareholder are required. Furthermore, you need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free reissuance of the Securities.

Very truly yours,

Upon the request of any Perpetual Issuee that wishes to pledge, hypothecate or grant security interests in any or all of the Company Equity held by it, including to banks or financial institutions as collateral or security for loans, advances or extensions of credit, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with each such Perpetual Issuee, at the sole cost and expense of such Perpetual Issuee, in taking action reasonably necessary to facilitate any such pledge, hypothecation or grant, including delivery of customary letter agreements to lenders that such lenders may reasonably request (which may include customary agreements by the Company in respect of the exercise of remedies by such lenders).

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (i) the five-year anniversary of this Agreement, (ii) the written agreement of the Company and Perpetual Issuees Beneficially Owning, in the aggregate, more than ten percent (10%) of the Company Equity Beneficially Owned by them as of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) the date on which (A) at least two (2) years have elapsed since the date of this Agreement and (B) the Perpetual Issuees Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, less than ten percent (10%) of the Company Equity Beneficially Owned by them as of the date of this Agreement, provided that termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 5.05. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be construed by limiting it so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent provided by applicable Law and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Any amendment, modification, termination, supplement, waiver, or termination effected in accordance with this Section 5.07 shall be binding on each Party and all of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns, whether or not any such party, successor, or assignee entered into or approved such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, or termination. Waiver by any Party of any breach or default by any other Party of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default, whether similar to or different from the breach or default waived. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the Parties or from any failure by any Party to assert its or his or her rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.

This Agreement and all actions (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the actions of the Parties in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof) are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle (whether of State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that might refer the governance or the construction of this Agreement to the Law of another jurisdiction, subject, in all respects, to any expressly applicable provisions of the Japanese Companies Act.

Section 5.11. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 5.09, and nothing in this Section 5.11 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii) irrevocably submits itself and its properties and assets to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York and the federal courts sitting in the State of New York, each of which shall have concurrent jurisdiction, for the purpose of any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof; (iii) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York and the federal courts sitting in the State of New York, each of which shall have concurrent jurisdiction, for the purpose of any such action, proceeding or counterclaim; (iv) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action, proceeding or counterclaim in any such court or that such action, proceeding or counterclaim was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (vi) agrees that it will not bring any action, proceeding or counterclaim relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts.

Section 5.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. The Company or any shareholder may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 5.12 with any court as written evidence of the consent of any of the Parties to the waiver of their rights to trial by jury.

Section 5.13. Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure the money damages that would be suffered if the Parties fail to comply with any of the obligations imposed on them by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Each Party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond or any similar instrument, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein or raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. The remedies available to the Parties pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall be in addition to and without prejudice with regard to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 5.14. Adjustments. All references in this Agreement to Company Equity shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, reorganizations and the like occurring after the date hereof.

Section 5.15. Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person, except for the Parties, any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 5.16. No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties, and no past, present or future Affiliate, incorporator, member, partner or Shareholder of any Party shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.
