ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 4.1 Favorable Agreement. The Company covenants and agrees that it has not entered into any agreement with respect to the Original Warrants with any other holder of the Original Warrants (each, an “Other Holder”) for any material amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (or settlement or exchange of such Original Warrants for other material consideration) (each a “More Favorable Agreement”), that is more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holder pursuant to this Agreement. From the date hereof until one year following the Closing Date, if the Company enters into a More Favorable Agreement with terms that are materially different from this Agreement (“material” shall be in the reasonable determination of the Holder), then (i) the Company shall provide written notice thereof to the Holder promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement that shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically and retroactively to the date hereof, amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of such more favorable material terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such More Favorable Agreement, provided that upon written notice to the Company within five business days of such Company’s written notice, the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified material term or condition, in which event the material term or condition contained in this Agreement shall continue to apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each More Favorable Agreement. The Company will notify the Holder any time it enters into any agreement with any Other Holder relating to the Original Warrants and, at the request of the Holder, provide the Holder with such agreement for its review.

 

Section 4.2 Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Holder under any other agreement related to the exercise of such Original Warrants (“Other Warrant Exercise Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder or under any such Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and the Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. The Company and the Holder confirms that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce their rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

Section 4.3 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be made by email to the email address of Holders set forth on Holders’ signature page.

 

Section 4.4 Survival. All warranties and representations (as of the date such warranties and representations were made) made herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by any party hereto or on its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the parties hereto and shall survive the issuance of the Warrant Shares. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that no party may assign this Agreement or the obligations and rights of such party hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

 

Section 4.5 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

Section 4.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

 

Section 4.7 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined pursuant to the Governing Law provision in Section 7.4 of the Original Warrants.

 

Section 4.8 Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

 

Section 4.9 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

Section 4.10 Fees and Expenses. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Warrant Shares.

 

Section 4.11 Subsequent Equity Sales. From the date hereof until five (5) business days following the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Ordinary Shares, ADSs or Ordinary Share Equivalents.
