1.2 Closing. The closing of the Warrant Issuance (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically via exchange of executed documents, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Amazon the Warrant, as evidenced by a duly and validly executed warrant certificate dated as of the date hereof and bearing appropriate legends as hereinafter provided for.

 

1.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,” “Sections,” “Annexes,” “Schedules” or “Exhibits” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex, Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa. References to “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or provision, unless the context requires otherwise. References to “parties” refer to the parties to this Agreement. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the word “include,” “includes” or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.” No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel.

All references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America, and all references to “NIS” mean the lawful currency of the State of Israel. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation shall include any successor to the section. The term “Business Day” means any day, other than a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York or the State of Israel are authorized or required by Applicable Law to be closed. With respect to the Warrant and Warrant Shares, such term shall include any Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company received by NV Investment Holdings as a result of any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, other subdivision, reorganization, reclassification or similar capital transaction.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

2.1 Disclosure; Non-Reliance.

 

(a) “Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect, event, development, circumstance or occurrence (each, an “Effect”) that, taken individually or when taken together with all other applicable Effects, has been, is or would reasonably be, expected to be materially adverse to (i) the business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of the Company to complete the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall any Effect, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is or would be, a Material Adverse Effect to the extent resulting from: (A) any change in general economic, market or political conditions; (B) conditions generally affecting the industry in which the Company operates; (C) any change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) or Applicable Law; (D) any act of war (whether or not declared), armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, or any material escalation or worsening of any such events, or any national disaster or any national or international calamity; (E) any epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak (including COVID-19) or anything reasonably arising therefrom, including, without limitation, changes in Applicable Law, customer or supplier behavior, the values of share prices traded on any stock market or exchange; (F) any failure, in and of itself, to meet internal or published projections, forecasts, targets or revenue or earnings predictions for any period, as well as any change, in and of itself, by the Company in any projections, forecasts, targets or revenue or earnings predictions for any period (provided that the underlying causes of such failures (to the extent not otherwise falling within one of the other exceptions in this proviso) may constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is, or would be, a Material Adverse Effect); (G) any change in the price or trading volume of the Ordinary Shares (provided that the underlying causes of such change (to the extent not otherwise falling within one of the other exceptions in this proviso) may constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is or would be, a Material Adverse Effect); or (H) the announcement of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including, to the extent attributable to such announcement, any loss of or adverse change in the relationship, contractual or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries with their respective employees, customers, distributors, licensors, licensees, vendors, lenders, investors, partners or suppliers; provided, further, however, that any Effect referred to in clauses (A) through (E) may be taken into account in determining whether or not there has been, is, or would be, a Material Adverse Effect to the extent such Effect has a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other similarly situated participants in the industry in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate (in which case any adverse effect(s) to the extent disproportionate may be taken into account in determining whether or not there has been, is or would be a Material Adverse Effect).

 

(b) “Previously Disclosed” means information set forth or incorporated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 or its other reports, statements and forms (including exhibits and other information incorporated therein) filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Section 13(a), 14(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in each case on or after December 31, 2019 (the “SEC Reports”) (in each case excluding any disclosures set forth in any risk factor section and in any section relating to forward-looking or safe harbor statements), to the extent such SEC Reports are filed or furnished at least five (5) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(c) Each party acknowledges that it is not relying upon any representation or warranty of the other party, express or implied, not set forth in the Transaction Documents. Amazon acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to conduct such review and analysis of the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, including an opportunity to ask such questions of management and review such information maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case as it considers sufficient for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Amazon further acknowledges that it has had such an opportunity to consult with its own counsel, financial and tax advisers and other professional advisers as it believes is sufficient for purposes of the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transaction Documents” refers collectively to this Agreement, the Master Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and any other agreement entered into by and among the parties and/or their Affiliates on the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with their respective terms.

 

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as Previously Disclosed or as set forth in the correspondingly numbered section of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and, in the case of the representation in the last sentence of Section 2.2(c), as of the date of each issuance of Warrant Shares, to Amazon that:

 

(a) Organization and Authority. The Company has been and is a limited company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Israel, the annual fees of the Company payable or due to the Israeli Companies Registrar have been duly paid, and the Company is not an “infringing company” under Section 362A(a) of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999.

The Company has made available to Amazon complete and correct copies of the Company’s articles of association, as of the date of this Agreement, and such articles of association are in full force and effect.

 

(b) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares of which, as of the close of business on September 9, 2020, 41,197,714 shares were issued and outstanding. As of the close of business on September 9, 2020, the Company had (i) options to purchase 804,820 Ordinary Shares outstanding under Company Stock Plans without giving effect to all forfeitures or exercises that may have occurred during the quarter ending September 30, 2020, including an estimated 11,248 Ordinary Shares reasonably estimated to be underlying options, the precise number of which remains subject to change based on the application of the Binomial Option Pricing Method to a dollar-based equity compensation award, (ii) 35,313 Ordinary Shares underlying performance share units, including an estimated 16,871 Ordinary Shares reasonably estimated to be underlying performance share units, the precise number of which remains subject to change based on the application of the Monte-Carlo Option Pricing Method to a dollar-based equity compensation award, (iii) 852,362 Ordinary Shares underlying restricted share units outstanding under the Company Stock Plans, (iv) 2,856,860 Ordinary Shares reserved for additional grants under the Company Stock Plans without giving effect to all forfeitures or exercises that may have occurred during the quarter ending September 30, 2020 or any adjustments based on the application of the pricing models specified in clauses (i) and (ii), (v) no other restricted shares, restricted share units or other share-based awards outstanding under the Company Stock Plans, (vi) an aggregate of 2,294,877 Ordinary Shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the Prior Warrant as of September 10, 2020 (assuming all Ordinary Shares subject to the Prior Warrant fully vest) and (vii) no other warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares outstanding. Since the close of business on September 9, 20120, no shares have been issued or subject to any obligation to be issued, other than those issuable upon exercise of the Prior Warrant or previously outstanding share based awards, including stock options, performance share units or restricted share units. Since the close of business on September 9, 2020, no restricted shares, restricted share units or other share-based awards have been granted. The outstanding Ordinary Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and subject to no preemptive rights (and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights, the Company’s articles of association, or any Applicable Laws). Except as set forth above or pursuant to the Transaction Documents, there are no (A) shares of capital stock or other Equity Securities or Voting Securities of the Company authorized, reserved for issuance, issued or outstanding, (B) options, warrants, calls, preemptive rights, subscription or other rights, instruments, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character, obligating the Company or any of its subsidiaries to issue, transfer or sell or cause to be issued, transferred or sold any shares of capital stock or other Equity Security or Voting Security in the Company or any securities or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for such shares of capital stock or other Equity Securities or Voting Securities, or obligating the Company or any of its subsidiaries to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, preemptive right, subscription or other right, instrument, agreement, arrangement or commitment, (C) outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any capital stock or other Equity Securities or Voting Securities of the Company, or (D) issued or outstanding performance awards, units, rights to receive any capital stock or other Equity Securities or Voting Securities of the Company on a deferred basis, or rights to purchase or receive any capital stock or Equity Securities or Voting Securities issued or granted by the Company to any current or former director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company. No subsidiary of the Company owns any shares of capital stock or other Equity Securities or Voting Securities of the Company. There are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock or other Equity Securities or Voting Securities of the Company. All options granted and shares reserved or issued pursuant to the Company Stock Plans have been granted, reserved and issued in all material respects in full compliance with their respective Company Stock Plan and Applicable Law. The issuance of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares will not result in any adjustment to the conversion price or exercise price of any securities of the Company that are convertible into, or exercisable for, Ordinary Shares.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Antitrust Laws” means the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state, local, domestic, foreign or supranational laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or that provide for review of foreign investment.

(ii) Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s subsidiaries is a party to, or has any commitment to become a party to, any joint venture, off-balance sheet partnership or any similar agreement or arrangement, where the result, purpose or effect of such agreement or arrangement is to avoid disclosure of any material transaction involving, or material liabilities of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the SEC Reports (including the financial statements contained therein).

 

(iii) The Company has designed and maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the remainder of this Section 3.1) and the other Transaction Documents, each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable under Applicable Law to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the parties shall, (i) subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1, including Section 3.1(d), use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable (as determined in good faith by Amazon after consultation with the Company in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.1(d)) all exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals from, and to make all filings with and to give all notices to, all third parties, including any Governmental Entities, required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include providing, as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable, such information to any Governmental Entity as such Governmental Entity may request in connection therewith, and (ii) cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals and make all such filings and give such notices.

 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and only to the extent required by Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Antitrust Law) including, without limitation, in the event that the “Investment-Only” exemption is not available to Amazon, (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable after written notice from Amazon, and in any event no later than in accordance with established regulatory time frames, the parties shall file any Notification and Report Forms required under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice and (ii) as promptly as practicable after written notice from Amazon, the parties shall file, make or give, as applicable, all other filings, requests or notices required under any other Antitrust Laws, in each case with respect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares (the “Initial Filing Transaction”) (the filings, requests and notices described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Initial Antitrust Filings”). In addition, following the receipt of the Initial Antitrust Clearance, to the extent required by Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Antitrust Law) in connection with any further issuance of Warrant Shares (in each case, whether in full or in part), the parties shall file, make or give, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable (as determined in good faith by Amazon after consultation with the Company in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.1(d)), any further required filings, requests or notices required under any Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Entities any information and documentary material that may be required pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Initial Antitrust Clearance” as of any time means (x) prior to such time, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of all exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals, the making of all filings and the giving of all notices, and the expiration of all waiting periods, pursuant to any other Antitrust Laws, in each case to the extent required with respect to the Initial Filing Transaction, and (y) the absence at such time of any Applicable Law or Order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition under any Antitrust Law, in each case that has the effect of preventing the consummation of the Initial Filing Transaction.

Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other party of, and if in writing furnish the other with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other of), any substantive communication that it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity, whether written or oral, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and to the extent reasonably practicable, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed substantive written communication by such party to any Governmental Entity and consider in good faith the other party’s reasonable comments on any such proposed substantive written communications prior to their submission. No party shall, and each party shall cause its Affiliates not to, participate or agree to participate in any substantive meeting or communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of the subject matter of the Transaction Documents, including on a “no names” or hypothetical basis, unless (to the extent practicable) it or they consult with the other party in advance, and to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party the opportunity to jointly prepare for, attend and participate in such meeting or communication. The parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the matters described in this Section 3.1, including (x) furnishing to each other all information reasonably requested to determine the jurisdictions in which a filing or submission under any Antitrust Law is required or advisable, (y) furnishing to each other all information required for any filing or submission under any Antitrust Law and (z) keeping each other reasonably informed with respect to the status of each exemption, authorization, consent, approval, filing and notice under any Antitrust Law, in each case, in connection with the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(e) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including in this Section 3.1, in the event that any arbitral, administrative, judicial or analogous action, claim or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or any other party relating to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents (“Transaction Litigation”), neither party shall be required to contest and resist any such Transaction Litigation or to seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation or implementation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents. Each party shall keep the other party reasonably informed with respect to any Transaction Litigation unless doing so would reasonably be likely to jeopardize any privilege of such party regarding any such Transaction Litigation (subject to such party using commercially reasonable efforts to develop and implement, and cooperating in good faith with the other party in developing and implementing, reasonable alternative arrangements to provide such other party with such information). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, each party shall promptly advise the other party orally and in writing in connection with, and shall consult with each other with respect to, any Transaction Litigation and shall in good faith give consideration to each other’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation.

 

(f) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall adopt such amendments and take such further actions and do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law, to prevent the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby from constituting a “change in control,” “change of control” or other similar term under any Company Benefit Plan.

 

(g) As promptly as practicable after Amazon exercises the Warrants and becomes a shareholder of the Company, the Company shall give notice to the Israeli Innovation Authority (formerly the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy), provided such notice has been previously approved by Amazon and if Amazon has or will become an “Interested Party” (as defined in the Israeli Securities Law-1968) of the Company, such notice shall be accompanied by a customary undertaking to the Israeli Innovation Authority in the form attached hereto as Annex B as may be amended by the Israeli Innovation Authority from time to time that shall be executed by Amazon.

 

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the earlier of (i) the exercise of the Warrant in full and (ii) the expiration, termination or cancellation of the Warrant without the Warrant having been exercised in full, no party shall have any further obligations under this Section 3.1; provided, that this Section 3.1(i) shall in no way relieve any party with respect to any breach by such party of this Section 3.1 prior to such time.

 

3.2 Public Announcements.

 

(a) Except as required by Applicable Law, the Exchange Act, Williams Act or any other U.S. securities Applicable Laws or other disclosure required by the Commission or other Governmental Entity to be made by Amazon or the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or by the rules or requirements of any stock exchange on which the securities of a party are listed, no party shall make, or cause to be made, or permit any of its Affiliates to make, any public disclosure in respect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby without prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the other party, to the extent such public disclosure relates to the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents. The parties agree that neither party shall issue a press releases or a portion thereof with respect to the entry into this Agreement or the grant of the Warrant.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, in recognition of the importance to the Company and Amazon of taking appropriate steps to maintain the confidentiality of agreements between the parties from the parties’ customers, competitors and suppliers, in the event that the Company is requested by the Commission or any other regulatory body or stock exchange (the Commission and each such other regulatory body or stock exchange, a “Disclosure Agency”), or legally required to file or otherwise submit any agreement to which Amazon is a party (each a “Disclosable Agreement”) or any excerpt from, summary of or specific information relating to any Disclosable Agreement with or to a Disclosure Agency the filing or submission of which involves or could result in public disclosure of such Disclosable Agreement or excerpt therefrom, summary thereof or specific information relating thereto, the Company will (1) promptly notify Amazon of such request or requirement to file or otherwise submit the Disclosable Agreement or any excerpt therefrom, summary thereof or specific information relating thereto and any applicable deadline for making such filing or submission, (2) except with respect to this Agreement, the Warrant and the Master Purchase Agreement and any amendments to any such agreements, use reasonable efforts, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of which shall be split between the parties, to persuade the Disclosure Agency that the Company is not required to file or otherwise submit the Disclosable Agreement pursuant to applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances and, to the extent such efforts are not successful, (3) provide Amazon with a reasonable opportunity to request (i) a redaction of any information in the Disclosable Agreement or excerpt therefrom, summary thereof or specific information relating thereto (in addition to any redactions proposed by the Company) prior to filing or submitting such Disclosable Agreement, excerpt therefrom, summary thereof or specific information relating thereto, and (ii) if requested or required by the Disclosure Agency, the submission of one or more confidential treatment requests in support of such redactions with such arguments as requested by Amazon, including in response to any comments or requests for information issued by the applicable Disclosure Agency, to which, in each case, the Company shall agree absent a reasonable basis for objection (and shall provide Amazon prompt notice of any such objection, the basis therefor and a reasonable opportunity to consider and discuss such objection with the Company), (4) provide Amazon (i) with copies of any comments and all other communications received from the applicable Disclosure Agency with respect to the Disclosable Agreement or confidential treatment thereof (including a reasonable summary of any oral communications or other comments received other than in writing) as promptly as reasonably practicable and (ii) with the Company’s proposed response to such comments at least three (3) Business Days before such response is submitted to the applicable Disclosure Agency, and (5) provide Amazon with a reasonable opportunity to propose revisions within such three (3)-Business Day period to such proposed response as requested by Amazon, and which revisions the Company shall make absent a reasonable basis for objection (and shall provide Amazon prompt notice of any such objection, the basis therefor and a reasonable opportunity to consider and discuss such objection with the Company), and as applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts in responding to any such comments in order to pursue assurance that confidential treatment will be granted. The Company will not file this Agreement, any Disclosable Agreement, any excerpt therefrom, summary or portion thereof or specific information relating thereto with any Governmental Entity or regulatory body, including any Disclosure Agency, or disclose any other confidential and/or commercially sensitive information in any manner, except to the extent (i) permitted above, or (ii) the Company determines in good faith based on the advice of outside counsel that making such filing or submission without adhering to the requirements set forth above is necessary to comply with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.1 of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2(b) will survive for so long as the Master Purchase Agreement remains in effect.

 

3.3 Expenses.

Such valuation shall be binding on Amazon and the Company for all U.S. tax purposes. Amazon and the Company shall treat the Warrant Issuance for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) as a closed, taxable transaction occurring on the date of the Warrant Issuance, rather than as an open transaction, and (ii) not as a transaction in connection with the performance of services within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code.

6.7 Entire Agreement, Etc. This Agreement (including the Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto) and the other Transaction Documents, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No party shall take, or cause to be taken, including by entering into agreements or other arrangements with provisions or obligations that conflict, or purport to conflict, with the terms of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, any action with either an intent or effect of impairing any such other Person’s rights under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

23

 

 

6.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempt to assign any right, remedy, obligation or liability hereunder without such consent shall be void, except that Amazon may Transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, but any such Transfer or assignment shall not relieve Amazon of its obligations hereunder.

6.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or a Transaction Document, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

6.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including a party’s failure to take all actions as are necessary on such party’s part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which monetary damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy.
