Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation or default in any material respect of any of the provisions of its respective articles of association, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaws, limited partnership agreement or other organizational or constitutive documents. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing (to the extent such concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction) in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent any failure to so qualify has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.2.       Authorization. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all requisite corporate action necessary for, and no further action on the part of the Company, its officers, managing directors, supervisory directors and shareholders is necessary for, (i) the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) the authorization of the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, and (iii) the granting of the Warrants and the issuance of the Warrant Shares. This Agreement, upon execution and delivery by the Company, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Investors, constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of indemnification provisions may be limited by applicable laws.

 

 

 

4.3.       Valid Issuance. The Warrants are duly and validly granted, free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions (other than those created by the relevant Warrant Holder), except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement or imposed by applicable law. Upon the issuance of Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise of one or more Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Warrant Shares will be duly and validly issued, free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions (other than those created by the relevant Warrant Holder), except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement or imposed by applicable law. Upon the issuance of Warrant Shares, when paid for pursuant to this Agreement, such Warrant Shares will be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

4.4.       Consents. The grant and issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares by the Company hereunder require no consent of, action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Person, governmental body, agency, or official other than filings that have been made pursuant to applicable U.S. state securities laws and post-sale filings pursuant to applicable U.S. state and federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, which the Company undertakes to file within the applicable time periods.

 

4.5.       No Conflict, Breach, Violation or Default. The grant and issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of (i) any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Company’s Articles of Association as in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Section 5, any applicable statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of their assets or properties.

 

4.6.       No Directed Selling Efforts or General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any Person acting on its behalf has conducted any general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) in connection with the offer, grant or issuance any of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.

 

4.7.       No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security of the Company or solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act.

 

4.8.       Minimum Consolidated Cash. At 31 December 2021, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet showed an adjusted cash balance at a normal working capital level (including (i) EUR 1,400,000 cash-in-transit and (ii) EUR 6,800,000 accounts receivable) of at least EUR 15,000,000.

4.9.       No Filing or Stamp Taxes. There are no transfer, sales, use, stamp, registration and/or any other documentary taxes due or payable in Germany, the United States or

 

 

 

the Netherlands by the Company or any of the Investors in respect of the granting of the Warrants or the issuance of the Warrant Shares under applicable laws.

 

5.       Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Without prejudice to the representations and warranties given by the Investors in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each of the Investors hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof and on each date when Warrant Shares are issued to such Investor that:

 

5.1.       Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Warrants and Warrant Shares to be received by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for such Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, and such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the 1933 Act without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by Investor to hold the Warrant Shares received by it for any period of time. Such Investor is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

 

5.2.       Investment Experience. Such Investor acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

 

5.3.       Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that any Warrant Shares issued pursuant to an exercise of Warrants are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

5.4.       Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates and book entries evidencing any Warrants and any Warrant Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:

 

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered with the UNITED STATES Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as

 

 

 

amended. These securities are subject to transfer and other restrictions set forth in a WARRANT Agreement, dated JANUARY 31, 2022, A copY of which IS on file with the Company. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

If required by the authorities of any U.S. state in connection with the issuance of the Warrant Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

 

5.5.       Accredited Investor. At the time such Investor was offered the Warrants it was and, as of the date of the exercise of such Warrants, such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the 1933 Act. Such investor is a sophisticated institutional investor with sufficient knowledge, sophistication and experience in business, including transactions involving private placements in public equity, to properly evaluate the risks and merits of its purchase of the Shares. Such Investor has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that its purchase of the Warrants and, upon the exercise of Warrants, Warrant Shares and participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) are fully consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to such Investor, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, (iv) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under such Investor’s charter, bylaws or other constituent document or under any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation by which such Investor is bound and (v) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for such Investor, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

 

5.6.       No General Solicitation. Such Investor did not learn of the investment in the Warrants and the Warrant Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

5.7.       No Government Recommendation or Approval. Such Investor understands that no U.S. federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the grant or issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

 

5.8.       No Intent to Effect a Change of Control. Such Investor has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and under the rules of Nasdaq.

 

5.9.       No Rule 506 Disqualifying Activities. Such Investor has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the 1933 Act.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 5 shall not modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations

 

 

 

and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

6.       Survival and Indemnification.

 

6.1.       Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) days after the Maturity Date and thereafter shall have no further force and effect.

 

6.2.       Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Investors against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Investor may become subject (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on the inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, and will reimburse each Investor for legal and other documented expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) the failure of such Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein, or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Investor herein; provided further, that the Company’s liability under this Section 6.2 towards an Investor shall never exceed the Subscription Amount payable by the relevant Investor pursuant to this Agreement.

 

6.3.       Indemnification by Investors. Each Investor shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure by such Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Investor herein, and will reimburse the Company for any legal and other documented expense reasonably incurred, as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action, provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any damages which resulted from a breach of any of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents; provided further, that an Investor’s liability under this Section 6.3 towards the Company shall never exceed the Subscription Amount payable by that Investor pursuant to this Agreement.

 

6.4.       Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Investor or the Company (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third Person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the

 

 

 

commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.
