Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Reports and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. The Investor also acknowledges that the Company may possess material non-public information not known to the Investor regarding or relating to the Company or the Shares, and the Investor acknowledges that it has not requested such information and agrees that the Company shall have no liability whatsoever (and the Investor hereby waives and releases all claims which it would otherwise have) with respect to the non-disclosure of such information either prior to the date hereof or subsequent hereto.

 

(f) Certain Trading Activities. The Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company regarding an investment in the Company and (2) the 30th day prior to the date of this Agreement.

The Investor acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144 and that the Investor has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances.

ARTICLE 4.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 (a) Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of the Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act.

 

(b) Certificates evidencing the Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, the Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a).

 

(c) The Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) while a registration statement covering such Shares is then effective, or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferee is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares are eligible for sale by the selling Investor without volume restrictions under Rule 144. The Company agrees that following the effective date of such registration statement or such other time as legends are no longer required to be set forth on the Shares under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no longer than ten Trading Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a notice of sale, deliver or instruct the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to the Investor, Shares which are free of all restrictive and other legends. If the Company is then eligible, Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Investor by crediting the prime brokerage account of the Investor with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Investor. If the Investor shall make a sale or transfer of Shares either (x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall have delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent a representation letter in customary form (the date of the delivery of such representation letter being the “Letter Delivery Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor such Shares that are free from all restrictive or other legends by the tenth Trading Day following the Letter Delivery Date and (2) following such tenth Trading Day after the Letter Delivery Date and prior to the time such Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the Investor, or any third party on behalf of the Investor, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to any other rights available to the Investor under the Transaction Documents and Legal Requirements, the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by the Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Ordinary Shares as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by the Investor as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.

 

14

 

 

4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as the Investor or any transferee owns any Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as the Investor owns Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investor and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

 

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Investor, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale of the Shares to the Investor.

 

4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Company will submit a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K to the Commission disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto all existing Transaction Documents) and the Closing. The Company covenants that following such disclosure, the Investor shall no longer be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission and the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Investor, or include the name of the Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than a resale registration statement to register the Shares and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed, without the prior written consent of the Investor, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or applicable Trading Market regulations.

 

4.5 Indemnification of Investor. The Company will indemnify and hold the Investor and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, affiliates, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation in respect thereof (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any of the Company in any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.

 

4.6 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide the Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

4.7 Listing of Securities. The Company agrees that it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
