5.1.1 | Without prejudice to any other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, each Party hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, on behalf of such Party only to the other Parties as follows: |
a. | except if such a Party is a natural person and not a legal entity or (limited) partnership, it is duly organized, and validly existing under the laws of its incorporation or formation, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted; |
b. | it has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to incur the obligations provided for herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action and are not in violation of its articles of association or other governing documents, as far as applicable; and |
c. | this Agreement constitutes its legal and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by other principles of general applicability. |
17
5.1.2 | Without prejudice to any other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, each Subscriber hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, on behalf of such Subscriber to the Company as follows: |
a. | This Agreement is made with the Subscribers in reliance upon the Subscriber’s representation to the Company, which by the Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby confirms, that the Series B Shares to be acquired by the Subscriber will be acquired for investment for the Subscriber’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Subscriber has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Subscriber further represents that the Subscriber does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Series B Shares. Except as disclosed to the Company, the Subscriber has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Series B Shares. |
b. | The Subscriber has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series B Shares with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the right of the Subscribers to rely thereon. |
c. | The Subscriber understands that the Series B Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations as expressed herein. The Subscriber understands that the Series B Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Subscriber must hold the Series B Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Series B Shares, or the Ordinary Shares into which it may be converted, for resale except as set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement. The Subscriber further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Subscriber’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. |
18
d. | The Subscriber understands that no public market now exists for the Series B Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Series B Shares. |
e. | If the Subscriber is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Series B Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Series B Shares. The Subscriber’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Series B Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction. |
f. | The Subscriber is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. |
g. | Neither the Subscriber, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (a) engaged in any general solicitation, or (b) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Series B Shares. |
h. | The Subscribers are not aware of any material Warranty Breach. |

5.2.2 | In case of a Warranty Breach, the Company shall reimburse and hold the Subscribers harmless for all Damages.

19

b. | The aggregate maximum liability of the Company for Warranty Breaches (i) shall not exceed the total amount actually invested by the Subscribers at the First Closing and the Milestone Closing, and (ii) no liability shall arise unless the Damages resulting from all Warranty Breaches exceed an amount of USD 200,000 (two hundred thousand United States Dollars), in which case the Company shall be liable for the entire amount and not only the excess. |
c. | The Subscribers shall not be entitled to any compensation for a Warranty Breach unless notice (the “Claim Notification”) in writing of such claim has been received by the Company containing a description of the facts and circumstances that gave rise to the claim, as well as an estimate of the amount of the claim, all to the extent known to the Subscribers. |
d. | The Subscribers undertake to inform the Company as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of facts and circumstances that could give rise to a claim for either a Warranty Breach, in any event within 60 (sixty) calendar days. Any failure or delay on the part of the Subscribers to notify the Company shall not prejudice the right of the Subscribers to make a claim, but the Damages payable shall be reduced to the extent Damages have arisen as a consequence of such delay. |
e. | Other than with respect to Fundamental Warranties, the Subscribers shall not be entitled to claim any Damages after 24 (twenty four) months have lapsed after the First Closing Date, with respect to Warranty Breaches; it being understood, however, that a claim by the Subscribers in relation to any Damages relating to the Fundamental Warranties may be made within 60 (sixty) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation. |
