8.7 The covenants set forth above shall be ongoing while any Investor owns the Convertible Promissory. The Company shall promptly notify such Investor in writing should it become aware during such period (a) of any changes to these covenants, or (b) if it cannot comply with the covenants set forth herein. The Company shall also promptly notify such Investor in writing during such period should it become aware of an investigation, litigation or regulatory action relating to an alleged or potential violation of Applicable Laws.
8.8 Reporting Status. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a material inducement to the Investors’ purchase of the Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant hereunder, the Company represents, warrants, and covenants to the following:
(i) The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports;
(ii) From the date hereof until all the ordinary shares of the Company issued upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note or upon exercise of the Warrant either have been sold by all of the Investors, or may permanently be sold by the Investors without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, (the “Registration Period”) the Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder;
(iii) The Company shall furnish to the Investors so long as any Investor owns a Convertible Promissory Note or a Warrant, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note or exercise of the Warrant pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and
(iv) During the Registration Period the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.
12
8.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall not use the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Promissory Note hereunder to fund, either directly or indirectly, any activities or business of or with any Blocked Person, in any Sanctioned Country, (iv) or in any manner or in a country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of CAATSA Sanctions Programs or (iv) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Sanctions Laws, Sanctioned Program, Anti-Bribery Laws or CAATSA Sanctions Programs.
9. Piggyback Registration Rights.
Until such time as the ordinary shares of the Company to be issued to the Investor either upon conversion of the Loan Principal or upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Shares”) are freely transferable pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Company shall grant the Investor piggyback registration rights with respect to the Shares; excluding, however, the Form F-1 being filed in connection with the Uplisting and any S-8 Registration Statement of the Company.
10. Conditions to Closing.
The obligations of the Investors hereunder to purchase the Convertible Promissory Note and the Warrant at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Investors’ sole benefit and may be waived by the Investor at any time in its sole discretion:
10.1 The Company shall have executed the transaction documents and delivered the same to the Investors;
10.2 The Ordinary Shares of the Company shall be authorized for quotation or trading on the market on which they are listed and trading in the ordinary shares shall not have been suspended for any reason;
10.3 The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any of such representations and warranties is already qualified as to materiality hereunder, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct without further qualification) as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date; and
10.4. The Investors shall have received an opinion of counsel from counsel to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Investors.
11. Limitation of Liability.
Neither party shall be liable hereunder for any indirect, special, or consequential losses or damages of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, regardless of whether arising from breach of contract, warranty, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such loss or damage, or if such loss or damage could have been reasonably foreseen.
13
12. Miscellaneous.
12.1 Each of the parties hereto shall perform such further acts and execute such further documents as may reasonably be necessary to carry out and give full effect to the provisions of this Agreement and the intentions of the parties as reflected thereby.
12.2 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof and any dispute, claim or controversy involving this letter agreement, or the circumstances surrounding the purchase and sale of the Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant described herein shall be settled through binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, in Manhattan, New York.
12.3 Except as otherwise expressly limited herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties hereto.
12.4 This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreement, understanding, or contract, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including any convertible bridge loan agreements signed by the Investors in the three months prior to the Effective Date.
12.5 No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party upon any breach or default under this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the parties, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
12.6 If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that in such event this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to give effect, to the greatest extent consistent with and permitted by applicable law, to the meaning and intention of the excluded provision as determined by such court of competent jurisdiction.
12.7 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.
