Exhibit 10.5
THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of October 14, 2020, by and between Eventer Technologies Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”) and Medigus Ltd. (the “Investor”).
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to raise capital by means of issuance of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, nominal value NIS 0.1 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) to the Investor, at a purchase price of US$2.305777 per each Ordinary Share (the “Ordinary Share PPS”); and
WHEREAS, the Investor desires to purchase and the Company desires to issue and sell to the Investor the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions more fully set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF PURCHASED SHARES.
1.1 Sale and Issuance of Shares. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase, from the Company, according to the allocation set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, for an aggregate purchase price of US$750,000 (the “Purchase Price”), an aggregate of 325,270 Ordinary Shares (the “Purchased Shares”) at the Ordinary Share PPS, representing 50.01% of the Company’s share capital on a Fully Diluted Basis (the “Investor Closing Holdings”) reflecting a pre-money valuation on a Fully-Diluted Basis (as defined below) of US$749,600.
The capitalization table of the Company, reflecting the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a Fully Diluted Basis, immediately prior to Closing and immediately following the Closing, assuming the investment of the Purchase Price, is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Capitalization Table”).
In this Agreement, “Fully-Diluted Basis” shall mean all issued and outstanding shares of the Company, including but not limited to (i) all Ordinary Shares; (ii) all securities convertible or exercisable into shares (being deemed so converted); (iii) all convertible investments, financings or loans (being deemed so converted); (iv) all options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares or other securities exercisable for shares (being deemed allocated and so exercised) (excluding the Allocated Option and Anti-Dilution Protection Shares); and (v) any adjustments of the number of issued shares triggered by or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (if any), including anti-dilution adjustment.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, with respect to the (a) reservation of 74,100 options to purchase Ordinary Shares for options and other equity awards promised to such persons and entities listed in Schedule 1.1 (the “Allocated Options”), and (b) an additional reservation of 8,410 Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon issuance of certain of the Allocated Options, all as described in Schedule 1.1 (the “Anti-Dilution Protection Shares”), if any shares shall be issued following the exercise of any Allocated Options and if any Anti-Dilution Protection Shares shall be issued, then the Company shall issue to the Investor, for no additional consideration and with no other action required on the part of the Company or the Investor, such number of Ordinary Shares that would result in no dilution of the Investor’s proportionate holding in the Company due to any such issuances (i.e. the Investor’s holding shall not fall below the Investor Closing Holdings, except to the extent such dilution results from further issuances approved in accordance with the Restated Articles) (the “Adjustment Shares”) and the Company shall deliver to the Investor a share certificate representing such Adjustment Shares, register the Adjustment Shares in the Company’s Shareholders Register and file all required notices with the Israeli Registrar of Companies. The Adjustment Shares shall be deemed, for all purposes, as “Purchased Shares” that have been issued as of the Closing.
1.2 Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures, at such time and place as the Company and Investor mutually agree upon (such designated time and place, the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be subject to the conditions of Section 5 below, which conditions shall be deemed to take place simultaneously and no transaction described in such sections shall be deemed to have been completed or any document delivered until all such transactions have been completed and all such required documents delivered.
1.3 Restated Articles. The Company shall adopt on or before the Closing the Amended and Restated Articles of Association in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Restated Articles”). The Purchased Shares shall have and confer upon the holders thereof the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Restated Articles, as may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms.
1.4 Second Tranche Closing.
(a) If following the Closing, the Company shall determine that the EBIDTA set forth in Schedule 1.4 has been achieved, in whole or in part (in which case, the rate of achievement shall be stated) (the “Milestone Conditions”), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Second Tranche Notification”) to the Investor that a closing of the purchase and sale of 1 additional Ordinary Share (the “Second Tranche Closing Share”) (the “Second Tranche Closing”) is to take place pursuant to this Subsection 1.4. The Second Tranche Notification shall include the proposed date for the Second Tranche Closing, which date shall be no earlier than fourteen (14) days after the date of the Second Tranche Notification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and at the Second Tranche Closing, the Company shall sell and issue to the Investor and the Investor shall purchase at the Second Tranche Closing the Second Tranche Closing Share against payment of US$250,000 or a proportionate portion thereof, in accordance with the level of achievement of the Milestone Conditions (the “Second Tranche Amount”), by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the issuance of the Second Tranche Closing, the Parties may mutually agree to apply an additional premium on account of the Purchased Shares. In case of issuance of the Second Tranche Closing Share, all shares held by the Investor shall be deemed to have effective price per share equal to the total amount of the Purchase Price and the Second Tranche Amount divided by the total number of shares purchased by the Investor.
The initial consideration and determination whether or not the Milestone Conditions shall have been achieved shall be made by the directors of the Company excluding the Medigus Directors (as defined in the Restated Articles). Upon receipt of the Second Tranche Notification, the Investor may ask for any information and clarifications it deems necessary to determine whether the Milestone Conditions have been met, and it may also respond with an objection to the Second Tranche Notification based on its position that the Milestone Conditions have not been achieved. In such case of disagreement, the parties may refer the matter to an arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon, and in case of disagreement, the matter would be dealt with pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5 of this Agreement. The Investor shall not be required to pay any portion of the Second Tranche Amount until a non-appealable decision has been made. In all such actions, the Medigus Directors shall not be involved in their capacities as directors, in any actions taken by the Company with respect to the Second Tranche Closing.
(b) The Investor’s obligation to transfer the Second Tranche Amount and purchase the Second Tranche Closing Share at the Second Tranche Closing may be satisfied by any person or entity that is a Permited Transferee of the Investor (as such term is defined in the Restated Articles) (the “Additional Investor”), subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 20.1.1 of the Restated Articles, applied as if this is a Transfer; provided, that the Investor alone shall remain the party to this Agreement, such as for purposes of the Share Exchange Option Agreement, the Information Rights Agreement, etc.; provided however that the Additional Investor shall provide a letter of confirmation regarding the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement.

(c) For any and all purposes under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, the date of issuance of the Second Tranche Closing Share shall be deemed to be the date of Closing, specifically for purposes of the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Investor under this Subsection 1.4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2023, or (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the Restated Articles).

(c) Except for Fraud, the Company shall not have any liability with respect to any breach of representation and warranty, unless a claim is made hereunder prior to the expiration of the Claims Period for such representation and warranty, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to that claim until the claim has been finally resolved.
(d) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Claims Periods supersede any statute of limitations applicable to the representations and warranties, and this Section 7.1 constitutes a separate written legally binding agreement among the parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 19 of the Israeli Limitation Law, 1958.
7.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnifiable Losses. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Investor (including its directors and officers) (each, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from all claims, actions, suits, settlements, damages, expenses (including, reasonable legal costs and expenses), losses, or costs sustained or incurred by such Indemnitees (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, or arising out of, a breach or misrepresentations of any the Indemnitor’s representations, warranties or covenants made in this Agreement, subject to the limitations in this Section 7.
(b) Limitations. The Indemnitee’s right for indemnification hereunder is subject to the following conditions and limitations, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but in to any other limitation or condition contained herein; provided, however, no limitation shall apply to Fraud:
(i) The Indemnitor’s liability shall be limited to direct damages only of the Indemnitees.
(ii) Other than in respect of the Fundamental Representations, no Indemnitor shall be liable for any Loss, unless and until the aggregate of Losses equal or exceeds US$20,000, in which case indemnification shall be made from the first dollar amount.
(iii) The Indemnitor’s liability shall be limited with respect to the Investor to the sum of the Purchase Price.
(c) Claims Notice; Third Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnitee wishes to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder it shall give the Indemnitor a prompt written notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances upon which the asserted claim for indemnification is based and thereafter keep the Indemnitor informed, in all material respects, with respect thereto. In the event that such Claims Notice results from a third party claim against the Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly upon becoming aware of the commencement of proceedings by such third party provide the Indemnitor with the Claims Notice and the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (at Indemnitor’s expense) with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that the Indemnitees shall have the right to retain their own counsel, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnitor, and within the indemnification limitations herein, if representation of all parties by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the parties in such proceeding. Failure of the Indemnitees to give prompt notice or to keep it informed, as provided herein, shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor shall not be liable nor shall it be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee in connection with any settlement effected without its consent in writing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
20
(d) Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that as a result of a breach by the Company of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2 or 2.4 above, in a manner that the percentage holdings of the Investors in the Company as of immediately after the Closing shall be lower than the percentage they would have been entitled to pursuant to this Agreement had such breach not occurred (i.e. to the extent that as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2 or 2.4 the Company is obligated to issue additional shares or convertible securities) (a “Dilution”), then, in lieu of the indemnification pursuant to Section 7, the Investors shall be issued by the Company additional Ordinary Shares for no additional consideration, in such amount that following the issuance thereof, each Investor’s percentage ownership in the Company, on a Fully Diluted Basis, shall be equal to its percentage ownership immediately prior to such Dilution.
(e) Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, in lieu of the indemnification pursuant to Section 7, to receive such additional number of Ordinary Shares, for no additional consideration, as is determined by dividing the amount of Losses by the Fair Market Value (as defined and to be determined as set forth below).
The “Fair Market Value” of one Ordinary Share at the time of payment shall be determined by Investor and the Company (by decision of the directors of the Company excluding the Medigus Directors); provided, however, that if the Investor and the Company cannot agree on the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares, the fair market value shall be determined by calculating the average ratio of the market cap to EBIDTA (as published on the then most-recent annual audited financial statements) of two public companies in the industry of the Company (which, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Investor and the Company, shall be Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. and CTS Eventim AG) and multiplying such ration by the Company’s EBIDTA (as published on the then most-recent annual audited financial statements of the Company).
(f) Sole Remedy. The indemnification provided by the Indemnitor hereunder and the enforcement of such indemnification shall be the exclusive remedy available to the Indemnitees under this Agreement, other than for Fraud; provided that this provision does not limit the right to seek specific performance, a restraining order or injunctive relief with respect to any provision of this Agreement.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 Further Assurances. 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.
8.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto), the Restated Articles and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among any of the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof (with no concession being made as to the existence of any such prior agreements or understandings).
8.3 Amendment; Waiver. Except as explicitly set forth herein, any term of this Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the Company, and the Investor. The observance of any term hereof may be waived (either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance) only by the prior written consent of the party against which enforcement of such waiver shall be sought. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company.
21
8.4 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. None of the rights, privileges or obligations set forth in, arising under, or created by this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Investor, without the prior written consent of the Company; except that no such consent shall be required after the Closing in case of an assignment of this Agreement along with the transfer of Purchased Shares from the Investor to the Investor’s Permitted Transferee (as is defined in the Restated Articles) and the assumption in writing by such Permitted Transferee of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations arising under this Agreement, as the Investor hereunder. In such case, the Investor and the Permitted Transferee shall deliver to the Company a notice, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, notifying and representing to the Company the foregoing. The Company shall be permitted to assign this Agreement or any and all of its rights, privileges or obligations set forth in, arising under, or created by this Agreement to its successors and assigns (including to a purchaser, successor or assignor of all or substantially all of its assets) after the Closing, subject to the assumption by such successors and assigns of this Agreement or any and all of its rights, privileges or obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
8.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with to the laws of the State of Israel, disregarding its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the competent court located in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the abovementioned courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the abovementioned court, (iii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the abovementioned court, and (iv) irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided by Section 8.6 or as otherwise provided by applicable law.

8.7 Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

8.8 Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. Unless the context requires otherwise, the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety, and not to any particular provision hereof, and all references herein to Sections shall be construed to refer to Sections to this Agreement. Reference to “governmental authorities” (or similar terms) shall include any: (a) nation, principality, state, commonwealth, territory, county, municipality, district or other jurisdiction of any nature, (b) federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or other government, (c) governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory body of any nature, including any governmental division, subdivision, department, agency, bureau, branch, office, commission, council, board, instrumentality, organization, unit, or body, or (d) court, public or private arbitrator or other public tribunal. Reference to a “person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, estate, unincorporated organization, governmental authority or other entity, including, any party to this Agreement. Any reference to a “day” or a number of days (without explicit reference to “business days”) shall be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days, and if any action is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and such calendar day is not a business day, then such action may be deferred until the first business day thereafter (where “business day” shall mean any day on which banking institutions in Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, Israel are generally open to the public for conducting business and are not required by law to close). For the purposes of this Agreement, all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving the same person, or such person and its affiliates (including persons the Company has reason to believe are affiliated with each other) shall be aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts indicated herein.
8.9 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms and interpreted so as to give effect, to the fullest extent consistent with and permitted by applicable law, to the meaning and intention of the excluded provision.
8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and any Transaction Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, binding and enforceable against the parties so executing the same; it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Counterparts may also be delivered by facsimile or email transmission (in pdf format or the like, or signed with docusign, e-sign or any similar form of signature by electronic means) and any counterpart so delivered shall be sufficient to bind the parties to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, as an original.
