11.1. | Power. The Lender has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms thereof. |
11.2. | Enforceability. The Transaction Agreements to be executed by such Lender, when executed and delivered by such Lender on the Initial Closing or the Second Closing, as the case may be, shall constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such Lender. If such Lender is a corporate entity, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by such Lender will not conflict with or result in a violation of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of such Lender's governing instruments. |
11.3. | Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations of such Lender hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, if such Lender is a corporate entity, and will not violate any provision of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is party or by which it is bound, or any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to such Lender which would prevent the execution by such Lender of the Transaction Documents or the performance of its obligations thereunder. |
11.4. | Private Placement. The Lender hereby represents that the shares that may be issuable thereto upon conversion of the Secured Amount shall be acquired for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof. The Lender understands that such shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and the prospectus requirements of the laws of the State of Israel and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Lender to acquire such shares. At the time the Lender was offered such shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Lender, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Company, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Lender is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. The Lender shall not be purchasing such shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding such shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the Internet or presented at any seminar or meeting any other general advertisement. The Lender acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to: (i) ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering herein and the merits and risks of investing in the Company’s equity; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment and other transactions herein. The Lender agrees to the imprinting (or other evidence) of the following legend, together with such other legends as may be required by applicable law: |
12
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS SHARE CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR SIMILAR LAWS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION THEREUNDER, AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY OR OTHER COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
12. | Confidentiality. Each of the Lender(s) and the Company acknowledges that the (i) data and the information obtained by the Lender(s) from the Company or anyone on its behalf prior to or during the term of this Agreement (or after the term of the Agreement by virtue of rights granted under this Agreement) which relate to the Company and/or any Group Company and (ii) the terms and conditions more fully set forth in the Transaction Documents, shall be deemed “confidential information” pursuant to that certain Nondisclosure Agreement between the parties dated January 29, 2020. Each Lender other than the Lead Lender shall enter into a standard nondisclosure agreement in form satisfactory to the Company. Notwithstanding the above, in connection with reports to their shareholders and/or investors, the Lender(s) may, without first obtaining such written consent, make general statements regarding the nature and progress of the Company's business and provide non-confidential data and information. If the Company consents to disclosing non-public material information to a Lender’s shareholders and/or investors, such shareholders and/or investors shall agree to maintain such information in confidence and shall not trade the Company equity while (i) in possession of such non-public material information regarding the Company or (ii) such information has not been disclosed by the Company. Furthermore, the Lender(s) may disclose any data and information to their directors, officers employees and advisors on a need to know basis, provided that such recipients are bound by similar non-disclosure undertakings and prohibitions on trading as the Lender(s)’ undertakings with respect thereto. The Company and the Lead Lender (or the Majority Lender(s), if applicable) shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or similar public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any similar public statement, other than as required by law, without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement. The Lender(s) acknowledge that the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be “material contracts,” as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Investors further agree that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel. The Company acknowledges that the Agreement and Debenture (without appendices and exhibits) may be required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act as exhibits to Lead Lender’s Schedule 13D, which determination shall be determined solely by Lead Lender in consultation with its counsel. |
