effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any
Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(k) Labor
Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees is a
member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company
or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries
believe that their relationships with their employees are good. To
the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or any
Subsidiary is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of
any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information
agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or
any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all
applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating
to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
12
(l)
Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree, or
order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or
has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state
and local laws applicable to its business, except in each case as would not have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure
to possess such permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”),
and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit,
except for such revocation or modification as would not have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Title to
Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and
marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for (i) Liens created under license or collaboration agreements
relating to the Company’s products or Intellectual Property Rights, (ii)Liens as
do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the
Company and the Subsidiaries and (iii) Liens for the payment of federal, state
or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in
accordance with GAAP and the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject
to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by
the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in
compliance, except where such non-compliance would not have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
13
(o) Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or
material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in
the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse
Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual
Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to
expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this
Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since
the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC
Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the
Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person,
except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are
enforceable. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable
security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of
their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the above, the Company participates in a
consortium which is supported by the OCS. The consent of the OCS will be
required for the transfer of know how developed in the framework of the
consortium or rights to manufacture based on and/or incorporating such know how
to third parties who are not members of the consortium.
(p) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been notified
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of
the officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge
of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other

agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, providing for
the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring
payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge
of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee
has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder,
member or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i)
payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement
for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee
benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the
Company.
14
(r) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal
Accounting Controls. The Company is in material compliance
with any and all requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 that are
applicable to the Company and effective as of the date hereof, and any and all
rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are
applicable to the Company and effective as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i)

intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company as of the
end of December 31, 2009 (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its Annual Report on Form
20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009 the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation
Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its
Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the

The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of
payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that
it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Requirements. The Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action

has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(w), the
Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice
from any Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are or have been listed or
quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(w), the
Company is in compliance with all such listing and maintenance
requirements.
(x) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a
result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the
Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(y) Disclosure. Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of (i) the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) the Concurrent Registered
Offering, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on
its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with
any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material,
non-public information. The Company understands and confirms

misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has
made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2
hereof.

Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of

securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company
are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency. Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder and the proceeds, if any, from the Concurrent Registered
Offering, the Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead
it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the
bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within 3 months from the
Closing Date.

the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary United States
federal and state income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns and
has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon. There are no
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be overdue by the Company by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any
Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of

(gg) Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no
Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any
of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further

Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the
independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company
and its representatives.

Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this
Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.13 hereof), it is

times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without
limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable
with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities
(if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests
in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being
conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging
activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction
Documents.
(ii) Regulation M
Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting

3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and
for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and
as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific
date therein):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is
recognized) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full
right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the
part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such
Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable
principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as
indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.
(b) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such
Purchaser of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and
will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of such Purchaser’s
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or
charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result
in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of such
Purchaser, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any
agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Purchaser
debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which such Purchaser is a party or
by which any property or asset of such Purchaser is bound or affected, or (iii)
conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental
authority to which such Purchaser is subject (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of such
Purchaser is bound or affected except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and
(iii), such as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on such Purchaser’s ability to perform in any material respect its
obligations under any Transaction Documents.
20
(c) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act,
the Israel Securities Law 1968, or any applicable state securities
law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act, the Israel Securities Law
1968, or any applicable state securities law, has no present
intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding
the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act, the
Israel Securities Law 1968, or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to
sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business.
(d) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities,
it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on the Closing date and on each
date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will (i) be an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, (ii) not be in Israel or an
Israeli citizen, corporation or resident, or controlled by an Israeli citizen,
corporation or resident, (iii) not be related to any officer or director of the
Company and (iv) not hold 5% or more of the Company's issued share capital or of
the voting rights in the Company. Such Purchaser is not required to
be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. In the
event that, upon the issuance of the Shares and/or the Warrant Shares to a
Purchaser, such Purchaser holds 5% or more of the Company's issued share capital
or of the voting rights in the Company, then, upon such issuance, such Purchaser
shall deliver to the Company an executed copy of an Undertaking towards the OCS
substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A or in any
other form required by the OCS.
(e) Experience of Such
Purchaser; Information. Such Purchaser, 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 Securities, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is
able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the
present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such
Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials
relating to the business, financial condition and results of operations of the
Company, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, that
have been requested by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any. Such
Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a significant degree of risk. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company participates in a consortium supported by the OCS and therefore the
consent of the OCS will be required for the transfer of know how developed in
the framework of the consortium or rights to manufacture based on and/or
incorporating such know how to third parties who are not members of the
consortium.
21
(f) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities
as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media
or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.
(g) Certain
Transactions
and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor
has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such
Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the
securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such
Purchaser first became aware of the transactions contemplated hereunder and
ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such
Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with
respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the
investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this
Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such
Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in
connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any
actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing
of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar
transactions in the future.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section
3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction
Document.

THIS
SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), 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 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. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN
WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE
501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH
SECURITIES.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be
subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the
pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such
pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party
of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of
the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list
of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
thereunder.
23
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including
the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such
security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such
Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or Warrant
Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such Shares and Warrant Shares and without volume or
manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the
Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal
opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by
the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If
all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an
effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or
if such Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is
then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144,
or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares or if
such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of
all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such
time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no
later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the
Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the
case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the
“Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate
representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to
legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the
Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the
Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to
a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for
each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary
Shares on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent)
delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c),
$5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days
after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend
Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing
herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the
Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as
required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right
to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief.
24
(e) If
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Purchaser a
certificate or the certificates representing the Shares or the Warrant Shares
without a restrictive legend on or before the Legend Removal Date, and if after
such date the Purchaser is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise), or the Purchaser’s brokerage firm otherwise
purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser
of the Shares or the Warrant Shares which the Purchaser anticipated receiving on
or before the Legend Removal Date (a “Delegended Shares
Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Purchaser the
amount, if any, by which (x) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y)
the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Shares or Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Purchaser times (2) the price at
which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and
(B) deliver to the Purchaser the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been
delivered had the Company timely complied with its delivery obligations
hereunder. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Delegended
Shares Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such
loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Purchaser’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
Ordinary Shares as required pursuant to the terms
hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
connection with a particular delivery by the Company of Shares or Warrant Shares
after the Legend Removal Date, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) the amount of damages as calculated under Section 4.1(d) and (ii)
the amount of damages as calculated under this Section 4.1(e).
(f) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the
Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if
Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in
compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges
that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s
reliance upon this understanding.
4.2 Furnishing of
Information;
Public Information.
(a) Until
the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the
Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to use commercially reasonable
efforts to 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 even if the Company
is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act.
25
(b) At
any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the
date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1)
and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the
Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information
requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information
Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies,
the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to
sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the
aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a
Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day
(pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the
earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such
time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers
to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The
payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)
are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure
Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid
on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such
Public Information Failure Payments are incurred
and (ii) the third (3rd)
Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information
Failure Payments is
cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information
Failure Payments in
a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid
in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual
damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the
right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief.
4.3 Integration. The
Company shall not 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 Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale
of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such
that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such
subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press
release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby
and of the Concurrent Registered Offering. The Company shall, within
four Business Days following the date hereof, file a Report on Form 6-K
disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and of the
Concurrent Registered Offering, which Form 6-K shall include the Transaction
Documents as exhibits thereto. From and after the issuance of such press
release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly
disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the
Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company and each
Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any
Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public
statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press
release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with
respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by
law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party
with prior notice of such public statement or
communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as
required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration
statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing
of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the
Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading
Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with
prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(b).
26
4.5 Shareholder Rights
Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or,
with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an
“Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar
anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan
or arrangement, solely by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction
Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the
Purchasers.
4.6 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and
conditions of (i) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and
(ii) the Concurrent Registered Offering, the Company covenants and agrees that
neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any
Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company
believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such
Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.7 Use of
Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached
hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for
the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of
trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior
practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares
Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in
violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
27
4.8 Indemnification of
Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section
4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other
Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who
controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a
functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a
“Purchaser
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 that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur due to
a claim by a third party as a result of or relating to any action instituted
against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their
respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate
of such Purchaser Parties, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such
Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Parties may have
with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Parties of state
or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Parties which
constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the
Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its
own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent
that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company
in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to
assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue
between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in
which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of no more than one such separate counsel for all Purchaser Parties entitled to
indemnification hereunder. The Company will not be liable to any
Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party
effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent
that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made
by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against
the Company and any liabilities that the Company may be subject to pursuant to
law. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle any claim or
proceeding, provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or
proceeding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Party, which will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that such consent
shall not be required if the settlement includes a full and unconditional
release satisfactory to the Purchaser Party from all liability arising or that
may arise out of such claim or proceeding and does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
Purchaser Party.
4.9 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. As
of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to
reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient
number of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue
Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of
the Warrants.
4.10 Listing of Ordinary Shares. The
Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on which
it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall
apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading
Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to
have the Ordinary Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will then
include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take
such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as
possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary
to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a
Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading
Market.
28
4.11 Subsequent Equity
Sales.
(a) From
the date hereof until thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or
announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary
Shares Equivalents.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance.
4.12 Equal Treatment of
Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of
any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction
Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to
the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision
constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and
negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the
Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 Certain
Transactions
and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the
other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its
behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the
period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section
4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press
release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the
information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure
Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges
and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of
the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from
effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with
applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the
initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall
have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the
issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a
multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above
shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio
manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by
this Agreement.
29
4.14 Form D; Blue Sky
Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy
thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at
the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the
United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request
of any Purchaser.
4.15 Capital
Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date,
the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or
reclassification of the Ordinary Shares without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares; provided, however, that this
Section 4.15 shall not apply solely in connection with any reverse stock
split conducted to meet or maintain compliance with the listing standards of any
Trading Market.
4.16 Acknowledgment of
Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the
Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, which
dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The
Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and
Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and
absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or
reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the
Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect
that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the
Company.

MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s
obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations
between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other

be binding on all Purchasers) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against

Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of
any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or

5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such
proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of

proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If
either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of
the Transaction Documents, then in addition to the obligations of the Company
under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall
be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other

of such action or proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and
the delivery of the Securities.
5.11 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each
other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction
Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option
under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the
Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall
be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise
notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise
price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such
Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant
(including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such
restored right).
32
5.14 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a
new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The
applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity)
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction
Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and
not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or
in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser
has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and
negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of
administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have
chosen to communicate with the Company through WS. WS does not
represent any of the Purchasers and only represents Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx
LLC. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same
terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by any of the
Purchasers.
33
5.18 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial
liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a
continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid
partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the
fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated
damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been
canceled.
5.19 Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a
Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on
the next succeeding Business Day.
5.20 Construction. The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed
and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each
and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction
Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the
Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.21 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY
OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
