ARTICLE IV 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES 
 OF THE PURCHASER 

The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to each of the Sellers that the information of Article IV is, as at the date hereof, and
will be as of the date of Closing, true and correct in every respect. 
 4.1 Purchaser’s Organization and Due Authorization. 

(a) The Purchaser is a company duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation. The Purchaser has the corporate capacity and right to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(b) The entering into of this Agreement and the performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and proceedings on the part of the Purchaser [subject to the approval of the issue of new shares of the Purchaser by the board of directors of the Purchaser and the issue of a report by the Purchaser’s auditor on the
assets to be contributed to the Purchaser’s capital]. This Agreement has been duly signed by the Purchaser and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 

(c) Neither the entering into of this Agreement, nor the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, nor the consummation of the
transactions provided for hereby does or will: 
 (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of the
Purchaser; 
 (ii) violate, conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, or constitute a default or event of default (or an event
which with notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default or event of default), under the terms of, any Contracts or Governmental Authorizations to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound; or 

  
 -16- 









 - strictly confidential - 

 

 (iii) constitute a violation by the Purchaser of any Laws or Judgments, except, in the case
of (ii) and (iii) above, for any such matters as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

4.2 Governmental Authorizations. No Governmental Authorization is required to be made or obtained by the Purchaser prior to the Closing
in connection with: (a) the entering into of this Agreement by the Purchaser, (b) the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, or (c) the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This
representation is made on the assumption that the Sellers’ representations and warranties under Articles 3.1 are true and correct. 

4.3 Financing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. The financing of the acquisition by the Purchaser of the Shares
(including, without limitation, equity contributions, shareholders’ loans or external financing) does not come from drug trafficking nor organized criminal activities and the Purchaser is in compliance with all applicable Laws relating to
anti-money laundering. 
 4.4 Purchaser’s Inquiry. 

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges that it (together with its advisors) has reviewed to its reasonable satisfaction the Available Documents, and
has been afforded the opportunity to discuss the same with senior management of the Company and has taken the same into account in the terms and conditions of its offer to acquire the Shares. In entering into this Agreement, the Purchaser has relied
upon its own review and analysis of the Available Documents and upon the representations and warranties of the Sellers expressly set forth in this Agreement (and in respect of which the Purchaser represents that it has no knowledge of any breach
that would entitle it to make today a Claim on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Sellers, for consequences already known, materialized and quantified). 

Thus, the terms and conditions for the Shares and the representations and warranties of the Sellers were negotiated after completion of such reviews. Inter
alia, save as provided in the introductory paragraph of Article III, the terms and conditions of such representations and warranties as well as the indemnification of Purchaser will hence under no circumstances be impacted, weakened or
lessened because said reviews were made or of their conclusions. 
 (b) The Purchaser further acknowledges that the representations and
warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement supersede any and all earlier representations, warranties or statements made by any directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors of the Sellers (collectively, the
“Agents”) regarding the Shares, the Company or any other matter referenced in Article III, and that the Sellers and the Agents shall have no liability in respect of any such earlier representations, warranties or statements.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the Sellers nor any of the Agents makes any representation or warranty, either express or implied, of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Shares, the Company or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby (including as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to the Purchaser or its representatives). 

(c) The Purchaser further acknowledges that none of the Sellers or any of the Agents makes any representation or warranty with respect to any
financial projections, business plans, budgets or forecasts (collectively, the “Projections”) relating to the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy
and accuracy of all Projections furnished to it, and shall not have any claim against any of the Sellers or any of the Agents with respect thereto.
