The Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.

The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings with the Commission and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to 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 of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares and (ii) 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.

The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Shares may not be resold or otherwise transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
(e)The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the subscription for or the issuance of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

(f)Dispositions.
(i)The Purchaser agrees that it will not, prior to the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below), if then prohibited by Law or regulation other than pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act:  (i) sell, offer to sell, solicit offers to buy, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any right with respect to (collectively, a “Disposition”) the Shares; or (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Disposition of the Shares by the Purchaser or an affiliate; provided, however, that the Purchaser may consummate any Disposition or any other transaction or transfer at any time so long as such Disposition, transfer or transaction does not violate applicable Law; provided, further, that the Company shall provide all assistance as required by Section 4.5 hereof.
(ii)The Purchaser agrees that it has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, engaged in any purchases or sales of the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that the Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)in the event that the applicable listing standards of the Trading Market on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares trade are satisfied, the Company shall prepare and file a listing application with such Trading Market for the Company’s Ordinary Shares (or such other Trading Market on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares are then listed and traded) to list all Shares covered by the Resale Registration Statement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Shares approved for listing on such Trading Market by the initial effective date of such Resale Registration Statement, subject only to official notice of issuance; and

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Resale Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act if the Company (x) determines in good faith that the Company’s ability to pursue or consummate a transaction would be materially adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Resale Registration Statement or other registration statement or (y) has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company,

(iii)take such further action as the Purchaser may reasonably request, including as applicable, providing instructions to the Transfer Agent for the Shares in order to facilitate a sale or transfer of the Shares, requesting its legal counsel to issue a legal opinion to such Transfer Agent for the shares if required by such Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or procuring the removal of any restrictive legend applicable to the Shares, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the
​

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.

5.11Rescission and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the 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 the 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.
5.12Replacement of Shares.
If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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 and customary and reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested.

have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Purchaser; or
(2)the Closing has not occurred within five (5) business days following the Closing Date for any reason;
provided, however, that, in the case of clause (ii) above, the Purchaser shall not then be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement if such breach has resulted in the circumstances giving rise to the Purchaser’s seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing.
(b)If this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.15(a), this Agreement with respect to the Company and the Purchaser shall forthwith become void and there shall be no further obligations on the part of the Company or the Purchaser or their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, except for rights and obligations that had accrued hereunder prior to such termination and the provisions of Section 5, which shall survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.15 shall be deemed (i) to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement, in either case, which may have arisen prior to termination of this Agreement.
