3.                                      Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

 

The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Investor, that:

 

3.1                               The Company is a company duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted by it.

3.3                               The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to issue and sell the Shares. Notwithstanding the form of payment of the Cash Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.4, the Shares being purchased by the Investor hereunder will, upon issuance and delivery to the Investors, be duly authorized, validly issued and fully-paid and non-assessable, and will be owned by the Investor free of liens, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer other than (a) restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws, (b) restrictions on transfer under the lockup agreement entered into by the Investor and (c) any liens, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer that are created or imposed by the Investor.

3.4                               In connection with any sale of Ordinary Shares that will result in such Shares no longer being subject to the resale restrictions referred to in Section 4.1(2)(a) below, the Company will cooperate with the Investor and any underwriter(s) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of Ordinary Shares to be sold and not bearing any restrictive Securities Act legends; and to register on Ogier’s books and records such Ordinary Shares in such denominations and such names as the Investor or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two business days prior to such sale of Ordinary Shares; provided that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System.  For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law to close in the Cayman Islands, New York, Hong Kong or mainland China.

 

3.5                               The entry into and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Company, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, or (iii) result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Company, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder.
