(ii) The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute an event of default under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material contract, agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or to which any of their properties or operations are subject, or result in the creation of any Encumbrances on the Ordinary Shares.

 

(c) Material Liabilities.

The Company has no liabilities with respect to the payment of any taxes (including any deficiencies, interest or penalties), except for taxes accrued but not yet due and payable.

 

(e) [Reserved]

 

(f) Regulation S. Each Seller is a non-U.S. person (as such term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) and is not acquiring the Ordinary Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. No Seller will, within forty (40) days, if permitted, or otherwise within six (6) months of the date of the transfer of the Ordinary Shares to the Seller, (i) make any offers or sales of the Shares in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, a U.S. person (in each case, as defined in Regulation S) other than in accordance with Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (ii) engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Shares unless in compliance with the Securities Act.

Further, any such sale of the Ordinary Shares in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Seller will not offer to sell or sell the Ordinary Shares in any jurisdiction unless the applicable Seller obtains all required consents, if any.

 

-5-

 

 

(g) Foreign Investors. Seller represents that they have satisfied themselves as to the full observance by Seller of the laws of the jurisdictions applicable to each Seller in connection with the purchase of the Ordinary Shares or the execution and delivery by each Seller of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Ordinary Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to the purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to any Seller’s purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Ordinary Shares. Each Seller’s receipt of, and continued beneficial ownership of, the Ordinary Shares will not violate any securities or other laws of any Seller’s jurisdiction applicable to such Seller.

 

(h) Experience of Seller. Each Seller, 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 Ordinary Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Each Seller is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Ordinary Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(j) No Registration. Seller understands that the Ordinary Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or applicable securities laws of any state or country and therefore the Ordinary Shares cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration requirements are available. Except as described in Section 4.2 herein, the Company shall be under no obligation to register the Ordinary Shares under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and any such registration shall be in the Company’s sole discretion.
