Committed Equity Facility

Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

On September 2, 2022, Tritium DCFC Limited (the “Company”) entered into an Ordinary Shares Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley Principal Capital II”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II up to $75,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Sales of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement.

Upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to B. Riley Principal Capital II’s subscription and purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), including that a registration statement registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II of Ordinary Shares issued to it by the Company under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company agreed to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion over the 24-month period from and after the Commencement, to direct B. Riley Principal Capital II to subscribe for and purchase a specified maximum amount of Ordinary Shares, not to exceed certain limitations as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (each, a “VWAP Purchase”), by delivering written notice to B. Riley Principal Capital II prior to the commencement of trading of the Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on any trading day (the “Purchase Date”), so long as (i) the closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than a specified threshold price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) all Ordinary Shares subject to all prior VWAP Purchases and all prior Intraday VWAP Purchases (as defined below) by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement have been received by B. Riley Principal Capital II prior to the Company’s delivery of such applicable purchase notice to B. Riley Principal Capital II.

The per share purchase price that B. Riley Principal Capital II is required to pay for the Ordinary Shares in a VWAP Purchase effected by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares (the “VWAP”), calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, for the period (the “Purchase Valuation Period”) beginning at the official open (or “commencement”) of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase, and ending at the earliest to occur of (i) 3:59 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date or such earlier time publicly announced by the trading market as the official close of the regular trading session on such Purchase Date, (ii) such time that the total aggregate number (or volume) of the Ordinary Shares traded on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period (calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) reaches the applicable share volume maximum amount for such VWAP Purchase calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) such time that the trading price of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period (calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) falls below the applicable minimum price threshold for such VWAP Purchase specified by the Company in the applicable purchase notice for such VWAP Purchase, or if the Company does not specify a minimum price threshold in such purchase notice, a price equal to 75.0% of the closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase (the “Minimum Price Threshold”), less a fixed 3.0% discount to the VWAP for such Purchase Valuation Period.

In addition to the regular VWAP Purchases described above, after the Commencement, the Company will also have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to direct B. Riley Principal Capital II to subscribe for and purchase, on any trading day, including the same Purchase Date on which a regular VWAP Purchase is effected (as applicable), a specified amount of Ordinary Shares, not to exceed certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement that are similar to those that apply to a regular VWAP Purchase (each, an “Intraday VWAP Purchase”), by the delivery to B. Riley Principal Capital II of an irrevocable written purchase notice, after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, and prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date.


The per share purchase price for the Ordinary Shares that the Company elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II in an Intraday VWAP Purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of a regular VWAP Purchase (including the same fixed percentage discounts to the applicable VWAP as in the case of a regular VWAP Purchase, as described above), provided that the VWAP for each Intraday VWAP Purchase effected on a Purchase Date will be calculated over different Purchase Valuation Periods on such Purchase Date, each of which will commence and end at different times on such Purchase Date (the “Intraday Purchase Valuation Period”).

There is no upper limit on the price per share that B. Riley Principal Capital II could be obligated to pay for the Ordinary Shares the Company may elect to sell to it in any VWAP Purchase or any Intraday VWAP Purchase under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per Ordinary Share that the Company may elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II in a VWAP Purchase and an Intraday VWAP Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split, reverse share split or other similar transaction occurring during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for such VWAP Purchase or during the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for such Intraday VWAP Purchase.

From and after Commencement, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Ordinary Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II. Actual sales of Ordinary Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.

The Company shall not allot, issue or sell any Ordinary Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Ordinary Shares then beneficially owned by B. Riley Principal Capital II and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in B. Riley Principal Capital II beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The net proceeds from sales, if any, under the Purchase Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells Ordinary Shares. To the extent the Company sells shares under the Purchase Agreement, the Company currently plans to use any proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, other than a prohibition (with certain limited exceptions) on entering into a “Dilutive Issuance” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) during the period beginning two (2) trading days in advance of a Purchase Date (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and ending five (5) trading days following the settlement and issuance of shares in connection with such Purchase Date.

B. Riley Principal Capital II has agreed not to engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own principal account or for the principal account of its sole member, any of their respective officers, or any entity controlled by B. Riley Principal Capital II or its sole member, any short sales of the Ordinary Shares or hedging transaction that establishes a net short position in the Ordinary Shares during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for the purposes of such agreements, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 24-month anniversary after the Commencement, (ii) the date on which B. Riley Principal Capital II shall have subscribed for and purchased $75,000,000 of Ordinary Shares from the Company under the Purchase


Agreement, (iii) the date on which the Ordinary Shares shall have failed to be listed or quoted on a U.S. national securities exchange for a period of one trading day, (iv) the thirtieth trading day following the date on which the Company commences a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, and (v) the date on which a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon ten trading days’ prior written notice to B. Riley Principal Capital II. The Company and B. Riley Principal Capital II may also agree to terminate the Purchase Agreement by mutual written consent, provided that no termination of the Purchase Agreement will be effective during the pendency of any VWAP Purchase or any Intraday VWAP Purchase that has not then fully settled in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Neither the Company nor B. Riley Principal Capital II may assign or transfer its respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.

As consideration for B. Riley Principal Capital II’s commitment to subscribe for and purchase Ordinary Shares at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 112,236 Ordinary Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II. Furthermore, the Company has agreed to reimburse B. Riley Principal Capital II, within ten (10) trading days of the execution of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, an amount up to $100,000, exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses, for B. Riley Principal Capital II’s preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the transaction documents and legal due diligence of the Company.

The securities that have been and may be issued by the Company to B. Riley Principal Capital II pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are being issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company is relying on these exemption from registration in part on representations made by B. Riley Principal Capital II in the Purchase Agreement.

Debt Facility and Warrants

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement

On September 2, 2022, Tritium Pty Ltd (as borrower) and the Company, among others, entered into a Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement (the “LNSA”) with HealthSpring Life & Health Insurance Company, Inc, Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company, Barings Target Yield Infrastructure Debt Holdco 1 S.À R.L., Martello Re Limited and REL Batavia Partnership, L.P. (the “Facility A Lenders”), for a principal amount of $150.0 million (“Facility A”), subject to certain conditions, to, among other purposes, refinance the existing $90.0 million Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement of December 7, 2021 and provide additional funding for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The LNSA includes an accordion mechanism by which Tritium Pty Ltd may, subject to certain conditions, seek commitments from any Facility A Lender or any of their respective nominees for a single additional USD term loan of up to $10.0 million in aggregate on equivalent terms to Facility A (once committed, such loan being the “Accordion Facility”) which is to be utilized only after Facility A has been fully drawn. The effective date under the Accordion Facility must occur by 30 days from (and including) the first Utilisation Date (as defined in the LNSA) under Facility A. Facility A and, if committed and made available, the Accordion Facility both become due 36 months after the first Utilisation Date for Facility A. The debt funding under the LNSA is subject to certain financial covenants. Interest on borrowings for each Facility under the LNSA is subject to an interest rate of 8.50% per annum and accrued interest is payable quarterly, with any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding on the termination date thereof (or earlier date that the Facility (or Facilities, as applicable) under the LNSA are repaid) being payable on such date.

Subscription and Registration Rights Agreement and Warrant Agreement

In connection with the financing transactions contemplated by the LNSA, on September 2, 2022, the Company issued to the Facility A Lenders or their affiliates (the “Holders”) an aggregate of 2,030,840 warrants to subscribe for and purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Warrants”) pursuant to the Subscription and Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 2, 2022 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company and the parties listed under Holder on the signature pages thereto, and the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2022 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and among the Company, Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company.

The Subscription Agreement provides for the grant of the Warrants with the terms and conditions described in the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant Agreement. The Subscription Agreement also contains certain registration rights granted by the Company to the Holders. The Holders were initially granted an aggregate of 2,030,840 Warrants on September 2, 2022, which was determined by multiplying (i) by (ii), where: (i) is the quotient of (x) $14,500,000 divided by (y) the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the thirty (30) trading days preceding, but excluding, the date that the Utilisation Request (as defined in the LNSA) was submitted under the LNSA (the “Initial Share Price”); and (ii) is the sum of 1 plus the quotient of (A) the Exercise Price (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) divided by (B) the Initial Share Price. Based on the submission of the Utilisation Request under the LNSA on September 2, 2022, the Initial Share Price was determined to be $7.14 per share. Each Warrant will initially be exercisable for one Ordinary Share, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement, and will have an Exercise Price of $0.0001 per share. The Subscription Agreement also allows for a joinder to be executed for the issuance of up to 135,389 additional Warrants to new parties to the Subscription Agreement in connection with the exercise of the Accordion Facility under the LNSA.

The Subscription Agreement also provides for certain registration rights for the Holders. Namely, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Financial Close, the Company will file a resale registration statement with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense), pursuant to which the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) held by or issuable to the Holders will be registered for resale on a continuous basis, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the resale registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, the holders party thereto can demand the Company’s assistance with underwritten offerings. Such holders are entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.


The Warrant Agreement provides that the Warrants shall vest and become exercisable by each Holder as follows: (a) one third of the Warrants will vest and be immediately exercisable upon Financial Close; (b) one third of the Warrants will vest and be exercisable on the date that is nine (9) months after the date of the Financial Close; and (c) one third of the Warrants will vest and be exercisable on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date of the Financial Close.

The Warrants will be subject to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of certain events, including: (a) the closing price per Ordinary Share on the Nasdaq Stock Market over any consecutive fifteen (15)-day period following the date of the Financial Close is equal to or greater than, two times the Initial Share Price; (b) there is a material breach by the Company of the Warrant Agreement, the Subscription Agreement or the LNSA; (c) there is an Event of Default (as defined in the LNSA); or (d) a third party other than the Holders announces, or the Company announces, an intention to proceed with a transaction that would reasonably be likely to result in a Change of Control (as defined in the LNSA) or any other transaction having a substantially similar effect.

Under the Warrant Agreement, all unvested Warrants expire upon the earlier to occur of (a) the repayment of the loans under the LNSA and termination of the LNSA or (b) the termination of the LNSA in connection with the non-occurrence of Financial Close.

Vested Warrants are exercisable by the Holder by paying the Exercise Price for each Ordinary Share as to which the Warrant is exercised as well as any and all taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of such Ordinary Shares. The Warrant Agreement also provides for the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” whereby such number of Ordinary Shares that are issuable upon exercise of a Warrant with a fair market value (being the closing price of Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the exercise date) equal to the aggregate Exercise Price are withheld from issue. After one (1) year from the Financial Close, Holder are only permitted to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis.”

The Warrants contain certain value protection features including a Guaranteed Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) provision and customary anti-dilution provisions. The Guaranteed Value provision provides that within three (3) business days of receiving an exercise notice from a Holder, the Company shall calculate the value of the Ordinary Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of the Warrants (prior to any adjustment) using a formula incorporating the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the exercise date in order to determine the current Share Valuation (as defined in the Warrant Agreement). If the Share Valuation is less than the Guaranteed Value, the Company shall, on the issuance date of the subject Ordinary Shares, either: (a) pay the difference between the Share Valuation and the Guaranteed Value (the “Value Difference”) to such Holder or as it may direct, in cash; or (b) adjust the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on the issuance date to include additional Ordinary Shares to such Holder (“Additional Warrant Shares”), where such number of Additional Warrant Shares will be calculated as the Value Difference, divided by the 5-day VWAP (rounded up to the nearest whole Ordinary Share). The Guaranteed Value shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to such exercise by the Initial Share Price and by the percentage in the following table that corresponds to the last date before the relevant exercise date:

 

To and Including

   Percentage  

24 Months from Financial Close

     67

30 Months from Financial Close

     80

Thereafter

     100

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Share Valuation equals or exceeds the Guaranteed Value, there will be no adjustment to the number of Ordinary Shares issued or cash paid pursuant to the Guaranteed Value feature.


The customary anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement include provisions calling for adjustment of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, except in the case of an Excluded Issuance (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), upon, among other events, (a) the issuance or deemed issuance of Ordinary Shares by the Company without consideration or for consideration per share less than Initial Share Price, including through the issuance of options or convertible securities, a change in the terms or treatment of options or convertible securities, a change in the consideration received for the exercise of options or convertible securities, or the occurrence of certain dividends or distributions, among other things, (b) dividend, subdivision or combination of Ordinary Shares, or (c) reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger.

Under the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be transferred or assigned by a Holder except with the written consent of the Company (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding, a Holder may assign any Warrant and its rights and obligations under the Warrant Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without the consent of the Company; provided that such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant.

The Company shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the unvested issued Warrants upon notice to the Holders at a redemption price per Warrant equal to the Initial Share Price (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that any such redemption of Warrants hereunder shall be for a minimum aggregate Redemption Price of one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000) and shall be effected on a pro rata basis among all issued Warrants. The Company may only exercise the redemption right three (3) times.

The securities that have been and, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering such issuance, may be issued by the Company to the Holders pursuant to the Subscription Agreement have been and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, LNSA, Subscription Agreement and Warrant Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the text of the agreements, which have been included as exhibits to this Form 6-K.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of securities of the Company in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the parties agree as follows:

Section 3.1. VWAP Purchases. Upon the initial satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 (the “Commencement” and the date of initial satisfaction of all of such conditions, the “Commencement Date”) and from time to time thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its timely delivery to the Investor of a VWAP Purchase Notice for a VWAP Purchase, specifying therein whether such VWAP Purchase is (a) a VWAP Purchase-Type A (each such subscription and purchase, a “VWAP Purchase-Type A”) or (b) a VWAP Purchase-Type B (each such subscription and purchase, a “VWAP Purchase-Type B”), on the applicable Purchase Date therefor, to subscribe for and purchase a specified VWAP Purchase Share Amount, which shall not exceed the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, at the applicable VWAP Purchase Price therefor on such Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement. The Company may timely deliver to the Investor a VWAP Purchase Notice for a VWAP Purchase on any Trading Day selected by the Company as the Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase, so long as (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price, and (ii) all Shares subject to all prior VWAP Purchases and Intraday VWAP Purchases (as applicable) pursuant to this Agreement have been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares prior to the Company’s delivery to the Investor of such VWAP Purchase Notice for such VWAP Purchase on such Purchase Date. The Investor is obligated to accept each VWAP Purchase Notice prepared and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement. If the Company delivers any VWAP Purchase Notice directing the Investor to subscribe for and purchase a VWAP Purchase Share Amount in excess of

 

3


the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such VWAP Purchase Notice (taking into account whether the VWAP Purchase to be effected pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is specified by the Company as a VWAP Purchase-Type A or a VWAP Purchase-Type B), such VWAP Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the VWAP Purchase Share Amount set forth in such VWAP Purchase Notice exceeds such applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, and the Investor shall have no obligation to subscribe for and purchase, and shall not subscribe for and purchase, such excess Shares pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to subscribe for and purchase the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount pursuant to such VWAP Purchase. At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall provide to the Company, by email correspondence to each of the individual notice recipients of the Company set forth in the applicable VWAP Purchase Notice, a written confirmation for such VWAP Purchase setting forth the applicable VWAP Purchase Price per Share to be paid by the Investor for the Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase, and the total aggregate VWAP Purchase Price to be paid by the Investor for the total VWAP Purchase Share Amount subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any VWAP Purchase Notices to the Investor during the PEA Period, any Allowable Grace Period or any MPA Period.

Section 3.2. Intraday VWAP Purchases. Upon the initial satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 on the Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, in addition to VWAP Purchases as described in Section 3.1, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its timely delivery to the Investor of an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice for an Intraday VWAP Purchase, specifying therein whether such Intraday VWAP Purchase is (a) an Intraday VWAP Purchase-Type A (each such subscription and purchase, an “Intraday VWAP Purchase-Type A”) or (b) an Intraday VWAP Purchase-Type B (each such subscription and purchase, an “Intraday VWAP Purchase-Type B”), on the applicable Purchase Date therefor, to subscribe for and purchase a specified Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount, which shall not exceed the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, at the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Price therefor on such Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement. The Company may timely deliver to the Investor an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice for an Intraday VWAP Purchase on any Trading Day selected by the Company as the Purchase Date for such Intraday VWAP Purchase, so long as (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price, and (ii) all Shares subject to all prior VWAP Purchases and Intraday VWAP Purchases (as applicable) have been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares prior to the Company’s delivery to the Investor of such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice for such Intraday VWAP Purchase on such Purchase Date. The Investor is obligated to accept each Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice prepared and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement. If the Company delivers any Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice directing the Investor to subscribe for and purchase an Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount in excess of the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice (taking into account whether the Intraday VWAP Purchase to be effected pursuant to such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice is specified by the Company as an Intraday VWAP Purchase-Type A or an

 

4


Intraday VWAP Purchase-Type B), such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount set forth in such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice exceeds such applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, and the Investor shall have no obligation to subscribe for and purchase, and shall not subscribe for and purchase, such excess Shares pursuant to such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to subscribe for and purchase the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount pursuant to such Intraday VWAP Purchase. At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date for a VWAP Purchase on which one or more Intraday VWAP Purchases also shall have occurred, the Investor shall provide to the Company, by email correspondence to each of the individual notice recipients of the Company set forth in the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice, a written confirmation for each such Intraday VWAP Purchase, setting forth the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Price per Share to be paid by the Investor for the Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such Intraday VWAP Purchase, and the total aggregate Intraday VWAP Purchase Price to be paid by the Investor for the total Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such Intraday VWAP Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any Intraday VWAP Purchase Notices to the Investor during the PEA Period, any Allowable Grace Period or any MPA Period.

Section 3.3. Settlement. The Shares constituting the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in each VWAP Purchase, and the Shares constituting the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in each Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable), in each case shall be allotted, issued and delivered to the Investor as DWAC Shares not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase and for each such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable) (the “Purchase Share Delivery Date”). For (a) each VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the total number of Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase and (2) the applicable VWAP Purchase Price for such Shares, as full payment for such Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase, and (b) each Intraday VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the total number of Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such Intraday VWAP Purchase and (2) the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Price for such Shares, as full payment for such Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such Intraday VWAP Purchase, in each case via wire transfer of immediately available funds, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable Purchase Share Delivery Date for such VWAP Purchase and for each such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable), provided the Investor shall have timely received, as DWAC Shares, all of such Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase and Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable) on such Purchase Share Delivery Date in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.3, or, if any of such Shares are received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, then the Company’s receipt of such funds in its designated bank account shall occur on the Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which the Investor shall have received all of such Shares as DWAC Shares, but not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such next Trading Day. If the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason, other than a failure of the Investor or its broker-dealer to set up a DWAC and required instructions, to allot, issue and deliver to the Investor, as DWAC Shares, any Shares subscribed for and purchased by

 

5


the Investor in a VWAP Purchase or an Intraday VWAP Purchase prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable Purchase Share Delivery Date for such VWAP Purchase and for each such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable), and if on or after such Trading Day the Investor subscribes for and purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company on such Purchase Share Delivery Date in respect of such VWAP Purchase or such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable), then the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day after the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so subscribed for and purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to allot, issue and deliver such Shares as DWAC Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to allot, issue and deliver to the Investor such Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cover Price over the total purchase price paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement for all of the Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Ordinary Shares to the Investor in connection with any VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase effected pursuant to this Agreement. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Ordinary Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Ordinary Shares up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments to be made by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice to the Investor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 3.4. Exemption From Certain Trading Market Requirements; Australian Corporations Act Limitation.

(a) Exemption From Certain Trading Market Shareholder Approval Requirements. The Company has taken all actions, provided all such notices and disclosures, and obtained all consents, approvals, waivers or confirmations required under applicable listing rules of the Trading Market, including, without limitation, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5613, such that the shareholder approval requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d) shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Corporations Act Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not allot, issue or sell any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not subscribe for, acquire or purchase any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in which the Investor would have a “relevant interest” (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) would exceed the maximum number of Ordinary Shares in which the Investor may have a “relevant interest” (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) without (i) violating Section 606 of the Corporations Act or (ii) obtaining shareholder approval under Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act (such maximum number of Ordinary Shares, the “Corporations Act Limitation”), unless and until the Company elects to solicit shareholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the shareholders of the Company have in fact approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the

 

6


Corporations Act and the Company Organizational Documents, or another exception to the prohibitions in Section 606 of the Corporations Act is then applicable under Section 611 of the Corporations Act, as confirmed to the Investor in writing by the Company’s outside Australian counsel, that permits the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Corporations Act Limitation.

(c) General. The Company shall not, allot issue or sell any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement if such allotment, issuance or sale would reasonably be expected to result in (A) a violation of the Securities Act or the Corporations Act or (B) a breach of the rules of the Trading Market. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.4 only if necessary to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, the Corporations Act and the applicable rules of the Trading Market.

Section 3.5. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not allot, issue or sell, and the Investor shall not subscribe for, purchase or acquire, any Ordinary Shares under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Ordinary Shares then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day on which the Company’s transfer agent is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required under this Section 3.5 and the application of this Section 3.5. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.5 to the extent necessary to properly give effect to the limitations contained in this Section 3.5.

Section 3.6. Application for Shares. This Agreement serves as an application by the Investor for the allotment of the Ordinary Shares subscribed for and purchased by the Investor on the applicable Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase and Intraday VWAP Purchase pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly it will not be necessary for the Investor to provide a separate (additional) application for such Ordinary Shares on the applicable Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase and Intraday VWAP Purchase pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE INVESTOR

The Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Company:

The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, and no further consent or authorization of the Investor, its officers or its sole member is required. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application (including any limitation of equitable remedies).

Section 4.3. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not (i) result in a violation of such Investor’s certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or other applicable organizational instruments, (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give rise to any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Investor is a party or is bound, (iii) create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Investor under any agreement or any commitment to which the Investor is party or under which the Investor is bound or under which any of its properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Investor or by which any of its properties or assets are bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with, in any material respect, the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The Investor is not required under any applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or to subscribe for and purchase or acquire the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, other than as may be required by FINRA; provided, however, that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the Investor is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and warranties and the compliance with the relevant covenants and agreements of the Company in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

8


Section 4.4. Investment Purpose. The Investor is acquiring the Securities for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, in violation of the Securities Act, any applicable state securities laws or any applicable Australian laws; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with, or pursuant to, a registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or an applicable exemption under the Securities Act. The Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to sell or distribute any of the Securities. The Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

Section 4.5. Accredited Investor Status. The Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. If the Investor is located in Australia, the Investor represents and warrants that it is a person who falls within an exempt offer category in section 708 of the Corporations Act (including “sophisticated investors” or “professional investors” within the meaning of section 708(8) and 708(11) respectively of the Corporations Act.

Section 4.6. Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of U.S. federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities.

Section 4.7. Information. All materials relating to the business, financial condition, management and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Investor have been furnished or otherwise made available to the Investor or its advisors, including, without limitation, the Commission Documents. The Investor understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities, including a total loss thereof, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a proposed investment in the Securities. The Investor and its advisors have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the financial condition and business of the Company and other matters relating to an investment in the Securities. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party or the Investor’s right to rely on any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the opinions of the Company’s counsel delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1(iv), 7.2(xvi) and 7.3(x)). The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liabilities that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

9


Section 4.8. No Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no U.S. federal or state agency, Australian agency or any other government or Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

Section 4.9. No General Solicitation. The Investor is not purchasing or acquiring the Securities as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

Section 4.10. Not an Affiliate. The Investor is not an officer, director or an Affiliate of the Company. Immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Investor did not beneficially own any Ordinary Shares or securities exercisable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares. During the Investment Period, the Investor will not acquire for its own account any Ordinary Shares or securities exercisable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares, other than pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or be deemed to prohibit the Investor from purchasing, in an open market transaction or otherwise, Ordinary Shares necessary to make delivery by the Investor in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company in connection with the settlement of a VWAP Purchase or an Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable) if the Company or its transfer agent shall have failed for any reason (other than a failure of the Investor or its Broker-Dealer to set up a DWAC and required instructions) to electronically transfer all of the Shares subject to such VWAP Purchase or such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable) to the Investor on the applicable Purchase Share Delivery Date by crediting the Investor’s or its designated Broker-Dealer’s account at DTC through its DWAC delivery system in compliance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction does not apply to any Affiliate of the Investor, provided that any such purchases do not cause the Investor to violate any applicable Exchange Act requirement, including Regulation M.

Section 4.11. No Prior Short Sales.

Section 5.2. Authorization, Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

The Company expressly acknowledges the benefits it receives from the Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, on the one hand, and the Investor’s Affiliates’ activities, if any, on behalf of the Company unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, on the other hand, and understands the conflict or potential conflict of interest that may arise in this regard, and has consulted with such independent advisors as it deems appropriate in order to understand and assess the risks associated with these potential conflicts of interest. Consistent with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, applicable Affiliates of the Investor have adopted policies and procedures to establish and maintain the independence of their research departments and personnel from their investment banking groups and the Investor.

Section 6.3. Registration and Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Ordinary Shares to continue to be registered as a class of securities under Sections 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and to comply with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Ordinary Shares and the listing of the Securities subscribed for and purchased or acquired by the Investor hereunder on the Trading Market (or another Eligible Market) and to comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market (or other Eligible Market, as applicable).

(ii) The Investor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and its investment in the Securities, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in

 

31


any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M thereunder, the rules and regulations of FINRA, and all applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 6.5. Keeping of Records and Books of Account; Due Diligence.

(i) The Investor and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Total Commitment, the remaining Aggregate Limit, the dates and VWAP Purchase Share Amount for each VWAP Purchase, and the dates and Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount for each Intraday VWAP Purchase.

Section 6.6. No Frustration; No Dilutive Issuances During Purchases; No Other Similar Transactions.

(i) No Frustration. The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its shareholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver (i) the Commitment Shares to the Investor not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date in accordance with Section 10.1(ii), and (ii) the Shares to the Investor in respect of each VWAP Purchase and each Intraday VWAP Purchase effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, in each case not later than the applicable Purchase Share Delivery Date with respect to such VWAP Purchase and such Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable) in accordance with Section 3.3. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.6(i) shall in any way limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2 (subject in all cases to Section 8.3).

(ii) No Dilutive Issuances Before Settlement of a Pending VWAP Purchase or Pending Intraday VWAP Purchase. None of the Company or any Subsidiary shall allot, issue, sell or grant any right, option or warrant to purchase, or allot issue, sell or grant any right to reprice (or reset the purchase price therefor), or otherwise dispose of for cash (or enter into any agreement, plan or arrangement contemplating any of the foregoing, or seek to utilize any existing agreement, plan or arrangement to effect any of the foregoing), or announce any offer, allotment, issuance, sale or grant of any option or warrant to purchase or other disposition for cash (or any agreement, plan or arrangement therefor), at any time (i) during the period beginning on the second (2nd)

 

32


Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date for a VWAP Purchase and ending on the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of full settlement thereof and the issuance to the Investor of all of the Shares that are issuable to the Investor pursuant to such VWAP Purchase, and (ii) during the period beginning on the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date for an Intraday VWAP Purchase and ending on the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of full settlement thereof and the issuance to the Investor of all of the Shares that are issuable to the Investor pursuant to such Intraday VWAP Purchase (each such period specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above, a “Reference Period”), any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, at an effective price per Ordinary Share less than the applicable VWAP Purchase Price per Share for such VWAP Purchase, or the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Price per Share for such Intraday VWAP Purchase, as the case may be (each such price, the “Reference Price”) to be paid by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or such Intraday VWAP Purchase, as the case may be, effected during such Reference Period (each such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), other than an Exempt Issuance (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Ordinary Shares at an effective price per Ordinary Share that is less than the applicable Reference Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the applicable Reference Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price). If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction involving the issuance of Ordinary Shares Equivalents having a conversion price, exercise price, exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such Ordinary Shares Equivalents, the Company shall be deemed to have issued, as of the date the Ordinary Shares Equivalents were issued (whether or not such Ordinary Shares Equivalents are then immediately exercisable or convertible), the Ordinary Shares underlying such Ordinary Shares Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such Ordinary Shares Equivalents may be converted or exercised for Ordinary Shares (and if such Ordinary Shares Equivalents include a “floor price” representing the lowest conversion or exercise price at which such Ordinary Shares Equivalents may be converted or exercised, the Company shall be deemed to have issued the Ordinary Shares underlying such Ordinary Shares Equivalents at a price equal to such floor price). The Investor shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the Company, and any Subsidiary (as applicable) to preclude any such Dilutive Issuance that does not constitute an Exempt Issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(iii) No Other Similar Transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement until the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (subject in all cases to Section 8.3), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall allot, issue, sell or grant any, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or enter into any agreement, plan or arrangement contemplating any of the foregoing, or seek to utilize any existing agreement, plan or arrangement to effect any of the foregoing), or announce any offer, allotment, issuance, sale or grant or other disposition or issuance (or any agreement, plan or arrangement therefor) any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) in any “equity line of credit” or “at the market offering” or other continuous offering or similar offering of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, whereby the Company may sell Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares

 

33


Equivalents at a future determined price, other than (a) Securities issued to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, or pursuant to any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Investor or any of its Affiliates at any time after the date of termination of this Agreement or (b) any Exempt Issuance.

Section 6.7. [Reserved].

Section 6.8. Fundamental Transaction. If a VWAP Purchase Notice or an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice has been delivered to the Investor and the transactions contemplated therein have not yet been fully settled in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, the Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction until the expiration of five (5) Trading Days following the date of full settlement thereof and the issuance to the Investor of all of the Shares that are issuable to the Investor pursuant to the VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable) to which such VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice (as applicable) relates.

Section 6.9. Selling Restrictions.

(i) Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the Closing Date through and including the Trading Day next following the expiration or termination of this Agreement as provided in Article VIII (the “Restricted Period”), none of the Investor, its sole member, any of their respective officers, or any entity managed or controlled by the Investor or its sole member (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or effect any Short Sales of the Ordinary Shares or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Ordinary Shares, with respect to each of clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, either for its own account or for the account of any other Restricted Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Securities; or (2) selling a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Shares that the Investor is unconditionally obligated to subscribe for and purchase under a pending VWAP Purchase Notice and/or under any one or more pending Intraday VWAP Purchase Notices, but has not yet received from the Company or its transfer agent pursuant to this Agreement, so long as (X) the Investor (or its Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers the Shares subscribed for and purchased pursuant to such pending VWAP Purchase Notice and the Shares subscribed for and purchased pursuant to such pending Intraday VWAP Purchase Notices (as applicable) to the purchaser thereof promptly upon the Investor’s receipt of such Shares from the Company in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement and (Y) neither the Company or its transfer agent shall have failed for any reason to deliver such Shares to the Investor or its Broker-Dealer so that such Shares are timely received by the Investor as DWAC Shares on the applicable Purchase Share Delivery Date for such VWAP Purchase and for such Intraday VWAP Purchases (as applicable) in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

The Investor shall, from time to time, provide the Company and the Company’s transfer agent with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably requested by the Company. The Investor shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer (if any), which shall not exceed customary brokerage fees and commissions and shall be responsible for designating only a DTC participant eligible to receive DWAC Shares.

Section 6.14. FINRA Filing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Commencement Date shall not occur, unless and until BRS shall have received written confirmation from FINRA to the effect that FINRA’s Corporate Financing Department has determined not to raise any objection with respect to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1. Indemnification of Investor. In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation) (collectively, “Damages”) that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against such Investor Party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, other than claims for indemnification within the scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from a breach of any of the Investor’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and (y) the Company shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this Section 9.1 to the extent, but only to the extent, that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from which no further appeals are available) that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful or reckless misconduct.

The Company shall reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of sufficiently detailed documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other any action, suit, claim or proceeding,

 

49


whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1; provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal and other costs and expenses to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.

An Investor Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor Party. Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under applicable law.

Section 9.2. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the Investor Party, it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Investor Party. In such event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

The remedies provided for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably designated and appointed Cogency Global Inc.

The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Agent for Service in full force and effect so long as any Ordinary Shares remain available for issuance by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Securities are held by the Investor. Each of the Company and the Investor hereby consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement (or, in the case of the Company, to the Agent for Service) and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(iii) EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercises thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 10.7. Headings. The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

Section 10.8. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has 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. In addition, each and every reference to share prices (including the Threshold Price) and number of Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall, in all cases, be subject to adjustment for any share splits, share combinations, share dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement.

Section 10.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Article IX, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

Section 10.11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law statute, rule or regulation of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.12. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article V (Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company), Article VIII (Termination), Article IX (Indemnification) and this Article X (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely notwithstanding such termination, and, (ii) so long as the Investor owns any Securities, the covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in Article VI (Additional Covenants), shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of six (6) months following such termination.

Section 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file, including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com, www.echosign.adobe.com, etc., shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to submit for review any such disclosure (i) contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure to the Investor or its counsel for review in connection with a previous filing or (ii) any Prospectus Supplement if it contains disclosure that does not reference the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company agrees and acknowledges that its failure to comply with this provision in all material respects constitutes a Material Adverse Effect for purposes of Section 7.2(xi) and Section 7.3(i).

 

57


Section 10.15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 10.16. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.17. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees to indemnify the Investor and all of its Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors, against any loss incurred by the Investor as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

If the Staff or the Commission seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(c), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the Commission to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement (after consultation with the Investor and Legal Counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the Commission shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the Commission does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), the Company shall not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) request the withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act, and the Effectiveness Deadline shall automatically be deemed to have elapsed with respect to such Registration Statement at such time as the Staff or the Commission has made a final and non-appealable determination that the Commission will not permit such Registration Statement to be so utilized (unless prior to such time the Company has received assurances from the Staff or the Commission that a New Registration Statement filed by the Company with the Commission promptly thereafter may be so utilized). In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more New Registration Statements with the Commission in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the Prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Investor.

(f) Any Registrable Security shall cease to be a “Registrable Security” at the earliest of the following: (i) when a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement; and (ii) the date that is the later of (A) the first (1st) anniversary of the effective date of termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement and (B) the first (1st) anniversary of the date of the last sale of any Registrable Securities by the Company to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

(g) Statutory Underwriter Status. The Investor acknowledges that it will be disclosed as an “underwriter” and a “selling shareholder” in each Registration Statement and in any Prospectus contained therein to the extent required by applicable law and to the extent the Prospectus is related to the resale of Registrable Securities by the Investor.

3. Related Obligations.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

6


(a) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof and one or more New Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof with respect to the Registrable Securities, but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline therefor, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline therefor. Subject to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investor on a continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and (ii) the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement if as of such termination date the Investor holds no Registrable Securities (or, if applicable, the date on which such securities cease to be Registrable Securities after the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the provisions of Section 3(p) hereof), the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of Prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The Company shall submit to the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act.

(b) Subject to Section 3(p) of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with each such Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein current and available for use) at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that (i) at or before 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement and any New Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto), the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment thereto), and (ii) if the transactions contemplated by any one or more VWAP Purchases and/or any one or more Intraday VWAP Purchases are material to the Company (individually or collectively), the material terms of which have not previously been described in

the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (or in any periodic report, statement, schedule or other document filed by the Company with the Commission under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus), or if otherwise required under the Securities Act (or the public written interpretive guidance of the Staff of the Commission relating thereto), in each case as reasonably and mutually determined by the Company and the Investor, then, no later than (i) 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase(s) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable on the Purchase Date for such Intraday VWAP Purchase(s), the Company shall file with the Commission a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with respect to such VWAP Purchase(s) and such Intraday VWAP Purchase(s) (as applicable) requiring such filing, disclosing the total number of Shares that are to be issued and sold to the Investor pursuant to such VWAP Purchase(s) and Intraday VWAP Purchase(s) (as applicable), the total purchase price for the Shares subject thereto, the applicable purchases price(s) for such Shares and the estimated net proceeds that to be received by the Company from the sale of such Shares. To the extent not previously disclosed in the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall disclose in its quarterly financial reporting on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and in its Annual Reports on Form 20-F filed by the Company with the Commission under the Exchange Act the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to all VWAP Purchase(s) and all Intraday VWAP Purchase(s) (as applicable) effected and settled during the relevant fiscal quarter and shall file such Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and Annual Reports on Form 20-F with the Commission within the applicable time period prescribed for such report under the Exchange Act. In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement on Form F-1 or Prospectus related thereto which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K or Annual Report on Form 20-F or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus, if applicable, or shall promptly file such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus with the Commission, for the purpose of including or incorporating such report into such Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter as such Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with resales of Registrable Securities.

(c) The Company shall (A) permit the Investor and Legal Counsel an opportunity to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least two (2) Business Days prior to its filing with the Commission and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, the Prospectus contained therein) (except for Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and Annual Reports on Form 20-F, and any similar or successor reports or Prospectus Supplements the contents of which is limited to that set forth in such reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the Commission, and (B) shall reasonably consider any comments of the Investor and Legal Counsel on any such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or to any Prospectus contained

therein. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) electronic copies of any correspondence from the Commission or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration Statement (which correspondence shall be redacted to exclude any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to Legal Counsel to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.

(d) Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Investor, without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, at least one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, all exhibits thereto, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any final Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement thereto, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to the Investor to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.

(e) The Company shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “Blue Sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(f) The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject to Section 3(p), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such Prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver one (1) electronic copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and the Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and the Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness), and when the Company receives written notice from the Commission that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the Commission, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related Prospectus. The Company shall also advise the Investor promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) and shall confirm such advice in writing of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement made in the FINRA Filing untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in the FINRA Filing in order to comply with FINRA Rules 5110 and 5121. The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto. Nothing in this Section 3(f) shall limit any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement.

(g) The Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible time and (ii) notify Legal Counsel and the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding.

(h) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state or Australian laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such

 

10


information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(i) Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on the Trading Market, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement on another Eligible Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(i).

(j) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of Registrable Securities, as DWAC Shares, to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such DWAC Shares to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time and registered in such names as the Investor may request. Investor hereby agrees that it shall cooperate with the Company, its counsel and its transfer agent in connection with any issuances of DWAC Shares, and hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that that it will resell such DWAC Shares only pursuant to the Registration Statement in which such DWAC Shares are included, in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in such Registration Statement, and in a manner in compliance with all applicable Australian laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. DWAC Shares shall be issued in electronic form, shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale and without stop transfer instructions maintained against the transfer thereof, and may be credited by the Company’s transfer agent to the Investor’s (or its designee’s) specified DWAC account with DTC under its Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, or any similar program hereafter adopted by DTC performing substantially the same function, as directed in writing by the Investor.

(k) Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice from the Investor and subject to Section 3(p) hereof, (i) incorporate in a Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or Prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by the Investor.

 

 

11


(l) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The Company is not required to lodge a prospectus in Australia under the laws of Australia, including, without limitation, Australian securities laws and the Corporations Act, with respect to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company to the Investor pursuant to, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, or with respect to the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or to enable the resale of such Registrable Securities. The Company has not engaged, and shall not engage, in any form of solicitation, advertising or any other action constituting an offer or sale under Australian securities laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement which would require the Company to publish a prospectus in Australia under applicable Australian securities laws.

(m) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders (which may be satisfied by making such information available on EDGAR) as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.

(n) The Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission in connection with any registration hereunder.

(o) Within one (1) Business Day after each Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in a form reasonably satisfactory to the transfer agent, legal counsel for the Company and legal counsel for the Investor.

(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(p)), prior to the Effective Date of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may, upon written notice to the Investor, delay the initial effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or, at any time after the Effective Date of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may, upon written notice to Investor, suspend Investor’s use of any prospectus that is a part of any Registration Statement (in which event the Investor shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, but shall settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if the Company (x) is pursuing an acquisition, merger, tender offer, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the Company determines in good faith that (A) the Company’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement or other registration statement or (B) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause any Registration Statement (or such filings) to be used by Investor or to promptly amend or supplement any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement on a post effective basis, as applicable, or (y) has experienced some other material non-public event the

 

12


disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would materially adversely affect the Company (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Investor be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement for a period that exceeds twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days or an aggregate of sixty (60) Trading Days in any 365-day period; and provided, further, the Company shall not effect any such suspension during (A) the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after the Effective Date of the particular Registration Statement or (B) the five-Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase and for each Intraday VWAP Purchase (as applicable). Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice, but in any event within one Business Day of such disclosure or termination, to the Investor and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement (including as set forth in the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(p), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which (i) the Company has made a sale to Investor and (ii) the Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the Prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, in each case prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of an Allowable Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

4. Obligations of the Investor.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement (or such shorter period to which the parties agree), the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from the Investor with respect to such Registration Statement, and the Investor shall (i) promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and (ii) promptly execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(b) The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder.

(c) The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(p) or the first sentence of 3(f), the Investor shall immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(p) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(p) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

13


(d) The Investor covenants and agrees that it shall comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

5. Expenses of Registration.

All expenses of the Company incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company. Except as provided under Section 10.1(i) of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to reimburse the Investor for any expenses of the Investor incurred in connection with such registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including sales and brokerage commissions incurred by the Investor in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

6. Indemnification.

(a) In the event any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party” and collectively, the “Investor Parties”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any Prospectus Supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made

 

14


therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor Party for such Investor Party expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); (ii) shall not be available to the Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected Prospectus, if such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected Prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor shall reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed

 

15


the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Party or the Company Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or such Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). The Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof. Following

 

16


indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that any Person receiving any payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall promptly reimburse the Person making such payment for the amount of such payment to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person receiving such payment was not entitled to such payment.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company Party or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7. Contribution.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

(c) furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the Company’s most recent quarterly financial report filed with the Commission on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the Commission if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

(d) take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s transfer agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

9. Assignment of Registration Rights.

Neither the Company nor the Investor shall assign this Agreement or any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder; provided, that any transaction, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company remains the surviving entity immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed an assignment.

10. Amendment or Waiver.

No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one (1) Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the Commission. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

 

18


11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Solely for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

(b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Purchase Agreement.

(c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.

(d) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law statute, rule or regulation of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute under this Agreement or in connection herewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably designated and appointed Cogency Global Inc. (together with any successor, the “Agent for Service”) as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that may be instituted in any state or federal court sitting in the City of New York, or brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that the Agent for Service has accepted such designation. The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Agent for Service in full force and effect so long as any Ordinary Shares shall remain to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or any Registrable Securities are held by the

 

19


Investor. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it in Section 10.4 of the Purchase Agreement (or, in the case of the Company, to the Agent for Service) 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 manner permitted by law. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11(d).

(e) The Transaction Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties solely with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written, solely with respect to such matters. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, modify or affect in any manner whatsoever (i) the conditions precedent to a VWAP Purchase and an Intraday VWAP Purchase contained in Article VII of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

(f) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and the Persons referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof (and in such case, solely for the purposes set forth herein).

(g) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. Any reference in this Agreement to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful currency of the United States of America.

 

 

20


(h) This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file, including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com, www.echosign.adobe.com, etc., shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.

(i) Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(j) The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(k) The Company agrees to indemnify the Investor and all of its Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors, against any loss incurred by the Investor as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

  (b)

The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor shall be a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES

 

23.

CHANGES TO THE FINANCE PARTIES

 

23.1

Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

 

  (a)

A Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

 

  (i)

assign any of its rights; or

 

  (ii)

transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

under the Finance Documents to another entity (the “New Lender”) at any time.

 

  (b)

Where a Lender assigns rights but does not transfer by novation obligations, then for the purposes of Clause 26 (Sharing Among the Finance Parties), any amount received or recovered by the assignee will be taken to be received by that Lender.

 

  (c)

The Security Trustee is not obliged to sign a Recognition Deed where the New Lender is not already a Lender unless the Security Trustee has performed all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such novation to a New Lender (the receipt of which the Security Trustee shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender).

 

  (d)

The Lenders have authority on behalf of each New Lender to do or execute anything (including any consent, waiver or amendment) that it has been instructed to do or execute, or has otherwise been approved, by the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or before the date on which the assignment or transfer becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement. Each New Lender is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

 

  (e)

A Lender may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents, transfer any corresponding Loan Notes or change its Facility Office, if the New Lender or the Lender acting through its new Facility Office would be entitled to exercise any rights under Clause 7.1 (Illegality) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change is proposed to occur.

 

  (f)

A Lender may not transfer any of its obligations during the period from when a Utilisation Request is delivered to that Lender until the Business Day after the Utilisation Date specified in that Utilisation Request.

 

  (g)

A Lender must bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees) in connection with any such assignment or transfer.

 

  (h)

If:

 

  (i)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

 

  (ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 12 (Increased Costs),

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 79


then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. However, where the payment is in relation to Australian Withholding Tax, it will be entitled to full payment under Clause 11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities).

 

23.2

Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

 

  (a)

Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

 

  (i)

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

 

  (ii)

the financial condition of any Obligor or any other person;

 

  (iii)

the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

 

  (iv)

the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

 

  (b)

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

 

  (i)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

 

  (ii)

will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

 

  (c)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

 

  (i)

accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 23 (Changes to the Finance Parties); or

 

  (ii)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 80


23.3

Procedure for transfer

 

  (a)

Subject to this Clause 23 (Changes to the Finance Parties), a transfer is effected on the Transfer Date in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the New Lender and Existing Lender executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate, and a Recognition Deed is executed by each other Party (including the Security Trustee) and delivered by the Existing Lender and the New Lender to the Lenders. Subject to this Clause 23 (Changes to the Finance Parties), the Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate and Recognition Deed appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

  (b)

On the Transfer Date:

 

  (i)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

 

  (ii)

each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

 

  (iii)

the Finance Parties and the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

 

  (iv)

if the New Lender is not already a Party as “Lender”, the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

 

  (c)

A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in this Clause 23.3 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

 

  (d)

On the Transfer Date, the Existing Lender shall notify the Security Trustee to update the Register to reflect the transfer of corresponding Loan Notes and, if applicable, the details of the New Lender.

any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 81


  (b)

any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

 

  (i)

release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

 

  (ii)

require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

  (ii)

the relevant member of the Group or the Borrower delivers to the Lenders a duly completed and executed Accession Letter in relation to that member of the Group;

the Finance Parties shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made and distributed in accordance with Clause 29 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

 

  (c)

the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by another Finance Party, pay to each other Finance Party an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Finance Parties determine may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 29.3 (Partial payments).

 

26.2

Redistribution of payments

 

  (a)

The Finance Parties shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 29.3 (Partial payments).

 

  (b)

Unless paragraph (c) applies:

 

  (i)

the receipt or recovery referred to in Clause 26.1 (Payments to Finance Parties) will be taken to have been a payment for the account of the Finance Parties and not to the Recovering Finance Party for its own account, and the liability of the relevant Obligor to the Recovering Finance Party will only be reduced to the extent of any distribution retained by the Recovering Finance Party under Clause 26.1(c) (Payments to Finance Parties); and

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 84


  (ii)

(without limiting sub-paragraph (i)) the relevant Borrower shall indemnify the Recovering Finance Party against a payment under Clause 26.1(c) (Payments to Finance Parties) to the extent that (despite sub-paragraph (i)) its liability has been discharged by the recovery or payment.

 

  (c)

Where:

 

  (i)

the amount referred to in Clause 26.1 (Payments to Finance Parties) above was received or recovered otherwise than by payment (for example, set off); and

 

  (ii)

the relevant Obligor, or the person from whom the receipt or recovery is made, is insolvent at the time of the receipt or recovery, or at the time of the payment to the relevant Finance Parties, or becomes insolvent as a result of the receipt or recovery,

then the following will apply so that the Finance Parties have the same rights and obligations as if the money had been paid by the relevant Obligor to the Finance Parties and distributed accordingly:

 

  (iii)

each other Finance Party will assign to the Recovering Finance Party an amount of the debt owed by the relevant Obligor to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents equal to the amount received by that Finance Party under paragraph (a);

 

  (iv)

the Recovering Finance Party will be entitled to all rights (including interest and voting rights) under the Finance Documents in respect of the debt so assigned; and

 

  (v)

that assignment will take effect automatically on payment of the Sharing Payment by the relevant Finance Party/ies to the other Finance Party.

 

26.3

Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

 

  (a)

each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, pay to that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay);

 

  (b)

to the extent necessary, any debt assigned under Clause 26.2(c) (Redistribution of payments) will be reassigned; and

 

  (c)

the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

 

26.4

Exceptions

 

  (a)

This Clause 26 (Sharing Among the Finance Parties) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making the payment pursuant to this Clause 26 (Sharing Among the Finance Parties), have a valid and enforceable claim (or right of proof in an administration) against the relevant Obligor.

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 85

Privacy

38.

PPSA PROVISIONS

 

38.1

Exclusion of certain provisions

Where any Finance Party has a security interest (as defined in the PPSA) under any Finance Document, to the extent the law permits:

 

  (a)

for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA:

 

  (i)

each Finance Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125,130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the PPSA; and

 

  (ii)

sections 142 and 143 of the PPSA are excluded;

 

  (b)

for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, each Finance Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3);

 

  (c)

each Party waives its right to receive from any Finance Party any notice required under the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement);

 

  (d)

if a Finance Party with the benefit of a security interest exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with it, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Finance Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this Clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA; and

 

  (e)

if the PPSA is amended to permit the Parties to agree not to comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Lenders may notify the Borrower and the Finance Parties that any of these provisions is excluded, or that the Finance Parties need not comply with any of these provisions.

This does not affect any rights a person has or would have other than by reason of the PPSA and applies despite any other Clause in any Finance Document.

 

38.2

Further assurances

Whenever the Lenders requests an Obligor to do anything:

 

  (a)

to ensure any Finance Document (or any security interest (as defined in the PPSA) or other Security under any Finance Document) is fully effective, enforceable and perfected with the contemplated priority;

 

  (b)

for more satisfactorily assuring or securing to the Finance Parties the property the subject of any such security interest or other Security in a manner consistent with the Finance Documents; or

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 100


  (c)

for aiding the exercise of any power in any Finance Document, the Obligor shall do it promptly at its own cost. This may include obtaining consents, signing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information, delivering documents and evidence of title and executed blank transfers, or otherwise giving possession or control with respect to any property the subject of any security interest or Security.

 

39.

COUNTERPARTS

 

  (a)

Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which:

 

  (i)

may be executed electronically or in handwriting; and

 

  (ii)

will be deemed an original whether kept in electronic or paper form, and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same document.

 

  (b)

Without limiting the foregoing, if the signatures on behalf of one party are on more than one copy of a Finance Document, this shall be taken to be the same as, and have the same effect as, if all of those signatures were on the same counterpart of that Finance Document.

 

40.

INDEMNITIES AND REIMBURSEMENT

All indemnities and reimbursement obligations (and any other payment obligations of any Obligor) in each Finance Document are continuing and survive termination of the Finance Document, repayment of the Loans and cancellation or expiry of the Commitments.

 

41.

PROMPT PERFORMANCE

 

  (a)

If this deed specifies when an Obligor agrees to perform an obligation, that Obligor agrees to perform it by the time specified. Each Obligor agrees to perform all other obligations promptly.

 

  (b)

Time is of the essence in this deed in respect of an obligation to pay money.

 

42.

SURVIVAL

All representations and warranties contained in the Finance Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of such Finance Document, the assignment, novation or transfer by any Finance Party or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Loan, and may be relied upon by any subsequent Finance Party, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Finance Party. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of an Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents shall be deemed representations and warranties of that Obligor under that Finance Document.

 

43.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Except as expressly set out in the Finance Documents none of the Finance Parties or any of their advisers have given any representation or warranty or other assurance to any Obligor in relation to the Finance Documents and the transactions they contemplate, including as to tax or other effects. The Obligors have not relied on any of them or on any conduct (including any recommendation) by any of them. The Obligors have obtained their own tax and legal advice.

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement         Page 101


The Banking Code of Practice does not apply to the Finance Documents and the transactions under them.

 

44.

CONTRACTUAL RECOGNITION OF BAIL-IN

Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to this Agreement, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to this Agreement to any other party to this Agreement under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

 

  (a)

a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

 

  (b)

a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it;

 

  (c)

a cancellation of any such liability; and

 

  (d)

a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.

For the avoidance of doubt, each party to this Agreement acknowledges that this Clause 44 (Contractual Recognition of Bail-In) does not extend to any liability of any party under this Agreement other than a liability which is subject to Bail-in Action by the relevant Resolution Authority.

ENFORCEMENT

 

46.1

Jurisdiction

 

  (a)

The courts having jurisdiction in Queensland have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement) (a “Dispute”).

 

  (b)

The Parties agree that those courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

 

  (c)

Each Party irrevocably waives any objection it may now or in the future have to the venue of any proceedings, and any claim it may now or in the future have that any proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum, where that venue falls within paragraph (a).

 

  (d)

This Clause 46.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

 

46.2

Service of process

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor (other than an Australian Obligor):

 

  (a)

irrevocably appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings in connection with any Finance Document; and

 

  (b)

agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

Each party expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this Clause 46 (Enforcement).

This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE FACILITIES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, and capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, in connection with the financing transactions described under the Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2022 (the “LNSA”), among the Company and the lenders party thereto, the Company is issuing to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2022 (the “Warrant Agreement”), among the Company, Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Computershare”), and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (together with Computershare, collectively, the “Warrant Agent”), warrants to subscribe for and purchase ordinary shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) (such warrants being referred to as “Warrants”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Financial Close and the Accordion Facility Effective Date (as defined in the LNSA), if any, the Holders desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall (i) grant and issue the Warrants to the Holders and (ii) grant the Holders certain registration rights with respect to certain securities of the Company, as set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, after (i) the Financial Close, the Initial Holders (as defined below) will own Warrants to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of 2,030,840 Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment as contemplated herein and (ii) the Accordion Facility Effective Date, if any, the Accordion Holders (as defined below) will own Warrants to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of up to 135,389 Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment as contemplated herein (the number of Ordinary Shares subject to Warrants, as adjusted, the “Warrant Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, covenants and agreements contained herein, and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I

WARRANTS

1.1 Grant of Warrant. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the LNSA, the Company hereby grants and issues to each Holder on the date hereof and on the Accordion Facility Effective Date the number of Warrants evidencing the right to subscribe for and purchase, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Shares. For each Holder that is a Facility A Lender (as defined in the LNSA) (an “Initial Holder”), the number of Warrants granted shall be equal to the Initial Holder’s Facility A Relevant Proportion of the number of Warrants determined by multiplying (i) the quotient of (x) US$14,500,000 divided by (y) the Initial Share Price by (ii) the sum of 1 plus the quotient of (A) the Exercise Price (as defined below) divided by (B) the Initial Share Price. For each Holder that is an Accordion Facility Lender (as defined in the LNSA) (an “Accordion Holder”), the number of Warrants granted shall be equal to the Accordion Holder’s Accordion Facility Relevant Proportion of the number of Warrants determined by multiplying (i) the quotient of (x) US$966,667 divided by (y) the Initial Share Price by (ii) the sum of 1 plus the quotient of (A) the Exercise Price divided by (B) the Initial Share Price. Each Warrant shall initially be exercisable for one Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as described in Sections 3.3.3 and 4 of the Warrant Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued to the Initial Holders and any Accordion Holders shall be identical except for the issuance date. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance date for a given Warrant shall be deemed to be the date specified in the instructions from the Company to the Warrant Agent instructing the issuance of such Warrant.

(b) The Accordion Holder shall execute and deliver a written agreement to become a party to and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Holder granted Warrants hereunder, substantially in the form of the Counterpart Signature Page and Joinder attached as Exhibit A hereto.

1.2 Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

1.2.1 Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall, if a physical certificate is issued when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the person or entity in whose name such Warrant is registered in the warrant register (the “Registered Holder”) thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant, the Warrant Agreement and of this Agreement, to subscribe for and purchase from the Company the number the Warrant Shares stated therein, at the price of $0.0001 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

1.2.2 Vesting and Expiration of Warrants. The vesting and expiration of the Warrants shall be in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Warrant Agreement.

1.2.3 Exercise of Warrants. The exercise of the Warrants shall be effected in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Warrant Agreement.

1.3 Adjustments to Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 4 of the Warrant Agreement.

1.4 Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. The transfer and exchange of the Warrants shall be effected in accordance with Section 5 of the Warrant Agreement.

1.5 Redemption. The redemption of the Warrants shall be effected in accordance with Section 6 of the Warrant Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATIONS

2.1 Registration.

2.1.1 Shelf Registration. (a) The Company agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Financial Close, the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a Registration Statement registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (including any Registrable Securities eligible for registration pursuant to Rule 416 or Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act) on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration”) and to the extent that the Company is eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 ASR (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”), the Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement that includes the Warrant Adjustment Securities.

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration Statement but no later than the earlier of (a) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will conduct a full “review” the Registration Statement) following the Financial Close and (b) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”) and, in any event, shall use best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within one year of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Holder, the securities of the Company held by Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Holder shall execute a selling stockholder questionnaire in connection with such registration as the Registrable Securities may reasonably request that is customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided, that Holder shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities except as provided for in Section 3.3. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Shelf Registration on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (a) as shall be selected by the Company and (b) as shall permit the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Holders. If at any time a Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1.1 is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to include in any Shelf Registration any Warrant Adjustment Securities for so long as the Company is in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act (or Rule 144(i)(2) promulgated under the Securities Act, if applicable). In the event Warrant Adjustment Securities are issued to the Holders subsequent to Financial Close and the Company is not in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act (or Rule 144(i)(2) promulgated under the Securities Act, if applicable), the Holders shall be entitled to the Shelf Registration rights in this Section 2.1.1 with respect to those Warrant Adjustment Securities; provided, that, the Company shall be able to effect such Shelf Registration using (i) a new Registration Statement, (ii) an amendment or supplement to an existing Registration Statement or (iii) any combination thereof in the Company’s discretion and on the form the Company is then eligible to use that covers the most Registrable Securities (including to the extent eligible the Warrant Adjustment Securities) in the following order of priority: (1) Form F-3 ASR, (2) Form F-3 and (3) Form F-1. The Company shall use its best efforts (x) to convert any Form F-1 relating to the Shelf Registration of the Registrable Securities to a Form F-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3 and (y) to file an automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 ASR to cover the future issuances of Warrant Adjustment Securities as soon as practicable after the Company becomes a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act).

2.1.2 [RESERVED]

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to (i) file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of equity securities of the Company, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities of the Company, for its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Company, other than a Registration Statement (A) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (B) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-4 or S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) (C) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (D) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (E) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (ii) consummate an Underwritten Offering for its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Company (other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed action to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in the case of filing a Registration Statement, not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement), which notice shall (x) describe the amount and type of securities to be included, the intended method(s) of distribution and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, and (y) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within (a) five (5) days in the case of filing a Registration Statement and (b) two (2) days in the case of an Underwritten Offering (unless such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering, then one (1) day), in each case after receipt of such written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Piggyback Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, each such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Registration. All such Holders proposing to include Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of the equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement and (iii) the shares of equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration or Underwritten Offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or Underwritten Offering (A) first, the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to issue, which can be issued without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 of this Agreement (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Registration or Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all Holders have requested be included in such Registration or Underwritten Offering (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; or

 

4


(b) If the Registration or Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or Underwritten Offering (A) first, Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 of this Agreement, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to issue, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to, as applicable, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or the launch of the Underwritten Offering with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or abandon an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.3 [RESERVED]

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) the filing, initial effectiveness, or continued use of a Registration Statement at any time would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control; or (B) in the good faith judgment of a majority of the Board, the filing, initial effectiveness, or continued use of a Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed, declared effective or continued to be used in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer or discontinue the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer or discontinue such filing or offering for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

ARTICLE III

3.1.4 prior to any Registration of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 during the Effectiveness Period, furnish a conformed copy of each filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, promptly after such filing of such documents with the Commission to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel; provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act;

3.1.10 in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement of this Agreement, notify the Holders of the happening of any event as a result of which a Misstatement exists, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 of this Agreement;

3.1.11 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the Holders), or the Underwriters facilitating such Underwritten Offering or other issue or sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s or entity’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter to confidentiality agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.12 obtain a comfort letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.13 in the event of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are issued or delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to such participating Holders or Underwriter;

3.1.14 in the event of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Registration to which the Company has consented, to the extent reasonably requested by such Underwriter in order to engage in such offering, allow the Underwriters to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Company;

3.1.15 in the event of any Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement or other subscription or purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering or sale;

3.1.16 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full semi-annual fiscal period after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission); provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any information pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;

3.1.17 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.18 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter if such Underwriter has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter, as applicable.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses in respect of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall be required to execute a lock-up agreement in order to participate in an Underwritten Offering unless the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that such Holders’ failure to enter into a lock-up agreement would be seriously detrimental to the ability of the Underwriters and the Company to successfully execute such Underwritten Offering, in which case such Holders shall be required to execute a lock-up agreement on substantially the same terms as similarly situated participants in such Underwritten Offering in order to participate in such offering.

3.4 Suspension of Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to (A) delay or postpone the (i) initial effectiveness of any Registration Statement or (ii) launch of any Underwritten Offering, in each case, filed or requested pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) from time to time to require the Holders not to sell under any Registration Statement or Prospectus or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement or Prospectus would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement or Prospectus to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Underwritten Offering on more than two occasions, for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of a Suspension Event while a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event a Misstatement exists, each Holder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registrable Securities under each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement until the Holder receives copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the relevant misstatements or omissions and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Holders will deliver to the Company or, in Holders’ sole discretion destroy, all copies of each Prospectus covering Registrable Securities in Holders’ possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy shall not apply (A) to the extent the Holders are required to retain a copy of such Prospectus (x) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (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 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable outside attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use therein.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable outside attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Holder so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The

 

9


amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of this Agreement, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE V

5.5 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the total Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company.

6.2 Holder Representations and Warranties. Each Holder represents and warrants to the Company in respect of itself and not any other Holder that:

6.2.1 Holder has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with the requisite entity power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

6.2.2 This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Holder. This Agreement is enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

6.2.3 No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of Holder in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2.4 The execution and delivery by Holder of this Agreement, and the performance by Holder of its obligations under this Agreement, including accepting the grant of the Warrant, the subscription for and purchase of the Warrant Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Holder or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Holder or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Holder or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Holder or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of Holder and any of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Holder Material Adverse Effect”), or materially affect the legal authority of Holder to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the organizational documents of Holder; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Holder or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Holder Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the legal authority of Holder to comply in all material respects with this Agreement.

6.2.5 Holder (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) (5), (6), (7), (10), (11) or (12) under the Securities Act), (ii) is acquiring the Warrant and, to the extent exercised, the Warrant Shares, only for its own account, or if Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” or an institutional “accredited investor” (each as defined above) and Holder has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Warrant or, to the extent exercised, the Warrant Shares, with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or the Corporations Act.

 

14


6.2.6 Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Holder absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act and in compliance with all applicable laws, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that all of the applicable conditions thereof have been met or (iv) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Holder understands and agrees that the Warrant Shares will be subject to the foregoing restrictions and, as a result, Holder may not be able to readily resell the Warrant Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time. Holder understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of the Warrant Shares.

6.2.7 Holder understands and agrees that Holder is subscribing for and purchasing the Warrant and the Warrant Shares directly from the Company and Holder consents to become a member of the Company. This Agreement serves as an application by the Holder for the allotment of Ordinary Shares subscribed for and purchased under this Agreement on the applicable Share Issue Date and accordingly it will not be necessary for the Holder to provide a separate (additional) application on or prior to the applicable Share Issue Date for those Ordinary Shares. Holder agrees to be bound by the Constitution upon the issue to the Holder of any Ordinary Shares. Holder further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Holder by the Company or any of its officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Agreement.

6.2.8 Holder’s acquisition and holding of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

6.2.9 In making its decision to accept the grant of the Warrant and subscribe for and purchase, to the extent exercised, the Warrant Shares, Holder represents that it has relied solely upon its own independent investigation. Holder acknowledges and agrees that Holder has received and has had the opportunity to review such information and documents as Holder deems necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. Holder represents and agrees that Holder and Holder’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Holder and such Holder’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

6.2.10 Holder became aware of this offering of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares solely by means of direct contact between Holder and the Company or a representative of the Company, and the Warrant and the Warrant Shares were offered to Holder solely by direct contact between Holder and the Company or a representative of the Company. Holder acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any applicable laws of any other jurisdiction.

6.2.11 Holder acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the subscription for, purchase and ownership of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. Holder is a sophisticated investor and is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein, has exercised its independent judgment in evaluating its investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, has such knowledge and experience in financial, business and tax matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits, risks and uncertainties inherent in an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and Holder has sought such accounting, legal, economic and tax advice as Holder has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

 

15


6.2.12 Alone, or together with any professional advisors, Holder represents and acknowledges that Holder has adequately analyzed and fully considered and assumed the risks of an investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and determined that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares are a suitable investment for Holder and that Holder is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Holder’s investment in the Company. Holder acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

6.2.13 Holder understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Warrant or the Warrant Shares.

6.2.14 If Holder is or is acting on behalf of (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”), or (iv) an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws,” and together with the ERISA Plans, “Plans”), Holder represents and warrants that (i) neither the Company nor its respective affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) has provided investment advice or has otherwise acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, with respect to its decision to subscribe for and acquire and hold the Warrant Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties is or shall at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to subscribe for and acquire and hold the Warrant Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties is or shall at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision in connection with Holder’s investment in the Warrant Shares; and (ii) its subscription for and purchase of the Warrant Shares will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable Similar Law.

6.2.15 If Holder is located in the United Kingdom or a member state of the European Economic Area, it represents and warrants that it is a qualified investor (within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129).

6.2.16 If the Holder is located in Australia, the Holder represents and warrants that it is a person who falls within an exempt offer category in section 708 of the Corporations Act (including “sophisticated investors” or “professional investors” within the meaning of section 708(8) and 708(11) respectively of the Corporations Act).

6.2.17 If Holder is located in the United Kingdom, Holder represents and warrants that it is a person of a kind described in articles 19(5) or 49(2) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1529) (as amended) or is otherwise a person to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity may be communicated without contravening section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

TRITIUM DCFC LIMITED

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 2, 2022, is by and among Tritium DCFC Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (the “Company” or “DCFC”), Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Computershare”), and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, (together with Computershare, collectively, the “Warrant Agent”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the financing under the Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement dated as of September 2, 2022 (the “LNSA”) among the Company and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Company is issuing to the Lenders or their affiliates warrants to subscribe for and purchase ordinary shares in the capital of DCFC (“Ordinary Shares”) (such warrants being referred to as “Warrants”) pursuant to the Subscription and Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 2, 2022 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company and the parties listed under Holder on the signature pages thereto (each such party, together with any person or entity who hereafter becomes a party to the Subscription Agreement pursuant to Section 1.1 or 5.2 of the Subscription Agreement, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants and the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrants; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when, if a physical certificate is issued, executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.3.1. Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective Holders in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of issuance for a given Warrant shall be deemed to be the date specified in the instructions from the Company to the Warrant Agent instructing the issuance of such Warrant.

Physical certificates, if issued, shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

2.3.2. Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person or entity in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on any physical certificate made by anyone other than the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

2.4. Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants. If a holder of Warrants would be entitled to receive a fractional Warrant, the Company shall round up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole number the number of Warrants to be issued to such holder.

3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

3.1. Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall (or if a physical certificate is issued, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent) entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant, the Subscription Agreement and of this Agreement, to subscribe for and purchase from the Company the number of Ordinary Shares stated therein (the “Warrant Shares”), at the price of $0.0001 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

3.2. Vesting and Expiration of Warrants.

3.2.1. Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 3.2.2, the Warrants shall vest and become exercisable by each Registered Holder as follows:

 

  (a)

One third of the Warrants will vest and be immediately exercisable upon Financial Close (as defined in the LNSA);

 

  (b)

One third of the Warrants will vest and be exercisable on the date that is nine (9) months after the date of the Financial Close; and

 

  (c)

One third of the Warrants will vest and be exercisable on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date of the Financial Close.

3.2.2. Accelerated Vesting. All or any unvested Warrants shall be fully vested and become immediately exercisable for the maximum number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Warrant if:

 

  (a)

the closing price per Ordinary Share on the Nasdaq Stock Market over any consecutive fifteen (15)-day period following the date of the Financial Close is equal to or greater than, two times the Initial Share Price;

 

  (b)

there is a material breach by the Company of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement or the LNSA;

 

  (c)

there is an Event of Default (as defined in the LNSA); or

 

  (d)

a third party other than the Registered Holders announces, or the Company announces, an intention to proceed with a transaction that would reasonably be likely to result in a Change of Control (as defined in the LNSA) or any other transaction having a substantially similar effect.

3.2.3. Expiration of Unvested Warrants. Any unvested Warrants shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease upon the earlier to occur of: (i) repayment in full of the Loans (as defined in the LNSA) under the LNSA and the termination of the LNSA and (ii) the termination of the LNSA in connection with non-occurrence of the Financial Close (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any Warrants that have vested on or prior to the Expiration Date shall continue to be vested and exercisable.

3.3. Exercise of Warrants.

3.3.1. Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant, the Subscription Agreement and this Agreement, a Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent if a physical certificate is issued, may be exercised to the extent vested by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering, at the office designated for such purpose, (i) a written notice (an “Exercise Notice”) of the Registered Holder’s election to subscribe for and purchase (as set forth on the Warrant) the

 

3


number of Warrant Shares set forth in such Exercise Notice pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and duly executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse of the warrant certificate attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrant Certificate”) accompanied by any evidence of authority that may be reasonably required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association and (ii) the payment in full of the Exercise Price for each Warrant Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of such Warrant Shares, as follows:

 

  (a)

in lawful money of the United States, by wire transfer of immediately available funds payable to the Company’s account at the Warrant Agent;

 

  (b)

by instructing the Warrant Agent to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below) as of the Exercise Date (as defined below) equal to the aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with the following formula:

 

X =

 

Y (A-B)

     A

Where:

X =   the net number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder.
Y =   the number of Warrant Shares the Registered Holder has elected to subscribe for and purchase under the vested Warrant being exchanged.
A =   the Fair Market Value of one Ordinary Share as of the Exercise Date.
B =   Exercise Price in effect as of the Exercise Date; or

 

  (c)

any combination of the foregoing.

 

  (d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, beginning on the date that is one (1) year from the issuance date of the Warrant being exercised, Holders shall only be permitted to exercise the Warrants pursuant to Section 3.3.1(b) above.

3.3.2. Issuance of Ordinary Shares on Exercise. Within five (5) Business Days of the later of the date of (i) receipt by the Company of an Exercise Notice (the “Exercise Date”) and (ii) the clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)) (the “Share Issue Date”), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of Warrant Shares to which he, she or it is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant (including any Additional Warrant Shares (as defined below) issuable pursuant to Section 3.3.3), registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been

 

4


exercised in full, a new book-entry position (or if a physical certificate is issued, a countersigned Warrant Certificate), as applicable, for the number of Warrant Shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Warrant Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 3.3.1(b), the holder of such Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a Warrant Share, the Company shall, at its election, either (i) pay to the holder an amount in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (x) such fraction, multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of one Ordinary Share on the Exercise Date or (ii) round up to the nearest whole number the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to such holder. The Company shall calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under this Agreement to calculate, such fractional interest. The number of Warrant Shares to be issued on such exercise of any Warrant will be determined by the Company (with written notice thereof to the applicable Registered Holder and the Warrant Agent) and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company’s determination of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued on such exercise, is accurate or correct.

3.3.3. Guaranteed Value. Within three (3) Business Days of receiving an Exercise Notice, the Company shall calculate the value of the Warrant Shares (prior to any adjustment described in this Section 3.3.3 and without taking into account any exercise on a “cashless” basis pursuant to Section 3.3.1(b)) issuable to each Registered Holder upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Issue Shares”) as follows (the “Share Valuation”):

Share Valuation = Issue Shares issuable to such Registered Holder X 5-day VWAP

Where the “5-day VWAP” means the volume-weighted average price of Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Exercise Date.

If the Share Valuation is less than the Guaranteed Value (as calculated below), the Company shall, on the Share Issue Date, either:

 

  (a)

pay the difference between the Share Valuation and the Guaranteed Value (the “Value Difference”) to such Registered Holder or as it may direct, in cash; or

 

  (b)

adjust the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the Share Issue Date to include additional Ordinary Shares to such Registered Holder (“Additional Warrant Shares”), where such number of Additional Warrant Shares will be calculated as the Value Difference, divided by the 5-day VWAP (rounded up to the nearest whole Ordinary Share).

The Company may elect to pay the Value Difference in cash or issue Additional Warrant Shares as provided in Section 3.3.2 in its sole discretion, and in such circumstances the Registered Holder shall be deemed to have subscribed for such number of Additional Warrant Shares so calculated, except that to the extent the issue of Additional Warrant Shares would to the

 

5


Company’s actual knowledge cause a Registered Holder to hold 10% or more of the issued Ordinary Shares of the Company or a Registered Holder and its affiliates (the “Warrant Holder Affiliated Group”) to hold collectively 20% or more of the issued Ordinary Shares in the Company, the Company shall pay cash for any Additional Warrant Shares that would cause the Registered Holder or Warrant Holder Affiliated Group to exceed the 10% or 20% threshold, respectively, in lieu of issuing such Additional Warrant Shares.

The “Guaranteed Value” shall be calculated by multiplying the Issue Shares by the Initial Share Price and by the percentage in the following table that corresponds to the last date before the relevant Exercise Date:

 

To and Including

   Percentage  

24 Months from Financial Close

     67

30 Months from Financial Close

     80

Thereafter

     100

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Share Valuation equals or exceeds the Guaranteed Value, there will be no adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issued or cash paid pursuant to this Section 3.3.3.

3.3.4. Valid Issuance; Listing. All Ordinary Shares issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement and duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company shall be validly issued, fully paid and shall not be subject to any call for payment of any further capital (subject to full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). The Company shall cause the Ordinary Shares issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other U.S. national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed.

3.3.5. Date of Issuance. Each person or entity in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for Warrant Shares and any Additional Warrant Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares and any Additional Warrant Shares on the date on which the Warrant, or book-entry position representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made in accordance with Section 3.3.1, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant Agent are closed, such person or entity shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares and any Additional Warrant Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open.

3.3.6. Maximum Percentage. The Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, (a) such holder or (b) such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own 10% or more (the “Holder Maximum Percentage”) or 20% or more (the “Holder Group Maximum

 

6


Percentage”), respectively, of the Ordinary Shares issued immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such person or its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number of issued Ordinary Shares, the holder may rely on the number of issued Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Current Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., jointly, in their capacity as the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares (the “Transfer Agent”) setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares issued. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of Ordinary Shares then issued. In any case, the number of issued Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of issued Ordinary Shares was reported.

3.3.7. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, such holder shall not have the right to exercise a Warrant (and the existence of the right to exercise is conditional upon obtaining, and shall not become binding until the applicable holder obtains, a no-objection notification required to be obtained under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 2015 (Cth)), to the extent that the exercise of such Warrant would result in:

 

  (a)

a person acquiring a Relevant Interest in the voting shares in the Company in breach of section 606(1) of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”) (or any equivalent provision); or

 

  (b)

a “foreign person” or a “foreign government investor” (each within the meaning given to that term in the Australian Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 2015 (Cth)) acquiring Ordinary Shares in breach of the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 2015 (Cth).

3.3.8. Cost Basis Information.

 

  (a)

In the event of a cash exercise pursuant to Section 3.3.1(a) hereof, the Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to record cost basis for the newly issued Ordinary Shares in a manner to be subsequently communicated by the Company in writing to the Warrant Agent.

 

7


  (b)

In the event of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3.3.1(b) hereof, the Company shall provide cost basis for the Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to a cashless exercise at the time the Company confirms the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with the cashless exercise to the Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 3.3.1 hereof.

4. Adjustments to Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the subscription and purchase rights granted under this Agreement, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

4.1. Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Issuance of Ordinary Shares. Except as provided in Section 4.2 and except in the case of an event described in either Section 4.4 or Section 4.5, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement (the “Original Issue Date”), issue, or in accordance with Section 4.3 is deemed to have issued, any Ordinary Shares without consideration or for consideration per share less than Initial Share Price (as such amount is proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Ordinary Shares after the Original Issue Date, the “Original Price”), then immediately upon such issuance (or deemed issuance), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any then-unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately prior to any such issuance (or deemed issuance) shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

 

Y =  

A X B 

(C + D)

Where:

Y =   the increased aggregate number of Warrant Shares.
A =   the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any then-unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately prior to such issuance (or deemed issuance).
B =   the number of Ordinary Shares actually issued immediately after such issuance (or deemed issuance).
C =   the number of Ordinary Shares actually issued immediately prior to such issuance (or deemed issuance).
D =   the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount of consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance (or deemed issuance) would be able to subscribe for and purchase at the Original Price.

 

8


4.2. Exceptions to Adjustment Upon Issuance of Ordinary Shares. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

4.3. Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. For purposes of determining the adjusted number of Warrant Shares under Section 4.1 hereof, the following shall be applicable:

4.3.1. Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this Section 4.3.1 and in Section 4.3.5) for which Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Original Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be issued for purposes of adjusting the number of Warrant Shares under Section 4.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3.3, no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Ordinary Shares or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

4.3.2. Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this Section 4.3.2 and in Section 4.3.5) for which Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Original Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of the

 

9


total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be issued for purposes of adjusting the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 4.1), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4.1) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3.3, no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or by reason of the issue of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to subscribe for and purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of Warrant Shares have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4.3.

4.3.3. Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.3.1 or Section 4.3.2 hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.3.1 or Section 4.3.2 hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.3.1 or Section 4.3.2 hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (D) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 4.3.1 hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.3.2 hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 4) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 had such Options or Convertible Securities which are still issued at the time of such change provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted or issued, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is increased.

4.3.4. Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 4 (including without limitation upon the redemption or subscribe for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 to the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent still issued immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

10


4.3.5. Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue, or is deemed to have issued in accordance with Section 4.3, any Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association, or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Holder; provided, that if the Board and the Holder are unable to agree on the net amount of any cash consideration or the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities within a reasonable period of time, such net amount of cash or fair value, as applicable, shall be determined by a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing engaged by the Company. The determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive, and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company.

4.3.6. Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 4, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided, that if before the distribution to its holders of Ordinary Shares the Company legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription, or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

11


4.3.7. Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities in respect of issued Ordinary Shares), cash, or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash, or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such securities, cash, or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash, or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash, or other property as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

4.4. Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Ordinary Shares or any other capital stock of the Company payable in Ordinary Shares or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its issued Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its issued Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.4 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination becomes effective.

4.5. Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up, or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 4.4), in each case which entitles the holders of Ordinary Shares to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, remain issued and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such

 

12


exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4.5, the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 3 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4.5 with respect to this Warrant.

4.6. Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.

4.7. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any Section of this Agreement to determine whether such adjustment event has occurred or to calculate any of the adjustments set forth herein. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such notice and on any adjustment therein contained and shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such notice.

 

13


4.8. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, at its election either (i) pay to the holder an amount in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (x) such fraction, multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of one Ordinary Share on the Exercise Date or (ii) round up to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.

4.9. Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Ordinary Shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued (or if a physical certificate is issued, countersigned), whether in exchange or substitution for an issued Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

5.1. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Agreement nor any Warrant may be transferred or assigned except (i) with the written consent of the Company (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) that the Holder may assign any Warrant and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without the consent of the Company; provided that such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.2. Registration of Transfer. To the extent the transfer of a Warrant is permitted pursuant to Section 5.1, the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any issued Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with any evidence of authority that may be reasonably required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.

5.3. Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants;

 

14


provided, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

5.4. Transfers of Fractions of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants which would require the issuance of a Warrant Certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant.

5.5. Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

5.6. Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized, if a physical certificate is issued, to countersign, and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

6. Redemption.

6.1. Redemption of Warrants for Cash. The Company shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the unvested issued Warrants at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.2 below, at a redemption price per Warrant equal to the Initial Share Price (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that any such redemption of Warrants hereunder shall be for a minimum aggregate Redemption Price of one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000) and shall be effected on a pro rata basis among all issued Warrants. The Company may only exercise the redemption right under this Section 6.1 three (3) times.

6.2. Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption; Redemption Price. In the event that the Company elects to redeem the Warrants pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be transmitted and/or mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid), by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice transmitted or mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

7. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

7.1. No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of stockholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

15


7.2. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may, absent notice to Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which terms shall in all cases include posting of a lost security bond by or on behalf of the Registered Holder holding the Warrant Agent and the Company harmless, and in the case of a mutilated Warrant Certificate, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any Warrant represented by such new Warrant Certificate shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

7.3. Registration of Warrants and Ordinary Shares. The Company shall provide the holders of the Warrants with certain registration rights pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Warrants.

8. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.

8.1. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants, but neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such Ordinary Shares, save as expressly stated in this Section 8.1. The Warrant Agent shall not register any transfer or issue or deliver any Warrant Certificate(s) or Warrant Shares unless or until the persons requesting the registration or issuance shall have paid to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company the amount of such tax, if any, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and the Warrant Agent that such tax, if any, has been paid.

8.2. Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.

8.2.1. Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation or other entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, or any state thereof, in good standing and having its principal office in the United States of America, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After

 

16


appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

8.2.2. Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

8.3. Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

8.3.1. Remuneration.

8.3.2. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.4. Liability of Warrant Agent.

8.4.1. Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or Chairman of the Board and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.

 

17


8.4.2. Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities loss, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, reasonable cost or expense that is paid, incurred or to which it becomes subject, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Warrant Agent in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly, or of enforcing its rights under this Agreement, except (i) as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction); or (ii) any tax imposed on or calculated as a result of the net income received or receivable by the Warrant Agent under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, even if the Warrant Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any liability, other than liability arising out of or attributable to the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of the Warrant Agent under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of fees (but not including any reimbursed costs) paid by the Company to the Warrant Agent during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Warrant Agent is being sought.

8.4.3. Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except if a physical certificate is issued, its countersignature thereof).

8.5. Other Rights of the Warrant Agent.

9.9. Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof.

[Form of Warrant Certificate]

[Reverse]

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive Ordinary Shares and are issued or to be issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement dated as of September 2, 2022 (the “Warrant Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), and the holders (the words “holders or “holder meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder) of the Warrants, which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise vested Warrants by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of written notice of the holder’s election to subscribe for and purchase Ordinary Shares as set forth hereon, properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall, at its election, either (i) pay to the holder of the Warrant an amount in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (x) such fraction, multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of one Ordinary Share on the Exercise Date or (ii) round up to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder of the Warrant.

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.
