(d) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents and the Company’s Articles of Association.

Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date).
For the avoidance of doubt, where a Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for and on behalf of one or more mutual funds under its management, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of such Purchaser in this Section 3.2 are made solely by such Purchaser in its capacity as fund manager of such mutual fund(s), and only with respect to the relevant mutual fund(s) on whose behalf such Purchaser is acting. Nothing in this Section 3.2 shall be deemed to create any personal liability of such Purchaser, or of any of its officers, directors, employees, portfolio managers or other representatives, beyond the Purchaser’s express obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable Law.

(b) Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that it is acquiring the Shares for and on behalf of one or more mutual funds under its management, and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling, such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law.

For the avoidance of doubt, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of such Purchaser in this Section 3.2 are made solely by such Purchaser in its capacity as fund manager of the relevant mutual fund(s), and only with respect to the mutual fund(s) on whose behalf such Purchaser is acting. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create any personal liability of such Purchaser, or of any of its officers, directors, employees, portfolio managers or other representatives, beyond the Purchaser’s express obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Such Purchaser has not engaged, and will not engage, in any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902(c) of Regulation S) in the United States with respect to the Shares and has not taken, and will not take, any action that would cause the offer or sale of the Shares to fail to qualify for the safe harbor provided by Regulation S.
(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company’s business, assets and financial position and has reviewed and inspected all of the data and information provided to it by the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement.

In no event shall the Company make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities Laws.
9
(c) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.13 Weekends, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken, or such right may be exercised, on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.14 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have 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 or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
Confidentiality. The Purchaser shall not disclose or issue any public statement or press release concerning, or relating to, this transaction, without the prior written approval of the Company, of the substance and form of any such statement or release, except as may be required under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may disclose information concerning or relating to this transaction to its investors, regulator, trustee, investment committee, auditors, internal compliance and risk personnel, and any other person to whom disclosure is required under applicable Law, regulation, the relevant fund documents, fiduciary duties or ordinary reporting obligations; provided that such disclosure is limited to what is reasonably necessary in the circumstances.
