On July 20, 2021, AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the investors convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $3,014,000 at the aggregate offering price of US$2,740,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on July 22, 2021.

 

The Convertible Debentures will mature twelve months after issuance and carries an interest rate of 0% per year, subject to certain condition that may increase the rate to 15% per year. The Convertible Debentures can be converted into our American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing one Class A ordinary share, par value US$0.01 per share, at any time on or prior to maturity at the lower of (i) $15.00, or (ii) the lower of (x) 82% of the closing bid price in the last reported trade of the ADSs or (y) 80% of the VWAPs (daily dollar volume-weighted average price) during the 10 consecutive trading days, immediately preceding the date of conversion or other date of determination (the “Variable Conversion Price”), but not lower than the floor price of $2.50. If the closing bid price during each of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination is lower than $2.50. The floor price shall be adjusted to equal the average closing bid price of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, but in no event should the floor price be lower than $1.00 per share. The conversion rate of the Convertible Debentures is subject to adjustments under the terms of the Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we will not issue any ADSs pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures if the issuance of such ADSs would exceed the aggregate number of ADSs that we may issue upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures in compliance with our obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market (the number of ADSs which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations is 2,808,601 ADSs, representing 2,808,601 Class A ordinary shares), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that we (A) obtain the approval of our shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Market for issuances of ADSs in excess of such amount or (B) obtain a written opinion from an outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required under British Virgin Islands laws. The Company has the right, but not the obligation to redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures.

 

The Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-256630) filed by the Company on May 28, 2021, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 7, 2021 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company filed the prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement on July 22, 2021.

2 

 

 

2.9 The choice of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the Transaction Documents and the Debentures has been made in good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld by the state and federal courts located in the City of New York (the "Relevant Jurisdiction") and any other relevant jurisdiction (other than the British Virgin Islands) as a matter of the Relevant Law and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands).

 

2.10 Where a Transaction Document has been provided to us in draft or undated form, it will be duly executed, dated and unconditionally delivered by all parties thereto in materially the same form as the last version provided to us and, where we have been provided with successive drafts of a Transaction Document marked to show changes to a previous draft, all such changes have been accurately marked.

2.14 All public records of the Company which we have examined are accurate and the information disclosed by the searches which we conducted against the Company at the Registry of Corporate Affairs and the High Court Registry is true and complete and such information has not since then been altered and such searches did not fail to disclose any information which had been delivered for registration but did not appear on the public records at the date of our searches.

 

2.15 The capacity, power, authority and legal right of all parties under all relevant laws and regulations (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands) to enter into, execute, unconditionally deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Debentures.

 

2.16 There is no contractual or other prohibition or restriction (other than as arising under British Virgin Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting or restricting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Debentures.

 

2.17 The Debentures will be issued and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents.

3

(c) the provision of the Memorandum and Articles relating to the issue of Shares will not have been altered, amended or restated; and

3 Opinions

 

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

 

3.1 The Company is a company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the BVI Business Companies Act (as amended) (the "Act"), is in good standing at the Registry of Corporate Affairs, is validly existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and possesses the capacity to sue and be sued in its own name.

 

3.2 The Debentures have been duly authorised by the Company and when the Debentures are signed in facsimile or manually by a director on behalf of the Company and, if appropriate, authenticated in the manner set forth in the Transaction Documents and delivered against due payment therefor will be duly executed, issued and delivered and will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

 

3.3 The Transaction Shares have been duly authorised and when the Transaction Shares have been issued and allotted by the Company upon conversion of the Debentures against payment in full of the consideration therefor set out in the Transaction Documents and when appropriate entries made in the register of members of the Company, such Transaction Shares will be validly issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable, and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights under British Virgin Islands law or the Memorandum and Articles.

 

4 Qualifications

 

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

 

4.1 The obligations assumed by the Company under the Transaction Documents and the Debentures (together, the "Documents") will not necessarily be enforceable in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

 

(a) enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;

 

(b) enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;

 

4 

 

 

(c) some claims may become barred under relevant statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;

 

(d) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands, they may not be enforceable in the British Virgin Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction;

 

(e) the courts of the British Virgin Islands have jurisdiction to give judgment in the currency of the relevant obligation;

 

(f) arrangements that constitute penalties will not be enforceable;

 

(g) enforcement may be prevented by reason of fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation, public policy or mistake or limited by the doctrine of frustration of contracts;

 

(h) an agreement made by a person in the course of carrying on unauthorised financial services business is unenforceable against the other party under section 50F of the Financial Services Commission Act, 2001;

 

(i) provisions imposing confidentiality obligations may be overridden by compulsion of applicable law or the requirements of legal and/or regulatory process;

 

(j) the courts of the British Virgin Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction in relation to substantive proceedings brought under or in relation to the Documents in matters where they determine that such proceedings may be tried in a more appropriate forum;

 

(k) any provision of a Document that is governed by British Virgin Islands law which expresses any matter to be determined by future agreement may be void or unenforceable;

 

(l) we reserve our opinion as to the enforceability of the relevant provisions of the Documents to the extent that they purport to grant exclusive jurisdiction as there may be circumstances in which the courts of the British Virgin Islands would accept jurisdiction notwithstanding such provisions;

 

(m) a company cannot, by agreement or in its articles of association, restrict the exercise of a statutory power and there is doubt as to the enforceability of any provision in the Documents whereby the Company covenants to restrict the exercise of powers specifically given to it under the Act including, without limitation, the power to increase its maximum number of shares, amend its memorandum and articles of association or present a petition to a British Virgin Islands court for an order to wind up the Company.

 

4.2 Applicable court fees will be payable in respect of enforcement of the Documents.

 

4.3 To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, annual filing fees must be paid to the Registry of Corporate Affairs.

 

4.4 In this opinion the phrase "non-assessable" means, with respect to the issuance of shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company's assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

5 

 

 

4.5 The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share in the Company, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Memorandum and Articles or the Act or as otherwise agreed by the Company) any other rights in respect of any share in the Company other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

4.6 The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations and United Kingdom sanctions extended to the British Virgin Islands by Orders of Her Majesty in Council and/or sanctions imposed by governmental or regulatory authorities or agencies in the British Virgin Islands under British Virgin Islands legislation.

 

4.7 A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any party to the Documents as to any matter provided therein might be held by a British Virgin Islands court not to be conclusive final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error.

 

4.8 We reserve our opinion as to the extent to which the courts of the British Virgin Islands would, in the event of any relevant illegality or invalidity, sever the relevant provisions of the Documents and enforce the remainder of the Documents or the transaction of which such provisions form a part, notwithstanding any express provisions in the Documents in this regard.

 

4.9 We express no opinion as to the meaning, validity or effect of any references to foreign (i.e. non-British Virgin Islands) statutes, rules, regulations, codes, judicial authority or any other promulgations and any references to them in the Documents.

 

4.10 We express no view as to the effect of transfer by delivery or the negotiation of Debentures in bearer form in any jurisdiction which does not recognise such transferability or negotiability.

 

4.11 We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Documents or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to warranties or representations that may be made by the Company.

 

The opinions in this opinion letter are strictly limited to the matters contained in the opinions section above and do not extend to any other matters. We have not been asked to review and we therefore have not reviewed any of the ancillary documents relating to the Documents and express no opinion or observation upon the terms of any such document.

 

This opinion letter is addressed to and for the benefit solely of the addressee and may not be relied upon by any other person for any purpose, nor may it be transmitted or disclosed (in whole or part) to any other person without our prior written consent.

 

Yours faithfully

2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company with respect to only itself that, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date:

 

(a)            Investment Purpose. The Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) to its knowledge, an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto)) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) a “beneficial owner” of more than 10% of the ADSs (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). No Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's purchase of the Securities. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. Such Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities. “Subsidiaries” means any Person in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns a majority of the outstanding capital stock having voting power or holds a majority of the equity or similar interest of such Person, and each of the foregoing, is individually referred to herein as a “Subsidiary”. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.

 

(b)            Information. The Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by such Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Buyer 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.

 

2

 

 

(c)            Organization; Authority. Such Buyer, if applicable, is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

 

(d)            Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

(e)            No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(f)            Certain Trading Activities. The Buyer has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Buyer, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined below) involving the Company's securities) during the period commencing as of the time that the Buyer first contacted the Company or the Company's agents regarding the specific investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement and ending immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement by such Buyer. The Buyer hereby agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly, engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending when no Convertible Debentures remain outstanding. "Short Sales" means all "short sales" as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Buyer is aware that Short Sales and other hedging activities may be subject to applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and the Buyer acknowledges that the responsibility of compliance with any such federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations is solely the responsibility of the Buyer. “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include locating and/or borrowing shares of ADSs).

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).

This Agreement has been, and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party will be prior to each Closing, duly executed and delivered by the Company, and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law.

 

(c)            Issuance of Securities. The issuance of the Securities is duly authorized and, upon issuance and payment in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, mortgages, defects, claims, liens, pledges, charges, taxes, rights of first refusal, encumbrances, security interests and other encumbrances (collectively “Liens”) with respect to the issuance thereof. As of each Closing Date, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized maximum number of ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares no less than the lesser of (a) 2,808,601 ADSs, representing 2,808,601 Class A Ordinary Shares, and (b) 100% of the maximum number of ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all the Convertible Debentures (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Convertible Debentures are convertible at the Conversion Price (as defined therein) then in effect, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures, including the Floor Price). Upon conversion in accordance with the Convertible Debentures, the ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights or Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares.

On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "ADS Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of ADSs and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of ADSs to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of ADSs to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission. If this Debenture is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the ADSs issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such ADSs upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.

 

(ii)            Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Debenture upon physical surrender of this Debenture. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.

(c)            Limitations on Conversions.

 

(i)            Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture or receive ADSs hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such ADSs, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of ADSs outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of ADSs as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of ADSs it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of ADSs in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding ADSs without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section (3)(a) and, any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

 

(ii)            Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) Limitations. The Company shall not issue any ADS pursuant to the terms of this Debenture if the issuance of such ADSs would exceed the aggregate number of ADSs that the Company may issue upon conversion of the Debenture in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market (the number of ADSs which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations is 2,808,601 ADSs, representing 22,808,601 Class A ordinary shares and shall be referred to as the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Market for issuances of ADSs in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required under British Virgin Islands laws.

 

(d)            Other Provisions.

 

(i)            All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole ADS.

 

(ii)            The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued ADSs solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the ADSs as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the conversion of the outstanding Principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all ADSs that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable.

(iii)            Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (2) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing ADSs upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

(4)            Adjustments to Conversion Price

 

(a)            Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision of ADSs. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on ADSs or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in ADSs, (b) subdivide outstanding ADSs into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding ADSs into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the ADSs any shares of capital stock of the Company, then each of the Fixed Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of ADSs (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of ADSs outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)            Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of ADSs are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for ADSs (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, at the Holder's option, (i) in addition to the ADSs receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such ADSs had such ADSs been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in lieu of the ADSs otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of ADSs in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to ADSs) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.

 

(c)            Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (4) hereof, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

5 

 

 

(d)            In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights, (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of ADSs following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the ADSs into which such aggregate Principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Debenture then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of ADSs would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

 

(5)            REISSUANCE OF THIS DEBENTURE.

 

(a)            Transfer. If this Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Debenture, registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof) and, if less then the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Debenture to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section (3)(b)(ii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Debenture, the outstanding Principal represented by this Debenture may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Debenture.

 

(b)            Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Debenture. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Debenture, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding Principal.

 

(c)            Debenture Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Debenture or Debentures (in accordance with this Section (5)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Debenture, and each such new Debenture will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(6)      NOTICES.      Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be in writing by letter and email and will be deemed to have been delivered: upon the later of (A) either (i) receipt, when delivered personally or (ii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next-day international delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same and (B) receipt, when sent by electronic mail.

(7)            Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal of, interest and other charges (if any) on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company. As long as this Debenture is outstanding, the Company shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, without the consent of the Holder, amend its certificate of incorporation, memorandum or articles of association, bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of the Holder.

 

(8)            This Debenture shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into ADSs in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(9)            This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Debenture and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES’ ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(10)            Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture. Any waiver must be in writing.

 

(11)            If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the Principal of or interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
