(i) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company and each such Subsidiary (as defined below) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit in any material respect the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (as defined below) in any material respect.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, 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.

 

(iii) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of capital stock of the Company as of June 30, 2013 is 250,000,000 ordinary shares, of which per that date were 135,944,755 shares issued and outstanding and 50,000,000 preferred shares, of which none are outstanding.

(v) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the issuance of the Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as amended to date (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, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective properties or assets are bound, (iii) result in a violation of any foreign, federal, state or local statute, law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected, or (iv) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature (each, a “Lien”) on any property or asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, violations, acceleration, cancellations, creations and impositions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required under foreign, federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or issue and sell the Shares, other than as required by any filings or approvals required from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

The Reports did not, and do not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
