- Investment Risk: CHEV acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in Revoltz and that certain protections, rights, and remedies available to investors acquiring securities offered by a prospectus will not be available due to the exemption from registration.
- Limited Transferability of Securities: The CHEV Exchange Shares and Revoltz Exchange Shares are not registered under applicable securities laws (e.g., Securities Act, Israeli Securities Law) and may only be sold, assigned, or transferred under specific exemptions (e.g., Regulation S, Rule 144) or with an effective registration statement, potentially limiting liquidity.
- Material Adverse Effect: The agreement includes conditions for closing related to the absence of a 'Material Adverse Effect' on either CHEV or Revoltz, which could prevent or materially impair the consummation of the transactions.
- Reliance on Representations and Warranties: The parties are relying on the accuracy of representations and warranties made by each other, with indemnification provisions for inaccuracies or breaches, but these are subject to limitations (e.g., survival periods, liability caps).
