(f) Economic Risk. Such Buyer understands that he, she or it must bear the economic risk of the acquisition of the Purchased Shares made in connection herewith for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of certain states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available.

Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

如果某买方在本协议签署日后十(10)天内未完成交割,则该买方或公司应有权在该日营业时间结束当日或之后的任何时间终止其在本协议项下对该等对方的义务,且终止方无需对任何其他方承担责任;但是,(i)如果本协议项下的交易未能在该日完成系因该买方违反本协议所致(包括但不限于买方未能支付购买股份的购买价格),则该买方不享有本第8条项下终止本协议的权利,且(ii)放弃买卖购买股份的规定应仅适用于该买方。本第8条的任何规定均不应被视为免除任何一方对其违反本协议或其他交易文件条款和规定的任何责任,也不应被视为损害任何一方强制任何其他方履行其在本协议或其他交易文件项下义务的权利。

MISCELLANEOUS.

其他。

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, 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.

(a)管辖法律;管辖权;陪审团审理。所有与本协议的构成、有效性、执行和解释相关的问题均应受纽约州内部法律管辖,但将导致适用除纽约州之外的任何其他司法管辖区法律的任何法律选择或法律冲突条款或规则(无论是纽约州的还是任何其他司法管辖区的)不予生效。对于本协议项下、与本协议相关、任何其他交易文件项下、或与本协议或其他交易文件项下的任何交易相关的任何争议,本协议各方在此不可撤销地接受位于纽约市曼哈顿区的州法院和联邦法院的排他性管辖,本协议各方在此不可撤销地放弃并同意不在任何起诉、诉讼或法律程序中主张其不受任何该等法院属人管辖、该等起诉、诉讼或法律程序是在不方便审理的法院提起的、或该等起诉、诉讼或法律程序的审判地不适当。

 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in six 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. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

(b)文本。本协议可签署六份或多份相同文本,所有文本应被视为同一份协议,并应在文本已由每一方签署并交付给另一方时生效。如果任何签字通过传真或电子邮件交付,且该等电子邮件包含经签署的签字页的可移植文件格式(. pdf),则该等签字页将构成签署方(或由他人代其签署该等签字页的一方)有效和有约束力的义务,且具有与该等签字页作为签字页原件具有同等效力。

 

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. 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.

(c)标题;术语。本协议的标题仅为查阅方便而设,不应构成本协议的一部分或影响本协议的解释。除非上下文另行明确指出,本协议中的每个代词应视为包括其阳性、阴性、中性、单数和复数形式。术语“包括”及类似含义的词语应作广义解释,如同后接“但不限于”。术语“本协议中”、“本协议项下”、“本协议的”及类似含义的词语系指本协议的整体,而非仅指其所在的条款。

 

13
 

 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(d)可分割性。如果本协议的任何条款为法律所禁止或被有管辖权的法院认定为无效或不可执行,则原本被禁止、无效或不可执行的条款应被视为在其有效和可执行的最大范围内进行修订,且只要修改后的本协议继续表达了各方就本协议主题事项的最初意图且该等条款的被禁止性、无效或不可执行性并未实质性损害各方各自的期望或互惠义务或本应赋予各方的利益的实际实现,则该等条款的无效或不可执行性不应影响本协议其他条款的有效性。各方将通过善意协商,努力以有效条款取代被禁止、无效或不可执行的条款,且该等有效条款的效果应尽可能与被禁止、无效或不可执行的条款的效果相似。

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Class A Shares or the Purchased Shares, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein.

(e)完整协议;修订。本协议、其他交易文件和其中提及的文件取代买方、公司、其子公司、其关联方和代表其行事的人士之间的所有其他先前的口头或书面协议,包括但不限于任何买方就 A类股份或购买股份进行的任何交易及其中包含的其他事项,且本协议、其他交易文件和其中提及的文件包含各方仅与其中涉及事项相关的全部理解。

 

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyers. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities with prior notification to the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

(g)继承人和受让人。本协议应约束各方及其各自的继承人和受让人,并及于他们各自的利益。未经买方事先书面同意,公司不得转让本协议或本协议项下的任何权利或义务。经事先通知公司,买方可转让其在本协议项下的部分或全部权利,在此情况下,就该等被转让的权利而言,该等受让人应被视为本协议项下的买方。

(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the other parties and all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by such party in any of the Transaction Documents, or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of such party contained in any of the Transaction Documents

(i) 作为每一买方签署和交付交易文件并购买交易文件项下的证券的对价,以及除公司在交易文件项下的所有其他义务之外,每一方(“赔偿方”)应就如下情况为其他各方及其所有股东、合伙人、成员、管理人员、董事、雇员和直接或间接投资者以及任何前述主体的代理人或其他代表(包括但不限于与本协议项下拟议交易相关的人员)(合称“受偿方”)辩护,保护,赔偿,并使其免受损害:(a)该方在任何交易文件中作出虚假陈述或违反任何陈述或保证;或(b)违反任何交易文件载明的该方的任何承诺、约定或义务;或与之相关的任何和所有诉讼、诉因、权利主张、损失、成本、处罚、费用、责任和损害及支出(无论该等受偿方是否为本协议项下赔偿寻求诉讼的一方),包括合理的律师费用和支出(“赔偿责任”)。

 

16
 

 

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), 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, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee 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: (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnitee 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 and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Indemnifying Party and shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, 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 Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee 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 the Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(ii) 在本第9(k)条项下的受偿方收到涉及赔偿责任的任何诉讼或程序(包括任何政府诉讼或程序)开始的通知后,如果在本第9(k)条项下针对受偿方提出相关权利主张,则该受偿方应向赔偿方交付该等诉讼或程序开始的书面通知,赔偿方有权参与并在赔偿方希望的范围内通过令赔偿方和受偿方共同满意的法律顾问参与该等诉讼或程序的辩护,但前提是,在下列情况下,受偿方有权聘请自己的法律顾问,并且该等法律顾问的费用和支出由赔偿方支付:(A)赔偿方已书面同意支付该等费用和支出;(B)赔偿方未立即就该等赔偿责任进行抗辩及未在任何该等赔偿责任中聘请令该受偿方合理满意的法律顾问;或(C)任何该等赔偿责任的列名当事方(包括任何牵涉方)包括该受偿方和赔偿方,法律顾问已告知该等法律顾问如代表该受偿方和赔偿方,则很可能存在利益冲突(在此情况下,如果该受偿方书面通知赔偿方,其选择另行聘请法律顾问并承担相关费用,则赔偿方无权就此进行抗辩,且该等法律顾问的费用应由赔偿方承担),但前提是,在上述第(C)款的情况下,赔偿方不承担受偿方另行聘请一(1)位以上不同法律顾问的合理费用和支出。就赔偿方就任何该等诉讼或赔偿责任进行的任何谈判或抗辩,受偿方应与赔偿方合理合作,并应向赔偿方提供受偿方可合理获得的、与该等诉讼或赔偿责任有关的所有信息。赔偿方应使受偿方始终合理知悉抗辩或与之有关的任何和解谈判的进展情况。赔偿方对未经其事先书面同意而实施的任何诉讼、索赔或程序的任何和解不承担责任,但前提是,赔偿方不应无理拒绝、延迟或附加条件作出同意。未经受偿方事先书面同意,赔偿方不应同意作出任何判决,也不应达成任何和解或其他妥协,如果申请人或原告就该等赔偿责任或诉讼免除该等受偿方的所有责任的声明未作为无条件条款包括在任何判决或和解或其他妥协中,且该等和解不应包括受偿方对过错的任何承认。在作出本协议项下规定的赔偿后,赔偿方应代位获得受偿方对与赔偿事项有关的所有第三方、企业或公司的所有权利。未在任何该等诉讼开始的合理时间内向赔偿方发出书面通知不应免除赔偿方在本第9(k)条项下对受偿方的任何责任,除非赔偿方就该等诉讼进行抗辩的能力受到重大不利影响。

 

(l) Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Purchased Shares, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

(l)救济。每一买方,以及在买方转让其在本协议项下的权利和义务的情况下,购买股份的每一持有人,应享有交易文件中规定的所有权利和救济,以及在任何法律项下该等持有人在任何时候被授予的所有权利和救济。在本协议任何条款下享有任何权利的任何人士应有权特别地执行该等权利(无需提供保证金或其他担保),因违反本协议任何条款而导致的损害赔偿,以及行使法律赋予的所有其他权利。本协议和其他交易文件中规定的救济应是累积的,并且是对本协议和其他交易文件项下、法律上或衡平法上所有其他救济(包括实际履行令和/或其他禁令救济)的补充。

  

(m) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document.

(m)买方义务和权利的独立性。每一买方在交易文件项下的义务与任何其他买方的义务是单独的且不连带的,任何买方均不以任何方式对任何其他买方在任何交易文件项下义务的履行负责。

Dogness Announces Entry into US$5.0 Million Private Placement

 

PLANO, Texas, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dogness (International) Corporation (“Dogness” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded, OEM and private label pet products, today announced that it entered into a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) for US$5.0 million in gross proceeds, from the sale of 2,000,000 of the Company’s Class A common shares (the “Shares”) for US$2.50 per Share.

 

The Shares are being sold to certain non-U.S. purchasers (the “Purchasers”) in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Regulation S thereunder. Each of the Purchasers understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and such Purchasers may not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Closing of the Private Placement is subject to customary closing conditions.

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Forward Looking Statements

 

No statement made in this press release should be interpreted as an offer to purchase or sell any security. Such an offer can only be made in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws. Certain statements in this press release concerning our future growth prospects are forward-looking statements regarding our future business expectations intended to qualify for the “safe harbor” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties relating to these statements include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties regarding lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on our customers’ businesses and end purchasers’ disposable income, our ability to raise capital on any particular terms, fulfillment of customer orders, fluctuations in earnings, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, our ability to manage growth, our ability to realize revenue from expanded operation and acquired assets in China and the U.S., our ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, client concentration, industry segment concentration, reduced demand for technology in our key focus areas, our ability to successfully complete and integrate potential acquisitions, and unauthorized use of our intellectual property and general economic conditions affecting our industry. Additional risks that could affect our future operating results are more fully described in our United States Securities and Exchange Commission filings. These filings are available at www.sec.gov. Dogness may, from time to time, make additional written and oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our reports to shareholders. In addition, please note that any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of the date of this press release. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company unless it is required by law.
