2.3 Status of this Agreement vis-à-vis the Company and Third Parties
This Agreement is a contractual arrangement between the Parties. It does not amend, supersede, or override the Company's Articles of Association, and it does not, in itself, bind the Company's corporate organs (including the general meeting and the board of directors) to act, or refrain from acting, in any particular way. As between the Company and third parties, including for the purposes of determining the validity of resolutions passed at a general meeting or by the board of directors and the registration of Shareholders in the Company's register of shareholders, the Articles of Association and applicable law shall prevail. A resolution passed, or action taken, by the general meeting or the board of directors in breach of this Agreement but in accordance with the Articles of Association and applicable mandatory law remains valid and binding on the Company and third parties, and shall not be capable of being set aside solely by reference to this Agreement. Any remedy for such a breach shall be available solely as between the Shareholders on a contractual basis, including a claim for damages and, to the extent available under applicable law, specific performance or injunctive relief, and shall not affect the validity of the corporate action vis-à-vis the Company or third parties. The Parties shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly propose, table, and vote in favor of any amendment to the Articles of Association that is reasonably necessary to give effect to any provision of this Agreement that is intended to bind the Company or its corporate organs.
