4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)  The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser, in connection with the Merger, or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.  As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

 

(b)  The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, AS SHALL BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, REGARDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Company's articles of association, as shall be amended from time to time, regarding restrictions on transferability of the Company's shares and other securities, the Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.  Further, subject to the aforesaid, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

 

 

4.2           Merger and PIPE Financing.  The Company has not, and hereby covenants that from and after the Closing Date, and until the later of (i) 90 days following receipt of a favorable Tax Ruling and (ii) 45 days following the delivery to the Purchasers of the Audited Financial Statements (the “Exclusivity Period”), the Company will not incur any indebtedness or Liens except with respect to bank loans or bank credit lines or in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

4.3           Integration.  From and after the Closing Date, and until expiration of the Exclusivity Period, the Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities to the Purchasers in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, nor enter into any purchase, sale, merger or business combination transaction pursuant to which the business of another Person is combined with that of the Company, in whatever form, or enter into any other agreement or series of related agreements (including, without limitation, joint venture, sale of assets, license agreement, distribution agreement, etc.) or enter into any other transaction that would preclude the consummation of the PIPE Financing and the closing of the Merger, without the prior written consent of the Advisor and the holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Debentures.

 

4.4 Conversion.  The Debentures set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Debentures into Ordinary Shares or other securities in connection with the Merger, as the case may be.  Subject to US securities laws, no additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to convert their Debentures.  The Company shall honor conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying Securities in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents and Merger Agreement.

 

4.5 Publicity.  The Company and the Advisor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Advisor shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of Advisor or Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Advisor, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.  

4.6 Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes.

 

 

4.7 Indemnification of Purchasers.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and their directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser Party in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by the Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).  If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.  Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any (x) of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; or (y) agreement, understanding or arrangement with any third party.

4.8           Equal Treatment of Purchasers.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.  Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable time.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to the Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by the Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

 

4.9 Form D; Blue Sky Filings.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser upon filing.  The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

4.10           Preservation of Corporate Existence.  The Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, privileges and franchises in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or operations and where the failure to qualify or remain qualified might reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11           Tax Ruling.  The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously obtain a ruling on behalf of its shareholders and option holders (the “Tax Ruling”) from the Israeli Tax Authority that the issuance of Pubco securities in exchange for Company securities held by Company shareholders and option holders upon the closing of the Merger shall constitute a deferred tax event for the Company and/or its shareholders and option holders and shall not obligate them to pay any amounts prior to receiving actual funds resulting from sale of Pubco's securities as a result of such exchange.

4.12           Bankruptcy.  Purchasers agree that they shall not initiate an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or insolvency proceeding against the Company by virtue of the Company’s failure to satisfy its non-payment of Debenture principal or interest or a money judgment obtained in connection with the non-payment of Debenture principal or interest.

4.13           Merger Approval.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of its shareholders to the Merger. Provided that Ofir Paz and Asher Holzer vote their Ordinary Shares in favor of the Merger, it shall not be a default by Company or an Event of Default as defined in the Debenture if fewer than 80% of Company’s shareholders do not approve the Merger, in which case, the Company may elect not to close the Merger and in such case the Purchasers or anyone acting on their behalf shall not have any demand, claim or right against the Company, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, advisors and representatives as a result of the failure to obtain such approval.

4.14           Audits.  The Company undertakes to obtain audits of its financial statements sufficient to be filed with the Commission on a Form 10 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) no later than the later of: (i) six (6) months following the Closing; or (ii) two (2) months after the receipt of a favorable Tax Ruling. Failure to timely obtain such audits shall be an “Audit Default.”

4.15           Access to Records.  From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and until the time the Company becomes subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to each Purchaser that holds Securities, or any of its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or accountants reasonable access to any and all records at the premises of the Company where such records are kept, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request stating the purpose of such request and during normal business hours.  Each such Purchaser making such request agrees to request to execute a confidentiality agreement or similar document reasonably requested by the Company.

 

 

4.16           Articles of Association.  The Company undertakes that it will not amend its Articles of Association if such amendment would materially impair the rights of the Purchasers as holders of the Warrants.

 

5.1   Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on July 30, 2010; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

 

5.2   Reserved.  At the Closing, the Company has agreed to pay in cash to Palladium Capital Advisors LLC (“Palladium”) a sum equal to four percent (4%) of the Purchase Price in connection with the Closing (“Palladium Fee”).  The Company has further agreed, upon consummation of the PIPE Financing, (a) to pay in cash to Palladium an additional sum equal to four percent (4%) of the Purchase Price of any Debentures that convert into Pubco Common Stock in connection with the PIPE Financing and (b) to issue to Palladium three year warrants to purchase from Pubco an amount of Pubco Common Stock equal to eight percent (8%) of the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that any Debentures convert into in connection with the PIPE Financing (“Palladium Warrants”). The Palladium Warrants shall have an exercise price of $1.50 per Pubco's share of Common Stock and shall otherwise be identical to the warrants issued in the PIPE Financing.  In addition, at the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Purchasers the non-accountable sum of $15,000 for its legal fees and expenses, such amount to be paid directly to G&M out of escrow (“Purchaser Legal Fees”).  Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

5.3           Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

 

 

5.4           Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, pdf or other electronic delivery, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth below, or such other email address, facsimile number or address as the Company may specify for such purpose by notice to the Holder delivered in accordance with this Section 5.4.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to the Holder at the address set forth below.  Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic delivery at the facsimile number or email address specified in this Section 5.4 prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time), (ii) the Business Day immediately following the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic delivery at the facsimile number or email address specified in this Section 5.4 between 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) and 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

5.5           Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Debentures or securities into which the Debentures are converted, and if none of the foregoing are outstanding, then the holders of at least a simple majority of the Warrants and Warrant Shares still held by Purchasers (a “Majority in Interest”) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.6           Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  As long as the Debentures have not been converted or repaid, the Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Purchasers, except in connection with the Merger.  Except as otherwise provided in the Company's articles of association, as shall be amended from time to time, regarding restrictions on transferability of the Company's shares and other securities, any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

  

5.8           No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7.

 

5.9           Applicable law.  All disputes arising under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions hereunder shall be resolved between the parties in good faith, however, if these efforts fail the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel excluding that body of law pertaining to conflict of law and  any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with the Transaction Documents, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be submitted  to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the Tel Aviv Jaffa District, Israel, and all parties hereto irrevocably waive any objection as to venue or “inconvenient forum.”

 

5.10           Survival.  The representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for the applicable statue of limitations.

 

 

5.11           Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together 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, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12           Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13           Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

5.14           Replacement of Securities.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.15           Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16           Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

 

5.17           Usury.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

 

5.18           Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of the Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

 

 

5.19           Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.20           Construction.  The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

 

5.21           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

5.22           Currency.  All references to amounts herein shall be in United States Dollars.
