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 Purchasers 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, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At the appropriate 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, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to Section 4.9 hereunder, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

 

(c)           Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(i), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any portion of a Note or Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144(i) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations thereof) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

 

(d)           Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell any Securities

 

22



 

pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

 

4.2           Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchasers 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 the Purchasers, or without the prior consent of the Purchasers, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, 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; provided, however, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to (i) issue a press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby with two days prior notice, or (ii) disclose the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with its marketing materials.

 

4.3           Shareholder Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholder rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

 

4.4           Reimbursement.  If any Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by the Purchasers to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of such  Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.  The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of such Purchaser who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of such Purchaser and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, such Purchaser and any such Affiliate and any such Person.  The Company also agrees that neither such Purchaser nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under this Agreement.

 

4.5           Indemnification of Purchasers.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (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 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, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any

 

23



 

agreements or understandings any Purchasers may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross 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, the 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.  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 the 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 the Purchaser Party.  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 of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchasers in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

 

4.6           Reservation of Securities.

 

(a)   The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)   If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its best efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 30th day after such date.

 

4.7           Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for payment of certain vendor payables, including legal and other professional fees and the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes, including payment of transaction fees and expenses as contemplated in Section 5.2 hereunder.

 

4.8           Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes.  No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Notes.  The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.9           Piggyback Registration Rights

 

(a)   If at any time from and after the date hereof the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, whether for sale for its own account or for the account of any other Person, other than registration statements relating to (i) employee, consultant or distributor compensation or incentive arrangements, including employee benefit plans, or (ii) acquisitions or any

 

24



 

transaction or transactions under Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule with similar effect, then the Company will promptly give the Purchasers written notice thereof and include in such registration statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”), including any underwriting involved therein, all Securities (the “Piggyback Registrable Securities”) specified in a written request made by each Purchaser (a “Piggyback Request”) within 15 (fifteen) Business Days (or such later time as the underwriters may allow in writing) after receipt of such written notice from the Company.

 

(b)   If the Piggyback Registration Statement of which the Company gives notice is for an underwritten public offering or the Company proposes to do an underwritten take down from an unallocated or universal shelf registration, the Company shall so advise the Purchasers as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 4.7(a).  In such event, the right of a Purchaser to registration pursuant to this Section 4 (or to participate in an underwritten take down in the case of an unallocated or universal shelf registration) shall be conditioned upon the agreement of the Purchaser to participate in such underwriting and in the inclusion of such Piggyback Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  The Purchasers shall (together with the Company and any other holders distributing securities in such Piggyback Registration Statement, if any) enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Piggyback Underwriting Agreement”) in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.  If a Purchaser disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriters.  Any Piggyback Registrable Securities excluded from such underwriting shall be excluded from such Piggyback Registration Statement.

 

(c)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if in connection with an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriters pursuant to a Piggyback Request determine, in their sole discretion that, after including all the shares proposed to be offered by the Company and all the shares of any other Persons entitled to registration rights with respect to such Piggyback Registration Statement (pursuant to other agreements with the Company), marketing factors require a limitation of the number of Piggyback Registrable Securities to be underwritten (a “Piggyback Market Cut-Back”), the Company shall include in the registration (i) in the event that such registration is on behalf of shareholders of the Company having demand registration rights under other agreements with the Company (A) first, the securities requested to be registered by such other shareholders, and (B) second, the Piggyback Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration and securities, if any, requested to be included by others having these rights, pro rata among the holders of Piggyback Registrable Securities which are to be registered and sold pursuant to the Piggyback Registration Statement and others exercising these rights, on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by the holders of such Piggyback Registrable Securities and the others exercising these rights; and (ii) in the event that such registration is on behalf of the Company, (A) first, the securities that the Company proposes to sell, (B) second, the Piggyback Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration and securities, if any, requested to be included by others having these rights, pro rata among the holders of the Piggyback Registrable Securities which are to be registered and sold pursuant to such Piggyback Registration Statement and others exercising these rights, on the basis of the number of the Piggyback Registrable Securities requested to be included by holders of such Piggyback Registrable Securities, and others exercising these rights; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of Piggyback Registrable Securities of the Purchasers included in the underwriting on behalf of the Company (together with any other securities of the Purchasers being included in the underwriting pursuant to other agreements with the Company) be reduced below thirty-five percent (35%) of the total amount of securities

 

25



 

included in such offering.  The Piggyback Market Cut-Back shall not apply to offerings that are not underwritten public offerings.

 

(d)   Except to the extent specifically provided in this Section 4.7, the procedures to be followed by the Company and the Purchasers, and the respective rights and obligations of the Company and the Purchasers, with respect to the distribution of any Piggyback Registrable Securities by the Purchasers pursuant to any Piggyback Registration Statement filed by the Company shall be as set forth in the Piggyback Underwriting Agreement, or any other agreement or agreements governing the distribution of such Piggyback Registrable Securities pursuant to such Piggyback Registration Statement.

 

(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, nothing in this Section 4.7, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall be construed to limit the absolute right of the Company, for any reason and in its sole discretion (i) to delay, suspend or terminate the filing of any Piggyback Registration Statement; (ii) to delay the effectiveness of any Piggyback Registration Statement; or (iii) to withdraw such Piggyback Registration Statement.

 

4.10         Non-Issuance Payment. In the event that the Company fails to complete either a Qualified IPO or a Non-Qualified Financing prior to the Issuance Cut Off Date, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies the Purchasers may have hereunder, at law, or in equity, on each of the date immediately after the Issuance Cut Off Date and on each monthly anniversary thereof until the Company completes a Qualified IPO or Non-Qualified Financing, a payment (each an “Accrual” and collectively, the “Total Payment”) from the Company to the Purchaser shall accrue.  Each Accrual (to be paid in cash as set forth below), which constitutes partial liquidated damages and is not a penalty, shall be equal to 1.5% of the Purchaser’s Subscription Amount; provided, however, that the Total Payment paid by the Company shall not exceed 10% of the Purchaser’s Subscription Amount.  The Total Payment accrued shall be transferred to the Purchaser immediately after the first to occur of (i) a Qualified IPO, (ii) a Non-Qualified Financing or (iii) the maturity of the Note.

 

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1           Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the Expiration Date; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

 

5.2           Fees.  At the Closing, the Company has agreed to (i) pay the Placement Agent a placement fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from all Purchasers for the purchase of Securities (the “Gross Proceeds”) and (ii) reimburse the Placement Agent for transaction related expenses up to 1% of Gross Proceeds (excluding legal expenses).  The Placement Agent shall also receive five-year warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 3% of the number of Common Shares underlying the Securities in connection herewith.  Notwithstanding anything contrary herein or elsewhere, the Company will reimburse the Placement Agent in a timely manner for all expenses incurred in connection with the offering contemplated hereby, including the legal expenses of the Placement Agent of $60,000.  The Company 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 also pay all blue sky fees, transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the issuance of any Securities.

 

26



 

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 required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email or facsimile at the email or facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, (c) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. If notice is given to the Company, a copy (which shall not constitute notice) shall also be sent in the same manner as such notice was delivered to Thomas Willett, Esq., Harris Beach PLLC, 99 Garnsey Road, Pittsford, New York 14534, and if notice is given to the Purchasers, a copy (which shall not constitute notice) shall also be sent in the same manner as such notice was delivered to Yvan-Claude Pierre, Esq., DLA Piper LLP (US), 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020.

 

5.5           Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of amendments, by the Company and Purchasers holding not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver 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 either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.6           Construction.  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.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

5.7           Titles and Subtitles.  The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

 

5.8           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding.  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 such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to such “Purchaser.”

 

5.9           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 4.5.

 

27



 

5.10         Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of  New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), 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 improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

5.11         Survival.  The representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement from a period of two (2) years from the Closing (unless extended by the applicable statue of limitations), and shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Purchasers or the Company.

 

5.12         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, 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 signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.13         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

 

5.14         Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the 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.

 

28



 

5.15         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, 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 and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.  The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.16         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 described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

5.17         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.

 

5.18         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 the Purchasers to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchasers’ election.

 

5.19         Liquidated Damages; Remedies Cumulative.  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.  The remedies

 

29



 

provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies available hereunder, at law, or in equity.

For All Investors

 

The Investor certifies that it is a “United States Person” (including a U.S. Resident Alien) (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including income tax regulations) for purposes of U.S. Federal income taxation.  The Investor further certifies that its U.S. taxpayer identification number, as it appears on the Investor Profile Form in this Schedule A, is true and correct.  The Investor further certifies that it is NOT subject to backup withholding because either (1) it is exempt from backup withholding, (2) it has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (3) the IRS has notified it that it is no longer subject to backup withholding.*  The Investor makes these certifications under penalty of perjury and understands that they may be disclosed to the IRS by the Company and that any false statement contained in this paragraph could be punished by fine and/or imprisonment.
