The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Debenture. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture.
h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
i) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 9. Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, in the event that the Company believes that such notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall so indicate in such notice that it contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries and, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to the Holder, the Company shall publicly disclose the contents of such notice in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission. If the Company does not indicate to the Holder with delivery of such notice that it contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters set forth in such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
