THESE SECURITIES HAVE 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.
16.4 Upon the request of the Lender for a certificate representing any Securities issuable pursuant hereto, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to remove the foregoing legend from the certificate and issue to the Lender a new certificate free of any transfer legend if:
(a) | without an effective registration statement with such request, Borrower shall have received either: | ||
(i) | an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in such circumstances, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such certificate, or | ||
(ii) | satisfactory representations from the Lender that the Lender is eligible to sell such security under Rule 144; or | ||
(b) | a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such securities is in effect. |
17. WAIVER
17.1 The Lender may waive any breach by the Borrower of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in the Security Documents or any default by the Borrower in the observance or performance of any covenant or condition required to be observed or performed by the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement or any of the Security Documents; but any waiver by the Lender of such breach or default, or any failure to take any action to enforce its rights hereunder or under any of the Security Documents, will not extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent breach or default or the rights resulting therefrom.
18. REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS
18.1 Any Event of Default by the Borrower under this Agreement or under any of the Security Documents will constitute an Event of Default under the remainder of the Security Documents.
- 17 -
18.2 All rights and remedies stipulated for the Lender hereunder or in any of the Security Documents will be deemed to be in addition to and not restrictive of the right and remedies which the Lender might be entitled to at law or in equity; and the Lender may realize on the Security Documents or any part thereof in any manner and in such order as it may be advised, and any such realization by any means will not bar realization of any other security or any part or parts thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, nor will any failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, or any delay in exercising any rights under this Agreement or any of the Security Documents operate as a waiver.
18.3 The acceptance by the Lender of any further security or of any payment of or on account of any of the Borrowers Indebtedness after a Default or of any payment on account of any past Default will not be construed to be a waiver of any right in respect of any future default or of any past default not completely cured thereby; and the Lender may, in its uncontrolled discretion, exercise any and all rights, powers, remedies and recourses available to it in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Documents concurrently or individually without the necessity of any election.
19. LAPSE AND CANCELLATION PERIODIC REVIEW
19.1 If, in the opinion of the Lender, any material adverse change in risk occurs or if the Borrower fails to comply with the conditions herein, then the Lenders obligations to continue to make Advances hereunder may, at the option of the Lender, be withdrawn or cancelled.
20. THE LENDER
20.1 Capella and Sinecure will be equal in all respects of this Agreement and the rights and obligations it imposes. Each Advance made will be divided between the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and each will rank equally with the other in respect of all rights conferred and payments made. Each Lender is jointly and severally liable for all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
21. MISCELLANEOUS
21.1 If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing any judgment on any matter under this Agreement in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter called the Judgment Currency) an amount due in respect of the Borrowers Indebtedness, then the conversion shall be made at the option of the Lender at the Rate of Exchange prevailing either on the Business Day before the date of default or on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given (the date as of which such conversion is made being hereinafter called the Currency Conversion Date). If there is a change between the Rate of Exchange in effect on the Conversion Date (or any other date which shall be specified in any judgment or judicial award) and the Rate of Exchange in effect on the date of payment, then the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay such additional amounts, if any, but in any event not a lesser amount, as may be necessary, together with the amount paid in the Judgment Currency converted at the Rate of Exchange in effect on the date of
- 18 -
payment, to produce the amount in the currency of the said amount due in respect of the Borrowers Indebtedness which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the Rate of Exchange in effect on the Currency Conversion Date or such other date as specified in such judgment or judicial award. Any amount due under this clause shall be due as a separate and independent debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for amounts otherwise due under or in respect of the Borrowers Indebtedness. For the purposes of this clause, Rate of Exchange means, for any relevant date and currency, the spot rate at which any large commercial bank, in accordance with its normal practice, is able on the relevant date to purchase such currency with the Judgment Currency and includes premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.
21.2 Each of the parties hereto will forthwith at all times, and from time to time, at the Borrowers sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, documents and assurances which, in the opinion of a Lender, acting reasonably, are necessary or advisable for the better accomplishing and effecting of the intent of this Agreement.
21.3 The Borrower will pay all legal costs, registration fees and other costs incurred by the Lender in investigating title, preparing this Agreement and the Security Documents and in perfecting the security for the Borrowers Indebtedness
21.4 None of the execution and delivery of the Security Documents, the registration of the Security Documents and making of any Advance will in any way merge or extinguish this Agreement or the terms and conditions hereof, which will continue in full force and effect.
21.5 In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement and any of the provisions of the Security Documents, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail; but the omission from this Agreement of any covenant, agreement, term, or condition contained in any of the Security Documents will not be considered to be an inconsistency or a conflict.
21.6 Neither this Agreement nor any benefits hereunder may be transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower to any Person without the prior written consent of the Lender.
21.7 No amendment, waiver or modification of, or agreement collateral to, this Agreement or any of the Security Documents will be enforceable against the Lender unless it is by a formal instrument in writing expressed to be a modification of this Agreement or the Security Documents, as the case may be, and executed in the same fashion as this Agreement.
21.8 All covenants and other agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and enure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any transferee) whether so expressed or not; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person.

21.15 All covenants hereunder will be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant will not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.
21.16 Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
