The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the securities in the form required pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Closing could result in economic loss to the Investor.  After the Effective Date, as compensation to the Investor for late issuance of such shares (delivery of securities after the applicable closing), the Company agrees to make payments to the Investor in accordance with the schedule below where the number of days overdue is defined as the number of business days beyond the close with amount due being cumulative.  Notwithstanding this Section 2.4, the Company shall not be liable to the Investor in the event that a delay in the delivery of the securities is due to circumstances outside of the Company’s control.

 

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.  Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Investor to pursue damages for the Company’s failure to comply with the issuance and delivery of securities to the Investor.
