16

 
 
6.6 In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon  (i) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in either case only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is (A) made in reliance on and in conformity with any information furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company concerning such Holder specifically for inclusion in the offering documents relating to such offering, and (B) is not corrected by such Holder and distributed to such Holder within a reasonable period of time.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, no Holder shall be required to indemnify any person pursuant to this paragraph or to contribute pursuant to Section 6.7 below in an amount in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any portion of a Holder’s Exchange Preferred Shares are converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Exchange Conversion Shares, or if such Exchange Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if such Exchange Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Exchange Conversion Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Exchange Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Time or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 8.4(c), it will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by a Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with same day written notice to the Company) of a certificate representing Exchange Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fifth Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder 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 the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.  Certificates for Exchange Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Holder.  For purposes of this agreement, “Transfer Agent” means Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the current transfer agent of the Company, with a mailing address of 17 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004, and a telephone number of 212-509-4000, and any successor transfer agent of the Company.

(d) In addition to such Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Holder, in cash or in Ordinary Shares at the Company’s sole option, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Exchange Conversion Shares (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend.  The Company may, at its election, pay such liquidated damages in cash or with Ordinary Shares valued at the VWAP for each day such liquidated damages accrue.  Nothing herein shall limit such Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Exchange Conversion Shares as required by this Agreement, and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  If a Holder shall make a sale or transfer of Exchange Conversion Shares and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate representing such Exchange Conversion Shares that is free from all restrictive or other legends by the Legend Removal Date and (2) following such Legend Removal Date and prior to the time such Exchange Conversion Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the Holder, or any third party on behalf of such Holder, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of such Exchange Conversion Shares (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (for costs incurred either directly by such Holder or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for the Ordinary Shares as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Holder as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates.  The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy In.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Holder requires the Company to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely deliver certificates hereunder and the Company timely pays in full such payment, the Company shall not be required to pay such Holder liquidated damages under this Section 8.4(d) in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In.
 
(e) Each Holder, severally and not jointly with the other Holders, agrees with the Company that such Holder will sell any Exchange Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if any Exchange Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 8.4 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
