ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1                               Transfer Restrictions.
 
(a)                                 The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. 
 
(b)                                 The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1 or applicable law, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form (and no other legend of any kind):
 
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS 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.  THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the 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, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser 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 to the Company 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.
 
(c)                                  Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144; (ii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume limitations and the current information requirements are met at such time or (iii) 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 Transfer Agent or the Purchaser if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by the Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any portion of the Preferred Shares are converted at a time when such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume limitations and current information requirements are met at such time 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 Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of: (i) three (3) Trading Days; and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below), each following the receipt by the Company from the Purchaser of a certificate evidencing the Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend and of all other documents and certifications required in order to remove the legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares or Conversion 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 Section 4.  Shares or Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares, as applicable, as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.
 
(d)                                 In addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall, following and subject to the receipt of a written request from the relevant Purchaser, be obligated to pay to the Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of 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 (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the 2nd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by the Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares, or a sale of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares that the Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares, as applicable, on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).
 
(e)                                  The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein and applicable law, and acknowledges 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 upon this understanding.
 
4.2           Acknowledgment of Dilution.  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of the Company, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.  The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction due to such dilution, regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

4.3                               Furnishing of Information; Public Information.
 
(a)                                 Until the earliest of the time that: (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) no Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144, but in no event less than one year from the Closing Date, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act, provided that, if the Company is thereafter no longer required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will, for as long as the Purchaser owns any  Securities, prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144.  The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, within the requirements of and in compliance with the exemption provided by Rule 144.
 
(b)                                 At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c), except for a failure resulting from the actions of the Purchaser for a period of at least five (5) Trading Days (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall, following and subject to the receipt of a written request from the relevant Purchaser, be obligated to pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of the Securities purchased by the Purchaser hereunder and still held by it on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required  for the relevant Purchaser to transfer the Shares or Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which a request for payment was received in connection with such Public Information Failure Payments, retroactively to the date on which the Public Information Failure occurred .  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and the Purchaser 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; provided, however, that the Public Information Failure Payments actually paid to a specific Purchaser will be deducted from any payment due to it by the Company under law.
 
4.4                               Integration.  The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
 
4.5                               Conversion Procedures.  Except as may be required by applicable law or by the rules and regulations of any Trading Market: (i) each form of Notice of Conversion included in the Amended and Restated Articles of Association set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to convert the Preferred Shares (without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required in order to convert the Preferred Shares), (ii) no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser to convert its Preferred Shares, and (iii)  the Company shall honor conversions of the Preferred Shares and shall deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
 
4.6                               Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall (a) by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) furnish a Current Report on Form 6-K, including the Agreement, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act, or include the Agreement as an exhibit to the proxy statement the Company furnishes to the Commission.

(c)           At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the execution of the document governing the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask the Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).  Upon the request of the Purchaser, and only upon a request by the Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to the Purchaser.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, and all other financial terms pertaining to such Subsequent Financing, and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

(d)           In the event the Purchaser desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing it must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Purchaser received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If the Company receives no such notice from the Purchaser as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

(e)           If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Purchaser has received the Pre-Notice, notification by the Purchaser of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing  is less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

(f)            The Company must provide the Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.13, if a definitive agreement in connection with the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not executed for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within sixty (60) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

(g)           The Company and the Purchaser agree that if the Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby the Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

(h)           Unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser that received information pursuant to its request following receipt of the Pre-Notice as set forth in (b) above, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a written notice that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned by the fifth (5th) Business Day following abandonment of the transaction.

4.18         Board Appointment Rights.  Effective as of the Closing Date, the Board of Directors shall consist of five (5) members, four (4) of which shall be independent directors for Nasdaq corporate governance rule purposes. The Company shall appoint two (2) directors selected by Alpha (such persons, collectively the “Board Nominees”) to the Board of Directors, who shall serve as directors in the Company until the end of the first general meeting to take place following the lapse of two years from the Closing Date.  On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Alpha with evidence of the appointment of the Board Nominees by a copy of a resolution of the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders.  The rights granted in this section can be terminated at any time by Alpha, upon written notice to the Company.
 
4.19         Piggyback Registration Rights. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act), or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the share option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall send to the Purchaser a written notice of such determination and if, within 15 calendar days after the date of such notice, the Purchaser (or any permitted successor or assign) shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Conversion Shares that the Purchaser requests to be registered.  Further, in the event that the offering is a firm-commitment underwritten offering, the Company may exclude the Conversion Shares if so requested in writing by the lead underwriter of such offering. In the case of inclusion in a firm-commitment underwritten offering, the Purchaser must sell its Conversion Shares on the same terms set by the underwriters for Ordinary Shares to be sold for the account of the Company.

4.20         Greenshoe.
 
(a)           From the Closing Date until the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, subject to the proviso below, in one or more purchases, additional Preferred Shares with an aggregate subscription amount thereof equal to up to 100% of the Purchaser’s Subscription Amount, at the Per Preferred Share Purchase Price (such securities, the “Greenshoe Securities” and such right to receive the Greenshoe Securities pursuant to this Section 4.20, the “Greenshoe Rights”). The Company shall take all actions required to close the transactions related to the Greenshoe Rights (including without limitations, provide the Purchaser with the deliverables prescribed below), within 5 Trading Days of a duly delivered exercise notice by the Purchaser electing to exercise its Greenshoe Rights. The closing of all transactions contemplated under the Greenshoe Rights shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Greenshoe Closing,” and such date shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Greenshoe Closing Date.”
 
(b)           At the Greenshoe Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with the following deliverables:

(i)                                    a legal opinion of Company US Counsel and Company Israel Counsel, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and shall include an opinion from Company US Counsel that, for purposes of Rule 144, the holding period of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Greenshoe Securities shall be deemed to have commenced on the Greenshoe Closing Date;
 
(iii)          a copy of the Company’s Preferred Shares Registry evidencing a number of Shares equal to the Purchaser’s applicable Subscription Amount with respect to the Greenshoe Rights exercised, divided by the Per Preferred Share Purchase Price, registered in the name of the Purchaser; and
 
(iv)          the Company shall have provided the Purchaser with the Company’s wire instructions, on Company letterhead and executed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer;
 
(c)           On or prior to the Greenshoe Closing, the Purchaser shall transfer the applicable Subscription Amount by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by the Company.

4.21         Most Favorable Nation. As of the Closing Date, and until the earlier of (x) such date that is the thirty six (36) month anniversary of the Closing Date, or (y) such time where Alpha ceases to hold at least  219,298 Preferred Shares, if the Company shall engage in any future financing transactions, other than Exempted Issuances, with any investor, the Company will provide the Purchasers with written notice (the “MFN Notice”) thereof promptly but in no event later than 10 days after the closing of such financing transactions. Included with the MFN Notice shall be a copy of all documentation relating to such financing transaction and shall include, upon written request of the Purchaser, any additional information related to such subsequent investment as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser. In the event the Purchaser reasonably determines that the terms of the subsequent investment are preferable to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser will notify the Company in writing. Promptly after receipt of such written notice from the Purchaser, the Company agrees to amend and restate the terms of this Agreement, to be identical to the instruments evidencing the subsequent investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser (other than in accordance with Section 4.13(b) herein) makes a subsequent investment in the Company in the 18 month period after the Closing Date, such Purchaser may, pursuant to his sole discretion, determine that the terms of this Agreement shall be amended and restated to be identical to the instruments evidencing the subsequent investment.

4.22         Shareholders Meeting. In the event Purchaser will submit a written request (the “Meeting Request”) to the Company to convene a shareholders meeting in order to obtain shareholder approval under the Eighth Part of the Israeli Companies Law (the “Eighth Part Shareholder Approval”), the Company undertakes to use its reasonable best efforts to publish a notice and proxy statement in connection with such shareholders meeting within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the written request and of all required information from the Purchaser, and to convene such shareholders meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable following such notice. The Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Eighth Part Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain the Eighth Part Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call three additional meetings every 45 days thereafter to seek Eighth Part Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Eighth Part Shareholder Approval is obtained or until the Purchaser withdraws the Meeting Request in writing.

5.10         Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date.
 
5.11         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 each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.13         Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the 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 the 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. 
 
5.14         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 (in the case of mutilation), 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.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
 
5.15         Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser 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 contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
 
5.16         Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the 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.
 
5.17         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 Action or Proceeding that may be brought by the 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 thereof 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 the Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser 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 Purchaser’s election.
 
5.18         [RESERVED]
 
5.19         Liquidated Damages.  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.
 
5.20         Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
5.21         Construction.  The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and number of Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
