Ownership by the Company If, during Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive creates any work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression that is the subject matter of copyright (such as videotapes, written presentations, or acquisitions, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models, manuals, brochures, or the like) relating to the Company’s business, products, or services, whether such work is created solely by Executive or jointly with others (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s premises or otherwise), including any Work Product, the Company shall be deemed the author of such work if the work is prepared by Executive in the scope of Executive’s employment; or, if the work relating to the Company’s business, products, or services is not prepared by Executive within the scope of Executive’s employment but is specially ordered by the Company as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, or as an instructional text, then the work shall be considered to be work made for hire and the Company shall be the author of the work. If the work relating to the Company’s business, products, or services is neither prepared by Executive within the scope of Executive’s employment nor a work specially ordered that is deemed to be a work made for hire during Executive’s employment by the Company, then Executive hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does assign, to the Company all of Executive’s worldwide right, title, and interest in and to such work and all rights of copyright therein.
Indemnity by the Company The Company agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Arranger, each Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and each Bank and their respective Related Parties (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action asserted by any third party or by the Company or any Borrower if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to the Commitment, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Advance, any drawing under any Letter of Credit, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any relationship or relationship alleged to exist by any Borrower, its Affiliates or any other third party of any Indemnitee to any Borrower related to this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) of this Section 13.12; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company, but the failure to so promptly notify the Company shall not affect the Company’s obligations under this Section 13.12 unless such failure materially prejudices the Company’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. If requested by the Company in writing, such Indemnitee shall in good faith contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit the Company to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which the Company may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give the Company written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Company’s prior written consent. In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 13.12 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that, if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Company, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; provided further that the amount of the legal fees to be reimbursed by the Company shall be limited to an amount reasonably determined following consultation among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective legal counsel, to be equal to the amount that would have been expended if the Indemnitees have been represented by one counsel. Any obligation or liability of the Company to any Indemnitee under this Section 13.12 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Advances and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Banks. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.12 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. This Section 13.12 shall not apply to the extent that the losses, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, liabilities or expenses relate to any Taxes (including withholding Taxes and Other Taxes) for which there may be an indemnification, reimbursement or other payment obligation imposed on the Company or any other Borrower pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.8 and 3.12). No party hereto or any Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
REPURCHASES BY THE COMPANY Without limiting the generality of Section 2.15, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Notes in open market purchases or in negotiated transactions without delivering prior notice to Holders.
Release by the Company Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company, on its own behalf, and on behalf of its respective past, present or future parent entities, divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries, related business entities, shareholders, members, partners, limited partners, present and former directors, managing directors, managers, officers, control persons, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, administrators, heirs, executors, trustees, beneficiaries, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Releasing Parties”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably RELEASE and FOREVER DISCHARGE each of Yazbeck, his respective affiliates and each of his respective past, present or future entities, divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries, related business entities, shareholders, members, partners, limited partners, directors, managing directors, managers, officers, control persons, employees, independent contractors, agents, attorneys, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Yazbeck Released Parties”) from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, debts, liabilities, obligations, sums of money, accounts, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, executions, claims and demands, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, direct or indirect or nominally or beneficially possessed or claimed by any of the Company Releasing Parties, whether the same be at law, in equity or mixed, which such Company Releasing Party ever had, now has, or hereafter can, shall or may have against any or all of the Yazbeck Released Parties, in respect of or arising from the Settled Claims, (collectively the “Company Released Claims” and together with the Yazbeck Released Claims, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Company from bringing appropriate proceedings to enforce the obligations of Yazbeck hereunder, none of which are released hereby until Yazbeck’s receipt of the Settlement Amount.
Termination by the Company This Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Effective Time:
Payment by the Company If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not declared effective within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days following the Due Date, then the Company shall pay the Initial Investor 2% of the purchase price paid by the Initial Investor for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for every thirty day period, or portion thereof, following the one hundred twenty (120) calendar day period until the Registration Statement is declared effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this provision shall not be payable to the extent any delay in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or to act timely by the Initial Investor or its counsel. The above damages shall continue until the obligation is fulfilled and shall be paid within 5 business days after each 30 day period, or portion thereof, until the Registration Statement is declared effective. Failure of the Company to make payment within said 5 business days shall be considered a default. The Company acknowledges that its failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective within said one hundred twenty (120) calendar day period following the Due Date, will cause the Initial Investor to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties' good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to register the Common Stock and deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Debenture.
Payments by the Company The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable. If (i) the Registration Statement(s) covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the SEC on or prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days from the Filing Date, or (ii) after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales of all of the Registrable Securities cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (iii) the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SMALLCAP"), the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") after being so listed or included for quotation, or (iv) the Common Stock ceases to be traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") or any equivalent replacement exchange prior to being listed or included for quotation on one of the aforementioned markets, then the Company will make payments to the Investors in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section 2(c) as partial relief for the damages to the Investors by reason of any such delay in or reduction of their ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity). The Company shall pay to each holder of the Notes or Registrable Securities an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes (and, in the case of holders of Registrable Securities, the principal amount of Notes from which such Registrable Securities were converted) ("OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT"), multiplied by the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) times the sum of: (i) the number of months (prorated for partial months) after the Filing Date or the end of the aforementioned one hundred and twenty (120) day period and prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such period any delays which are solely attributable to changes required by the Investors in the Registration Statement with respect to information relating to the Investors, including, without limitation, changes to the plan of distribution, or to the failure of the Investors to conduct their review of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(h) below in a reasonably prompt manner; (ii) the number of months (prorated for partial months) that sales of all of the Registrable Securities cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement after the Registration Statement has been declared effective (including, without limitation, when sales cannot be made by reason of the Company's failure to properly supplement or amend the prospectus included therein in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but excluding any days during an Allowed Delay (as defined in Section 3(f)); and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial months) that the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX or that trading thereon is halted after the Registration Statement has been declared effective. The term "APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE" means two hundredths (.02). (For example, if the Registration Statement becomes effective one (1) month after the end of such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, the Company would pay $5,000 for each $250,000 of Outstanding Principal Amount. If thereafter, sales could not be made pursuant to the Registration Statement for an additional period of one (1) month, the Company would pay an additional $5,000 for each $250,000 of Outstanding Principal Amount.) Such amounts shall be paid in cash or, at the Company's option, in shares of Common Stock priced at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) on such payment date.
