a
right of first refusal to provide any Additional Financing (as

(iii), such shares of Common Stock so issued (or securities convertible
into Common Stock so issued) are restricted and do not become freely
or
publicly traded in any respect prior to the two year anniversary
of the
issuance thereof) (each, an “Additional

such Additional Financing (such financing to be negotiated on

of
each such Proposed Term Sheet. If the provisions of the Purchaser
Term
Sheet are at least as favourable to the Company, Iview Parent and/or
such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, as the provisions of the Proposed
Term
Sheet, the Company, Iview, Iview Parent and/or such Subsidiary
shall (a)
either enter into and consummate the Additional Financing transaction
outlined in the Purchaser Term Sheet or (b) choose not to consummate
such
Additional Financing, in which case the Company, Iview and Iview
Parent

Subsidiaries.

other security or instrument, by acquiring or exercising any other right
to
acquire, shares of stock or other security convertible into shares of stock
in
the Company, or otherwise, and such contracts, options, warrants, conversion
or
other rights shall not be enforceable or exercisable) to the extent such
stock
acquisition would cause any interest (including any original issue discount)
payable by the Company to the Purchaser not to qualify as “portfolio
interest”
within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(2) of the Code, by reason of Section 881(c)(3)
of
the Code, taking into account the constructive ownership rules under Section
871(h)(3)(C) of the Code (the “Stock
Acquisition Limitation”).
The
Stock Acquisition Limitation shall automatically become null and void without
any notice to the Company upon the earlier to occur of either (a) the Company’s
delivery to the Purchaser of a Notice of Redemption (as defined in the Company
Note) or (b) the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Company
Note or any other note issued by the Company to the Purchaser) at a time
when
the average closing price of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.
on
the Principal Market for the immediately preceding five trading days is greater
than or equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as
reported by Bloomberg, L.P. in the Principal Market for the five trading
days

|
9.14
|
Currency
Indemnity.
|
If,
for
the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with
respect
to this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, it becomes necessary
to
convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment
Currency”)
any
amount due under this Agreement or under any of the Related Agreements in
any
currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency
Due”),
then
conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate at which the Purchaser is able,
on
the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency
prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given.
In the
event that there is a change in the rate of Exchange Rate prevailing between
the
Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of
receipt by the Purchaser of the amount due, Company will, on the date of
receipt
by the Purchaser, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to
receive
reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that
the
amount received by the Purchaser on such date is the amount in the Judgment
Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date
of
receipt by the Purchaser is the amount then due under this Agreement or such
of
the Related Agreements in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency
Due
which the Purchaser is able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency
Due originally due to it, Company shall indemnify and save the Purchaser
harmless from and against loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency.
The indemnity contained herein shall constitute an obligation separate and
independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the
Related Agreements, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of
action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Purchaser
from
time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any
judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under
this
Agreement or any of the Related Agreements or under any judgment or
order.
