subject to the following restrictive legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE
COMPANY'S REGISTRATION STATEMENT INITIALLY FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON ______________, 1999, AND
MAY BE SOLD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANY'S PROSPECTUS DATED
_______, 1999, WHICH FORMS A PART OF SUCH REGISTRATION STATEMENT,
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE
CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(b) Opinion Letter. It shall be the Company's responsibility to take all
necessary actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Certificate of Common
Stock as provided herein, including the responsibility and cost for delivery of
an opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required. The person in whose
name the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a
shareholder of record on and after the date of issuance. Upon surrender of any
Share certificates that are to be sold in part, the Company shall issue to the
Purchaser new Share Certificates equal to the unsold amount.
(c) Once the Common Stock has been registered, if the Common Stock is not
delivered per the written instructions of the Purchaser, within 5 (five)
business days after the Company receives the Share certificates from the
Purchaser, then in such event the Company shall pay to Purchaser one-half of one
percent (.50%) in cash, of the purchase price of the Shares delivered to the
Company per each day after the fifth business day following the receipt by the
Company that the Common Stock is not delivered. The Company acknowledges that
its failure to deliver the Common Stock within said five (5) business days 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
13
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 and the Subscription Agreement.
The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section 4(c) in
immediately available funds within three (3) business days from the date of
issuance of the applicable Common Stock. Nothing herein shall limit a
Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue
and deliver Common Stock to the Purchaser within five (5) business days after
registration and after the Company receives the Share certificates from the
Purchaser.
(d) The Company shall at all times reserve and have available all Common
Stock necessary for registration of all the Shares purchased by all Purchasers
of the Shares. It at any time the Company does not have sufficient authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock available for registration ("Default", the
date of such default being referred to herein as the "Default Date"), the
Company shall issue to the Purchaser all of the shares of Common Stock which are
available. The Company shall provide notice of such Default ("Notice of
Default") to all Purchasers, within one (1) business day of such default (with
the original delivered by overnight or two day courier).
The Company agrees to pay to all Purchasers of outstanding Shares payments
for a Default ("Default Payments") in the amount of (N/365) x (.24) x the
initial issuance price of the outstanding Shares held by each Purchaser where N
= the number of days from the Default Date to the date (the "Authorization
Date") that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
to effect of all remaining Shares. The Company shall send notice ("Authorization
Notice") to each Purchaser of outstanding Shares that additional shares of
Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization Date and the amount of
Purchaser's accrued Default Payments. The accrued Default shall be paid in cash
which payments shall be made to such Purchaser of outstanding Shares by the
fifth day of the following calendar month following registration of all the
Shares.
5. LIMITS ON AMOUNT OF CONVERSION AND OWNERSHIP.
Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, in no event except with respect to a
conversion pursuant to redemption by the Company if there is (a) a public
