Pursuant to this contract, you agreed to the following:

Your agreement is an absolute, binding and irrevocable commitment. If the Company fails to perform their obligations under the Placing Agreement or we exercise our right to terminate the Placing Agreement, the placement of the Allocated Shares to you may be terminated and if so, we will notify you as soon as possible, in which case all obligations and liabilities arising in connection with the placement of the Allocated Shares to you shall cease and be terminated. In such circumstances, any amount received from you in respect of the Allocated Shares will be refunded (without interest), and you will have no further claim against us. |
