5.4 With each transfer of the Shares and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares" and, together with the Shares and the Warrants, the "Securities") the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate representing such shares and, if required by applicable law and legally permissible, a written opinion of counsel for the Company stating that said shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and that the issuance and eventual transfer of them to EraStar has been duly authorized by the Company. Company warrants that all Securities issued to EraStar pursuant to this Agreement shall have been or shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and that the issuance and any transfer of them to EraStar has been duly authorized by the Company's board of directors.
5.5 EraStar acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and accordingly are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act. As such, the Securities may not be resold or transferred unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such resale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirement s of that Securities Act. The Company agrees to take any and all action(s) reasonable and legally permissible to clear the subject securities of restriction upon presentation of any Rule 144(d) application by EraStar or its broker, including, but not limited to: (1) Authorizing the Company’s transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the subject securities; (2) Expediting either the acquisition of a legal opinion from Company's counsel authorizing the rem oval of the restrictive legend, or accepting a third party legal opinion acknowledging same; and (3) Cooperating and communicating with EraStar and its broker in order to use Company's best efforts to clear the subject securities of restriction as soon as possible after presentation of a Rule 144(d) application by EraStar (or its broker) to either the Company and/or the Company's transfer agent. Further, the Company agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay approval of any application filed by EraStar under Rule 144(d) of the Act to clear the subject securities of restriction.
-3-
● | EraStar and the Company acknowledge and agree that EraStar will suffer irreparable harm and anticipated and actual damages in the event that the Company unreasonably withholds or delays any Rule 144(d) application by EraStar to either the Company or the Company's transfer agent. The Company agrees that money damages could not compensate EraStar for its irreparable harm. |
● | EraStar and the Company therefore agree that the Company shall have a period of ten (10) business days from the date EraStar's Rule 144(d) application is tendered to either the Company or its transfer agent by either EraStar and/or its broker, to take any and all necessary action to clear the subject securities of restriction, consistent the covenants in Section above. The Company and EraStar agree that this ten (10) day period is reasonable and consistent with industry standards concerning the handling and processing of restricted securities under Rule 144 by publicly traded companies. The Company also acknowledges that EraStar's ability to clear the subject securities of restriction, by virtue of the Company's best efforts, cooperation, covenants and representations in this regard is a material part of this Agreement and is a reason able and material expectation of EraStar in entering into this Agreement. Should events occur that require further expense of time beyond this ten (l0) day time period, the Company and EraStar shall reasonably agree in a writing signed by each to an extension for a specific amount of time. In no event shall an extension be agreed to unless the Company comports with its "best efforts" obligations, as set out above, and communicates with EraStar bona fide and reasonable attempts at meeting Company's obligations to clear the subject restricted securities, as described herein. Any written extension herein may be executed in counterparts by the principals of the Company and EraStar, and facsimile signatures may be tendered in lieu of originals. It is agreed that the separate signature of each principal on any agreement to extend time shall be deemed a complete original. |
● | Should the Company fail to successfully take any and all reasonable and legally permissible actions necessary to clear the subject securities of restriction within the ten (10) day time period after EraStar or its broker's presentation of a Rule 144(d) application , or seek to extend time as provided and in light of the irreparable harm that EraStar will suffer i n the event of any intentional and/or unintentional delay i n EraStar's Rule 144(d) application , Company herein irrevocably consents and agrees that EraStar shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to immediately enforce EraStar's right to removal of the restrictive legend on the Company's securities. Company further agrees that EraStar shall be entitled to immediately seek the injunctive relief contemplated and described herein in the Superior Court of Nevada, Clarke County. Both the Company and EraStar agreed that EraStar's access to injunctive relief; and the Company' s consent to EraStar's ability to obtain such injunctive relief shall not otherwise amend, supersede or modify the parties' agreement to submit any other disputes to mediation and arbitration as provided herein. |
