(B)

an Event of Default as set out in clauses 13.1(k), 13.1(l) or 13.1(o) (each, Remediable Event of Default B), if capable of being remedied, has continued for a period of two (2) Business Days, before the Investor may exercise its rights set out in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this clause; and

an Event of Default as set out in clause 13.1(q) (a Remediable Event of Default C), if capable of being remedied, has continued for a period of ten (10) Business Days after notice of such default has been given to the Company by the Investor, before the Investor may exercise its rights set out in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this clause.

(b)

Where an Event of Default has occurred, the Investor shall have:

(i)

no obligation to accept a Conversion or to consummate a Closing under this Agreement; and

the right to postpone the Conversion Dates and the Closing Dates accordingly.

In addition to the remedies set out elsewhere in this clause 14, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Investor may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to it by the Transaction Documents or otherwise permitted to it by Law, including by suit in equity and/or by action at Law.

Termination

shall terminate immediately upon expiration of the Term; and

by the mutual written consent of the Parties, at any time;

by either Party, by written notice to the other Party, effective immediately, if the First Closing has not occurred within ten (10) Business Days of the Execution Date or such later date as the Parties agree in writing, provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause 15.1(b)(ii) is not available to any Party:

(A)

that is in material breach of or default under this Agreement; or

by the Investor, by written notice to the Company, effective as of the date stipulated (in the Investor’s sole discretion) by the Investor in such notice, provided that the Company has given notice to the Investor of its intention to undertake, or has undertaken, or has become required to undertake, a payment in immediately available funds for any reason, (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such right of termination shall not be deemed to have been waived in connection with subsequent payments in immediately available funds, if not exercised in connection with any earlier payment in immediately available funds).

15.2

Effect of Termination

16.

(a)

The Company’s representations and warranties contained in clause 9 of this Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement, and each Closing, Conversion, payment, and other Contemplated Transaction.

(c)

To the extent that any, Conversion or payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, any amount satisfied by such, Conversion or payment shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received, and the rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect.

without limiting anything contained in this clause 16.2, the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents or any of the Contemplated Transactions, or any other instruments, documents or agreements executed pursuant to, or in connection with, any of the items referred to in paragraphs (i) – (iv);

provided, however, that the Company shall not indemnify any Indemnified Person from, or hold any Indemnified Person harmless against, any Losses that result solely from:

(vi)

such Indemnified Person’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, or

(vii)

such Indemnified Person’s fraud, gross negligence or wilful default in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)

Each indemnity set out in this Agreement:

(i)

is a continuing obligation, independent of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement;

(ii)

continues notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement;

(iii)

constitutes a liability of the Company separate and independent from any other liability under this Agreement and under any other agreement; and

(iv)

shall survive, and continue in full force and effect, in accordance with clause 16.1(a).

(e)

The Investor and all other Indemnified Persons are not required to incur any expense or make any payment before enforcing any indemnity under this Agreement.

(f)

The Company acknowledges that the indemnity given under this clause 16.2 is directly enforceable against it by any Indemnified Person. The Investor holds the benefit of this clause 16.2 on trust for any Indemnified Person.

(c)

To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Parties waive and exclude any provision of Law, current or future, which renders any provision of this Agreement illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

(d)

Paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause 17.15 shall be of no force or effect to the extent that the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision of this Agreement would be to cause either Party to lose the material benefit of its economic bargain.

(e)

To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Parties waive and exclude any provision of Law, current or future, which operates to vary the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Company or the Investor in connection with any Transaction Document so that the Investor’s rights, powers, benefits, economic benefit, economic burden or remedies are adversely affected (including by way of delay or postponement).

17.16

Illegality and impossibility

(a)

Without limiting the generality of the Investor’s rights set out elsewhere in this Agreement in connection with the Events of Default if in the reasonable opinion of the Investor, at any time there exists a Law which, or an official or reasonable interpretation of which, makes it, or may make it, illegal or impossible in practice for the Investor to undertake any of the Contemplated Transactions, or render any of the Contemplated Transactions unenforceable, void or voidable, the Investor may, by giving a notice to the Company, suspend or cancel some or all of its obligations under this Agreement, or terminate this Agreement, as indicated in such notice.

This Agreement, including the Annexures and the Disclosure Schedules, and the instruments referenced in this Agreement, supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, both oral and written, between the Parties, their Affiliates, and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.


		47

(b)

Except as specifically set out in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

17.19

No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as set out in clause 16.2, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assignees only, and shall not benefit or create any right, obligation to, or cause of action in or on behalf of, any other person, and no other person may enforce any provision of this Agreement.
