Assignment by the Company The rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Investor.
Payment by the Company If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not declared effective within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days following the Due Date, then the Company shall pay the Initial Investor 2% of the purchase price paid by the Initial Investor for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for every thirty day period, or portion thereof, following the one hundred twenty (120) calendar day period until the Registration Statement is declared effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this provision shall not be payable to the extent any delay in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or to act timely by the Initial Investor or its counsel. The above damages shall continue until the obligation is fulfilled and shall be paid within 5 business days after each 30 day period, or portion thereof, until the Registration Statement is declared effective. Failure of the Company to make payment within said 5 business days shall be considered a default. The Company acknowledges that its failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective within said one hundred twenty (120) calendar day period following the Due Date, 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 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, the Subscription Agreement and the Debenture.
Resignation by the Executive Executive may voluntarily resign from his employment with the Company, provided that Executive shall provide the Company with thirty (30) days advance written notice (which notice requirement may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Company in its sole discretion) of his intent to resign. If Executive so terminates his employment with the Company, other than in accordance with Section 4.5, the Company shall have no obligation other than the payment of the Accrued Obligations to the effective date of such termination.
Acceptance of Employment by the Executive The Executive hereby accepts such employment and shall render the services and perform the duties described above.
Acknowledgments by the Employee The Employee acknowledges that (a) during the Employment Period and as a part of his employment, the Employee will be afforded access to Confidential Information; (b) public disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Employer and its business; (c) since the Employee possesses substantial expertise and skill with respect to the Employer's business, the Employer desires to obtain exclusive ownership of each Employee Invention, and the Employer will be at a substantial competitive disadvantage if it fails to acquire exclusive ownership of each Employee Invention; (d) the Compensation provided to Employee hereunder constitutes good and sufficient consideration for the Employee's agreements and covenants in this Section 7; and (e) the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information and to provide the Employer with exclusive ownership of all Employee Inventions.
Termination of Employment by the Executive During the Term, the Executive may terminate employment with the Company with or without Good Reason (as defined below) by delivering to the Company, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, a written notice of termination; provided, that, if such termination of employment is by the Executive with Good Reason, such notice shall state in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances that constitute Good Reason. This provision does not change the at-will nature of Executive's employment, and the Company may end Executive's employment, pursuant to Executive's notice, prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) days' notice.
