ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1          Transfer Restrictions.
 
(a)           The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with federal and state securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Lender or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.  As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Lender under this Agreement.
 
(b)           The Lender agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on the Note in the following form:
 
NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS NOTE IS CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Lender may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.  Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At the Lender’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
 
 
16

 
 
(c)           If all or any portion of the Note is converted at a time when the applicable Note Shares may be sold under Rule 144(b)(1)(i) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Note Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by the Lender to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Note Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
 
(d)           The Lender agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Lender will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
 
4.2          Integration.  The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Lender or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
 
4.3          Conversion Procedures.  The form of Notice of Conversion included in the Amended and Restated Note sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Lender in order to convert the Amended and Restated Note.  No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Lender to convert their Amended and Restated Note.  The Company shall honor conversions of the Amended and Restated Note and shall deliver the Note Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Loan Documents.
 
4.4          [Intentionally omitted]
 
4.5          Non-Public Information.  Lender acknowledges that it will have access to material non-public information of the Company so long as one more of its principals or designees serves as a director, board observer or officer of the Company.

4.6          Registration Rights.
 
(a)           Piggyback Rights.  The Lender shall have piggy-back registration rights with respect to all of the Securities (except for registrations on Commission Form S-4, S-8 or equivalent forms).  Accordingly, the Company agrees to include all of the Securities (other than Securities that have been previously registered for resale under this Section 4.6(a)) in any registration statement on Form S-1, Form S-3 or equivalent form filed with the Commission, in order to register the resale of such shares pursuant and subject to Rule 415 of the Securities Act.  In addition, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other state securities or state Blue-Sky laws as shall be reasonably requested by the Lender; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall make all filings, disclosures, updates and any other actions which are necessary in order to keep any registration statement which includes any shares issuable upon exercise hereof continuously effective under the Securities Act for at least twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of such registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend the effectiveness of such registration statement for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days after the effective date thereof if the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes that the continued effectiveness thereof would be materially detrimental to the Company because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable (each, a “Material Suspension Event”), and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly; provided, however, that the Company shall not register any securities for resale for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period.  All expenses (other than underwriting discounts, commissions and special counsel fees of the Lender) incurred in connection with registration pursuant to this Section 4.6(a) shall be borne and paid by the Company.
 
(b)          Demand Rights.
 
(i)           Upon written demand by the Lender to the Company, the Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event later than forty-five (45) days thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-1, Form S-3 or other applicable form in order to register the resale of all the Securities that the Lender requests to be registered (other than Securities that have been previously registered for resale under this Section 4.6(b)), pursuant and subject to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the filing date thereof, and (iii) make all filings, disclosures, updates and any other actions which are necessary in order to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act for at least twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of such registration statement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that all of the Securities that are requested by the Lender to be registered on a registration statement pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) are not registered on such registration statement, the Lender shall have the right to demand that the Company register any such remaining unregistered Securities on a subsequent registration statement on Form S-1 or other applicable form as soon as reasonably practicable on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.6(b).
 
 
18

 
 
(ii)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to delay the filing of such registration statement for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, or may suspend the effectiveness of such registration statement after the effective date thereof for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, if, in either case, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes that the filing or continued effectiveness, as the case may be, of such registration statement would be materially detrimental to the Company because such action would cause a Material Suspension Event, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for resale for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period.  All expenses (other than underwriting discounts, commissions and special counsel fees of the Lender) incurred in connection with registration pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) shall be borne and paid by the Company.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b)(i) above, the Lender may not exercise its demand right pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) more than twice.
 
(c)           Rule 144.  The Company shall keep available adequate current public information, as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act, file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (or within any extension periods permitted under applicable regulations of the Commission), as applicable, and provide to the Lender such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lender in order to make available to the Lender the benefits of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,  that may at any time permit the Lender to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-1, Form S-3 or any equivalent form.
 
(d)           Filing of Registration Statement Following Closing.  Without limiting or otherwise prejudicing the rights granted to the Lender pursuant to Sections 4.6(a) through (c) above, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, not later than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, it shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1, Form S-3 or any other equivalent form in order to register the resale of (i) all of the Securities; (ii) all of the “Securities” (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement); (iii) all shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable to the Lender upon the Lender’s exercise of (A) those certain Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of CyberDefender Corporation, each dated May 6, 2009 (Certificate Numbers WC-195 and WC-196), (B) that certain Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of CyberDefender Corporation, dated May 6, 2009 (Certificate Number WC-198) and (C) that certain Common Stock Purchase Warrant purchased by the Lender on March 27, 2009, in each case to the extent that such shares are not subject to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 or other applicable form as of the Closing Date and in each case irrespective of whether the Lender has exercised all or any portion of such warrants as of the Closing Date; and (iv) the “Securities” (as defined in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2009, by and between CyberDefender Corporation, a California corporation (as predecessor in interest to the Company), and the Lander, that such Securities are not subject to an effective registration statement on Form S-1, Form S-3 or other equivalent form as of the Closing Date.  The Company’s obligations relating to the filing and maintenance of such registration statement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of Section 4.6(b) above.

4.7          Reservation and Listing of Note Shares.
 
(a)           The Company shall at all times maintain a reserve from its duly authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Loan Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Loan Documents.
 
(b)           If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the board of directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the seventy-fifth (75th) day after such date.
 
(c)           The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, if required, (iii) provide to the Lender evidence of such listing, if applicable, and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.

4.9          Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold the Lender and its Affiliates, and each of their directors, managers, officers, stockholders, members, employees, investment advisors, brokers and agents, as the case may be, harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, to the extent arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus covering any of the Note Shares, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Lender furnished in writing to the Company by the Lender expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the Lender or the Lender’s proposed method of distribution of Note Shares and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Lender expressly for use in such registration statement, prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto which covers the Note Shares; or (3) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

21

 
 
(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
 
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is judicially determined to be not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(c)           The Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with the Senior Business Advisor on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Business Advisor indemnifying the Senior Business Advisor for any losses, damages or other expenses incurred by the Senior Business Advisor relating to or arising out of the Senior Business Advisor's performance of services as an advisor to the Company.  The Company shall add the Senior Business Advisor as an additional insured under the Company's directors and officers liability insurance policy to the extent such coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms.
 
(d)           From and after the closing of any sale or transfer of the Lender’s rights under the Amended and Restated Note to a third party other than an Affiliate of the Lender, this Section 4.11 shall be of no further force and effect.

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS

6.1           Fees and Expenses.  The amount of legal fees and expenses incurred by the Lender incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents and the Loan Documents shall be added to the original principal balance of the Amended and Restated Note.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Note Shares to the Lender.
 
6.2           Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, including, without limitation, the revolving Credit Note and the Revolving Credit Loan Agreement, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
 
6.3           Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any Business Day, (c) the 2nd Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.
 
6.4           Amendments; Waivers.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, any provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Lender.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
 
6.5           Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
6.6           Successors and Assigns.  Subject to Section 4.11(d) above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (other than by merger).
 
 
26

 
 
6.7           No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
 
6.8           Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.  If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Loan Documents, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
 
6.9           Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
 
6.10         Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
 
 
27

 
 
6.11           Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Loan Documents, whenever the Lender exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Loan Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Lender may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Amended and Restated Note, the Lender shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion notice.
 
6.12           Replacement of Note Shares.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Note Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Note Shares.
 
6.13           Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Lender and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Loan Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Loan Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
6.14           Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or the Lender enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
 
28

 
 
6.15           Usury.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Proceeding that may be brought by the Lender in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Loan Document to which the Lender is a party.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Loan Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Loan Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Loan Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Loan Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Lender with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Lender’s Loan Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Lender to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Lender’s election.
 
6.16           Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Loan Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Loan Documents or any amendments hereto.
