(g) Transfer Agent Instructions.
 
(i) FNDM shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each holder of the Warrant or Reset Note or their respective nominee(s), for the number of Warrant Shares or Note Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant or conversion of the Reset Note, as the case may be, as specified from time to time by each holder of Warrant to FNDM upon exercise of the Warrant or as specified by each holder of the Reset Note to FNDM upon conversion of the Reset Note, as the case may be.

(iii) FNDM acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3(g) will cause irreparable harm to a holder of the Warrant or the Reset Note.  Accordingly, FNDM acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3(g) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by FNDM of the provisions of this Section 3(g), that a holder of the Securities shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(e) Titles and Subtitles; Interpretation.  The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

(j) Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
 
(k) Delays or Omissions.  No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
 
(l) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedule hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing among the parties are expressly canceled.
 
(m) Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution.  The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.
 
 
26

(o) Publicity. The Company and Purchaser shall consult with the Members in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other communications with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the Parties shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without the prior consultation with the other Parties, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Parties with prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Purchaser shall publicly disclose the name of any Member or include the name of any Member, without the prior written consent of such Member in any other press release or public statement or filing, except to the extent the Company and Purchaser have been advised by its counsel that such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Company and Purchaser shall provide such Member with prior notice of such disclosure.
