14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under
the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of
the registrant, as amended, as of the date of this Registration
Statement, each person who is or was a director, officer or
employee of registrant shall be indemnified by the registrant to
the full extent permitted or authorized by the Business Corporation
Law of the State of New York, provided that no such indemnification
shall be made if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
such person establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad
faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and
were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or
she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage
to which he or she was not legally entitled, and provided further
that no such indemnification shall be required with respect to any
settlement or other non-adjudicated disposition of any threatened
or pending action or proceeding unless the Company has given its
prior consent to such settlement or other disposition.
Under
such law, to the extent that such person is successful on the
merits of defense of a suit or proceeding brought against such
person by reason of the fact that such person is a director or
officer of the registrant, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in
connection with such action. If unsuccessful in defense of a
third-party civil suit or a criminal suit is settled, such a person
shall be indemnified under such law against both (a) expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) and (b) judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the registrant, and with respect to any
criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s
conduct was unlawful. If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought
by or in the right of the registrant, or if such suit is settled,
such a person shall be indemnified under such law only against
expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in the defense or
settlement of such suit if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the registrant.

February 18, 2019
On

Promissory Note with LiquidValue Development Pte Ltd in the
principal sum of $500,000, of which up to $500,000 could be paid by
the conversion of such amount into the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.02 per share, up to a maximum of 14,881 shares of common
stock (the “Maximum Conversion Amount”), at a conversion price of
$33.60 per share. Effective on March 25, 2019, LiquidValue
Development Pte Ltd exercised its conversion option and converted
the Maximum Conversion Amount under the Note. The shares of common
stock were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
March 2019
In

software exclusively in thirteen countries in Asia and Australia,
and non-exclusively, in the U.S. and Middle East. The shares of

On

Fai Ambrose Chan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Mr. Chan purchased
200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of
$9.11 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of
$1,822,200, before deductions for placement agent fees and other
expenses (the “Offering”).

placement agent for the Offering. In connection with the Offering,

state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from
registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, since, among
other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering
and the securities were acquired for investment purposes only and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
thereof.

On
October 16, 2020, the Company issued 662,500 shares of the

shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $6.48
per share, subject to a 19.9% beneficial ownership conversion
limitation based on the total issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company beneficially owned by the holder. There
is no cash or other consideration paid by the holder converting the
shares and, accordingly, there is no cash or other consideration
received by the Company.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) |
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a)
or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. |
|
|
(b) |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue. |
|
|
(c) |
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: |
|
(1) |
For
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall
be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time
it was declared effective. |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
For
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof. |
Signatures
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 2 to Registration
Statement on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Rochester, New York, on
January 14, 2021.
