result of any of Windrace’s Obligations being or becoming

or not known to the Investors), the amount of such costs, expenses,

|
|
|

|
|
|

shall, together with such payment, pay to the Investors such
additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the Investors
receive the full amount due hereunder.
|
|
|
