As soon as practicable after an Automatic Exercise Event, the Company shall deliver a notice of such Automatic Exercise Event to each of the holders of the Warrants. Upon delivery of the Warrants to the Company by a holder thereof and such holder becoming a party to the Stockholders' Agreement, if such holder shall not already be a party thereto, the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered to such holder within five business days a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock issuable as a result of such Automatic Exercise Event. The stock certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified by the Warrant holders and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name or names as shall be designated by the Warrant holders . Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares, including to the extent permitted by law the right to vote such shares or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder (subject to the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement), as of the time of the Automatic Exercise Event; provided that such shares shall be subject to the provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement. All Warrant Shares issuable upon an Automatic Exercise Event shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and other encumbrances thereon, other than liens or other encumbrances created by the holder thereof or the restrictions set forth in the Stockholders' Agreement. The Company will not close its books against the transfer of a Warrant or of any Warrant Shares in any manner which interferes with the exercise of a Warrant pursuant to an Automatic Exercise Event. The Company will from time to time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of a Warrant pursuant to an Automatic Exercise Event is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect.
