As set forth above, New Lenders may include persons or entities who are already Lenders under this Agreement.
(b) The Company and each New Lender purchasing one or more Notes at an Additional Closing will execute counterpart signature pages to this Agreement, and each New Lender will, upon delivery by such New Lender to the Company of such signature pages, and the payment by such New Lender to the Company of the principal amount of the Note(s) to be purchased by such New Lender and the purchase price for the Warrant(s) to be acquired by such New Lender at such Additional Closing, become a party to, and bound by, this Agreement to the same extent as if such New Lender had been a Lender at the Initial Closing. The obligation of the Company to sell and issue Notes and Warrants to New Lenders at each Additional Closing, and the obligation of each New Lender at each Additional Closing to purchase a Note and Warrant, shall each be subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Agreement, except that unless otherwise set forth therein, each reference in Section 2.3 and 2.4 to the “Closing” shall instead refer to the applicable Additional Closing. Immediately after each Additional Closing, the Schedule of Lenders attached to this Agreement will be amended, without the consent of any other Lender, to add to the names of the New Lenders purchasing Notes and Warrants at such Additional Closing as “Lenders” hereunder and to set forth the principal amount of each Note and the Warrant purchase price for each New Lender under this Agreement. The Company will promptly furnish to each Lender upon request, a copy of the Schedule of Lenders as amended to the date of such request.
The Optional Shares; Option Closing Date In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to an aggregate of [•] Optional Shares from the Company at the purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Shares. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time in whole or in part upon notice by the Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Optional Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the time, date and place at which the Optional Shares will be delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the First Closing Date; and in the event that such time and date are simultaneous with the First Closing Date, the term “First Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of the Firm Shares and such Optional Shares). Any such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the First Closing Date, is called an “Option Closing Date,” and shall be determined by the Representatives and shall not be earlier than two or later than five full business days after delivery of such notice of exercise. If any Optional Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Optional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Optional Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares. The Representatives may cancel the option at any time prior to its expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
