Subsequent Placements (a) Except for entering into a new credit agreement approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, for so long as Purchasers and/or their Affiliates hold at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Subsequent Placement Period”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”) unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4.4(a).
(i) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice (the “Offer”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange of the securities being offered in a Subsequent Placement (the “Offered Securities”), which Offer shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with Purchaser on the same terms as those set forth in the Subsequent Placement a portion of the Offered Securities based on such Purchaser’s pro rata percentage holdings of the outstanding Common Stock at the time of the Offer (the “Basic Amount”), and with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).
(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, a Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company within ten (10) Trading Day(s) after receipt of the Offer, setting forth the portion of the Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then the Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), the Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase on that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.
(iii) The Company shall have sixty (60) Trading Days from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.4(a)(ii) above to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the “Refused Securities”), but only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not materially more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or materially less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.
(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.4(a)(iii) above), then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to such Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.4(a)(i) above.
(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser and their respective counsel.
(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Purchasers or other Persons in accordance with Section 4.4(a)(iii) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(b) The restrictions contained in paragraph (a) of this Section shall not apply to Excluded Stock.

Salary Placement Entry-level placement on the salary schedule shall be at the lowest step of the schedule for the classification or at the hourly rate established for the classification, unless the District authorizes hiring at a higher rate.
Placement Units On the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, as applicable, the Placement Units have been purchased as provided for in the Sponsor Unit Purchase Agreement and the requisite portion of the purchase price for such securities specified herein and therein shall be deposited into the Trust Account.
Subsequent Financings Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company enters into any capital raising transaction, including without limitation an equity line transaction, a loan transaction or the sale of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether or not permitted under the Transaction Documents (“Subsequent Financing”), then following the closing of each such Subsequent Financing the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion may compel the Company to redeem up to the entire outstanding balance of the Note from the gross proceeds therefrom (“Redemption Amount”), provided however (a) if the Holder is holding other convertible notes similar to this Note whether issued prior or after the Issue Date of this Note (collectively with this Note, the “Notes”), the Redemption Amount may be applied to redeem any or all of the Notes specified by the Holder, (b) the Holder shall be notified in writing of the closing of each such Subsequent Financing within one (1) day following such closing, and (c) the Holder may elect not to exercise its right to such redemption in whole or in part, in which case the Company may not redeem any Notes in connection with such Subsequent Financing to the extent so rejected (for clarification, if the holder elects to reject any redemption in any instance, such rejection shall not affect the Holder’s redemption rights hereunder in the future). Further, in the event that the Holder demands redemption of a portion or the full balance of the Note within the first six (6) months from Note’s Issue Date, such Redemption Amount shall subject to then then applicable Prepayment Factor, as defined in the Note shall be applied). To the extent the Company is obligated to redeem any portion of the Notes pursuant to this Section but fails to do so, such default shall constitute an Event of Default under all the Notes.

The Sponsor shall not have conversion rights with respect to the Insider Shares nor shall the Sponsor be entitled to sell such Insider Shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with a proposed Business Combination. If the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised by the Underwriters in full or in part, the Sponsor shall forfeit such number of Insider Shares, up to a maximum of 562,500 Insider Shares, as is necessary to maintain the Sponsor’s 20% beneficial ownership in the Company’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Offering and the exercise, if any, of the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option but excluding the issuance of the Private Units and the purchase of any shares in the Offering.

The purchase price for the Private Units and Private Warrants shall have been delivered to CST&T or counsel for the Company or the Representative to hold in a separate escrow account at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date hereof so that such funds are readily available to be delivered to the Trust Account on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be.
