Option Shares In addition, upon the basis of the warranties and representations and other terms and conditions herein set forth, at the purchase price per share set forth in Section 1(a), the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, to purchase the Option Shares in proportion to the number of Initial Shares set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule I hereto, plus any additional number of Option Shares which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10. The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time (but not more than twice) only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Shares upon notice by the Representatives to the Company setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Shares. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Representatives, but shall not be later than three full business days (or earlier, without the consent of the Company, than two full business days) after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Date, as hereinafter defined. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Shares, the Company will sell to each Underwriter the proportion of the total number of Option Shares then being purchased which the number of Initial Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Shares, and each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Shares then being purchased which the number of Initial Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Shares, subject in each case to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares. The Underwriters may from time to time increase or decrease the public offering price of the Option Shares after the initial public offering to such extent as the Underwriters may determine.
Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 relates to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, you may in your discretion arrange for yourself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, you do not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Shares or Option Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to you to purchase said Firm Shares or Option Shares on such terms. In the event that neither you nor the Company arrange for the purchase of the Firm Shares or Option Shares to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement will automatically be terminated by you or the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.9 and 5 hereof) or the several Underwriters (except as provided in Section 5 hereof); provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Shares, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Shares; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the other Underwriters and to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
