Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company issues securities, other than Company Common Stock, that are exchangeable for, or convertible into, or otherwise exercisable for, shares of the Company Common Stock, the Investor shall only be entitled to exercise its right to subscribe for or purchase Preemptive Rights Shares pursuant to this Section 2.7 immediately prior to the time that the shares of Company Stock underlying such securities become issued, with such right subject to the actual issuance of the applicable underlying shares of Company Common Stock. (b) The Company shall provide the right contemplated by Section 2.7(a) to the Investor by delivering a written notice to the Investor (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) stating (i) the Company’s intention to issue New Securities, (ii) the amount of such New Securities that the Company proposes to issue in the aggregate and, correspondingly, the number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Investor is entitled to subscribe for or purchase and (iii) the price of such New Securities (or (x) if such prices are not clearly identifiable, as may be in the case of an Equity Issuance, such effective price per share as is reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, which shall in no event be greater than the then-applicable market price of the Company Common Stock or (y) in the case of issuances of restricted stock, the fair market value of such restricted stock as determined by the Company in the ordinary course in connection with such issuance) of the Preemptive Rights Shares.

The delivery of the Acceptance Notice shall be evidence of the Investor’s irrevocable commitment to subscribe for or purchase the number of Preemptive Rights Shares indicated in the Acceptance Notice for the price indicated in the Preemptive Rights Notice, and the consummation of the subscription for or sale and purchase of the Preemptive Rights Shares shall occur concurrently with or as promptly as practicable following the Company’s issuance of the corresponding New Securities.

The consummation of such purchase by the Purchaser shall be conditioned on the simultaneous or prior consummation fifteen percent (15%) of the sale described in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit NewCo’s consummation of the sale set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights to third parties prior to the sale of Covered Securities to the Purchaser hereunder as long as NewCo has provided Purchaser the required notice hereunder and the Purchaser is simultaneously with or promptly after such consummation provided the opportunity to purchase the amount of Covered Securities that it would have been entitled to purchase if such issuance had occurred at the same time. (c) Any Covered Securities covered by a Notice of Preemptive Rights which are not purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.12(b) may be sold by NewCo to a third party or parties at any time within 180 days following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period specified in Section 8.12(b); provided that each of the price and the other terms and conditions of such sale are not more favorable to such third parties than as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale or issuance of Covered Securities other than in compliance with this Section 8.12(c) will require delivery of a new Notice of Preemptive Rights.IPO Shares actually included in
