5.7 Future Company Offering. The Company hereby grants Purchaser a right of first refusal with respect to any offering of Shares in the future until two (2) years from the date hereof, on the same terms and conditions to be offered or contemplated to be offered to any other purchaser, and shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice of such proposed offering. Upon receipt of the written notice, Purchaser shall have 15 days to provide written notice to exercise its right of first refusal, and thereafter, Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close no later than 15 days after Purchaser’s acceptance. Purchaser may waive its right in writing at any time. The Purchaser’s right of first refusal under this section exempts any Shares sold under the Company’s pre-existing stock purchases agreement with Tumim Stone Capital LLC dated June 28, 2022. After termination of this right or any expiration of the notice period, the Company shall be free to sell to any other purchaser or purchasers without restriction pursuant to this Section 5.7.
21
5.8 Legal Opinions. On or after the 6-month anniversary after the Closing, the Company shall cause its counsel to promptly issue appropriate legal opinions, as and if requested by Purchaser authorizing the public sale of the Shares, such legal opinion to be delivered to the Company’s Transfer Agent no later than 5 business days from the time the Purchaser requests such legal opinion, provided that Purchaser delivers a standard seller representation letter in such form reasonably necessary at the request of Company counsel with respect to the ownership and transfer of such Shares. In the event the foregoing legal opinion is not delivered to Purchaser and the Company’s Transfer Agent within such 7 days after receipt of Purchaser’s representation letter in connection with the Shares for which the legal opinion is requested, this failure would constitute a material default of this Agreement. Accordingly, due to the fact that damages to Purchaser are not readily ascertainable the parties agree that the Company would immediately pay to the Purchaser the sum of $2,500 per day for each calendar day in which the opinion letter is not provided from the Shares.
