The Corporation shall give the Purchaser reasonable notice of any proposed issuance as soon as practicable and in any event not less than 10 days before the scheduled closing thereof, with reasonable particulars thereof, and shall forthwith advise the Purchaser of any anticipated or actual delays and of any anticipated or actual changes in terms.
