(2) such earlier date as the Company may determine to terminate the Offering in its sole discretion; or
(3) the Outside Closing Date, at which point the Company will have a Closing on all subscriptions that have been received since the most recent Subsequent Closing (the "Final Closing").
(b) Termination of the Offering. The Offering will terminate upon the earlier of the sale of the Maximum Offering or the Outside Closing Date, subject to the Company's right to terminate the Offering earlier. In the event that the Company elects to terminate the Offering prior to the of the Maximum Offering the Company will, if it so desires, hold a Closing for the Subscribed for Units, or, at its sole discretion, return the Subscription Amounts to the Subscriber in accordance with the terms hereof. Any early termination by the Company of the Offering will not affect or otherwise invalidate previously accepted subscriptions for Units. The date on which the Offering is terminated is herein referred to as the "Offering Termination Date." Incomplete subscriptions, or subscriptions for Units received after the Offering Termination Date, will not be accepted.
(c) Company's Closing Deliveries. At the Closing, the Company shall have delivered to the Subscriber if accepted by the Company, (1) a duly countersigned copy of this Agreement dated as of the Closing Date; (2) a certificate in the name of the Subscriber representing the Shares included in the Subscribed for Units; and (3) a duly signed copy of the Warrants in the name of the Subscriber included in the Subscribed for Units (collectively, the "Company's Deliverables").
