To the extent the Investor exercises its pre-emptive rights in connection with the issue and sale of additional shares of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to the over-allotment option related to the offering the terms of this Agreement will apply to the offering of such additional shares (the “Green-Shoe Offering”) and references in this Agreement to the “Offering” shall be deemed to be references to the “Green-Shoe Offering” and the Company and the Investor agree that the Company will repurchase an additional number of shares of Series C on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein. |
3. | Repurchase Date. The Number of Shares shall be repurchased on the date the Company shall issue, sell and deliver to Investor and the Investor shall purchase from the Company the Common Stock in the Offering, concurrently with such issuance, sale, delivery and purchase. The date of such repurchase shall be the “Repurchase Date.” |
4. | Delivery of Securities and Funds. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Repurchase Date the Company shall deliver to the Investor an amount in USD equal to the product of the Repurchase Price and the Number of Shares (such amount to be delivered in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Investor to the Company not less than two Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date) and the Investor shall deliver to the Company the Number of Shares. |
5. | Closing Condition. The obligation of the Company to complete the transaction contemplated by Section 4 hereof (the “Series C Repurchase”) shall be conditioned on the Investor having purchased and acquired Common Stock in the Offering. |
