Commencing on the Execution Date and continuing for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, neither the Company nor any subsidiary thereof shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or instruments convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for such shares of Common Stock, with certain exceptions.
Additionally, commencing on the Execution Date and continuing until the earlier of (i) such date when the Convertible Notes are no longer outstanding or (ii) one (1) year thereafter, the Company shall be prohibited from entering into a variable rate transaction.
From the Execution Date and continuing until the date that is one (1) year therefrom, SJC shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any investment proposed to be made by any individual or entity for each and every future public or private equity offering, including a debt instrument convertible into equity of the Company during such period.
The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, obligations of the parties, termination provisions and closing conditions.
