“(c) Subsequent Closings:

Upon the achievement by the Company of the respective Milestones set forth in Schedule 1(dd) hereto (unless waived by Rusnano in its sole discretion), and the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions to the Second Closing, Third Closing and Fourth Closing set forth in Schedule 5.1(c)(ii) to Rusnano’s satisfaction (in Rusnano’s sole discretion), Rusnano shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire additional shares of Preferred Stock of the Company for a purchase price per share of $1,057 (as adjusted for stock splits, share combinations, consolidations or similar changes to the share capital of the Company) within 30 days (subject to additional extension of time deemed necessary by Rusnano) of each respective Second Closing, Third Closing and Fourth Closing; provided that if Rusnano elects, in its discretion, to exercise any of its Warrants (as set
