Each Put set forth in a separate Put Notice shall be for an aggregate Put Amount that is in an integral multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000); provided, that if the Share Price for any Put would result in a fractional number of Shares using an otherwise qualifying Put Amount, then the number of Shares shall be reduced to the next lowest whole number of Shares, and the total Put Amount for that particular Put shall be adjusted accordingly without being deemed in violation of the requirements of this Section. The Company shall send wire transfer instructions to Subscriber for each Put Notice.

Section 2.3. Mechanics of Purchase of Shares by Subscriber. The purchase by Subscriber of Shares subject to a particular Put (a “Closing”) is entirely at the discretion of the Subscriber and shall occur on a date chosen by Subscriber and set forth in the executed Put Notice (the “Closing Date”). The Closing Date chosen by Subscriber for a particular Put shall be no later than ten (10) Trading Days following the applicable Put Notice Date. If Subscriber fails to return a counter-signed copy of a Put Notice that includes an eligible Closing Date within seven (7) Trading Days following the Put Notice Date, then the Closing Date for the Put subject to such Put Notice will be the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the applicable Put Notice Date; provided, that if Subscriber sends a written notice to the Company within such seven (7) Trading Day period stating that Subscriber does not intend to close the Put then there will be no Closing with respect to such Put Notice. The delivery of written notice from Subscriber indicating their intention not to close the Put will not affect the right of the Company to deliver subsequent Put Notices as contemplated in this Agreement. On or before the applicable Closing Date for a particular Put, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company the Put Amount to be paid for the Shares subject to such Put, according to the wire transfer instructions provided by the Company. At each Closing, and effective as of the Closing Date, the Company shall be deemed to make the representations set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, and Subscriber shall be deemed to make the representations set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement.
