Jefferies will use its commercially reasonable efforts in conducting such sales activities consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Company upon ten days’ written notice to Jefferies for any reason. Jefferies may terminate the Sales Agreement upon ten days’ written notice to the Company for any reason or at any time under certain circumstances, including but not limited to the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company.
The Sales Agreement provides that Jefferies will be entitled to compensation for its services of 3.0% of the gross sales price of all Shares sold under the Sales Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and Jefferies, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Sales Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and, as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The Shares will be issued to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215776) (the “Registration Statement”), declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 9, 2017.
