Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offering Agreement, the Managers will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions, subject to applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of the NYSE American.
