(b)           At such time as an Investor determines that the issuance or delivery of Reserved Shares to it can be made without violating the first sentence of Section 1.7(a) hereof, then the Investor may request that the Company issue and deliver such number of Reserved Shares as the Investor determines it can so receive without being deemed a Company Affiliate and which it so requests (an “ Issuance Request ”) and the Company shall comply with such Issuance Request as soon as possible thereafter; provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.7, should the Investor in its sole discretion determine that it may be deemed a Company Affiliate prior to the issuance or delivery of the Reserved Shares, the Issuance Request shall specify that the Reserved Shares so requested not be issued or delivered prior to 61 days after such Issuance Request is made (and the provisions of Section 1.7(a) shall continue to apply until the actual issuance or delivery thereof).

 

(c)           To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1.7 applies, the determination of whether a Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Investor) and of which portion of a Note is convertible or that Reserved Shares are issuable or deliverable and how many such Reserved Shares are issuable or deliverable shall be in the sole discretion of such Investor.  To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Investor will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion under a Note or an Issuance Request that such Notice of Conversion or Issuance Request has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 1.7 and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  For purposes of this Section 1.7, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, an Investor may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of an Investor, the Company shall within two business days confirm orally and in writing to an Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by such Investor or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
