There is no obligation to sell any shares, and the Company may suspend or terminate the agreement at any time.

Risks and Contingencies:
- Market Dependency: Sales are contingent on market conditions and the Company's discretion.
- Termination: The offering terminates upon the sale of all shares or earlier termination of the agreement.
- Legal Compliance: Sales are restricted in jurisdictions where offers would be unlawful prior to registration.
