- Review the full text of the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "Variable Rate Transactions."
- Confirm the current status of the Company's shelf registration statement to ensure the $6.0 million cap is not limited by remaining capacity.
