This reservation shall cover a total of 9,090,959 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and shall be held exclusively in the name of Liqueous LP or its designee. The reservation shall remain in effect until such time as all shares have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and applicable amendments, or until otherwise released in writing by Liqueous LP or its designee. The Company shall provide written confirmation to Liqueous LP or its designee from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust evidencing the reservation within three (3) business days of the execution of this Amendment.
