Within two business days following a second investment of $135 million by PIC (the “Second Closing”) pursuant to that Share Purchase Agreement, effective as of November 18, 2013 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and PIC, the Company will be required to pay to Allied an additional $85 million in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, and an additional $25 million will be deemed to be advanced to Allied under the Convertible Subordinated Note. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Second Closing is scheduled to occur on the later of (i) 90 days after February 21, 2014 and (ii) as soon as practicable after the conditions to the Second Closing are satisfied, but in no event later than the fifth business day thereafter. At the Second Closing, PIC will receive an additional 188,442,211 shares of Common Stock in a private placement.
