The offering of Placement Shares pursuant to the 2021 Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Placement Shares subject to the 2021 Sales Agreement or (ii) termination of the 2021 Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Sales Agreement, Cowen may sell the Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including, without limitation, sales made through The Nasdaq Global Select Market or on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock. Cowen will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Placement Shares from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay Cowen a commission equal to three percent (3%) of the gross sales proceeds of any Placement Shares sold through Cowen under the 2021 Sales Agreement, and also has provided Cowen with customary indemnification and contribution rights.
