The Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement and any applicable Transaction Notice. The Company cannot provide any assurances that the Sales Agent will sell any Shares pursuant to the Agreement.
