Common use of Standby Commitment Clause in Contracts

Standby Commitment. (a) The Purchasers hereby commit, jointly but not severally, (the "Standby Commitment") that, in addition to the payment of the Purchase Price, they shall provide the Company (on a pro rata basis based on the allocation of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof), at the Company's option up to an aggregate of $12 million (the "Commitment Amount") at any time prior to January 1, 2001 in one or more tranches as requested by the Company; provided, however, that the Commitment Amount shall be reduced by the gross proceeds received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the issuance after the date hereof of any equity or convertible securities, (excluding financing provided by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement and any trade payables and other financing arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business, but including, for purposes of clarification, the Next Round). The Standby Commitment shall be provided on terms that are consistent with those in the market at the time the Standby Commitment is drawn for similar investments by investors similar to the Purchasers in companies similar to the Company. (b) The Company shall notify the Purchasers in writing within two Business Days of the receipt of any funds that would reduce the Commitment Amount; provided that the Commitment Amount shall automatically be reduced whether or not the Company provides such notice.
