Since December 31, 2020, the Company has not suffered any Material Adverse Effect and no event has occurred, and no circumstance exists, that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no liabilities, obligations or commitments of any nature whatsoever, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, matured or unmatured or otherwise except those which are adequately reflected or reserved against in the most recent financial statements other than (i) those which are adequately reflected or reserved against in the most recent Financial Statements, (ii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2020; (iii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business (other than as a result of a breach or default of the Company thereunder); and (iv) liabilities and obligations of a type or nature not required under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in all such cases, individually and in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.7. Title to Assets. The Company has good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company, in each case free and clear of all Liens except for (a) Liens arising under, or permitted pursuant to, the Security Agreement, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, (b) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and (c) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved and the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company are held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company is in compliance.

2.8. SEC Reports. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents, required to be filed by the Company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for the two years preceding the Effective Date (the foregoing materials, in addition to all schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the two years preceding the Effective Date, including any amendments thereto, the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act.

2.9. Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. No Purchaser shall have any obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 2.9 that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

2.10. Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

2.11. Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

2.12. Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the Effective Date, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is required to and has made current filings under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

2.13. No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, neither the Company, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act.

2.14. Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company (a) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (b) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, and (c) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

2.15. No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

2.16. Foreign Corrupt Practices. None of the Company or, the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company has: (a) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (b) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (c) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (d) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA. The Company further represents that it has maintained, and has caused each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to maintain, systems of internal controls (including, but not limited to, accounting systems, purchasing systems and billing systems) and written policies to ensure compliance with the FCPA or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law, and to ensure that all books and records of the Company accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, all transactions and dispositions of funds and assets. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors or employees are the subject of any allegation, voluntary disclosure, investigation, prosecution or other enforcement action related to the FCPA or any other anti-corruption law.

2.17. No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers; Outstanding SEC Comments. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company is or, immediately after the Initial Closing, will be current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants which could affect the Company’s ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents. There are no unresolved comments or inquiries received by the Company or its Affiliates from the Commission which remain unresolved as of the Effective Date.

2.18. Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

The Company further understands and acknowledges that (i) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Securities are being determined, and (ii) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

2.21. Regulation M Compliance.

2.23. Office of Foreign Assets Control. None of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).

2.26. Promotional Stock Activities.

No representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, as qualified by the Schedules attached hereto, and no certificate furnished or to be furnished to Purchasers at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. All disclosures furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.1. Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, or (b) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Certificate may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

3.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

3.3. Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed in this Agreement. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale except as set forth in the Investors’ Rights Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s Control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

3.4. No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Securities, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.

3.5. Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Conversion Shares issued in respect of or exchange for the Notes, may bear one or all of the following legends (or a substantially similar legend):

NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

(b) Any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Documents and the Certificate.

(c) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.

3.9. Residence. The office of the Purchaser in which its principal place of business is located is set forth on Schedule I.

3.10. Exculpation Among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser or the respective Controlling Persons, officers, directors, managers, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities. Each Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Controlling Persons, officers, directors, managers, partners, agents, or employees, hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees not to directly or indirectly assert any claims, actions or causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity and agrees not to commence, institute or cause to be commenced or instituted, any proceeding of any kind against any other Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Controlling Persons, officers, directors, managers, partners, agents, or employees, in connection with the purchase of the Securities hereunder.

4. Other Agreements of the Parties.

4.1. Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are, except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

4.2. Furnishing of Information. The Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that the Company files reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities to the Purchasers in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.

In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company and the Lead Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Lead Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, provided, however, that in each such case the, Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

4.5. Shareholder Rights Plan. The Company will not make or enforce any claim or, provide its consent to, any claim by any other Person, that any Purchaser or group of Purchasers is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect, or that any Purchaser or group of Purchasers could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

4.6. Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to engage separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the engagement of such separate counsel thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume, pursue and maintain such defense and to engage counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for such Purchaser Party. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.8. Reservation and Listing of Securities.

Each Purchaser consents to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.1. The Lead Purchaser may resign as Agent at any time by written notice to the Company and the other Purchasers.

The term “Purchaser” includes the Agent in its own capacity.

7.8. No Action by Other Purchasers. No Purchaser other than the Agent shall pursue any remedies in respect of an “Event of Default” under the Notes, an “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement or any other default under any of the Transaction Documents, it being the intent of the Purchasers that any an action to enforce rights of the Purchasers under any of the Transaction Documents be brought by the Agent as the representative of all Purchasers in a single action.

8.9. No Finder’s Fees. Each party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction.

8.10. Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, provided that the Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket legal, due diligence and administrative fees and expenses of counsel to the Lead Purchaser, with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of whether such transactions are consummated.

8.13. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8.14. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to all rights or remedies that the Purchasers or the Company otherwise may have in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to preclude or be in lieu of any right or remedy that the Purchaser or the Company may have in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise against, in the case of the Purchaser, the Company, or any other person based upon any fraud, and, in the case of the Company, the Purchaser or any other person based on fraud.

8.15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and any other written or oral agreements relating to the subject matter of this Agreement existing between the parties.
