Annex - 2

5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

 

The Company acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the
Investors that:

 

5.1 The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Oregon and has full corporate power and
authority to own and use its properties and its assets and conduct its business
as currently conducted. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions
of its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended
from time to time (the “Restated Articles”), or its Amended and Restated By-laws
(the “Bylaws”) or other organizational or charter documents. The Company is duly
qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be
so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not result in a
direct and/or indirect (i) material adverse effect on the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Shares and/or this Agreement, (ii) material adverse
effect on the results of operations, assets, business or condition (financial
and other) of the Company, or (iii) material adverse effect on the Company’s
ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations
under this Agreement (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

5.2 The Company has prepared and filed in conformity with the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and published
rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the SEC, a “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227683), which became effective
on October 17, 2018, including a base prospectus relating to the securities
registered pursuant to such registration statement, and such amendments and
supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement,
including but not limited to, the preliminary prospectus supplement dated
November 16, 2018.

 

5.3 All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of such outstanding capital
stock has been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws. The issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby will not
obligate the Company to issue shares of common stock or other securities to any
other person (other than the Investors) and will not result in the adjustment of
the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

5.4 The Company has all corporate right, power and authority to enter into,

delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting
parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any
rights to indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public
policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state
securities law, rule or regulation). The Shares are duly authorized and, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable transaction documents,
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of
all encumbrances.

 

5.5 The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the issuance
and sale of the Shares do not and will not (i) result in the violation of any
law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of
any court or governmental authority to or by which the Company is bound
including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws
applicable to its business and all such laws that affect the environment, except
in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, (ii) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s
Restated Articles or the Company’s Bylaws, and (iii) conflict with, or result in
a material breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default or
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation (with or without due notice, lapse of time or both) under any
agreement, credit facility, lease, loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement,
trust indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a
party, nor result in the creation or imposition of any encumbrances upon any of
the properties or assets of the Company, except in each case as could not have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
