a. The Borrower has been duly incorporated and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted. The Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign
entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse
Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Borrower.

 
b. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly
authorized, validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of
equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and the Borrower has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations hereunder
and thereunder. 
 
c. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the Loan Documents will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under any of the terms or provisions of, (A) the Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or (B) any material
provision of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to 
 

2 








which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets is bound, (ii)
result in a violation of any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, or any existing applicable decree, judgment or order by any court, Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Borrower, or any of its material properties or assets or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material property or assets of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries
pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them may be bound or to which any of their property or any of them is subject. 
 
d. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental
authority on the part of the Borrower is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Loan Documents. 
 
All representations and warranties made by Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement shall survive the making of the Loans and issuance and
delivery of the Note to Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lenders or on Lenders’ behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or financial statement delivered by Borrower to Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall constitute representations and warranties made by Borrower hereunder. 
 
6. Events of Default; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of the following (each, an “Event of Default”): 
 
a. the Borrower shall fail to make the payment of any amount of any principal outstanding after the date such

shall hereinafter be created, and such default entitles the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable, and such indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been stayed, rescinded or annulled
within twelve (12) business days of such acceleration, or (ii) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any Indebtedness in excess of $100,000 or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing,
securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Indebtedness to cause
