REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF FERRER 

Ferrer hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company on and as of the date hereof: 

4.1 Authorization. Ferrer represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) Ferrer has all requisite legal and corporate or other
power and capacity and has taken all requisite corporate or other action to execute and deliver this Agreement, to acquire the Stock, issue the Loan and to carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Note; and
(b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Ferrer, 

  
 3 








 
enforceable against Ferrer in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally. 
 4.2 Investment Experience. Ferrer
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Ferrer is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the
Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Stock. Ferrer has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Stock. 

4.3 Investment Intent. Ferrer is acquiring the Stock for its own account as principal and not with a present view to, or for, resale,
distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, within the meaning of the Securities Act. Ferrer understands that its acquisition of the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any
state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Ferrer’s investment intent as expressed herein. Ferrer, in connection with its decision to acquire
the Stock, has relied solely upon the SEC Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. Ferrer will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy,
purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Stock except in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 

4.4 Registration or Exemption Requirements. Ferrer further acknowledges and understands that the Stock may not be resold or otherwise
transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. 

4.5 Dispositions. 

(a) Ferrer will not, if then prohibited by law or regulation: (i) sell, offer to sell, solicit offers to buy, dispose of, loan,
pledge or grant any right with respect to (collectively, a “Disposition”) the Stock; or (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined herein) involving the
Company’s securities) which is designed or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Disposition of all or any portion of the Stock by Ferrer or an affiliate. In addition, Ferrer agrees that for so long as it owns any portion of
the Stock, it will not enter into any Short Sale of the Common Stock executed at a time when Ferrer has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock. For purposes of determining whether Ferrer has an equivalent offsetting long position
in the Common Stock, shares of Common Stock that Ferrer is entitled to receive within 60 days (whether pursuant to contract or upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities) will be included as if held long by Ferrer.

(b) Ferrer has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Ferrer, engaged
in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that Ferrer was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding the
transactions contemplated hereby. Ferrer covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any
Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. 
 For
purposes of this Section 4.5, (i) “Person” shall include, without limitation, any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company
or joint stock company and (ii) “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of
direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated
brokers. 
 4.6 No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Ferrer understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials
presented to Ferrer in connection with its acquisition of the Stock or the Note constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Ferrer has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or
appropriate in connection with its acquisition of the Stock and the Note. 
 4.7 Confidentiality. Ferrer will hold in confidence all
information concerning this Agreement, the Note and 

  
 4 








 
the placement of the Stock hereunder until the earlier of such time as (a) the Company has made a public announcement concerning the Agreement, the Note and the placement of the Stock
hereunder or (b) this Agreement and the Note are terminated, except that the obligation of confidentiality shall not extend to information that (i) is or was already in Ferrer’s possession prior to its being furnished to Ferrer by or
on behalf of the Company; (ii) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Ferrer; (iii) has become available to Ferrer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its
representatives, and (iv) is requested or required by Ferrer’s advisory clients in connection with the consummation of this Agreement, which clients are subject to confidentiality agreements as least as restrictive as those contained in
this Agreement. 
 4.8 Residency. Ferrer’s executive offices in which its investment decision was made are in the jurisdiction
indicated below Ferrer’s name Section 9.6 hereof. 
 4.9 Bad Actor” Matters. Ferrer hereby represents that none of the
“Bad Actor” disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to such Investor or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties (as
defined below), except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. Ferrer hereby agrees that it shall notify the Company promptly in writing in the event a Disqualification Event
becomes applicable to such Investor or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. For purposes of this Section 4.9,
“Rule 506(d) Related Party” shall mean a person or entity that is a beneficial owner of such Ferrer’s securities for purposes of Rule 506(d) of the Act 

4.10 Governmental Review. Ferrer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Stock.
 4.11 Legend. 

(a) Ferrer understands that, until such time as the Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
(“Rule 144”) without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Stock may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop
transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Stock): 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO REGULATION S OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE
IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, NO HEDGING TRANSACTION MAY BE CONDUCTED WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.” 

(b) The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.11, it will, no later than
three business days following the delivery by Ferrer to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Stock issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to Ferrer a certificate representing
such shares that is free from any legend referring to the Securities Act. The Company shall not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Section. Certificates for Stock subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to Ferrer by crediting the account of Ferrer’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company. 

(c) Ferrer agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Stock as set


  
 5 








 
forth in this Section 4.11 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that Ferrer will sell any Stock pursuant to either (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
Ferrer shall have delivered a current prospectus in connection with such sale (if required under the Securities Act) or Ferrer shall have confirmed that a current prospectus is deemed to be delivered in connection with such sale in accordance with
Rule 172 under the Securities Act (“Rule 172”), (ii) in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S or (iii) pursuant to an available exemption from registration. 

(d) The restrictive legend set forth in Section 4.11(a) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without
such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery with the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company or in physical
certificated shares, if appropriate, if (i) the Stock is registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if Ferrer is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Stock for resale, Ferrer agrees to
only sell the Stock during such time that such registration statement is effective and Ferrer is not aware or has not been notified by the Company that such registration statement has been withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such
registration statement); or (ii) the Stock is sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company); or (iii) the Stock is eligible for sale without the requirement for the Company to be in
compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. 

4.12 Foreign Investors. If Ferrer is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended), Ferrer hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Stock or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the
legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Stock, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (c) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the
income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Stock. Ferrer’s acquisition and continued beneficial ownership of the Stock will not violate any applicable
securities or other laws of Ferrer’s jurisdiction.
 4.13 Non-U.S. Purchaser. The Stock is being acquired for investment for
Ferrer’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 9.11), and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in the United States (as defined in
Section 9.12) or to a U.S. Person, and that Ferrer has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such Stock. 

4.14 No Arrangements. Ferrer does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or
grant participations to such person or to any third person in the United States or to a U.S. Person, or any hedging transaction with any third person in the United States or to a United States resident, with respect to any of the Stock. 

4.15 Regulation S Reliance. Ferrer understands that the Stock is not registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale
provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on Ferrer’s
representations set forth herein.
