representations and warranties as of the Closing Date, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares: 
  

3.1 Corporate Status. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (b)
has duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified and where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is currently in violation of any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation (or other charter document) or By-laws, each as amended to date. 
  
 3.2 Corporate Power and Authority. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and
shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein has been taken. When executed and delivered by
the Company, this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to
carry out and perform its obligations under the terms hereof and thereof. 
  
 3.3 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof (a) will
contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will conflict or be inconsistent with or
result in any breach of, any of the material terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets
of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its or their property or assets are
bound or to which it may be subject or result in the acceleration of any material obligation of the Company, or (c) will violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company, each as amended to date. 
  
 3.4 Capitalization. Exhibit 3.4 sets forth the number of authorized,
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, and outstanding warrants and options to purchase capital stock of the Company (a) as of the date hereof, (b) as of the date hereof pro forma to give effect to the Teligent Acquisition
and (c) as of the date hereof pro forma to give effect to the sale of the Shares and Warrants hereunder. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 21,288,016 shares
are issued and outstanding. As of the date hereof, 6,547,305 shares of Common Stock were reserved for future issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants issued by the Company. As of the date hereof, except as set forth above, as set forth
in Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedules, and for the exercise rights of the Warrants, there are no other 
  

 -5- 








 outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights) or any agreement for the purchase or
acquisition from the Company or any Subsidiary of any shares of the Company’s capital stock or voting agreements with respect to equity of the Company. All shares of the capital stock of the Company subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon
issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company or any
Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution, guaranty or otherwise) in any
other entity. The sale of the Shares and the issuance of the Warrants under this Agreement, and the issuance of any Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in their current form, will not result in the Company being obligated to issue, sell or
purchase, pursuant to any existing pre-emptive, anti-dilution, redemption or other right of third parties, shares of Common Stock or other securities to or from any Person (other than the Purchasers), and will not result in a right of any holder of
convertible or contingent securities issued by the Company to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities, including, in any such case, pursuant to any “poison pill” or shareholders rights plan. None of
the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company were issued in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities laws. 
  
 3.5 Valid Issuance of the Shares. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized, and the Shares and the Warrant Shares,

of the stockholders of the Company or any other Person, and (c) the applicable Purchaser (with respect to the Shares) and the applicable Holder (as defined in the Warrant) will obtain sole record and beneficial ownership of such Shares and Warrant
Shares (as applicable) and take good marketable title thereto, free and clear of any Liens (defined for purposes hereof without regard to the carve-outs set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Lien), claims, charges, taxes, options
or transfer restrictions of any kind which are imposed by the Company, or arise as a result of the Company’s action or omission, other than those transfer restrictions explicitly set forth in this Agreement and in the Warrants. The Company has
reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon execution of this Agreement and upon exercise in full of the Warrants (assuming the Warrants vest in full).

Schedules, no actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate (a) a Material Adverse Effect or (b) an
adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the Purchasers or on the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a
party to or named in or subject to any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or Governmental Authority. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation by the Company or any Subsidiary currently pending or that the
Company or any Subsidiary currently intends to initiate.

 -6- 








 the transactions contemplated herein and therein, and the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants and, upon exercise of
the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, do not require the consent or approval of the stockholders of the Company or any other Person. 
  
 3.8 Contracts. All material agreements to which the Company is a party or to which the property or assets of the Company are subject are included
as part of or specifically identified in the SEC Reports to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC as in effect at the time of filing of such SEC Reports. All such material agreements required to be filed as exhibits to the SEC
Reports are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their respective terms and, to the knowledge of the Company, the other parties thereto, except in any case as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. The Company and its Subsidiaries are not, nor to their knowledge is any counterparty, in violation of or default under, any material agreement.

 (a) Authorizations. The Company holds all Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), state public utility commission (“PUC”) and foreign regulatory authority permits, licenses, certificates,
registrations and other similar authorizations necessary or appropriate for the conduct of its business (collectively, the “Authorizations”), the lack of which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have

 -9- 








 expected to allow, or which after notice or lapse of time would allow or would reasonably be expected to allow,
revocation, suspension, non-renewal or termination or result in any other material impairment of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ rights under any of its Authorizations to the extent that such revocation, termination or impairment would

Law. Except as disclosed in Section 3.19(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, the conduct of the Company’s business complies with all applicable U.S., state, local and foreign laws (including, without limitation, the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act), ordinances, rules, regulations, and orders (including, without limitation, those issued by the FCC, any PUC or any foreign regulatory authority), except where the failure to so

 3.20 Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority (the “Permits”) necessary for the conduct of their business as now being
conducted by them, the lack of which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, no suspension or cancellation of any of the Permits is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its business
as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company and its Subsidiaries are not in default under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar authorities. 
  
 3.21 ERISA. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to
any Plan other than those listed in Section 3.21 of the Disclosure Schedules. 
  
 (a) Compliance with ERISA. The Company and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with ERISA, except for such failures to comply that, in the aggregate for all such failures, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect and no contributions required to be made by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to any pension plan are overdue. 
  
 (b) PBGC. No liability to the PBGC has been or is expected to be incurred by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any pension plan
that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No circumstance exists that constitutes grounds under section 4042 of ERISA entitling the PBGC to institute proceedings to terminate, or appoint
a trustee to administer, any pension plan or trust created thereunder, nor has the PBGC instituted any such proceeding. 
  
 (c) Multiemployer Plans. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under
Title IV of ERISA with respect to any multiemployer plan except for such withdrawal liability that, in the aggregate of all such liabilities, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There have been no “reportable
events” (as such term is defined in section 4043 of ERISA) with respect to any multiemployer plan that could result in the termination of such multiemployer plan and give rise to a liability of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate in respect
thereof except for such “reportable events” that, in the aggregate for all such “reportable events,” would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has incurred or does
it expect to incur liability under Sections 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “pension plan” for which the
Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could
reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification.

capital improvements or other expenditures are required or necessary to be made in order to continue such insurance or (ii) any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or

contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 3.26 Leases.
Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has complied with all material obligations under all leases for real property to which it is a party as a lessee. All leases relating to the leasehold estates of each of the Company and the Subsidiaries
necessary for the conduct of the business of such Person are, with respect to the Company, valid and enforceable, and, to the knowledge of the Company, are, valid and enforceable with respect to the lessor, and each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries that is the lessee in respect thereof currently enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession of the premises subject thereto.  
  
 3.27 Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Section 3.27 of the Disclosure Schedules, each of the Company and the Subsidiaries owns,
possesses or has the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, franchises and licenses, and rights with respect thereto (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), necessary for the present
conduct of its business and as such business is proposed to be conducted, without any infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the Company’s and/or its
Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property with the exception of agreements for the sale or license of the Company’s products or services in the ordinary course of business. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the

identified in any manner by any Governmental Authority as a hazardous substance disposal or removal site, “Super Fund” clean-up site, or candidate for removal or closure pursuant to any Environmental Protection Law, 
  
 (ii) notice of any Lien arising under or in connection with any
Environmental Protection Law that has attached to any revenues of, or to, any of its currently or previously owned or leased properties, or 
  
 (iii) communication, written or oral, from any Governmental Authority concerning any action or omission in connection with its currently or previously
owned or leased properties resulting in the release of any hazardous substance resulting in any violation of any Environmental Protection Law,

on Section 3.29 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company is not currently subject to any agreement providing any Person any rights (including piggyback registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the SEC or registered

 -12-

Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any of its officers, affiliates or directors, or any of their affiliates, on the other hand. 
  
 3.31 Internal Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the

Rule l5d-14 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its

internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses; the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have made all certifications required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, and the statements contained in any such certification are complete and correct; and the Company and its
Subsidiaries are otherwise in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are effective. 
  
 3.32 Securities Laws. Subject to the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 below and an Investor
Questionnaire executed and delivered by each Purchaser to the Company, such Investor Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares and the Warrants, and issuance of Warrant Shares,
as provided in this Agreement and the Warrants, is and is intended to be (a) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to one or more of Sections 3(b) and 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and (b)
exempt from registration or qualification requirements of applicable state securities laws (together, the “Securities Laws Exemptions”). Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken any action that would cause the

 3.33 No Integrated Offering.
Neither the Company, nor any Affiliate of the Company, 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 the offering or issuance of the Shares, the Warrants or any Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would cause the
exemptions from SEC registration upon which the Company is relying for the offering or issuance of the Shares, the Warrants or any Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be unavailable, or would cause any applicable state securities laws
exemptions or any applicable stockholder approval provisions exemptions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the 
  

 -13- 








 securities of the Company are listed or designated to be unavailable, nor will the Company take any action or steps that
would cause the offering or issuance of the Shares, the Warrants or any Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to be integrated with other offerings. 
  
 3.34 Section 203 of the DGCL. Each Purchaser is not an “interested stockholder” (as defined in Section 203

restrictions on “business combinations” (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the issuance to
each Purchaser of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the restrictions on “business combinations” set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL will not apply to any exercise of the Warrants by a Purchaser.

 3.36 Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the
Company and the Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known and contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including its
capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the
proceeds the Company would receive were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debts when such amounts are required to be paid.
The Company has no present intention to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). 
  
 3.37 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Warrants, the Offering Memorandum, nor any other statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, when taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. 
  
 4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser represents and warrants, severally (as to such Purchaser only) and not jointly,
to the Company as follows: 
  
 4.1 Authorization. All
corporate, partnership or limited liability company action on the part of such Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein and therein, has been taken. When executed and delivered by such Purchaser, each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser,
enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. Such Purchaser has
all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to enter into each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms hereof and thereof.

501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring any of the Shares or the Warrants. Such Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares
for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. Such Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its
investment in the Company.

Registered. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares, the Warrants and any Warrant Shares issued thereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that the Shares, the Warrants and any Warrant Shares issued thereunder must continue to be held by such Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or
is exempt from such registration. Such Purchaser understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various conditions,
and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts. 
  
 4.5 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof by such Purchaser
(a) will contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, except as would not have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser’s ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; or (b) will violate any provision of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, except as would not have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

not retained, utilized or been represented by any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

acknowledges that it has reviewed the Offering Memorandum and that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the Warrants and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

The Company may, and may instruct any transfer agent for the Company, to place such stop transfer orders as may be required on the transfer books of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.1. 
  
 6.2 Legends. 
  
 (a) To the extent applicable, each certificate or other document evidencing
the Shares, the Warrants and any Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with the legend set forth below, and each Purchaser covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, it shall not transfer the shares represented by
any such certificate without complying with the restrictions on transfer described in this Agreement and the legends endorsed on such certificate: 
  
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN
THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT.” 
  
 (b) The legend set forth in Section 6.2(a) shall be removed from the certificates evidencing the Shares, Warrants and any
Warrant Shares, (i) following any sale of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or any effective registration statement, or (ii) if such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) (and the
holder of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares has submitted a written request for removal of the legend indicating that the holder has complied with the applicable provisions of Rule 144), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable

 -18- 








 certificates evidencing the Shares or any Warrant Shares and shall also cause its counsel to issue a “blanket”
legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date of any registration statement covering the resale of the Shares or any Warrant Shares (provided that there is an effective registration statement covering the
resale of the Shares or any Warrant Shares, as the case may be), if required by the Company’s transfer agent, to allow sales without restriction pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company agrees that at such time as such
legend is no longer required under this Section 6.2(b), it will, no later than three (3) business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Shares, Warrants or
any Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends; provided that in
the case of removal of the legend for reasons set forth in clause (ii) above, the holder of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares has submitted a written request for removal of the legend indicating that the holder has complied with the applicable
provisions of Rule 144. The Company may 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 6. 
  
 6.3 Publicity. Except to the extent required by applicable laws,
rules, regulations or stock exchange requirements, the Company, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates shall not, without the written consent of the Majority Purchasers, make any public announcement or issue any press release with respect to the

announcement or issue any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In no event will either (i) the Company, the Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates make any
public announcement or issue any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without consulting with the Company, on the one hand, and the Majority Purchasers, on the other hand, to the extent feasible, as to the
content of such public announcement or press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Company shall issue a press release in the form of Exhibit G hereto promptly following (and in no event more than 24 hours
