immaterial sum of money.

Company enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (b) the availability of equitable remedies

ARTICLE IV. 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR 
 In order to induce the Company to issue the Securities to Investor, Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows. 

Section 4.1 Organization and Power. Investor (a) is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws of the State of Texas, and (b) has all limited liability company power and authority necessary to carry on its business as now conducted. 

  
 13 








 Section 4.2 Limited Liability Company and Governmental Authorization. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by Investor are within its limited liability company powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, require no action by or in
respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority (other than filings with any applicable securities regulatory authorities to perfect exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of applicable securities Laws), and, except
for matters which have been waived in writing by the appropriate Person, do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable Law or of the Charter Documents or of any material judgment, injunction, order, decree or material
agreement binding upon Investor or its assets, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Investor. 

Section 4.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Investor enforceable in accordance with
its terms except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles
of general applicability. Each other Transaction Document when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of Investor, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms except as
(i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting creditors rights generally, and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.
Investor has been funded in an amount sufficient to fulfill its purchase obligation under Section 2.1. 
 Section
4.4 Brokers and Finders. No Person engaged by Investor has or will have any right or valid claim against the Company for any commission, fee or other compensation. Investor will indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability or
expense arising out of, or in connection with, any such right or claim asserted by an Person. 
 Section 4.5 Litigation.
Neither Investor nor any Affiliate of Investor has been permanently or temporarily enjoined by any order, judgment or decree of any court or any other Governmental Authority from engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with
any business, assets or properties or serving in any capacity with a public company, nor, to the Knowledge of Investor, is Investor or any officer, director, employee or Affiliate of Investor under investigation by any Governmental Authority.

 Section 4.6 Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transfer. Investor represents that it is acquiring the Securities for
its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Investor is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act. Investor
understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, and that accordingly, they will not be fully transferable except as permitted under various exemptions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, or upon satisfaction of the 

  
 14 








 
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws. Investor acknowledges that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the
Securities for an indefinite period of time (subject, however, to the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) since they have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws and
therefore cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from registration is available. Absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws covering the disposition of the
Securities, Investor will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Securities, except to an Affiliate, absent a valid exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of any applicable state securities Laws. The Company agrees that it will effect the transfer of the Securities on its books and records upon receipt of an opinion of experienced
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that Investor’s proposed sale or transfer of the Securities is exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws. It
is agreed that a legend setting forth these restrictions will be included on each of the certificates evidencing the Securities. 
 Section 4.7 Full Disclosure. No information contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and no written information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of Investor to the Company
for purposes of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby contains, or at the time of Closing, will contain, to the Knowledge of Investor, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

other Transaction Documents, all as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. 

  
 16 








 Section 5.6 Maintenance of Books and Records. At all times prior to Closing, the
Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, in a manner and to the extent consistent with past practice, maintain proper books of record and account in which true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP shall be made on a timely
basis of all dealings and transactions in relation to the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses and activities. 
 Section 5.7 Conduct of the Business of the Company Pending Closing. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or to the extent that Investor shall otherwise specifically consent in writing, during
the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing, the Company will conduct its operations only in, and the Company will not take any action except, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and the Company will use
all reasonable efforts to preserve intact its and all of its Subsidiaries’ business organizations, assets, prospects and advantageous business relationships, to keep available the services of its officers and key employees and to maintain
