4.1.Authorization.  Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing in the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to purchase and hold the Securities issuable hereunder. The decision to invest and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser, the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized and requires no other proceedings on the part of Purchaser. Purchaser has the right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all related instruments. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming the execution and delivery hereof and acceptance thereof by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ 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). 

4.2.Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  HCM is an SEC registered investment adviser authorized to serve as a fiduciary and act on behalf of each of its advisory clients pursuant to an advisory agreement. Accordingly, HCM may acquire the Securities on behalf of one or more designated advisory clients (the “Designees”) and may allocate the Securities to the Designees as determined in HCM’s sole discretion. Further, the Securities to be received by Purchaser hereunder will be acquired for Purchaser’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by Purchaser to hold the Securities for any period of time.  Purchaser is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered. 

4.3.Investment Experience.

4.4.Disclosure and Review of Information.  Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities.  Purchaser acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Filings via the EDGAR system maintained by the SEC (www.sec.gov).  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement; provided, Purchaser shall not rely on representations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement.  Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that Purchaser has carefully reviewed the SEC Filings, including the specific Risk Factors set forth therein, a reasonable period of time prior to making the investment contemplated by this Agreement. 

4.5.Restricted Securities.  Except as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement, none of the Securities to be purchased hereunder will be registered and shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws. Under such laws such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  Each certificate evidencing Shares or shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants to be issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

 

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW AND, IF THE COMPANY REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.

 

 

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, as “restricted securities,” the Securities to be purchased by it may not be transferred, hypothecated, sold or otherwise disposed of until (i) a registration statement with respect to such securities is declared effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company receives an opinion of counsel for the holder(s) of such Securities, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.  

 

4.6.Accredited and Sophisticated Investor.  Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.   

4.7.No General Advertisement.  Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any public advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or internet or presented at any seminar or other general advertisement.  Rather, Purchaser learned of the investment in the Securities through its prior contact with the Company, its agents and/or its affiliates.   


7




4.8.No Disqualification Events.  Neither Purchaser nor, to the extent it has them, any of Purchaser’s stockholders, members, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with Purchaser, the “Purchaser Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). Purchaser has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Purchaser Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The purchase of the Securities by Purchaser will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event. 

4.9.Prohibited Transactions.  During the last thirty (30) days prior to the date hereof, neither Purchaser nor any affiliate of Purchaser which (x) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) has or shares discretion relating to Purchaser’s investments or trading or information concerning Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the Securities, or (z) is subject to Purchaser’s review or input concerning such affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) has, directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Securities, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the Securities or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Securities (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”).  Prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the date that the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared effective by the SEC or (ii) the date on which the Registration Statement is required to be declared effective by the SEC under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Prohibited Transaction. 

4.10.Residence.  The office or offices of HCM in which its principal place of business is located is identified in the address or addresses of HCM set forth on the signature page hereof. 

5.Right of Participation.  The Company agrees that, during the Commitment Period, the Company will not participate in any offer or sale of equity or equity-linked  securities made for the purpose of raising capital for the Company (a “Subsequent Financing”) without offering to Purchaser the opportunity to purchase up to $2,500,000 of the same securities offered (but not included) in such Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions, and net price provided to the participants in the Subsequent Financing. The Commitment Amount shall be reduced by the amount of proceeds received by the Company in each Subsequent Financing.

Furthermore, the Company shall only be liable to Purchaser due to a direct result of the Company’s breach of its obligations contained in this Agreement should Purchaser make a claim against it for diminution in stock as a loss for which indemnification is sought.  

(b)By Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of Purchaser under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse the Company for all such amounts as they are incurred by the Company.

SCHEDULE 3.8

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In January 2020, this coronavirus spread to other countries, including the United States, and efforts to contain the spread of this coronavirus intensified. The outbreak and any preventative or protective actions that governments or we may take in respect of this coronavirus may result in a period of business disruption, reduced customer traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the coronavirus outbreak has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and the Company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that this coronavirus or any other epidemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Further the uncertain nature of its spread globally may impact the Company’s business operations resulting from quarantines of employees, customers, and third-party service providers. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.  

 

The market price for the Company’s common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile.  Due in part to the outbreak of Covid-19, the Company’s common stock, and the stock market as a whole, has recently experienced substantial volatility.
