as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific

assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or
without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary

the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably

Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company has timely filed all quarterly and annual reports required to be filed by it with
the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of
the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents
(other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC
Documents”) for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation
to file such material). The Company has delivered to Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such exhibits
and incorporated documents, and except as such Documents are available EDGAR filings on the SEC’s sec.gov website. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations
of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the
SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary

avoidance of doubt, filing of the documents required in this Section 3(e) via the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and

for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary
is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities

holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance
with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar
