 SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

laws of Delaware, has full corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character

“Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries
(the “Subsidiaries”), if any, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the Exchange Documents (as defined below) or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into (or entered into) in
connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 b)
Authorization; Corporate Power. This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms
(except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) equitable principles generally, including any
specific performance), and the Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. 

c) Valid Issuance and Delivery of New Securities. The issuance of the Exchange Note is duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Note (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”, and together with the Exchange Note, the
“New Securities”) shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, mortgages, defects, claims, liens, pledges, charges, taxes, rights of
first refusal, encumbrances, security interests and other encumbrances (collectively “Liens”) with respect to the issuance thereof. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than
150% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Notes (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Exchange Notes are convertible at the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) assuming a date
of conversion as of the date hereof, (y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the Maturity Date (as defined in the Exchange Note) and will be converted in shares of Common Stock (as defined below) at a conversion price equal to the
Alternate Conversion Price assuming a date of conversion as of the date hereof and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Exchange Notes set forth in the Exchange Notes). Upon issuance or
conversion in accordance with the Exchange Notes the Conversion Shares when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights or Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders
being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. The offer and issuance by the Company of the New Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Each of the New Securities will be freely tradable and shall not be

body; or body exercising, or entitled to exercise, any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, police, regulatory, or taxing authority or power of any nature or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, including any entity or enterprise
owned or controlled by a government or a public international organization or any of the foregoing. 
 e) No Default or Violation.

on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the New Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any
placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for persons engaged by the Holder or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay,
and hold the Holder harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the Exchange and the issuance of the New Securities. The offer, exchange and issuance, as applicable, of the New Securities as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and the qualification or registration requirements of state securities laws or other applicable blue sky laws. Neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action
hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemptions. 







 g) Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in the reports, schedules, forms, statements
