PIPE Financing Parent has executed Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors for them to purchase the PIPE Shares for an aggregate investment equal to the PIPE Financing Amount. Each of the PIPE Investors has represented that it is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) or a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act). True and complete executed copies of each Subscription Agreement has been delivered to the Company on or prior to the date hereof. Each of the Subscription Agreements (a) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Parent, (b) are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, terminated or otherwise amended or modified (and no such withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent) and (c) constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent, and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, in accordance with their terms. There are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement or the purchase by such PIPE Investor of securities of Parent, that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to acquire their portion of the PIPE Shares as set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement, and, as of the date hereof, Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreements not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to acquire the PIPE Shares on the terms set forth therein. No fees, consideration (other than PIPE Shares) or other discounts are payable or have been agreed by Parent to any PIPE Investor in respect of its PIPE Shares to be acquired under its Subscription Agreement.

Buyer shall be responsible for any costs, fees or expenses arising out of the Buyer Financing. Buyer may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date due to the actual or anticipated failure to close the Buyer Financing by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which case this Agreement will terminate and the parties will have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations that are expressly intended to survive termination of this Agreement).
