(“Napo”) and excluding cash otherwise legally or contractually obligated for special projects, expenses or activities by the Company or Napo; and for additional clarity, excluding any cash received by the Company or Napo from lenders or from the sale of the Company’s equity related instruments), the Company shall cause the Letter of Credit to be released and replaced by a new letter of credit not provided or guaranteed by LC Facilitator. Likewise, if the Company has not received on a consolidated basis with Napo at least $5,000,000 of gross proceeds in the aggregate from any source in the form or debt or equity or debt or equity like instruments or any combination thereof) since the Closing and on, or before, October 1, 2018, then within ten (10) business days thereafter the Company shall cause LC Facilitator’s exposure under the Letter of Credit to be reduced by One Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Dollars ($122,000) whether pursuant to a release of LC Facilitator of such amount under the Letter of Credit, replacement or modification of the Letter of Credit in whole or in part, partial replacement or additional collateral in favor of LC Facilitator or otherwise.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to LC Facilitator as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing as follows, subject to any exceptions as are disclosed prior to the Closing in the Company’s reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”), which SEC Reports as filed prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or warranty otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosures contained in the SEC Reports as filed prior to the Effective Date:

The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Agreement and issue the Warrant, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.
b. Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the Warrant, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder at the Closing, and the sale, issuance and delivery of the Warrant pursuant hereto has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing.

The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

Neither the Company nor any of its directors is engaged in any litigation, administrative, mediation or arbitration proceedings or other proceedings or hearings before any statutory or governmental body, department, board or agency and is not the subject of any investigation, inquiry or enforcement proceedings by any governmental, administrative or regulatory body. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, no such proceedings, investigation or inquiry are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no circumstances likely to give rise to any such proceedings.
