(a) The Holder (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and (ii) has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Holder, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Company, this Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the purchase of the Purchase Commitment Shares and the compliance by the Holder with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Holder pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Holder is a party or by which the Holder is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Holder is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Holder; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Holder or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Holder Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Holder Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Holder that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase of the Purchase Commitment Shares.

(f) The Holder acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including the Company, New USARE, or USARE, any of their respective affiliates or any of its or their respective control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives), other than the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any other investor in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

Newtyn Partners, LP and Newtyn TE Partners, LP and their respective affiliates (collectively "Newtyn") are pleased to present the following proposal. The Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions (“Term Sheet”) is for discussion purposes only and is not intended to be, and does not constitute, an offer, commitment or agreement of any kind on the part of Newtyn to provide the financing described herein (the “Financing”) and should not be relied upon as such. Any offer, commitment, obligation or agreement of Newtyn will only arise upon Newtyn receiving its internal committee approval, which has not yet been received, and the entering into of definitive documents signed by an authorized signatory of Newtyn and not from statements (oral or written) made during the course of discussions among the parties (whether or not prior to or after the date hereof). This Term Sheet is intended as an outline of certain of the material terms of the proposed Financing based on discussions with you to date but does not include all of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations, warranties, default clauses, and other provisions that would be contained in any definitive documents for such Financing. Newtyn reserves the right to terminate discussions or negotiations at any time without cause. No rights or other legal grounds shall arise from such termination, except that the sections with respect to Expenses and Governing Law shall be binding. In the event of any conflict between this paragraph and any other provision of this Term Sheet, this paragraph shall control.
