The Series 2022A Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1 hereto with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by the Additional Purchaser(s) and the Company.
2. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each Additional Purchaser, and each Additional Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, Series 2022A Notes in the principal amount set forth opposite such Additional Purchaser’s name on Schedule A hereto at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on the closing date hereinafter mentioned.

4. The obligation of each Additional Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Series 2022A Notes to be sold to such Additional Purchaser at the Series 2022A Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Additional Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to the Series 2022A Closing, of the conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Note Purchase Agreement with respect to the Series 2022A Notes to be purchased at the Series 2022A Closing as if each reference to the “Notes,” “Closing” and “Purchaser” set forth therein was modified to refer the “Series 2022A Notes,” the “Series 2022A Closing” and the “Additional Purchaser” (each as defined in this Supplement) and to the following additional conditions:

Each Additional Purchaser represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof with respect to the purchase of the Series 2022A Notes by such Additional Purchaser as if (x) each reference to the “Notes,” “Closing” and “Purchaser” set forth therein was modified to refer the “Series 2022A Notes,” the “Series 2022A Closing” and the “Additional Purchaser” and each reference to “this Agreement” therein was modified to refer to the Note Purchase Agreement as supplemented by this Supplement, (y) the reference to “(ii) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, (iii) the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2019” set forth in Section 6.3 was modified to refer to “(ii) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, (iii) the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2021” and (z) the following clause were added before the period at the end of Section 6.5 “, except to the extent arising from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, any of its Affiliates or any other of the foregoing Persons.”

The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Supplement.

Supplemental Representations
The Company represents and warrants to each Additional Purchaser that except as hereinafter set forth in this Exhibit A, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement (other than representations and warranties that apply solely to a specific earlier date (other than the date of an earlier Closing) which shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and other than the Section references hereinafter set forth) is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof with respect to the Series 2022A Notes with the same force and effect as if each reference to “Notes,” “Closing” and “Purchaser” set forth therein was modified to refer to “Series 2022A Notes,” “Series 2022A Closing” and “Additional Purchaser” and each reference to “this Agreement” therein was modified to refer to the Note Purchase Agreement as supplemented by the Supplement. The Section references hereinafter set forth correspond to the similar Sections of the Note Purchase Agreement which are supplemented hereby:
Section 5.3. Disclosure. (a) The Company, through its agent, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, has delivered to each Additional Purchaser a copy of an Investor Presentation dated January 2022 (the “Presentation”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with the Series 2022A Notes. The Presentation, when read together with the information incorporated therein by reference to the Company’s Exchange Act filings, fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Presentation (including the information incorporated therein by reference to the Company’s Exchange Act filings), the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Additional Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company (other than financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information referenced in Section 5.3(b), information relating to third parties and general economic information) prior to February 16, 2022 in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3 (this Agreement, the Presentation (including the information incorporated therein by reference to the Company’s Exchange Act filings) and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Additional Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since September 30, 2021, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.
(b) All financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information which has been delivered to each Additional Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are based upon good faith assumptions and, in the case of financial projections and pro forma financial information, good faith estimates, in each case, believed to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized that (i) such financial information as it relates to future events is subject to significant uncertainty and contingencies (many of which are beyond the control of the Company) and are therefore not to be viewed as fact, and (ii) actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may materially differ from the results set forth therein.
EXHIBIT A
(to Supplement)
Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists as of the date of the Series 2022A Closing of (i) the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary and whether such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor, and (ii) the Company’s directors and executive officers.
Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Additional Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes, but excluding all financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule 5.5 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows (as applicable) for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnotes).
Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Series 2022A Notes or any substantially similar debt Securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy the Series 2022A Notes or any substantially similar debt Securities from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the Additional Purchasers and not more than 75 other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Series 2022A Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Series 2022A Notes to the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2022A Notes hereunder as described in Schedule 5.14. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2022A Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 25.0% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 25.0% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.
Section 5.15. Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens. (a) Except as described therein, Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the date of the Series 2022A Closing, since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries. As of the last day of the month immediately preceding the date of the Series 2022A Closing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
Schedules 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.14, 5.15, 10.1 and 10.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement are hereby supplemented by the attached Schedules 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.14, 5.15, 10.1 and 10.5.
