(b) Authorization. The Purchaser has all requisite corporate power to enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Purchaser have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of the Purchaser. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been or will be duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitute or will constitute legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of Law or a court of equity, and by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Law affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.

(c) No Violation.

(d) Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of, action by, filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority or any third party.

(e) Offshore Transaction. The Purchaser is not a “U.S. person” and is located outside of the United States, as such terms are defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is acquiring the Note in an offshore transaction executed in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act.

(f) No Distribution. The Purchaser is acquiring the Note for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. The Purchaser does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, to distribute the Note or any Conversion Shares.

(g) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Note and the Conversion Shares are “restricted securities” that have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law, and may not be resold unless pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or an exemption from.

(h) Brokers. Neither the Purchaser nor any other Person authorized by the Purchaser to act on its behalf has retained, utilized or been represented by any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whose fees the Company would be required to pay.

(i) No Additional Representations. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company makes no express or implied representations or warranties as to any matter whatsoever except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 4.2 No Reliance.

(a) The Purchaser represents and warrants that (i) it is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement, and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Note and the Conversion Shares; (ii) it is experienced in the trading of securities of private and public companies; and (iii) it is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment, including a complete loss thereof.

(b) The Purchaser further represents and warrants that (i) it has carefully reviewed such information as it and its advisers deem necessary to make its decision to invest in the Note and the Conversion Shares, (ii) has the ability to make, and has made, an informed decision as to the risks and merits of its investment in the Note and the Conversion Shares on the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) has made its own decision to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder based exclusively on its own independent review, its financial experience, and consultations with such advisers as it deemed necessary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or representatives is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to the Purchaser, or has given the Purchaser any investment advice, opinion or other information on whether an investment in the Note and/or the Conversion Shares is prudent. The Purchaser is not relying on the Information (as defined below), or any other information other than the express representations set forth in this Agreement.

(c) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates and representatives possess material nonpublic information regarding the Company not known to the Purchaser that may impact the value of the Note and/or the Conversion Shares (the “Information”), that the Information is not disclosed in the Company’s public disclosures or its filings with the SEC, and that the Company is not disclosing the Information to the Purchaser and that the Company and its Affiliates and representatives have not made, and are not making, any representation with respect to any Information. The Purchaser understands, based on its experience, the disadvantage to which the Purchaser is subject due to the disparity of information between the Company and the Purchaser and the fact that the Information is not being disclosed to the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding such disparity, it has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder. The Purchaser acknowledges the possibility that the Information may be material to a determination of a fair value for the Note or the Conversion Shares and that value may be substantially different from the Purchase Price.

(d) The Purchaser agrees that neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or representatives shall have any liability to the Purchaser whatsoever due to or in connection with the non-disclosure of the Information, and the Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it might have based on the failure of the Company to disclose the Information. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally expressly releases, discharges and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all claims, rights, causes of action, suits, obligations, debts, demands, liabilities, controversies, costs, expenses, fees or damages of any kind (including, but not limited to, any and all claims alleging violations of federal or state securities laws, common-law fraud or deceit, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence or otherwise), whether directly, derivatively, representatively or in any other capacity, that it may have or hereafter acquire against the Company, or any of its Affiliates and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons, relating to the offer and sale of the Note and/or the Conversion Shares, including the existence or non-existence of any Information, the Purchaser’s inability to review such Information or any failure to disclose such Information.

(e) The Purchaser understands that the Company relies on the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements in entering into this Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement and performing its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and would not engage in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement in the absence of such representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements, and the Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

(f) Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing in this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to limit or restrict the Purchaser’s rights or remedies with respect to any breach or violation by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, the Note or the Registration Rights Agreement.
