On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement or by the Long Stop Date, the Company is entering into or will enter into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and together with the Investor, the “Note Investors”) pursuant to which the Note Investors, severally and not jointly, have agreed to purchase on the Closing Date (as defined below) or on a Subsequent Closing Date (as defined below) up to $82 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes, including of the Purchased Notes (as defined below).
The Investor and each Account understands that the Notes Offering is being made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, and that the Notes Offering is only being made to investors who are “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) or “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance upon a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Certain holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F hereto (the “Resale Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and certain of the Notes Investors, pursuant to which the Company will agree to file one or more registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Resale Registration Rights Agreement). This Subscription Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Resale Registration Rights Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents,” and the Transaction Documents together with the Pricing Term Sheet are referred to as the “Private Placement Documents.”

2. | The Closing. The initial closing of the Notes Offering (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on 3 March, 2022, or at such other time and place as the Company may designate by at least one business day’s advance notice to the Investor (the “Closing Date”); provided that the Closing Date cannot be later than 4 March, 2022 without the prior written consent |
of the Investor. The Notes Offering will remain open for further closings (each a “Subsequent Closing”) at any time up to the earlier of: (i) the Company’s announcement of its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021; and (ii) March 20, 2022 (such earlier date being the “Long Stop Date”).

EXHIBIT D TO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Non-Reliance Letter
In connection with the Notes Offering, we represent, warrant, agree and acknowledge as follows, for ourselves and on behalf of each of the other beneficial owners listed under that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between ourselves and the Company, for whom we hold contractual and investment authority, if any:
1. No disclosure or offering document has been prepared in connection with the Notes Offering by X. Xxxx Capital Advisors LLC or any of its affiliates (“X. Xxxx”).
2. (a) We have conducted our own investigation of the Company and the Notes and we have not relied on any statements or other information provided by X. Xxxx concerning the Company, the Notes or the Notes Offering, (b) we have had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review, financial and other information as we deem necessary to make our decision to subscribe to the Notes Offering, (c) we have been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers thereto, as we deemed necessary in connection with our decision to subscribe to the Notes Offering, and (d) we have made our own assessment and have satisfied ourselves concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to our investment in the Notes.
3. X. Xxxx and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company or the Notes or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to us by the Company.
4. In connection with the Notes Offering, X. Xxxx has not acted as our financial advisor or fiduciary.
5. We are (x) a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and (y) an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and, in the case of (y), either (i) an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) or (ii) a qualified purchaser, as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act, as amended. Accordingly, we understand that the Notes Offering meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rules 5123(b)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (J). We are aware that the issuance and delivery to us of the Notes are being made in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act and are acquiring the Notes for our own account or for an account over which we exercise sole discretion for another qualified institutional buyer or accredited investor.
6. We are able to fend for ourselves in the transactions contemplated herein, have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our prospective investment in the Notes and have the ability to bear the economic risks of our prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment.
7. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, are being offered for resale in transactions not requiring registration under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, pursuant to any exemption therefrom or in a transaction not subject thereto.
8. The terms of the Notes Offering have been mutually negotiated between ourselves and the Company. We were given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Notes Offering.
