NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth herein, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Shares and Warrants. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby agrees to acquire from the Company, up to an aggregate of 21,428,571 shares of the Company’s Series B-1 Preference Shares (the “Shares” or “Series B-1 Shares”) at a price of USD $1.40 per share (the “Purchase Price”) as respectively set forth on Exhibit A-1. The Company is also issuing to Key Gate warrants to purchase up to 4,421,768 Series B-1 Shares (subject to adjustment) or, at the holder’s sole option, shares of the class and series of Preference Shares issued by the Company to investors in the Company’s next round of equity financing (the “Next Financing”) that occurs following the Series B-1 financing and prior to the expiration of such warrants, as the case may be, of which 2,380,952 warrants (subject to adjustment) shall have an initial exercise price of USD $2.10 (subject to adjustment) and 2,040,816 warrants (subject to adjustment) shall have an initial exercise price of USD $2.45 (subject to adjustment) (collectively, the “Warrants”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

The Shares and the Conversion Shares shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Fifth Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association of the Company (the “Amended Memorandum”) and the Fifth Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Amended Articles”) of the Company, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 and Exhibit C-2, respectively.
2. Closing.
(a) Closing. The purchase, sale and issuance of the Shares and the Warrants shall take place at such time and on such date as designated by the Company and the Purchaser (the “Closing” and the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”).
(b) Closing Mechanics. The Closing will take place by facsimile or PDF, at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.C., or at such other place as shall be designated by the Company and agreed to by the Purchaser. At or before the Closing, the Company and the Purchaser will execute counterpart signature pages to this Agreement, the

At or before the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser in the Closing, which is set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name in Exhibit A-1 hereto. The payment shall be in the form of a cashier’s check, wire transfer of immediately available funds or cancellation of indebtedness. At the Closing, or as promptly thereafter as practicable, the Company will deliver the Warrants to the Purchaser and issue to the Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares being purchased by the Purchaser, as set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name in Exhibit A-1 hereto, registered in the name of the Purchaser.
3. Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) No Registration. The Purchaser understands that the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
(b) Investment Intent. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares, as applicable, for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Purchaser further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares or the Conversion Shares.
(c) Investment Experience. The Purchaser, or its purchaser representative, within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(h), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (its “Purchaser Representative”), has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that the Purchaser or its Purchaser Representative, can protect such Purchaser’s interests. The Purchaser or its Purchaser Representative has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that the Purchaser or its Purchaser Representative is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.
(d) Ability to Bear Financial Risk. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Purchaser can bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s investment and is able, without impairing the Purchaser’s financial condition, to hold the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Purchaser’s investment.
2
(e) Access to Data. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning the Agreements, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, as well as the Company’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. The Purchaser acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. The Purchaser also acknowledges that it is relying solely on its own counsel and not on any statements or representations (other than each representation and warranty of the Company set forth in any of the Agreements) of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
(f) Accredited Investor. Unless the Purchaser is designated as a “Regulation S Investor” on Exhibit A-2 hereto, such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
(g) Residency. The residency of the Purchaser (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s registered address) is correctly set forth on the Schedule of Purchasers.
(h) Rule 144. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which provides for a non-exclusive safe harbor to exempt resales of shares purchased in a private placement from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Purchaser understands that the current public information requirement of Rule 144 is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that notwithstanding any obligation under the Amended Members Agreement, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Purchaser wishes to sell the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, the Purchaser may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied. The Purchaser acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. The Purchaser understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
3
(i) No Public Market. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.
(j) Authorization.
(i) The Purchaser has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreements, to purchase the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, as applicable, hereunder and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreements. All action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements, and the performance of all of the Purchaser’s obligations under the Agreements, has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing.
(ii) The Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (i) to the extent that the indemnification provisions contained in the Amended Members Agreement may be limited by applicable law and principles of public policy, (ii) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (iii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or by general principles of equity.
(iii) No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any court, governmental authority or third person is required to be obtained by the Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of the Agreements by the Purchaser or the performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(k) Brokers or Finders. The Purchaser has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents, and neither the Company nor any other Purchaser has, nor will, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Purchaser, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Agreements.
(l) Tax Advisors. The Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. With respect to such matters, the Purchaser relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
(m) ERISA Status. If any Purchaser is a “benefit plan investor” (as such term is defined in the regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor included within 29 C.F.R. section 2510.3-101) subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of part 4 of title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”), such Purchaser shall indicate such status by writing “ERISA Purchaser” next to its name on Exhibit A-1 hereto.
4
