(a) Such Purchaser is, and was at the time such Purchaser was offered the Series A Preferred Shares, (i) a qualified institutional buyer (within the meaning of Rule 144A(a)(1) under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional accredited investor (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) of Regulation D) or (iii) a non-U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Regulation S) and will not acquire the Series A Preferred Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person (as such term is defined in Regulation S).

(b) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Series A Preferred Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution thereof that would not otherwise comply with the Securities Act.

(c) Such Purchaser understands that (i) the Series A Preferred Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and the Series A Preferred Shares are being issued by the Issuer in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) all or any part of the Series A Preferred Shares may not be offered or sold except pursuant to effective registration statements under the Securities Act or pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state Laws.

(d) Such Purchaser understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) (the provisions of which are known to such Purchaser) depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, which may not be satisfied, and that, if satisfied, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts. Such Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Series A Preferred Shares, and that the Issuer has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Series A Preferred Shares.

(e) Such Purchaser did not employ any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and no fees or commissions are payable to such Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(f) No portion of the funds or assets that will be used by such Purchaser to pay its respective portion of the Purchase Price or to acquire or hold the Series A Preferred Shares, constitute or will constitute the assets of any (i) employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) plan described in and subject to Section 4975 of the IRC (each such employee benefit plan and plan described in clauses (i) and (ii) referred to herein as an “ERISA Plan”), (iii) plan, account or other arrangement subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC that could cause the underlying assets of the Issuer to be treated as assets of such plan, account or arrangement (a “ Similar Law Plan”) or (iv) entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” of any such ERISA Plan or Similar Law Plan pursuant to Section 3(42) of ERISA and any regulations that may be promulgated thereunder or otherwise.

(g) Such Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Series A Preferred Shares and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Series A Preferred Shares indefinitely and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(h) Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed all materials such Purchaser deemed necessary for the purpose of making an investment decision with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares, including information regarding the Transactions, and such Purchaser has evaluated the risks of investing in the Series A Preferred Shares and understands there are substantial risks of loss incidental to the investment and has determined that it is a suitable investment for such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers concerning the Group Parties and all such questions have been answered to such Purchaser’s satisfaction. The determination of such Purchaser to acquire any Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independent of any such answers given or other statements made by the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates and representatives.

(i) Such Purchaser has had the opportunity to consult with its own tax and other advisors with respect to the consequences to such Purchaser of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Series A Preferred Shares, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other income tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws. Such Purchaser acknowledges that none of the Issuer, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors, beneficiaries, heirs, and assigns and its and their past and present directors, managers, officers, employees, and agents (including, without limitation, their attorneys) makes or has made any representation or warranties to such Purchaser regarding the consequences to such Purchaser of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Series A Preferred Shares or the consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws. Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel regarding his, her or its rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Purchaser fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

Section 3.6 Brokerage Fees. Such Purchaser is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against any Group Party for a brokerage fee, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the purchase of the Series A Preferred Shares.

Section 3.7 Litigation. No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened in writing against such Purchaser which would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on such Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder and the other Preferred Agreements to which it is a party.

Section 3.8 Disclaimer. Such Purchaser has not relied, is not relying and will not at any time rely on any communication (written or oral) of the Group Parties or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers, finders or other advisors or representatives of any of the foregoing (the “Issuer Parties”), as investment advice or as a recommendation to acquire the Series A Preferred Shares, it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Preferred Agreements or any other document or information provided in connection with any of the foregoing shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to acquire the Series A Preferred Shares. Such Purchaser confirms that no Issuer Party has given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Series A Preferred Shares. In deciding to acquire the Series A Preferred Shares, such Purchaser has not relied, is not relying and will not at any time rely on the advice or recommendations of any Issuer Party and such Purchaser has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Series A Preferred Shares is suitable and appropriate for such Purchaser.

Such opinion of counsel shall be delivered in writing to the Issuer prior to the date of the Transfer.

Each Holder shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.4 by its Representatives. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) each Holder and each Representative thereof may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment, tax structure or tax strategies of, and the tax strategies relating to, the Issuer and the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to such Holder or Representative thereof relating to such tax treatment, tax structure, or tax strategies, (B) each Holder that is an investment fund may disclose Confidential Information (subject to confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as set forth herein) relating directly to its investment in the Issuer on a confidential basis to its and its Affiliates’ investors, limited partners so long as they are under similar confidential duties to such Holder, or prospective investors in connection with its ordinary course reporting and fundraising activities, (C) each Holder may disclose Confidential Information to other Holders or as required in any legal proceeding initiated by the Holder to enforce its rights under this Agreement, (D) each Holder may disclose Confidential Information (subject to confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as set forth herein)to any nationally recognized rating agency or investor of a Holder that requires access to information about a Holder’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued or investment decisions with respect to such Holder and (E) each Holder may disclose Confidential Information to prospective purchasers (subject to confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as set forth herein)in connection with a Permitted Transfer.

(b) If any Holder or Representative thereof becomes legally compelled (including by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Holder or Representative thereof shall provide the Issuer with prompt and, if possible, prior written notice of such requirement to disclose such Confidential Information, to the extent such notice is legally permissible. Upon receipt of such notice, the Issuer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such Holder and its Representatives shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed (as determined in good faith by counsel to such Holder) and shall take all reasonable steps to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. In addition, neither such Holder or its Representatives shall oppose any action (and such Holder and its Representatives shall, if and to the extent requested by the Issuer and legally permissible to do so, cooperate with and assist the Issuer, at the Issuer’s expense and on a reasonable basis, in any reasonable action) by the Issuer to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded the Confidential Information.

Section 5.5 Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties” and with the Purchasers, each, an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Issuer contained herein (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Issuer shall have no obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to (i) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) claims brought by an Indemnitee solely against another Indemnitee and not arising out of any act or omission of the Issuer; provided also that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, incidental, consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, indirect, incidental and consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units to the extent resulting from, arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Issuer contained herein, which is specifically included in damages covered by the Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification.

Section 5.6 Ownership of Issuer Securities. Upon reasonable request from the Issuer, each Purchaser, together with any of its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of its aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock and any other securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock (a “Beneficial Ownership Notice”), which the Issuer may rely upon for purposes of the payment of any amounts in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designation. To the extent any such Purchaser does not promptly (and in no event later than two Business Days after any such request) provide a Beneficial Ownership Notice, the Issuer may rely on the most recent Beneficial Ownership Notice received from such Purchaser for purposes of any such payment of shares of Common Stock (or, to the extent no prior Beneficial Ownership Notice has been provided, the information set forth in Exhibit B).
