The Notes shall be convertible into equity securities of the Company (collectively, the “Company Equity Securities”) as provided in the Notes. This Agreement and the Notes are referred to collectively as the “Financing Documents.” The Company’s agreements with each Lender are separate agreements, and the sales of the Notes to each of the Lenders are separate sales.

The Company may sell and issue at one or more Closings such additional Notes as may be approved by the Company’s
1
Board of Directors (the “Board”); provided that (a) the total amount of Notes that may be sold pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $ in the aggregate without the consent of the Requisite Holders (as defined below). Any such sale and issuance at any Closing shall be on the same terms and conditions as those contained herein, and each such Lender participating in a Closing shall, upon execution and delivery of the relevant signature page(s), become parties to, and be bound by, this Agreement without the need for an amendment to this Agreement except to add such person’s or entity’s name, loan amount and address to the Schedule of Lenders, and such Lender shall have the rights and obligations hereunder, in each case as of the date of the applicable Closing.

Each Lender, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company, (i) as of the date such Lender executes and delivers this Agreement to the Company, and (ii) as of the Closing in which such Lender purchases such Lender’s Note, that:
4.1 Authorization. Such Lender has full power and authority to enter into the Financing Documents, each of which constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies; and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in such Lender’s Note or this Agreement, as applicable, may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
4.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Such Lender either (i) has not been formed solely for the purpose of purchasing such Lender’s Note, or (ii) has been formed solely for the purpose of purchasing such Lender’s Note, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), each securityholder of such Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501, as in effect as of the Closing, of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities are being acquired for investment for such Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and such Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. Such Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to such Lender’s Note or Company Equity Securities. Such Lender’s residency (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on such Lender’s signature page hereto.
4.3 No Solicitation. At no time was such Lender presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of such Lender’s Note or Company Equity Securities.
4

Such Lender has received or has had full access to all of the information such Lender considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities. Such Lender has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company, or is otherwise knowledgeable, regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.
4.5 Investment Experience. Such Lender understands that the purchase of such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities involves substantial risk. Such Lender has experience investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables such Lender to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. If other than an individual, Lender also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring such Lender’s Note or the Company Equity Securities unless each securityholder of such Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501, as in effect as of the Closing, of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.6 Accredited Investor. Such Lender is familiar with the definition of, and qualifies as, an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501, as in effect as of the Closing, of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.7 Restricted Securities. Such Lender understands that such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such Lender’s Note and Company Equity Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Lender represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect as of the Closing, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Such Lender acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Company Equity Securities for resale. Such Lender understands and acknowledges that an investment in such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities involves an extremely high degree of risk and may result in a complete loss of such Lender’s investment. Such Lender understands that such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered and that such Lender will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities unless such Lender’s Note or Company Equity Securities are registered under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.
5
4.8 No Public Market. Such Lender understands and acknowledges that, whether or not such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities may be resold in the future without registration under the Securities Act, no public market exists as of the Closing for such Lender’s Note or the Company Equity Securities and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for such securities.
4.9 No Liquidity. Such Lender has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with its investment in such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities, does not anticipate being required to sell such Lender’s Note or Company Equity Securities in the foreseeable future and has the capacity to sustain a complete loss of its investment in such Lender’s Note and the Company Equity Securities.
4.10 Tax Liability. Such Lender has reviewed with its own tax advisors the federal, state, local and/or foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Lender understands that such Lender (and not the Company) shall be responsible for such Lender’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the enforceability of the Agreement or any part thereof, by any Lender whether arising by reason of the law of the respective Lender’s domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to any other Lender.
