Certain terms used and not otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement are defined in Section 8 hereof.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, desire to purchase from the Company, an aggregate amount equal to $1,249,283 of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and each Purchaser is executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and not in reliance upon any of the safe harbors set forth in Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Authorization of Securities.

1.01 The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of shares of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The shares of Common Stock sold hereunder at the Closing (as defined below) shall be referred to as the “Securities”.

SECTION 2. Sale and Purchase of the Securities.

2.01 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a closing to take place remotely, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6, via electronic exchange of executed documents (the “Closing” and the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”) to occur on the third Business Day following the date of this Agreement or at such other date or place as shall be determined by written agreement between the Purchasers and the Company, that number of Securities (the “Closing Shares”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers for the aggregate Purchase Price set forth under the heading “Subscription Amount” (subject to adjustment for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar recapitalization transaction effected after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing).

2.02 At or prior to the Closing, each Purchaser will pay the subscription amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers (the “Subscription Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Company to the Purchasers at least two Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Wire Instructions Notice”). On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver, against payment by each Purchaser of its Subscription Amount, the Closing Shares in book-entry form, registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee as instructed by the Purchaser) free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under applicable securities laws) in the name of such Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with such Purchaser’s delivery instructions) on the Company’s share register, and shall provide evidence of such issuance from the Company’s Transfer Agent as of the Closing Date to each Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) each Purchaser acknowledges that, as may be agreed among the Company and one or more Purchasers, such Purchasers may not be required to fund their respective Subscription Amounts until such Purchasers receive evidence of the issuance of the Closing Shares on and as of the Closing Date in book-entry form registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee as instructed by the Purchaser) and (ii) the Schedule of Purchasers may be amended by the Company and the affected Purchaser up to three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, without the consent of the other parties hereto, to reflect the actual number of Securities purchased by each Purchaser at the Closing, provided that the Company shall provide to Purchasers such updated Schedule of Purchasers.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that:

3.01 Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability or similar actions, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

3.02 Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or other person which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Purchaser who is entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be liable in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.03 Investment Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Securities has not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state or other securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction and is being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.

3.04 Acquisition for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring its entire beneficial ownership interest in the Securities for its own account or for an account over which it exercises sole discretion for another qualified institutional buyer or accredited investor for investment purposes and not with a view towards any distribution in a manner which would violate the 1933 Act or any applicable state or other securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

3.05 No General Solicitation. Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any advertising or, to its knowledge, general solicitation, within the meaning of the 1933 Act. The purchase of the Securities by the Purchaser has not been solicited by or through anyone other than the Company or, on the Company’s behalf, Piper Sandler & Co., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (together, the “Placement Agents”), who have been engaged as co-placement agents for the offering of the Securities.

3.06 Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. The Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional investor, experienced in investing in private placement transactions and having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating investment merits and risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including its prospective investment in the Securities and participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser has exercised independent judgment in evaluating their participation in the purchase of the Securities, and has determined based on their own independent review and such professional advice as they deem appropriate that their purchase of the Securities and participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) are fully consistent with the Purchaser’s financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to the Purchaser, (iii) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under the Purchaser’s charter, by-laws or other constituent document or under any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation by which it is bound and (iv) is a fit, proper and suitable investment for the Purchaser, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Securities. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic and other risks of an investment in the Securities including but not limited to loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment therein.

3.07 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is (i) a qualified purchaser (as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), (ii) a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A of the 1933 Act), and/or (iii) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) under the 1933 Act, and satisfies any private placement requirements applicable in any non-U.S. jurisdiction where the Securities may be offered (“Applicable Non-U.S. laws”). Accordingly, the Purchaser understands that the offering meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J). Such Purchaser is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c). Accordingly, such Purchaser also understands that the offering meets (i) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (ii) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).

3.08 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction, are being offered for resale in transactions not requiring registration under the 1933 Act, and that the Securities will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, unless so registered, such Securities may not be resold or transferred in the United States or otherwise except in compliance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any other applicable securities laws (or pursuant to any exemption therefrom or in a transaction not subject thereto), and the restrictions on transfer set forth in the definitive documentation for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.09 Review and Advisors. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to review with the Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of its purchase of the Securities set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Securities. The Purchaser is relying solely on the Purchaser’s own determination as to tax consequences, and on the Purchaser’s own sources of information and advisors with respect to all tax matters, and not on any statements or representations of the Company (other than the representations and warranties in this Agreement), the Placement Agents or any of their respective agents, and understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser has conducted its own investigation of the Company and the Securities and has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents concerning the Company or the Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities, and has (i) received, reviewed and understood the offering materials as it deems necessary to make its decision to purchase the Securities, including financial and other information made available to it in connection with the Securities, the Company and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company directly, including and as it deems necessary to make its decision to purchase the Securities with respect to the financial information, the Securities, the Company and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and (iii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the Securities, the Company and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. Based on such information as the Purchaser deemed appropriate and without reliance upon the Placement Agents, the Purchaser has independently made its own analysis and decision to purchase the Securities. Except for the SEC Reports and the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Securities and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

3.10 Residency. Such Purchaser’s residence (if an individual) or offices in which its investment decision with respect to the Securities was made (if an entity) are located at the address immediately below such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers, or as otherwise noted on the Schedule of Purchasers.

3.11 Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has been given access to Company documents, records, and other information, and has had adequate opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers, employees, agents, accountants and representatives concerning the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and all other matters relevant to its investment in the Securities. The Purchaser understands that an investment in the Securities bears significant risk and represents that it has reviewed the SEC Reports, which serve to qualify certain of the Company representations set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, neither the due diligence investigation conducted by

the Purchaser in connection with making its decision to purchase the Securities nor any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser herein shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Reports, taking into account any cautionary statements with respect to forward-looking statements, risk factors, and other disclaimers.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties by the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports prior to the Effective Date and only as and to the extent disclosed therein, the Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that:

4.01 Absence of Changes. Since November 3, 2023, the Company has conducted its business only in the ordinary course of business (except for the execution and performance of this Agreement and the discussions, negotiations, and transactions related thereto) and (i) there has not been any Material Adverse Effect, (ii) there have been no transactions entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than those in the ordinary course of business and except as contemplated in this Agreement, which are material with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, and (iii) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock. The Company is not, as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 4.01, “Insolvent” means, with respect to any Person, (w) the present fair saleable value of such Person’s assets is less than the amount required to pay such Person’s total indebtedness, (x) such Person is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (y) such Person intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (z) such Person has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

4.02 Organization and Good Standing of the Company. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all necessary power and authority (i) to conduct its business in all material respects in the manner in which its business is currently being conducted, (ii) to own or lease and use its property and assets in the manner in which its property and assets are currently owned or leased and used in all material respects and (iii) to perform its obligations under all contracts by which it is bound in all material respects. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.03 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any subsidiaries and does not otherwise own any shares of capital stock or any interest in any other person. The Company does not control directly or indirectly or have any direct or indirect equity participation or similar interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other business association or entity, except as set forth on such Exhibit 21.1.

4.04 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date hereof, there were (i) 8,023,400 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and (ii) no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As set forth in the SEC Reports as of the date set forth therein, all of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and were not issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive right or other rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no existing options, warrants, calls, subscriptions or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character, relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of the Company, obligating the Company to issue, transfer, sell, redeem, purchase, repurchase or otherwise acquire or cause to be issued, transferred, sold, redeemed, purchased, repurchased or otherwise acquired any capital stock or voting debt of, or other equity interest in, the Company or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests or obligations of the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, subscription or other right, agreement, arrangement or commitment. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the issuance of Common Stock or other securities pursuant to any provision of this Agreement will give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal on behalf of any Person or result in the triggering of any anti-dilution or other similar rights (including a rights distribution under any “poison pill” plan or similar arrangement). Other than the Common Stock, there are no other shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company issued or outstanding.

4.05 Validity; Valid Issuance of Securities. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser, this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies. The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any liens or other restrictions, other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws or such restrictions as the Purchaser has agreed to in writing with the Company, and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

4.06 Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries do not own any real property. The Company and its subsidiaries have title to all tangible personal property owned by them, in each case, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind except such as do not, singly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and all of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds properties described in the SEC Reports, are in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has any notice of any material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or any subsidiary under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or such subsidiary to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease. The Company and each of its subsidiaries are in compliance with such leases, except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.07 Governmental Consents and Filings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Purchasers in Section 3 hereof, no material consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity (as defined below) is required on the part of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (i) the filing of a Listing of Additional Shares notification form with the Trading Market and (ii) filings pursuant to applicable state securities laws, which have been made or will be made in a timely manner.

4.08 Absence of Violations, Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its charter, bylaws or similar organizational document, (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”), except for such defaults that would not, singly or in the aggregate, or would not reasonably be expected to, result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) in violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any arbitrator, court, governmental body, regulatory body, administrative agency or other authority, body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets or operations (each, a “Governmental Entity”), except for such violations that would not, singly or in the aggregate, or would not reasonably be expected to, result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and the

performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (including the issuance and sale of the Securities) and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, (1) conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments, (2) result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or similar organizational document of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (3) result in any violation of any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any Governmental Entity, except in the case of clauses (1) and (3), for such violations as would not, singly or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.09 Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding or, to the knowledge of the Company, inquiry or investigation, before or brought by any Governmental Entity now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which would have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material judgments, orders or decrees outstanding against the Company or any of its subsidiaries

4.10 Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate Governmental Entities necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the failure so to possess would not, singly or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11 Payment of Taxes. All United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be promptly taken and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. No assessment in connection with United States federal tax returns has been made against the Company. Subject to exceptions as would not be material, no claim has ever been made by a Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file tax returns that the Company is subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them through the date hereof or have timely requested extensions thereof pursuant to applicable foreign state, local or other law except insofar as the failure to file such returns would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or all taxes due and payable pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been established by the Company or its subsidiaries and except where the failure to pay such taxes would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.12 Insurance. The Company and the subsidiaries carry or are entitled to the benefits of insurance, with what the Company reasonably believes to be financially sound and reputable insurers, in such amounts and covering such risks as is adequate for the conduct of their respective businesses and the value of their respective properties and assets, and all such insurance is in full force and effect. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of the subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not been denied any material insurance coverage that it has sought or for which it has applied.

4.13 Investment Company Act. The Company is not required, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities will not be required, to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

4.14 SEC Reports.

4.17 Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports, together with the related notes, comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement) and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified; said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except in the case of unaudited, interim financial statements, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the exclusion of certain footnotes. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports (including in the financial statements included therein) and the obligations and fees incurred in connection with the transactions described herein, the Company has not incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent (as to amount and nature) with past practices since the date of such financial statements, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.18 Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports are independent public accountants as required by the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in paragraph (f) of Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act. To the knowledge of the Company, other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been no material weakness in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) that is reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. The Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

4.20 Contracts.

Promptly after receipt by any such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances that would or may give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 5.10, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees

and expenses relating to such Proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In the event of the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (iii), if the Indemnified Person notifies the Company in writing that such Indemnified Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified Person. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned or to the extent fees or costs incurred pursuant to this Section 5.10 are attributable to the Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchasers in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Further, the Company shall remove all restrictive legends, including the legend set forth in Section 7.01 above, following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

Upon the removal of restrictive legends pursuant to this Section 7.02, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to any Purchaser new book-entry statements representing the Securities that are free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of such Purchaser, via DWAC transfer to such Purchaser’s account.

Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

9.09 Counterparts; Effectiveness.

9.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that it is found to be invalid or unenforceable. Such provision shall, to the maximum extent allowable by law, be modified by such court so that it becomes enforceable, and, as modified, shall be enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other provisions hereof continuing in full force and effect.

9.12 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. The decision of each Purchaser to Purchase securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, material, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company that may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group (including a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), and the Company will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and each Purchaser confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser. It is expressly understood that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

9.13 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and each Purchaser (with respect to itself) or (b) if, on the Closing Date, any of the conditions of Closing set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated. Nothing in this Section 9.13 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.13, the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 9.13, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement as a result therefrom.

9.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person; provided, however, that each of the Placement Agents will be entitled to rely, as an express third-party beneficiary, on the representations and warranties of the Purchasers and the Company set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 hereof, the covenants set forth in Section 5 hereof and Sections 9.04, 9.05, 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12 and 9.13 hereof.

9.15 Arm’s Length Transactions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions described in this Agreement are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the parties, (ii) the Purchasers have not assumed nor will they assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in the Company’s favor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the process leading thereto, and the Purchasers have no obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any advice given by any of the Purchasers or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of its Securities, and (iv) the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

9.16 Interpretation. Wherever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, and references to any agreement, document or instrument shall be deemed to refer to such agreement, document or instrument as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time. All article, section, paragraph or clause references not attributed to a particular document shall be references to such parts of this Agreement, and all exhibit, annex, letter and schedule references not attributed to a particular document shall be references to such exhibits, annexes, letters and schedules to this Agreement. In addition, the word “or” is not exclusive; the words “including,” “includes,” “included” and “include” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the terms “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision.

9.17 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.18 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Price. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference herein to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.
