The Investor and each Exchanging Investor has considered the suitability of the Shares as an investment in light of the Investor and such Exchanging Investor’s circumstances and financial condition and is able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the Shares, including the risk of total loss.

It is understood that information provided by the Company, the Advisor or any of their respective affiliates and representatives shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to participate in the Exchange, and that none of the Company, the Advisor or any of their respective affiliates or representatives is acting or has acted as an advisor to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor in deciding to participate in the Exchange.

To the Investor’s knowledge, no Exchanging Investor acquired any of the Notes, directly or indirectly, from an Affiliate of the Company. A period of at least one year (calculated in the manner provided in Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act) has lapsed since the Exchanged Notes of the Investor and Exchanging Investors were acquired from the Company or from a person known by the Investor or Exchanging Investors to be an Affiliate of the Company. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledge that the Company is a former shell company as defined under Rule 144(i) of the Securities Act and as such, the Shares may only be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act if, at the time of the resale of the Shares, the Company is in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) of the Securities Act.

(m) Neither the Investor nor any Exchanging Investor is directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Company.

The Investor and each Exchanging Investor understands that the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and are being issued without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exemption depends in part upon the investment intent of the Exchanging Investors and the accuracy of the other representations and warranties made by the Investor or behalf of the Exchanging Investors in this Agreement. The Investor and the Exchanging Investors understand that the Company is relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental

information provided to the Company by the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemption(s) and to issue the Shares without legends as set forth herein.

(o) The Investor acknowledges that the terms of the Exchange have been mutually negotiated between the Investor and the Company. The Investor was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Exchange.

(p) The Investor acknowledges that it and each Exchanging Investor had a sufficient amount of time to consider whether to participate in the Exchange and that neither the Company nor the Advisor has placed any pressure on the Investor or any Exchanging Investor to respond to the opportunity to participate in the Exchange. The Investor acknowledges that neither it nor any Exchanging Investor became aware of the Exchange through any form of general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act or otherwise through a “public offering” under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

(q) The Investor acknowledges it and each Exchanging Investor understands that the Company intends to pay the Advisor a fee in respect of the Exchange.

(r) The Investor will, upon request, execute and deliver, for itself and on behalf of any Exchanging Investor, any additional documents reasonably determined by the Company and the Trustee or the transfer agent to be necessary to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(s) No later than one (1) Business Day after the date hereof, the Investor agrees to deliver to the Company settlement instructions substantially in the form of Exhibit B.1 attached to this Agreement for each of the Exchanging Investors.

(t) The Investor and each Exchanging Investor understands that the Company, the Advisor and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants and agrees that if any of the representations and warranties deemed to have been made by it or any of the Exchanging Investors are no longer accurate, the Investor shall promptly notify the Company and the Advisor prior to the Closing. The Investor understands that, unless the Investor notifies the Company in writing to the contrary before the Closing, each of the Investor’s and Exchanging Investors’ representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will be deemed to have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of the Closing. If the Investor is exchanging any Exchanged Notes and acquiring the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts (including for purposes of this Section 3(t), the Accounts which are Exchanging Investors), it represents that (i) it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account, (ii) it has full power to make the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants on behalf of such account and (iii) it has contractual authority with respect to each such Account.

(u) The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Advisor has not acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor and that the Advisor and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have no responsibility for making, and have not made, any independent investigation of the information contained herein or in the Company’s SEC filings and make no representation or warranty to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor, express or implied, with respect to the Company, the Exchanged Notes or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the information provided to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor or any other publicly available information, nor shall any of the foregoing persons be liable for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from the use of the information contained therein or otherwise supplied to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor.

(v) The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges and understands that as of the date of this Agreement and at the time of the Closing, the Company and/or the Advisor may be in possession of material non-public information not known to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor that may impact the value of the Notes, including the Exchanged Notes, and the Shares (“Information”) that the Company and/or the Advisor have not disclosed to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges that they have not relied upon the non-disclosure of any such Information for purposes of making their decision to participate in the Exchange. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor understands, based on its experience, the disadvantage to which the Investor and each Exchanging Investor is subject due to the disparity of information between the Company and the Advisor, on the one hand, and the Investor and each Exchanging Investor, on the other hand. Notwithstanding this, the Investor and each Exchanging Investor has deemed it appropriate to participate in the Exchange. The Investor agrees that the Company, the Advisor and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders and affiliates shall have no liability to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor or their respective beneficiaries whatsoever due to or in connection with the Company’s and/or the Advisor’s use or non-disclosure of the Information or otherwise as a result of the Exchange, and the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it or any Exchanging Investor might have based on the failure of the Company and/or the Advisor to disclose the Information.

(x) The Investor and each Exchanging Investor are subject to policies and procedures designed to ensure material compliance with any applicable rules and regulations administered or conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), any applicable rules and regulations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and any applicable Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) rules in the Bank Secrecy Act.

The Investor and each Exchanging Investor covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it shall disclose to a third party any information regarding the Exchange or engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time the Exchange is publicly disclosed by the Company. “Short Sales” include all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO promulgated under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers, in each case, solely to the extent such transaction has the same economic effect as a “short sale” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO. Solely for purposes of this Section 2(z), subject to the Investor’s and each Exchanging Investor’s compliance with their respective obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and the Investor’s and such Exchange Investor’s respective internal policies, (a) “Investor” and “Exchanging Investor” shall not be deemed to include any employees, subsidiaries, desks, groups or affiliates of the Investor or the applicable Exchanging Investor that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Fire Wall” information barriers approved by the Investor’s or such Exchanging Investor’s respective legal or compliance department (and thus such walled off parties have not been privy to any information concerning the Exchange), and (b) the foregoing representations and covenants of this Section 2(z) shall not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of an Account that was effected without the advice or participation of, or such Account’s receipt of information regarding the Exchange provided by, the Investor or the applicable Exchanging Investor.

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a holder who exchanges Notes for Shares generally must provide such holder’s correct TIN on a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 (available from the Company or at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or a holder’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed under Section 6723 of the Code. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding (currently set at 24% of the payment). If a holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have a TIN, the holder should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders (including corporations and non-U.S. holders) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements.

A non-U.S. holder (i) will be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding on certain payments to such holder unless such holder establishes an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, such withholding, and (ii) must establish its status as an exempt recipient from backup withholding and can do so by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY (and all required attachments), or other applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company or at www.irs.gov), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such holder’s exempt foreign status. This form also may establish an exemption from withholding under Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code.

U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.
