2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Buyer represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, as of the date hereof, with respect to only itself, that:

a. Organization and Good Standing. Such Buyer is validly existing as a limited partnership and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Such Buyer has full power and authority to (x) enter into, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and (y) consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

b. Authority; Execution; Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Buyer and constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of such Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. No consent, approval, Authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and (ii) the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for consents, authorizations and filings that have been obtained or made.

c. No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by such Buyer, the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and such Buyer’s compliance with the terms and conditions hereof and thereof is not prohibited or limited by, and do not and will not conflict with or result in the breach of or a default under, any provision of the organizational documents of such Buyer, any contract, agreement or instrument binding on or affecting such Buyer or any Applicable Laws, except as would not have a materially adverse effect on the enforceability of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement against such Buyer or the ability of such Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

d. Purchase for Own Account. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring the Purchased Shares purchased by such Buyer hereunder for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under, or exempted from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) is not party to any agreement for distribution of any of such Purchased Shares; provided, however, that, by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Purchased Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

e. Accredited Investor Status; Sophistication; Not a Broker or Dealer. Such Buyer is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”). Such Buyer acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Purchased Shares and has such knowledge and

3

experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby. Such Buyer is not a broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as amended and is not affiliated with any such registered broker-dealer.

f. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions. Such Buyer did not learn of the investment in the Purchased Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising. Such Buyer understands that the Purchased Shares are treated as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as the Preferred Shares are not being acquired from the Company in a transaction involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations, the Purchased Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements thereof, including pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) or pursuant to a private sale effected under Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or applicable formal or informal SEC guidance, such as a so-called “4[a](1) and a half sale.”

g. Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Such Buyer understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by the Company to such Buyer in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Buyer has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Purchased Shares. Neither such inquiries and consultations nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or otherwise affect such Buyer’s (i) right to rely on the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3 and elsewhere herein or in the Registration Rights Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Facility Agreement) or (ii) rights and remedies hereunder or under the Registration Rights Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

h. No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Purchased Shares or the fairness or suitability of such Buyer’s investment in the Purchased Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Purchased Shares.

i. Restrictive Legend. Each Buyer understands that, until such time as the Purchased Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Purchased Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order consistent therewith may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

j. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding, or, to the knowledge of such Buyer, any inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or other Governmental Authority pending or, to such Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against such Buyer that challenges or seeks to enjoin, alter or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as of the Closing.

k. Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby as of the Closing based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Buyer or any affiliate of such Buyer.

d. Incorporation by Reference. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3.1 of the Facility Agreement, are true and correct as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein, mutatis mutandis.

4. COVENANTS.

a. Removal of Restrictive Legends.

(i) Until such time as the Purchased Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, such Purchased Shares may bear the Securities Act Legend. The certificates (or electronic book entries, if applicable) evidencing the Purchased Shares shall not be required to contain or be subject to (and each Buyer shall be entitled to removal of) any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the Securities Act Legend) and shall not be subject to any stop-transfer instructions: (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such Purchased Shares is effective under the Securities Act and the use of such registration statement, if applicable, is not then suspended under the Registration Rights Agreement, or (B) following any sale of such Purchased Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Purchased Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) at any time on or after the date hereof that such Buyer certifies that it is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144) and that such Buyer’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 and subsection (d)(3)(iii) thereof with respect to

6

such Purchased Shares is at least six (6) months, or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) promptly after the Registration Statement Effective Date (as defined below), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of the applicable Purchased Shares without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder to the extent required or requested as set forth in the immediately following two sentences. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of the Purchased Shares, then such Purchased Shares shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions. The Company agrees that, following the Registration Statement Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 4(a), it will, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days (as defined in the Warrant) and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in the Warrant) following the delivery by such Buyer to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Purchased Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Unlegended Share Delivery Date”), deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to such Buyer a certificate representing such Purchased Shares or, at the request of such Buyer, deliver or cause to be delivered the Purchased Shares to such Buyer by crediting the account of Buyer’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, in each case, free from all restrictive and other legends and stop transfer instructions (or similar notations). Without limiting the obligations of the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its Transfer Agent promptly after the Registration Statement Effective Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to deliver a certificate (or effect an electronic transfer) in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For purposes hereof, “Registration Statement Effective Date” shall mean the date that the first Registration Statement covering the Purchased Shares that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to such Buyer, by the applicable Unlegended Share Delivery Date, a certificate representing such shares of Common Stock without legend or to issue such shares to such Buyer without legend through DWAC to the applicable balance account at DTC, as applicable (an “Unlegended Share Delivery Failure”), then the Company shall (1) promptly pay to such Buyer, for each Trading Day that such Unlegended Share Delivery Failure occurs or continues (but in no event to exceed fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days), an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the product of the number of such shares of Common Stock, multiplied by the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined in the Warrant) on such Trading Day; and (2) if after the Unlegended Share Delivery Date such Buyer is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or such Buyer or such Buyer’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Buyer of the shares which such Buyer anticipated receiving without legend (a “Buy-In”), then the Borrower shall pay in cash to such Buyer the amount by which (X) such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (Y) the amount obtained by multiplying (I) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company was required to deliver without legend to such Buyer on the Unlegended

7

Share Delivery Date multiplied by (II) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. Nothing herein shall limit a Buyer’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, under the Facility Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock without legend as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(ii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Each Buyer agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from any certificates representing Purchased Shares as set forth in subsection 4(a)(i) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Buyer will sell any Purchased Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that, if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

b. Material Nonpublic Information. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 5.1(r) of the Facility Agreement are incorporated by reference herein and made applicable to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

c. Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar non-income taxes that arise from the issuance and delivery of the Purchased Shares or the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.

d. Further Instruments and Acts. From the date of this Agreement until the Buyers no longer hold Common Stock, upon request of any Buyer, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement.

e. Reasonable Best Efforts. Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

8

c. No final and nonappealable order, judgment, injunction, award, decree or writ handed down, adopted or imposed by, any court of competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Closing shall be in effect, and no statute, rule or regulation shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by any Governmental Authority that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement; and

d. The Buyers shall have funded or shall contemporaneously fund the Initial Disbursement pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement.

a. The Company shall have delivered to such Buyer at Closing the deliverables set forth in Section 1(c)(i);

b. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct as of such date), and the Company shall have in all material respects performed, satisfied and complied with the covenants, agreements and conditions required hereunder to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date;
