[NAME OF PURCHASER]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), Teligent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to issue and sell to the purchaser identified on the signature page hereto (the “Purchaser”), the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Series B Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2023 specified on the signature page hereto (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture, to be dated as of October 31, 2019, (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (together with its successors and assigns, in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and shall be guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that from time to time are required to guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities (as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum referred to below) (the “Guarantee”).

 

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company has prepared and delivered to the Purchaser full, complete and accurate copies of a confidential preliminary disclosure packet, consisting of (i) the document titled “Preliminary Offering Memorandum,” as provided by the Company to the Purchaser on or about October 28, 2019 and (ii) any other written information provided by or on behalf of the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling the Notes (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Disclosure Package”).

 

The Notes will be offered and sold solely by the Company directly to the Purchaser without registration of any of the Notes, whether required or permitted, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other applicable securities laws, pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act solely to purchasers that are “qualified institutional buyers” as such term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”). Concurrently with the offer and sale of the Notes, the Company desires to exchange (the “Exchange”) a portion of the Company’s outstanding 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing Notes”) for Series B Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2023 (the “Exchange Notes”) with certain holders of the Existing Notes in one or more transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in an exchange agreement entered into among the Company and the holders identified therein (the “Exchange Agreement”).

 

Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company proposes to issue and sell to one or more investors other than the Purchaser (the “Other Purchasers”), severally and not jointly, up to $29,275,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, pursuant to one or more purchase agreements (“Other Purchase Agreements”) substantially in the same form as this Agreement, to be entered into by the Company and the Other Purchasers. Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (in such capacity, the “Placement Agent”) has been appointed by the Company to act as its exclusive placement agent, pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement, dated October 28, 2019, between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). This Agreement, the Other Purchase Agreements, the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantee, the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Operative Documents.”

 

 

1.            Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (as defined herein), that:

 

(a)      The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Disclosure Package in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes. The Disclosure Package does not as of the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(b)      Neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made offers or sales of any security, solicited offers to buy any security or taken any other action, under circumstances that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Notes. The offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes in the manner contemplated by this Agreement will be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

 

(c)       Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf, other than the Placement Agent has (i) offered for sale or solicited offers to purchase the Notes; (ii) engaged, or will engage, in any “directed selling efforts” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act with respect to the Notes; or (iii) engaged in any form of offering, general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of any of the Notes.

All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and, when issued, were free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or adverse claims (“Liens”).

All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens granted to secure the Senior Credit Facilities).

 

(f)       Each of the Operative Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

(h)      The Notes and the Exchange Notes have been duly authorized by the Company; and when the Notes are delivered and paid for pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date, and when the Exchange Notes are delivered as contemplated in the Exchange Agreement on the Closing Date, (i) such Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered by the Company, (ii) such Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the descriptions of Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, contained in the Disclosure Package, and (iii) such Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions; and the Notes and the Exchange Notes are entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture.

 

(i)       The shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture have been duly and validly authorized and, upon the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation upon receipt of the Shareholder Approval (as defined herein), will be validly reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued upon such conversion, will be duly and validly issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to any preemptive or other similar rights. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with applicable securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is entitled or subject to any preemptive right, right of participation, right of maintenance, right of repurchase or forfeiture, subscription right or any similar right and none of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is subject to any right of first refusal. The description of the Common Stock conforms in all material respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports (as defined herein).

 

 

(j)        None of the Company or its Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its respective charter or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) or (ii) in default (or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would be in default) under any existing obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of the properties of any of them is subject, except such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(k)      The execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents, the issuance and sale of the Notes and the issuance and delivery of the Exchange Notes, compliance with the terms and provisions of the Operative Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein and the use of the proceeds therefrom, will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined herein) under, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Company, or its Subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) any statute, rule, regulation or order, applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries, of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Governmental Entity”), or (iii) except with respect to any consents required under the Senior Credit Facilities, any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties is bound, except for any such breach, violation, default or Lien described in clause (ii) or (iii) that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(l)        Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package or the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with the Commission (collectively, “SEC Reports”), since June 30, 2019 through the date hereof (i) there has been no Material Adverse Effect, nor any development or event which would result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock and (iii) there has been no material adverse change in the capital stock, short-term indebtedness, long-term indebtedness, net current assets or net assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

 

(m)      Except as described in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports, there is no legal or governmental action, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or its Subsidiaries (i) asserting the invalidity of any of the Operative Documents; (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions provided for in the Operative Documents; or (iii) that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability (with respect to the Company) of, any of the Operative Documents.

 

(n)      The Company and its Subsidiaries have all requisite power and authority, and all authorizations, approvals, orders, licenses in the various states in which it does business, certificates and permits of and from regulatory or governmental officials, bodies and tribunals that are necessary to own or lease their respective properties (collectively, “Permits”), in each case, that are material to the Company taken as a whole. The Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Permits, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the Permits are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Permits or the failure of such Permits to be in full force and effect would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings by a Governmental Entity relating to the revocation or modification of any such Permits which, singly or in the aggregate, may reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)      The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property owned by them and good title to all other properties 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 (A) are described in the Disclosure Package or in the SEC Reports or (B) would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; and all of the leases and subleases of real property that are 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 Disclosure Package or in the SEC Reports, are in full force and effect, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

(p)      The Company and its Subsidiaries own, license or otherwise have rights in all United States and foreign patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights necessary for the conduct of their business as currently carried on and as proposed to be carried on, in each case, as described in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports (collectively and together with any applications or registrations for the foregoing, the “Intellectual Property”). Except as specifically described in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports, (i) no third parties have obtained rights to any such Intellectual Property from the Company, other than licenses granted in the ordinary course and rights that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement or misappropriation by third parties of any such Intellectual Property; (iii) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company’s rights in or to any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts that would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (iv) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts that would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (v) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company has, or any of its products, product candidates or services described in the Disclosure Package and SEC Reports that infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates, or would infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise violate, upon the commercialization of such products, product candidates or services described in the Disclosure Package and SEC Reports, any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of others, and the Company is unaware of any facts that would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (vi) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no patent or patent application that contains claims that cover or may cover any Intellectual Property described in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports as being owned by or licensed to the Company, or that is necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted or contemplated, or that interferes with the issued or pending claims of any such Intellectual Property; (vii) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no prior art or public or commercial activity of which the Company is aware that may form a reasonable basis to render any patent held by the Company invalid or any patent application held by the Company unpatentable that has not been disclosed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; and (viii) the Company has not committed any act or omitted to undertake any act for which the effect of such commission or omission would reasonably be expected to render the Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, except to the extent such invalidity or unenforceability would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the technology employed by the Company has been obtained or is being used by the Company in violation of the rights of any person or third party. There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of a material nature relating to the Intellectual Property owned by the Company that are required to be described in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports and are not described therein as so required.

(r)       The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13-a15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (E) the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and is prepared in accordance with the Commission's rules and guidelines applicable thereto. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports, since December 31, 2018, there has been (1) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (2) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the SEC Reports, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out evaluations of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, and based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

 

(s)      There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, in each case, to comply in all material respects with any applicable provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith, including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2019 (“Interim Financial Statements” and, together with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”) included in the Disclosure Package or contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and present fairly in all material respects the information required to be stated therein.

(b)          Neither the Company nor any “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 (“Affiliate”)) will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) that could be integrated with the sale of the Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Notes.

 

 

(c)            Not to solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Notes by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

(h)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) a Default or (ii) an Event of Default (as both such terms are defined in the Indenture), the Company and each Subsidiary, shall make available to the Purchaser, at the Company’s relevant facilities during normal business hours, upon reasonable written notice by the Purchaser, its books and records and the books and records of any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(i)           As soon as practicable following the Closing Date (but in no event later than 90 days following the Closing Date), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount that is sufficient to cover any issuances of Common Stock under the Indenture (“Shareholder Approval”).

 

(j)           Following the receipt of Shareholder Approval, the Company will reserve and keep available that maximum number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon conversion of the Notes outstanding from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

 

 

(k)           For a period of 45 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue or enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to any Exempt Issuance (as such term is defined in the Indenture).

 

(l)          For a period of 90 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall not affect or enter into any agreement to effect any Variable Rate Transaction (as such term is defined in the Indenture).

 

6.             Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, that:

 

(a)         The Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership (and where such partnership is not a separate legal entity from the partners thereof, the general or managing partner thereof), duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation.

 

(b)          This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

 

(c)           The Purchaser is acquiring the Notes for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by it or for the account of one or more pension or trust funds of which it is trustee, in each case, for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution thereof, in whole or in part. If the Notes are acquired for the account of one or more pension or trust funds, the Purchaser represents that it is acting as sole trustee and has sole investment discretion with respect to its acquisition of the Notes and that the determination and decision on its behalf to acquire the Notes for such pension or trust funds is being made by the same individual or group of individuals who customarily pass on such investments, provided that for a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.

 

 

(d)          The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) neither the Company nor the Placement Agent is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to the Purchaser; (ii) the Company, the Placement Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives do not make, have not made nor shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to the Purchaser, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to projections, estimates, forecasts or plans, except, with respect to the Company, as expressly set forth herein; (iii) the Purchaser has consulted with the Purchaser’s own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, actuarial, financial and accounting advisers to the extent the Purchaser has deemed necessary, and the Purchaser has made the Purchaser’s own decisions with respect to entering into this Agreement based upon the Purchaser’s own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers the Purchaser has deemed necessary; and (iv) the Purchaser is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing, and other considerations relating to, the Notes to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, counsel, agents or representatives for legal or tax advice. The Purchaser understands that no U.S. or non-U.S. federal or state agency has recommended or endorsed the purchase of Notes or made any determination or finding as to the fairness of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(e)          The Purchaser will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires the Notes.

 

(f)           The Purchaser understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Company that would permit a public offering of the Notes in the United States or any offer of the Notes to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area, or possession or distribution of any offering or publicity material relating to the Notes, in any other country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

 

(g)          The Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred except in accordance with Rule 144A or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(h)          The Purchaser represents that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as such term is defined in Rule 144A. All information set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto and Annex A hereto is true, accurate and complete in all respects.

 

(i)           The Purchaser agrees to purchase the Notes for its own account (or accounts managed by it) without a view to distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act and agrees not to reoffer or resell the Notes except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement thereunder and in any case in compliance to the satisfaction of the Company with all applicable U.S. state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

 

 

(j)           The Purchaser has been furnished with a copy of the Disclosure Package and has reviewed each of the documents contained therein.

 

(k)         The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its representatives and agents have been provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and have received answers thereto satisfactory to the Purchaser from, the Company and its representatives regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes, and the Purchaser has obtained any and all additional information requested by the Purchaser, its representatives and agents of the Company and its representatives to verify the accuracy of all information furnished to the Purchaser regarding the offering of the Notes.

 

(l)          The Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth on the signature page to this Agreement, relied solely upon the Disclosure Package and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, and the Purchaser has not relied on the Placement Agent or the Settlement Agent in negotiating the terms of its investment in the Notes, and, in making a decision to purchase the Notes, the Purchaser has not received or relied on any communication, investment advice or recommendation from the Placement Agent or the Settlement Agent.

 

(m)         Neither the Purchaser nor any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Purchaser Entity”) or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser or any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative of the Purchaser Entity, is a person that is, or is owned or controlled by a person that is:

 

(A)             the subject of any Sanctions, nor

 

(B)             located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions (including, without limitation, Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria).

 

(n)               There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser which is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(o)               The Purchaser will have at the Closing Date sufficient capital to satisfy the Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Notes pursuant to this Agreement.

 

7.            Termination. The Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Company if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE American or the over-the-counter market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) the Closing Date has not occurred by December 31, 2019, except where such failure to close was due to the delay or other fault of the Purchaser in breach of this Agreement, (v) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or (vi) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States, or any material change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Purchaser’s good faith judgment, is material and adverse and that, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (vi), makes it, in the Purchaser’s good faith judgment, impracticable or inadvisable in any material respect to proceed with the sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement.

 

 

8.            Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto. The respective agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

 

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Purchaser because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

 

9.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes, and the Indenture represent the entire agreement between the Company and the Purchaser with respect to the purchase and sale of the Notes. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. No modification, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the party to be charged, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
