Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”; this commitment letter, the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).

In connection with the Transactions, Antara is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility (the “Commitment”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the aggregate amount of the Term Facility committed to be provided by Antara hereunder and the aggregate amount of the economics of Antara hereunder may not be reduced without the prior written consent of Antara.
2. Titles and Roles.

3. Information.
You hereby represent, warrant and covenant that (a) all information (other than the Projections) that has been or will be made available directly or indirectly to any Commitment Party by the Borrower or any of its
2
representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, is and, when provided, will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and, when provided, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, not misleading, and (b) all projections (“Projections”) that have been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by the Borrower or any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable by the preparer thereof at the time such Projections are provided to any Commitment Party; it being understood that any such Projections are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material. You agree, if at any time you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect, to promptly supplement the Information and such Projections such that such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects. You further agree to supplement the Information and any Projections previously provided, or that will be provided, from time to time and agree to promptly notify each Commitment Party of any changes in circumstances that could be expected to call into question the continued reasonableness of any assumption underlying any Projections previously provided, or that will be provided, by or on behalf of The Borrower or any of its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. You acknowledge and agree that, in issuing this Commitment Letter, each Commitment Party is using and relying on the accuracy of the Information and the Projections, and, in structuring, arranging or syndicating the Term Facility, the Commitment Parties may use and rely on the Information and the Projections and other offering and marketing materials or information memoranda, without independent verification thereof. You shall, and shall cause each of your respective affiliates and your and your affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives, to provide to the Commitment Parties all information regarding the Transactions as any Commitment Party may reasonably request.
4. Conditions.
The commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and Antara are subject to there not having occurred, since June 30, 2019, and except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents or the Draft Filings heretofore provided to Antara (as such terms are defined in the SPA), any event that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in or effect on the general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as determined by Antara in its good faith business judgment. The commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and Antara are also subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Closing Conditions” in Exhibit A, the conditions set forth in Exhibit B, and the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation on or before October 31, 2019 with respect to the Term Facility reflecting, among other things, the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Exhibits A and B, in a manner acceptable to Antara. In addition, the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and Antara are conditioned upon and made subject to Antara not becoming aware after the date hereof of any new or inconsistent information or other matter not previously disclosed to Antara relating to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter which Antara, in its reasonable judgment, deems material and adverse relative to the information or other matters disclosed to Antara prior to the date hereof.
You agree that, for purposes hereof, the date on which the Term Facility is funded and the Transactions are concurrently consummated shall be a date mutually agreed upon between you and us, but in any event shall not occur until the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter (including consummation of the transactions under the SPA) are satisfied (the “Closing Date”).
