Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis with a minimum of 10 business days’ prior notice to investors.

The issuance and sale of the Common Stock are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D or Regulation S thereunder, as applicable.
