1.

Purchase of Securities.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby agrees to acquire, and the Company agrees to sell one or more Notes in the face amount set forth on the Execution Pages hereto, and Purchaser agrees to pay the purchase price set forth on the Execution Pages hereto (the “Purchase Price”).

d.

Securities. The Note, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, and the Commitment Shares may be referred to herein as the “Securities.”

 

2.

Acceptance; Revocability. This Agreement is irrevocable by Purchaser upon its execution and tender to the Company. Upon acceptance by execution of this Agreement by the Company, which date shall constitute the closing date (the “Closing Date”) for the Purchaser, the Company may not thereafter revoke this Agreement.

 

3.

Use and Disposition of Proceeds. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if the Company accepts the Agreement, there shall be no escrow of the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser, and the Company shall be entitled to use the Purchase Price funds upon their receipt by the Company, and that such funds shall be used by the Company according to the Company’s management’s discretion. The Purchaser acknowledges that there is no minimum subscription amount which the Company must receive prior to any subscription funds becoming available to the Company.

 

4.

Automatic Conversion into Crossover Round. The Parties hereto understand, acknowledge, and agree that the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchaser is predicated and conditioned on the Purchaser’s agreement to participate in the Company’s upcoming crossover financing round (the “Crossover Financing”). By signing below, the Purchaser agrees that the face amount of the Note will be automatically converted into or exchanged for the securities issued by the Company in the Crossover Round, and that the Purchaser agrees to and will be subject to all terms and conditions of the Crossover Round.

5.

Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. To induce the Company’s acceptance of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company and its agents and attorneys as follows:

 

a.

Accredited Status. The Purchaser, by signing this Agreement, hereby represents and warrants that the Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, because the Purchaser meets the requirements set forth in one or more of the enumerated categories.

 

b.

Liquidity. Purchaser presently has sufficient liquid assets to pay the Purchase Price. Purchaser’s overall commitments to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Purchaser’s total assets, and Purchaser’s investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Company or for a source of income from the Company. Purchaser is capable of bearing the economic risk and the burden of the investment contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the possibility of the complete loss of the value of the Notes and the limited transferability of the Notes, which may make the liquidation of the Notes impossible in the near future.

 

c.

Organization, Standing, Authorization. If a corporation, limited liability company, or other entity, Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its State of organization, and has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, acquire the Securities, and execute and deliver any documents or instruments in connection with this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and all other documents and instruments executed by Purchaser in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all required action of Purchaser’s members or managers. The person executing, on Purchaser’s behalf, this Agreement and any other documents or instruments executed by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement is duly authorized to do so.

 

d.

Absence of Conflicts. Purchaser represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other document or instrument executed in connection with this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and compliance with the requirements thereof, will not violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on Purchaser, or the provision of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which Purchaser is a party or are subject, or by which Purchaser or any of its properties is bound, or conflict with or constitute a material default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement, or constitute a breach of any fiduciary duty owed by either Purchaser to any third party, or require the approval of any third-party pursuant to any material contract, agreement, instrument, relationship or legal obligation to which Purchaser is subject or to which any of its properties, operations or management may be subject.

Purchaser further acknowledges it has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company’s representatives, and that any decision not to ask questions of the Company’s representatives was a conscious decision on Purchaser’s part and reflects Purchaser’s belief that no additional information is necessary in order to make an informed decision about investing in the Company. Purchaser further acknowledges that it understands that the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
