SECTION 2.03.                                   Title to the Exchanged Notes.  Each Holder is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Exchanged Notes set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto (or, if there are no Accounts, the Undersigned is the sole legal and beneficial owner of all of the Exchanged Notes).  Each Holder has good, valid and marketable title to its Exchanged Notes, free and clear of any Liens (other than pledges or security interests that the Holder may have created in favor of a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker).  No Holder has, in whole or in part, except as described in the preceding sentence, (a) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its rights, title or interest in or to its Exchanged Notes, or (b) given any person or entity (other than the Undersigned) any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to its Exchanged Notes.  Upon the Holder’s delivery of its Exchanged Notes to the Company pursuant to the Exchange, such Exchanged Notes shall be free and clear of all Liens.

SECTION 2.07.                                   Adequate Information; No Reliance.  The Undersigned is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) acting on behalf of itself and of Holders who are its investment advisory clients.  The Undersigned acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and each Holder that (a) the Undersigned has been furnished with all materials it considers relevant to making an investment decision to enter into the Exchange and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings and submissions with the SEC, including, without limitation, all information filed or furnished pursuant to the Exchange Act, (b) the Undersigned has had a full opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the Company, its businesses, operations, financial performances, financial conditions and prospects, and the terms and conditions of the Exchange, (c) the Undersigned has had the opportunity to consult with its accounting, tax, financial and legal advisors to be able to evaluate the risks and consequences (including any potential original issue discount on the New Notes) involved in the Exchange and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such Exchange, (d) neither the Company nor JMP is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor to the Undersigned or any Holder and (e) neither the Undersigned nor any Holder is relying, and none of them has relied, upon any statement, advice (whether accounting, tax, financial, legal or other), representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives including, without limitation, JMP, except for (i) the publicly available filings and submissions made by the Company with the SEC under the Exchange Act and (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.08.                                   No Public Market; Adjustment to Existing Warrants.  The Undersigned acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and each Holder that no public market exists for the New Notes and that there is no assurance that a public market will ever develop for the New Notes.  The Undersigned acknowledges on behalf of itself and each Holder that the exercise price in respect of the Company’s existing warrants issued on July 11, 2017 will be reduced in accordance with the terms of such warrants as a result of the issuance of the New Notes.

 

SECTION 2.09.                                   Risk Factors.  The Undersigned, on behalf of itself and the other Holders, acknowledges receipt of the Risk Factors attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The Undersigned and each Holder have read and understand the Risk Factors attached hereto as

SECTION 3.03.                                   Validity of the Holders’ New Notes.  The Holders’ New Notes and the Upfront Warrant have been duly authorized by the Company and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to the applicable Holder pursuant to the Exchange against delivery of the Exchanged Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Holders’ New Notes and the Upfront Warrant will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, and the Holders’ New Notes and the Warrant will not be subject to any preemptive, participation, rights of first refusal or other similar rights (other than any such rights that will be waived prior to Closing).  Assuming the accuracy of each Holder’s representations and warranties hereunder, the Holders’ New Notes and the Upfront Warrant (a) will be issued in the Exchange exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and it will not be necessary to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (b) will, at the Closing, be free of any restrictions on resale by such Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and (c) will be issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of the Holders’ New Notes and the Upfront Warrant.  For the purposes of Rule 144, the Company acknowledges that, assuming the accuracy of each Holder’s representations and warranties hereunder, the holding period of the New Notes and the Upfront Warrant may be “tacked” onto the holding period of the Exchanged Notes as contemplated by Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary thereto.

SECTION 3.06.                                   Disclosure.  On or before 9:30 a.m. eastern standard time on the business day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue a publicly available press release or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the Exchange.  Without the prior written consent of the Undersigned, none of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective controlled Affiliates shall disclose the name of the Undersigned or any Holder in any filing or announcement, unless such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process.

SECTION 3.07.                                   No Litigation.  There is no action, lawsuit, arbitration, claim or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company and the Guarantors, threatened, against the Company or the Guarantors that would reasonably be expected to impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

SECTION 3.08.                                   Stockholder Approval.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Description of Notes) no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of the Indenture.
