1.3 Each Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) such Subscriber may not be able to liquidate such Subscriber’s investment in the Securities; (iii) transferability of the Securities may be extremely limited or restricted by applicable law; (iv) in the event of a future disposition of the Securities, such Subscriber could sustain the loss of such Subscriber’s entire investment; and (v) each of the other risks set forth in or incorporated by reference into the “Risk Factors” section(s) of the Company’s periodic and other filings with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Each Subscriber hereby severally, and not jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Company that such Subscriber’s responses to the investor questionnaire attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Purchaser Questionnaire”) are true, correct and complete in all respects.

1.5 Each Subscriber hereby severally, and not jointly and severally, acknowledges, represents and warrants that (i) such Subscriber has adequate means of providing for such Subscriber’s current financial needs and contingencies; (ii) such Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, or employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read and review all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to such Subscriber, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities on such Subscriber’s behalf; (iii) such Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that such Subscriber assumes by investing in the Securities; and (iv) such Subscriber can afford a complete loss of such Subscriber’s investment in the Securities.

1.6 Each Subscriber hereby (i) acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and has had access to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, and the other periodic, current and other reports filed or furnished by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, as publicly filed and available on the website of the SEC and (ii) hereby severally, and not jointly and severally, represents that such Subscriber has been furnished by the Company with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that such Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.

1.7 (a) In making the decision to invest in the Securities, each Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Credit Agreement for the Second Lien Term Loans (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). To the extent necessary, each Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Securities hereunder. Each Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of such Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Securities other than this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the results of such Subscriber’s own independent investigation.

Each Subscriber hereby severally, and not jointly and severally, represents that such Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for such Subscriber’s own account for investment purposes and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.

Each Subscriber is aware that the Company will make or cause to be made a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transfer and ownership of such Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ONLY PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subscriber, enforceable against such Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

1.11 If such Subscriber is a corporation, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, trust (whether statutory or common law), other legal entity, association, organization, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of it has been duly authorized by it to do so.

1.12 The execution and delivery by each Subscriber of this Agreement and the performance by such Subscriber of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein by such Subscriber do not and will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of (i) with respect to any Subscriber that is not a natural person, any provision of such Subscriber’s organizational documents, or (ii) any applicable law or regulation, in each case, that would materially impair such Subscriber’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

1.13 Each Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a Registered Representative of a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member firm, such Subscriber must give such firm the notice required by the FINRA’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in such Subscriber’s Purchaser Questionnaire.

1.15 Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) certain information made available to such Subscriber by the Company in connection with the Offering is confidential and non-public and (ii) all such information shall be kept in confidence by such Subscriber and neither used by such Subscriber for such Subscriber’s personal benefit (other than in connection with this Agreement) nor disclosed to any third party for any reason; provided, however, that (x) such Subscriber may disclose such information to its affiliates, investment advisers and investment managers, and its and their direct or indirect shareholders, partners or members, current and prospective financing sources, existing and prospective investors, employees, directors, officers, legal counsel, independent auditors, professionals, advisors and other experts or agents of such Subscriber or its affiliates who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential (provided further that such Subscriber shall be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein by any of its affiliates or advisors), (y) such Subscriber may disclose such information as may be required pursuant to law, rule, regulation, legal process or requested by a regulatory or self-regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Subscriber or its representatives or their respective affiliates, and (z) this obligation shall not apply to any such information that (i) is public knowledge and readily accessible at the date hereof, (ii) becomes public knowledge and readily accessible by publication (except as a result of a breach of this provision) after the date hereof or (iii) is received from a third party that is not under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.

Each Subscriber agrees to promptly supply the Company with such additional information concerning such Subscriber as the Company deems necessary or advisable for purposes of making such determination.
