The Investor and each Account has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that the Investor and each Account is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Notes Transactions and an investment in the Notes. With the assistance of its own professional advisors (to the extent the Investor and each Account has deemed appropriate), the Investor and each Account has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and the consequences of the Notes Transactions and this Agreement. The Investor and each Account has considered the suitability of the Notes as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition, and the Investor is and each Account able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the Notes.

The Investor confirms that neither it nor any Account is relying on any communication (written or oral) of the Company or the Placement Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates as investment advice or as a recommendation to participate in the Notes Transactions and receive the Notes pursuant to the terms hereof. It is understood that information provided in the Transaction Documents, or by the Company or the Placement Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates, shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation with respect to the Notes Transactions, and that none of the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to the Investor or any Account in deciding whether to participate in the Notes Transactions.

The Investor confirms, for itself and for each Account, that neither the Company nor the Placement Agent has (1) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Notes; or (2) made any representation to the Investor regarding the legality of an investment in the Notes under applicable investment guidelines, laws or regulations. In deciding to participate in the Notes Transactions, neither the Investor nor any Account is relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company or the Placement Agent, and the Investor and each Account has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Notes is suitable and appropriate for the Investor or such Account.

The Investor and each Account is a sophisticated participant in the transactions contemplated hereby and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, is experienced in investing in capital markets and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes. The Investor and each Account is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and has conducted its own investigation of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Notes and has consulted with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Investor and each Account has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its representatives and has received answers thereto as the Investor or such Account deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Notes Transactions and the Notes.

The Investor and each Account understands that no federal, state, local or foreign agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Notes or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of such investment.

The Investor and each Account is an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act as well as a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Account, agrees to furnish any additional information reasonably requested by the Company or any of their affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the Notes Transactions.

The Investor and each Account is acquiring the Notes solely for the Investor’s or such Account’s own beneficial account, or for an account with respect to which the Investor or such Account exercises sole investment discretion, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Notes. The Investor and each Account understands that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof that depend in part upon the investment intent of the Investor or each Account and the accuracy of the other representations made by the Investor and each Account in this Agreement.

The Investor and each Account understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether the Investor’s and such Account’s participation in the Notes Transactions meets the requirements for the exemptions referenced in clause (n) above. In addition, the Investor and each Account acknowledges and agrees that any hedging transactions engaged in by the Investor or such Account after the confidential information (as described in the confirmatory email received by the Investor from the Placement Agent) was made available to the Investor and prior to the Closing in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes have been and will be conducted in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Investor and each Account acknowledges that neither the Notes nor the Underlying Shares have been registered under the Securities Act. As a result, the Notes, and if converted to Underlying Shares, the Underlying Shares, may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act as described in the Indenture (including, but not limited to, Section 2.10 thereof), and the Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Account, hereby agrees that neither it nor any Account will sell the Notes nor the Underlying Shares other than in compliance with such transfer restrictions. Further, the Investor and each Account acknowledges that the Notes will be issued pursuant to a restricted CUSIP number and that the Notes and, if converted to Underlying Shares, the Underlying Shares, will bear the restrictive legends set forth in the Indenture.

The Investor was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Notes Transactions on behalf of itself and each Account.

The Investor and each Account acknowledges the Company intends to pay an advisory fee to the Placement Agent.

The Investor will, for itself and on behalf of each Account, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents, information or certifications reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee to complete the Notes Transactions.

The Investor and each Account understands that, unless the Investor notifies the Company in writing to the contrary before the Closing, each of the Investor’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will be deemed to have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of the Closing, taking into account all information received by the Investor.

No Subscriber’s participation in the Notes Transactions was conditioned upon a minimum aggregate principal amount of Notes issued for cash in the Subscription.

The Investor acknowledges that it and each Account had a sufficient amount of time to consider whether to participate in the Notes Transactions and that neither the Company nor the Placement Agent has placed any pressure on the Investor or any Account to respond to the opportunity to participate in the Notes Transactions. The Investor acknowledges that neither it nor any Account became aware of the Notes Transactions through any form of general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act.
