The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that no Subscriber makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 4 hereof.
(y)Any Other Subscription Agreement entered into with any Other Subscriber in connection with such Other Subscriber’s direct or indirect investment in the Issuer reflects the same Per Share Purchase Price and substantially the same other material terms and conditions with respect to the purchase of Common Stock that are no more favorable in the aggregate to any other purchaser than the material terms of this Subscription Agreement are to the Subscribers (other than (i) governance and transfer rights granted to the anchor investors as disclosed in the investor presentation shared with Subscribers, (ii) registration rights granted to investors that may be deemed an affiliate of the Issuer, and (iii) terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such investor or its affiliates or related funds that are mutual funds or are otherwise subject to regulations related to the timing of funding and the issuance of the related Common Stock).
(z)It is understood and acknowledged by the Issuer that: (i) none of the Subscribers has been asked by the Issuer to agree, nor has any Subscriber agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Issuer, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Issuer or to hold the Acquired Shares for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Subscriber, specifically including, without limitation, short sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the Closing of this transaction or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Issuer’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) any Subscriber, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Subscriber is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Subscriber shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Issuer further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Subscribers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Acquired Shares are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Issuer at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Issuer acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of this Subscription Agreement. As used herein, “short sales” shall mean all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include locating and/or borrowing shares of Common Stock).
4.Subscriber Representations and Warranties. Each Subscriber, for itself and for no other, represents and warrants to the Issuer that:

The Issuer understands and confirms that the Subscribers shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer.

The Issuer understands and confirms that the Subscribers shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer. To the extent that the Issuer, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to any Subscriber without such Subscriber’s consent, the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that such Subscriber shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Issuer, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, or a duty to the Issuer, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that such Subscriber shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to this Subscription Agreement constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Issuer or any subsidiaries, the Issuer shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Issuer understands and confirms that the Subscribers shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer.
