(iv) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, either alone or in connection with any other event, will (i) accelerate the timing of vesting, funding or payment, or give rise to any payment or increase the amount or value, of any compensation or benefits to any current or former director, officer, employee or other individual service provider of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or under the Plan, (ii) directly or indirectly cause any of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to transfer or set aside any assets to fund any benefits under the Plan or limit or restrict the right to merge, amend, terminate or transfer the assets of the Plan on or following the Closing, or (iii) give rise to payments or benefits (whether in cash, property or the vesting of property) that would be nondeductible to the payor under Section 280G of the Code or that would result in an excise Tax on any recipient under Section 4999 of the Code.

(v) Other than the securities or “Blue Sky” Laws of the various states, the filing of the Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, no notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or arbitral body or authority or instrumentality, whether federal, state, local or foreign, and any applicable industry self-regulatory organization (each, a “Governmental Entity”), nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting period, is necessary for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(d) Sale of Securities. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in Section 2.2, the issuance and sale of the Stock Consideration to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any person acting on its behalf, has taken nor will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor to the Knowledge of the Company any other Person authorized by the Company to act on its behalf, has engaged in a general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) of investors with respect to offers or sales of the Stock Consideration and neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Person acting on its behalf has made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security,

under circumstances that would cause the offering or issuance of Stock Consideration under this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would result in none of Regulation D or any other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act to be available, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the offering or issuance of the Stock Consideration under this Agreement to be integrated with other offerings.

(e) Status of Securities. The shares of Stock Consideration have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. When issued against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided in this Agreement, such Stock Consideration will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability, will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchaser good and marketable title to all such securities, be free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, the Certificate and any applicable state or foreign securities Laws. The respective rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock are as stated in the Articles of Incorporation (including the Certificate) or as otherwise provided by the mandatory provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Nevada Act”).

(f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements.

(i) The Company has filed all required reports, proxy statements, forms, and other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since December 31, 2018 (collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Each of the SEC Documents, as of its respective date complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Documents, and, except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed SEC Document filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ii) The Company (A) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, including its principal executive officers and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure to be made and for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC, (B) has ensured such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established to the extent required by Rule 13a- 15 of the Exchange Act and (C) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors (I) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under

the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (II) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

(iii) The financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries contained or incorporated by reference in the SEC Documents (including the related notes and supporting schedule) (A) complied as to form in all material respects in with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, in each case as of the date such SEC Document was filed, (B) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or as permitted by Regulation S-X) and (C) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal recurring audit adjustments).

Section 5.15 Specific Performance.

(f) by notice given by the Purchaser to the Company, if the Purchaser is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and if there have been one or more material inaccuracies in or material breaches of one or more representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement such that the conditions in Section 1.3(b)(i) or 1.3(b)(ii) would not be satisfied by the Outside Date (other than through the Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and which have not been cured by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of written notice from the Purchaser requesting such inaccuracies or breaches to be cured (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Purchaser provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Outside Date).

Subject to Sections 3.3 and 5.2, in the event of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.16, no Party (or any of its Affiliates) shall have any liability or obligation to the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) under or in respect of this Agreement, except to the extent of (A) any liability arising from any breach by such Party of its obligations of this Agreement arising prior to such termination and (B) any fraud or intentional or willful breach of this Agreement. In the event of any such termination, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by the Parties, in each case, except (x) as set forth in the preceding sentence and (y) that the provisions of Section 3.3 and this Article V shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. None of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement from and after the time that such representation or warranty ceases to survive hereunder.
