This Agreement is not a redemption as defined by the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock, but is instead a privately negotiated agreement between the Parties. This transaction is not a tender offer for the purposes of state and U.S. federal securities laws.

The Seller tenders to the Purchaser the associated rights of such Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to, the conversion right, liquidation preference, and all dividends in arrears.

The closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is contingent on the submission and accurate completion of all deliverables noted in this Agreement (i.e., preferred stock certificate, evidence of fiduciary authority as needed, documentation as may be required by Section 3(C) of this Agreement, Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable) (together, the “Deliverables”). The “Closing” or “Closing Date” as used in this Agreement shall be the date upon which:

The Closing Date shall be evidenced by the date set forth on the Common Stock issued pursuant to this transaction and shall occur by or before December 1, 2020 (the “Long Stop Date”), unless this Agreement is earlier terminated or extended as provided in Sections 11 and 22 of this Agreement.

Prior to Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Seller’s original Preferred Stock certificate(s).

It is understood that the method of delivery of the Preferred Stock share certificate(s) and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Seller and that the risk of loss of such Preferred Stock share certificate(s) and other documents shall pass only after the Purchaser has actually received the share certificate(s). In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery. The Purchaser recommends delivery of the Preferred Stock certificate(s) and any other required documentation by overnight carrier.

The delivery to Seller of the Common Stock portion of the Purchase Price will occur following the Seller’s delivery of the Preferred Stock. The new Common Stock will bear the name and address of the Seller as set forth on the Seller Signature Page attached hereto. Seller shall specify whether it desires a physical certificate or book shares.

This is a one-time offer.

The Purchaser urges the Seller to consult its tax advisor to determine its particular local, state, federal, and foreign tax consequences of participating in this transaction.
