Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.3, the closing shall occur at the offices of the Company on August 11, 2021, or at such other place or on such other date as the parties shall mutually agree, but in no event later than the second (2nd) Trading Day (as defined below in Section 3.3) following the date hereof (or, if this Agreement is executed after 4:30 p.m. New York City time, the third (3rd) Trading Day) (the “Closing”). The Pre-Funded Warrants together with the Standard Warrants are referred to herein as the Warrants.

The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by the Company makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or that certain Escrow Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Placement Agent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agreement,” and together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”), (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the Company, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under the Transaction Agreements (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

 

 

 

(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company in connection therewith. Each of the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d) Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants, other than (i) the filing with the SEC of a Form 8-K and prospectus supplement relating to the offer and sale of the Units pursuant to the Registration Statement, and applicable Blue Sky filings, if any, and (ii) such as have already been obtained.

 

(e) Capitalization. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are, and all of the Shares, when issued, will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of all liens created by the Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized, and if and when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor as provided by the Warrants, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of all liens created by the Company. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were, the Shares will be, and the Warrant Shares (if and when issued) will be, issued in material compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, including available exemptions therefrom, and none of such issuances were, and the issuance of the Shares and the Warrant Shares will not be, made in violation of any pre-emptive or other rights. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants. The issuance of the Shares and the Warrant Shares will not trigger any anti-dilution rights of any existing securities of the Company.

 

(f) Registration Statement. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or threatened by the SEC; and any request on the part of the SEC for additional information has been complied with.

 

 

 

 

(g) Securities Law Disclosure. The Company shall (i) by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on August 9, 2021, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on August 10, 2021, file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including this Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement and the form of Warrant as exhibits thereto, with the SEC.

In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates on the one hand, and the Purchaser or any of its affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may rely on the representations and warranties made to the Placement Agent contained in Section 1 of the Placement Agency Agreement, and that the representations contained in this Section 2.1 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in the Placement Agency Agreement or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

2.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing to the Company as follows:

 

(a) Organization; Authority. If Purchaser is not a natural person, such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate, limited liability or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of Purchaser. The Transaction Agreements to which it is a party have been duly executed by Purchaser, and when delivered by Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

(b) Information; Confidentiality. Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all publicly available materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and such other publicly available materials relating to the offer and sale of the Units as have been requested by Purchaser. Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Purchaser understands that its investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk. Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Units.

 

(c) No Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.

 

(d) Sales; Short Selling. From and after the date Purchaser received any information about the existence of this offering, Purchaser has not offered, pledged, sold, contracted to sell, sold any option or contract to purchase, purchased any option or contract to sell, granted any option, right or warrant to purchase, loaned, or otherwise transferred or disposed of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, entered into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, or directly or indirectly, through related parties, affiliates or otherwise sold “short” or “short against the box” (as those terms are generally understood, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the locating and/or borrowing of shares of Common Stock shall not be included in this Section 2.2(d)) any equity security of the Company. Purchaser covenants that it will not, nor will it authorize or permit any person acting on its behalf to, engage in any such transactions until following the public disclosure of the transaction as contemplated by Section 2.1(g).

 

 

 

 

(e) Information Regarding Purchaser. Purchaser has provided the Company with true, complete, and correct information regarding all applicable items set forth on Purchaser’s signature page to this Agreement.

 

(f) Placement Agent as Beneficiary. Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or given by the Purchaser to the Company herein, are also irrevocably made and given for the benefit of the Placement Agent and that the Placement Agent is entitled to rely on the same in connection with the placement of the Units as if such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agent.

 

(g) Non-Reliance on Placement Agent. Purchaser understands that the Placement Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement of the Units and not to the Purchaser. Purchaser further acknowledges that (i) the Placement Agent, its affiliates, and their respective representatives make no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of the offering of the Units or as to the completeness or accuracy of any information or materials such Purchaser may have received in connection therewith, and Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on any information, representations or advice furnished by or on behalf of any of the Placement Agent, its affiliates or their respective representatives, orally or in writing, in making a decision to purchase the Units, (ii) it will be responsible for conducting its own due diligence investigation with respect to the Company and the offer and sale of the Units, (iii) it will be purchasing Units based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company and (iv) it has negotiated the offer and sale of the Units directly with the Company, and the Placement Agent will not be responsible for the ultimate success of any such investment.

 

(h) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof is, either (i) an institutional investor as such term is used in Section 5542(b)(8) of the Uniform Securities Act of 2002 or (ii) a resident of the State of California who, by reason of his or her business or financial experience has the capacity to protect his or her own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and such Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for his or her own account (or a trust account if the Purchaser is a trustee) and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the distribution of the Securities.
