Issuer hereby offers to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes (the "Convertible Notes") set forth in the relevant purchase order, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

2.3. Conversion Rights
At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Purchaser shall have the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Convertible Notes into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Issuer ("Common Stock") at the conversion rate in effect on the relevant conversion date (the “Conversion Rate”).
