REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER

 Section 3.2 Power and Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms. The Buyer has full entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The Buyer
has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by, and is enforceable against, the Buyer. 
 Section 3.3 Investment Representations. 

(a) The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

(b) The Buyer has received, has thoroughly read, is familiar with and understands the contents of this Agreement. 

(c) The Buyer hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. The Buyer acknowledges that there is a
substantial risk that it will lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable of bearing the risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for
the foreseeable future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Buyer understands that there presently is no public market for the Shares and none is anticipated to develop in the foreseeable future. The
Buyer’s present financial condition is such that the Buyer is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares subscribed for hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness.
The Buyer’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. 

(d) The Buyer acknowledges that the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and
are being sold on the basis of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts, except those state securities acts that require registration of the Shares thereunder. Reliance on such exemptions, where
applicable, is predicated in part on the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth herein. The Buyer acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Buyer either
registers the Shares in accordance with federal and state securities laws or finds and complies with an available exemption under such laws. Accordingly, the Buyer hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate
its investment in the Company. 
 (e) There are substantial risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Company. The Buyer acknowledges
that it has read the information set forth above regarding certain of such risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks, including, without limitation, risks arising from the fact that the Company is an entity with limited
operating history and financial resources; and the Buyer is fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof. 

  
 4 








 (f) The Buyer has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers
from the Company and its designated representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, the Company and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Company possesses
or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to assist the Buyer in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer further represents and warrants that, prior to
signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received such answers and obtained such information as it has deemed necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The
Buyer is not relying on any oral representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects. 

(g) The Buyer understands that no federal, state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination
relating to the merits of an investment in the Company.

 Section 5.6
Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

Section 5.7 Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties
