of up to $1,200,000 (if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the “Over-allotment Purchase Price”).

(ii)           The
Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and
the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.
