4.
Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, Subscriber, hereby represents
and warrants to the Company that:


 


4.1
Authorization. This Agreement constitutes Subscriber’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as it may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies. Subscriber represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.


 


4.2
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Subscriber acknowledges that this Agreement is made with Subscriber in reliance upon Subscriber’s
representation to the Company that the Note(s) and Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) will
be acquired for investment for Subscriber’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution
of any part thereof, and that Subscriber has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Agreement, Subscriber further represents that Subscriber does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Securities.


 


4.3
Disclosure of Information. Subscriber acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate
for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. Subscriber further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company and its representatives regarding the Company and its business and prospects. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that the only representations and warranties made by the Company to Subscriber are those made expressly in writing in Subscriber’s
Note, and that Subscriber is not relying on any other representations, warranties or promises in connection with the investment contemplated
herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber’s decision to enter into this Agreement is made
in reliance solely upon its own judgment together with the advice of those advisors retained by Subscriber, if any.

4.4
Investment Experience. Subscriber is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it
is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Without limiting anything in this
Section 4, Subscriber acknowledges that materials and information that may have been presented by the Company and its representatives
may have included forward-looking statements, such as financial projections, business prospects and other such information, and that
such information may not be accurate. Subscriber acknowledges that the forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results or outcome to be materially different from those anticipated
and that may have been presented to Subscriber. Such risks include the Company’s nascent stage, customer acceptance and actual
demand, which may differ significantly from expectations, the need for the Company to manage its growth, the need to raise funds for
operations and other risks within the Company’s industry. Market trends and external developments are subject to change beyond
the control of the Company and could materially adversely affect future results, business and operations. Subscriber has adequate means
of providing for its current needs, personal and family contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in the investment contemplated hereby.
Subscriber is familiar with the nature and extent of the risks inherent in investments in unregistered securities and has determined,
either personally or in consultation with Subscriber’s purchaser representative or attorney, that an investment in the Company
is consistent with Subscriber’s investment objectives and income prospects. Subscriber understands that the Company has incurred
losses to date; that the Company may need to obtain additional capital through debt and/or equity financing to implement its business
plan; and that there can be no assurance that such financing will be obtained or will be obtained on terms that are acceptable to the
Company. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate profitably in
the future. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Company has not paid any distributions on its equity since its inception
and, by reason of its present financial status and its contemplated financial requirements, does not contemplate or anticipate paying
any distributions upon its equity in the foreseeable future.


 


4.5
Accredited Investor. Subscriber is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as presently in effect.


 


4.6
Restricted Securities. Subscriber understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and
that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain
limited circumstances.


 


5.
Limitations on Disposition. Subscriber’s rights under this Agreement and/or any of the Notes shall not be transferable without
prior written consent from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent shall not be required for the transfer of this Note
to an Affiliate of Subscriber, provided that notice of such transfer is provided to the Company and such Affiliate agrees to be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note(s) being transferred on the same basis as applicable to the transferring
Subscriber.

COMPANY
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


Representations
and Warranties of the Company. In connection with that certain Note Purchase Agreement (January 2019) to which this Schedule 9.12
is attached and incorporated into (this “Agreement”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Subscriber that,
except as set forth on the disclosure schedule attached hereto, the following representations are true and complete (Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined in this Schedule 9.12 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement.):


 


1.1.
Organization, Good Standing, Organizational Power and Qualification. The Company is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite organizational power and authority to carry on its
business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted and enter into the transactions contemplated herein. The Company is duly
qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business except for those jurisdictions
in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.


 


1.2.
Authorization. All organizational action on the part of the Company, its stockholders, directors and officers, necessary for the
authorization of this Agreement, the Notes and all documents executed in connection therewith, including the reservation of the equity
securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes (collectively, “Transaction Documents”) and the execution, delivery
and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents, including the issuance and delivery of the Notes and
the reservation of the equity securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes (collectively, the “Conversion Securities”)
will be taken prior to the issuance of such Conversion Securities. The Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered by the Company,
shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and
state securities laws. The Conversion Securities, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal
and securities laws.


 


1.3.
Capitalization.


 


(a)
All of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company have been duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable and was issued
in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.


 


(b)
Other than as set forth in Schedule 1.3, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive
rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights) or agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from the Company any
shares of common stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock of the Company.


 


1.4.
Governmental Consents and Filings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Subscriber in Section 4 of
this Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with,
any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with the valid execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes
or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby.


 




    	S-4



     


    

 


1.5.
Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or
restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business
or the ownership of its properties, which violation would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial
condition or operations of the Company.


 


1.6.
Compliance with Other Instruments. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation or default of any term of its Certificate
of Incorporation, Bylaws, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound
or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, other than such violations that would not individually or in the aggregate have a material
adverse effect on the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without
the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an
event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations
or any of its assets or properties.


 


1.7.
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in Section 4 of this
Agreement, the offer, issue, and sale of the Notes and the Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”)
are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification
requirements of all applicable state securities laws.


 


1.8.
Litigation. There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge or investigation pending or to the Company’s
knowledge, currently threatened in writing against the Company or any stockholder, director, officer or key employee of the Company arising
out of their employment or board relationship with the Company. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its
stockholders, directors, officers or key employees is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction,
judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.


 


1.9.
Property. The property and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and
encumbrances, except for statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that
arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets.
With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid
leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances other than those of the lessors of such property or assets. The Company
does not own any real property.


 


1.10.
Material Liabilities. The Company has no liability or obligation, absolute or contingent (individually or in the aggregate), except
obligations and liabilities already listed in its financial statements.


 


1.11.
Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect insurance policies with extended coverage, sufficient in amount (subject to
reasonable deductions) to allow it to replace any of its properties that might be damaged or destroyed.


 


1.12.
Permits. The Company has all permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business, the lack of
which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is not in default in any material respect
under any of such permits, licenses or other similar authority.
