and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized
to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and

Security Agreement and any other related documentation (collectively, the ''Loan Documents'') and to carry out and perform

Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents by the Company and the performance of the Company's obligations thereunder has been properly taken. The

registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities
laws.


 


6.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS


 


6.1
Acceptance by the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser's Loan Amount may be accepted or rejected, in whole
or in part, by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company shall have no obligation to sell a Note to the Purchaser unless

Loan Amount.


 






    2


     


    

 


6.2
Purchase for Own Account. Each Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Notes solely for such Purchaser's own account
and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Notes or any part thereof, has no
present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention. Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that none of the Notes are registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the
offering and sale of the Notes is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Rule 506 of Regulation
D as promulgated by the Commission thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser
contained in this Agreement and neither the Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved
the Notes or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes;


 


6.3
Information and Sophistication. Each Purchaser hereby: (i) acknowledges that such Purchaser has received and carefully reviewed
all the information such Purchaser has requested from the Company and considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether
to acquire the Notes, including the Commission Filings, (ii) represents that such Purchaser's representatives and advisors have
had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of
the Notes and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information given such Purchaser, (iii)
represents that such Purchaser is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by
any person, including, except for representations contained in this Agreement and statements expressly authorized by the Company
to be made to such Purchaser under an obligation of confidentiality on the part of such Purchaser, and (iv) further represents
that such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating
the merits and risk of this investment.


 


6.4
Ability to Bear Economic Risk. Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk,
and represents that such Purchaser is able, without materially impairing such Purchaser's financial condition, to hold the Notes
for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Purchaser's investment.


 


6.5
Accredited Investor Status. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that such Purchaser is an ''accredited investor'' as such
term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act as of the Effective Date.


 


6.6
General Solicitation. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser is not purchasing any Notes as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Notes published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.


 


6.7
Termination of Commission Registration; Unavailability of Rule 144. Each Purchaser acknowledges and understands that as
a former ''shell company'' as such term is defined in Rule l2b-2 under the Securities Act, the Company is subject to the
provisions of Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act, which provides that Rule 144 is only available for the resale of
securities of an issuer that is or has previously been a shell company if (1) the issuer is subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (2) has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed
by section 13 or 15( d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months ( or for such shorter period that
the issuer was required to file such reports and materials); (3) and one year has elapsed since the Company has filed current
''Form  10 information'' with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer a shell company. The
Company has not filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 14 or 15( d) of the Exchange Act during
the preceding 12 months and, as a result, the Purchasers may not rely on Rule 144 for resales of the Company's securities
including, the Notes or the Company's equity securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Purchaser acknowledges and
understands that Rule 144 will not be available to the Purchaser until such time as the Company all reports required to be
filed with the Commission for the preceding 12 months. The Company does not currently intend to file any such reports with
the Commission and there are no assurances that the Company will do so in the future.
