ARTICLE III


REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE
BUYER


 


The Buyer represents
and warrants that the statements contained in this ARTICLE III are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement.


 


Section 3.1 Organization
and Good Standing. The Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the state of Delaware.


 


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.


 




    	 	3	 



     


    

 


(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.


 


(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 5.11 Construction.
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption
or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law will be deemed also to refer to Law as amended and all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including”
will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless
the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless
expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent
significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact
that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative
levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto
is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.


 


Section 5.12 Waiver.
No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional
or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder
or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.
