Investor: (a) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to,
investments in shares presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Shares, including investments

4.3           (a)  The
Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability
of any rights to indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation
(including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).


 


4.4           The
Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Company Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Offering Information or
any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or
investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors and made such investigation as it, in its
sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Shares.


 


4.5           Since

regarding the Offering to any third parties (other than its legal, accounting and other advisors who are bound by agreements or
duties of confidentiality) and has not engaged in any purchases or sales involving the securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Short Sales (as defined below) involving the Company’s securities).  The Investor covenants that
it will not engage in any purchases or sales involving the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.  The Investor agrees that it will not use
any of the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation
of applicable securities laws.  For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all
“short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or
not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales,

of Representations, Warranties and Agreements; Third Party Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding any investigation made by
any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company

respect to the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor in Section 4 hereof.
