Section 2.4.          Restrictive
Legend Holder acknowledges that the Common Stock and Preferred Stock to be issued by Issuer to Holder hereunder has not been
registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Issuer. Holder acknowledges that
the certificate representing the Common Stock and Preferred Stock to be issued by Issuer to Holder hereunder will bear the following
legend:


 


THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION UNDER SAID
ACT IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO ISSUER.


 


Section 2.5.          Accredited
Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act.


 


Section 2.6.          No
General Solicitation. Holder is unaware of, and in deciding to acquire the Shares is in no way relying upon, and did not become
aware of the conversion of the Notes through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including,

Section 2.9.          Investment
Risk. Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies
similar to Issuer so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Issuer. Holder acknowledges that
an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk as Issuer remains in the early stage of its development, having only
recently commenced the operations of its various business units. Thus, Issuer and its subsidiaries have only a very brief history
of operations, and it is uncertain how these business units will operate on a combined basis and whether these various business
units can be operated at a profit. Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Shares are
sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (ii) an exemption from registration is available
with respect to such sale.


 


Section 2.10.         Access
to Information. In making its decision to acquire the Shares, Holder confirms that it has carefully reviewed all information
regarding Issuer as it has deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the
Shares; that it has had the opportunity to ask representatives of Issuer certain questions and request certain additional information
regarding the terms and conditions of such investment and the finances, operations, business and prospects of Issuer and has had
any and all such questions and requests answered to its satisfaction; and that it understands the risks and other considerations
relating to such investment. Holder specifically acknowledges that it has been provided with and reviewed to its satisfaction,
information regarding Issuer’s finances, management team, capitalization, material acquisitions, description of outstanding
securities, plan of operations, material business risks and the like.
