 Representation and Warranties of the Purchaser 
 As a material inducement to the

 3.2 No Registration. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any other applicable blue sky or state securities law, on the grounds that
the sale of the Shares from Seller to Purchaser contemplated by this Agreement is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the regulations thereunder and are exempt from qualification pursuant to comparable
available exceptions in various states, and that the Seller’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated upon Purchaser’s representations set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Shares (including the

Company; (e) has not been offered the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast

this Agreement.

pursuant to Rule 15c2 11 thereunder, or (iv) if a registration statement covering the Shares (or a filing pursuant to the exemption from registration under Regulation A of the Securities Act covering the Shares) under the Securities Act is in
effect when Purchaser desires to sell Shares, Purchaser may be required to hold the Shares for an indeterminate period. Purchaser also understands that any sale of the Shares that might be made by Purchaser in reliance upon Rule 144 or Rule 144A
under the Securities Act may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of those rules. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that all certificates representing the Shares (as well as the common stock into which the
Preferred Shares may be converted), shall bear the following legend (and any other legend that may be required under any Federal or state securities law), until such Shares are registered under the securities Act, exchanged for securities registered
under the securities Act, or until the holder of the Shares delivers an opinion of its legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such legend is no longer necessary. 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 NOR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, SUCH QUALIFICATION AND REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. ANY TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS FURTHER SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHICH ARE SET FORTH HEREIN.” 

3.7 Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
