5.5
Offering. Subject to the truth and accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement,
the offer and sale of the Securities, as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the qualification or registration requirements of state

any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemptions.

its filings of Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K (collectively, the

to state any fact necessary to make any statement therein not misleading. The financial statements included within Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 and for each quarterly period thereafter (the “Financial
Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other, except that unaudited Financial Statements
may not contain all footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Financial Statements fairly present, in

notice of any such violation. The Company is not in violation of the requirements of the Trading Market and has no knowledge of
any facts or circumstances which could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Shares in the foreseeable future.


 


5.8
Acknowledgment Regarding Investor’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Investor
is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby and that such Investor is not (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) an “affiliate”
(as defined in Rule 144) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) to its knowledge, a “beneficial owner”
of more than 10% of the Common Shares (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act). The Company further acknowledges
that such Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar
capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any advice given by such Investor or any
of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental
to such Investor’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to such Investor that the Company’s
decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

6.
Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby represents, warrants and covenants, as to itself
only and not the other Investor, that:


 


6.1
Authorization. The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby. 


 


6.2
No Public Sale or Distribution. The Investor is (i) acquiring its Note in each case for its own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of any part thereof,
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act. The Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. The Investor does not presently have any contract, agreement, undertaking, arrangement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust,
an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof (a “Person”) to
sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise distribute any of the Securities. 


 


6.3
Accredited Investor Status; Investment Experience. The Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. The Investor can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities, and has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Securities.


 


6.4
Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying
in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions
and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities. 


 


6.5
Information. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances
and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the
Investor. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives
shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained
herein. The Investor understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought
such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Securities. The Investor is relying solely on its own accounting, legal and tax advisors, and not on any statements
of the Company or any of its agents or representatives, for such accounting, legal and tax advice with respect to its acquisition
of the Securities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities for general working capital purposes.



 


8.
Indemnification. In consideration of each Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities
hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, the Company shall
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners,
members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims,
losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this
Agreement or the Notes, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in any of this Agreement
or the Notes, or (c) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including
for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee
that arises out of or results from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of this Agreement or the Notes,
(ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance
of the Securities, or (iii) the status of the Investor or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party
in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
