EXHIBIT A


 


Securities Law Representations


 


Accredited Investor Status.
The Consultant hereby represents that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Consultant has initialed below each
of the categories which apply to the Consultant and has furnished to the Client any requested reasonable evidence of the Consultant’s
status as an “accredited investor.” (Please indicate and initial all applicable categories)


 


	_____	a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or a Massachusetts or similar business trust, which was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
	 	 
	_____ 	an entity in which all of the equity owners
are “accredited investors.”1



 


Representations of the Consultant.
The Consultant represents and warrants to the Client as set forth below.


 


a.                  
Restricted Securities. The Consultant understands that the Shares have not been registered pursuant to the Securities
Act, or any state securities act, and thus are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC.
Therefore, under current interpretations and applicable rules, the Consultant must retain the Shares for a minimum period and any
future public resale of the Shares will be possible only if the Client is current in its filings with the SEC under the Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Consultant hereby acknowledges that it is prepared to hold the Shares for an indefinite
period.


 


b.                 
Investment Purpose. The Consultant acknowledges that the Shares are being acquired for its own account, for investment,
and not with the present view towards the distribution, assignment, or resale to others or fractionalization in whole or in part.
The Consultant further acknowledges that no other person has, and the Consultant currently intends that no person will have in
the future, a direct or indirect beneficial or pecuniary interest in the Shares.


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 





 






1 An individual
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D in that (i) he or she had an individual income
in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years or joint income with his or her spouse in excess of $300,000
in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, or (ii) his or
her net worth (i.e., excess of total assets over total liabilities, but excluding the principal residence) is at least $1,000,000.


 


 


 






    	 	7	 



     

    

 





c.                  
Limitations on Resale; Restrictive
Legend. The Consultant acknowledges that it will not sell, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer any rights to, or any interest in, the Shares except (i) pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or
(ii) in any other transaction which, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the Client, is exempt from registration under the
Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. The Consultant also acknowledges that an appropriate legend
will be placed upon each of the certificates representing the Shares stating that the Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale of the Shares.


 


d.                 
Access to Information The Consultant, through the SEC website (www.sec.gov),
has had access to (i) the Client’s 2016 annual report on Form 10-K; (ii) the Client’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017; and (iii) all other reports and documents filed
by the Client with the SEC since the date of the annual report on Form 10-K. The Consultant has relied upon the information contained
therein and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum, or prospectus.


 


e.                  
Opportunity to Ask Questions. The undersigned representative of the Consultant entity has had the opportunity to question and receive answers from the Client concerning the terms and conditions of the proposed
stock transaction and the business of the Client.


 


f.                  
Knowledge and Experience in Business and Financial Matters. The undersigned representative of the Consultant entity has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that he is capable
of evaluating the risks of the prospective investment, and that the financial capacity of the Consultant entity is of such proportion
the total cost of such party’s commitment in the Shares would not be material when compared with its total financial capacity.


 


g.                 
No Advertisements. The Consultant and the Client had a significant preexisting relationship prior to entering into this Agreement and the Consultant did not enter into this Agreement as a result of or subsequent
to any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast
on television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting.
