that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from
the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment
intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor understands that the Securities

or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Investor acknowledges that the Company
has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from
registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time
and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the
Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Investor understands
that this offering is not intended to be part of the public offering, and that the Investor will not be able to rely on the protection
of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

jurisdiction of the state or federal courts sitting in or for Delaware County, Pennsylvania, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded
from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable
in accordance with its terms so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s)
in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical
realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close
as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
