All of such outstanding shares are duly authorized and have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.


 


5.             Representations
and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Company as follows:


 


5.1           Organization,

Public Sale or Distribution. The Investor is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, except pursuant to sales

agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the
right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the
Securities Act. The Investor is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not presently

securities laws. Investor is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business
that would require it to be so registered.

5.4           Investment
Experience. Investor acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Shares and

investment contemplated hereby.


 


5.5           Disclosure
of 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 Shares that have been requested by the Investor.
The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The Investor understands
that its investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice
as he has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.


 


5.6           Restricted
Securities. Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that
under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in
certain limited circumstances. The Investor understands that the Shares 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 Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understanding of Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
Investor to acquire such securities.


 


5.7           Legends.
It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:


 


(a)         “THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER
(IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT

required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Shares, the legend required by such state

5.8           No
Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in
the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.


 


5.9           Transfer
or Resale. The Investor understands that: (i) the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered
thereunder, (B) the Investor shall have delivered to the Company (if requested by the Company) an opinion of counsel to the Investor,
in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) the Investor provides the Company with reasonable
assurance that such Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities
Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Shares made in reliance on
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the
Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter
(as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation
to register the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.


 


5.10         Brokers
and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest
or claim against or upon the Company or the Investor for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement

the safety of the investment. The Investor cannot rely on any matter or representation made by the Company or any other
party relating to this investment, and shall be accountable for completing its own analysis and review of the risks, representations
