ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER

 

The Buyer represents
and warrants that the statements contained in this ARTICLE III are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.1 Organization
and Good Standing. The Buyer is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
state of Delaware.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

Section 3.2 Power
and Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable
against the Buyer in accordance with its terms. The Buyer has full entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to perform its obligations hereunder. The Buyer has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is enforceable against, the Buyer.

 

Section 3.3 Investment
Representations.

 

(a) The Buyer
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

(b) The Buyer
has received, has thoroughly read, is familiar with and understands the contents of this Agreement.

 

(c) The Buyer
hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. The Buyer acknowledges that there is a
substantial risk that it will lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable of bearing the risk of
such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable
future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Buyer understands that there presently is
no public market for the Shares and none is anticipated to develop in the foreseeable future. The Buyer’s present financial
condition is such that the Buyer is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares subscribed
for hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. The Buyer’s overall commitment to investments
which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Company will not cause such
overall commitment to become excessive.

 

(d) The Buyer
acknowledges that the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and
are being sold on the basis of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts, except
those state securities acts that require registration of the Shares thereunder. Reliance on such exemptions, where applicable,
is predicated in part on the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth herein. The Buyer acknowledges
and hereby agrees that the Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Buyer either registers the Shares
in accordance with federal and state securities laws or finds and complies with an available exemption under such laws. Accordingly,
the Buyer hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate its investment in the Company.

 

(e) There are
substantial risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Company. The Buyer acknowledges that it has read the information set
forth above regarding certain of such risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks, including, without limitation,
risks arising from the fact that the Company is an entity with limited operating history and financial resources; and the Buyer
is fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(f) The Buyer
has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its designated representatives
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, the Company and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain
any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to
assist the Buyer in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer further
represents and warrants that, prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received such answers and obtained
such information as it has deemed necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an
investment in the Company. The Buyer is not relying on any oral representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations,
financial condition or prospects.

 

(g) The Buyer
understands that no federal, state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination relating
to the merits of an investment in the Company.

representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty
or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has
not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty,
or covenant.
