limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational
documents of the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable to the
Company, except in the case of clause (ii) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

5.    
      Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby
represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

5.1           Authorization.
The Investor has the legal capacity, full power and authority and right 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 the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

5.2           No
Public Sale or Distribution. The Investor is acquiring the Securities 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.

 

5.3           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.

 

5.4           Reliance
on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and issued 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

    	 

    

 

5.5           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 issuance 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.

 

5.6           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 Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment
in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

5.7           Transfer
or Resale. The Investor understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act
or any state securities or “blue sky” laws, the Securities constitute “restricted securities” as such
term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act, and the Securities may not be offered for sale, sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged or otherwise distributed unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Investor shall have delivered to the Company
an opinion of counsel, in a form generally acceptable to the Company’s legal counsel, to the effect that such Securities
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 and its legal counsel with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule
144”); (ii) any sale of the Securities 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 Securities 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 1933 Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither
the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

 

5.8           Legends.
The Investor understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Exchanged Warrants and the Warrant Shares,
except as set forth below, shall bear any legends as required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws in

cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable
