The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business, assets, results of operation, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or liabilities.

(b) Subsidiaries.

All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors, officers and shareholders necessary for the authorization of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, and the Note, and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder has been duly taken and has not been revoked. This Agreement, the Security Agreement, and the Note, when executed and delivered, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) as limited by general principles of equity.

(d) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company that questions the validity of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, and the Note or the right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company, on its own behalf that as of the Closing:

(a) Organization and Good Standing; Requisite Power and Authority . The Investor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to carry out their respective provisions. All actions on the Investor’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents have been taken and the Investor has its principal place of business at the address set forth on the signature page hereof and has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Note. Upon their execution and delivery, the Transaction Documents will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) as limited by general principles of equity.

(b) Investment Representations. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar federal statute and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time (the “Securities Act”). The Investor also understands that the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon the Investor’s representations contained in this Agreement.

(c) Investor Bears Economic Risk. The Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Investor is aware that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. The Investor is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risk and burdens of this investment, including but not limited to the complete loss of all contributed capital, the lack of a public market and limited transferability of the Note, which may make the liquidation of this investment impossible for the indefinite future. The financial condition of the Investor is such that the Investor is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Securities to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. The Investor understands that the Company has no present intention of registering the Securities. The Investor also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow the Investor to transfer all or any portion of the Securities under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times the Investor might propose.

(d) Information Made Available. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has made available to the Investor and the Investor’s representatives and advisors, if any, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers relating to the Offering, the Securities and the Company and to obtain any additional information the Company possesses or could obtain without unreasonable effort or expense to verify the accuracy of the information furnished to the Investor. The Investor confirms that all documents requested by the Investor have been made available to the Investor’s satisfaction, and that the Investor has been furnished all of the additional information concerning this investment which has been requested. Neither the Company nor any other person has made any representation, warranty or guarantee of any kind, relating to projections or otherwise, with respect to the Company, its business, or its affairs, except as set forth in this Agreement. The Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from authorized persons acting on behalf of the Company to verify the accuracy and completeness of such information. In making a decision to purchase the Securities, the Investor has relied, in part, upon the Companies publicly filed information, including its annual report filed with the OTC markets.

(e) Acquisition for Own Account. The Investor is acquiring the Securities for its own account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Securities. Further, the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

(f) Investor Can Protect Its Interest. The Investor represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, the Investor has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The offer to sell the Securities was directly communicated to the Investor by the Company in such a manner that the Investor was able to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company or a person acting on its behalf concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction. At no time was the Investor presented with or solicited by or through any leaflet, public promotional meeting, television advertisement or any other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection and concurrently with such communicated offer.

(g) Accredited Investor. The Investor is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(h) Restrictions on Transfer. The Investor understands that the Securities may not be sold or transferred, unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act or unless approved by the Company, which approval may be conditioned upon receipt of an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and provided further that any transfer of the Securities in accordance with the foregoing shall be subject to the condition precedent that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and is able to make the representations and warranties contained herein without exception, to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Purchaser hereunder. The Company has no obligation to effect a registration of the Securities for resale by the Investor.

(i) Forward Looking Statements. Investor acknowledges and agrees that, when used in any materials provided by the Company, the words “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements regarding events and financial trends which may affect the Company’s future operating results and financial condition. Such statements, along with any financial projections or projections of operations or results which may have been shown to or discussed with the Investor are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Sectio n 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others, the general economic and business conditions, competition, and unavailability of qualified personnel.

(j) Tax Consequences . The Investor acknowledges that the Company has not made any representation or warranty regarding the tax consequences to the Investor arising from the purchase of the Securities in accordance with this Agreement and that the Company shall in no event be liable to the Investor for any adverse tax liability that may arise as a result of the Investor purchasing the Securities in accordance with this Agreement. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has urged the Investor to seek the counsel of the Investor’s own legal or tax advisors with regard to the income tax consequences arising from the purchase of the Securities in accordance with this Agreement.

(k) Indemnification. The Investor hereby agre es to indemnify the Company and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and attorneys against and hold each of them harmless from any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal or other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of, based upon or related to (i) any sale or disposition of the Securities by the Investor in a violation of the Securities Act or any other securities laws, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by Investor and contained in the Transaction Documents, or (iii) any breach by Investor of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Investor in the Transaction Documents.

(l) Legend. The Investor understands that upon exercise of the Warrant, in whole or in part, each certificate representing the equity securities issuable thereunder will be endorsed with a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
