Each Unit shall consist of one (1) share of common stock (the “Share”) and one (1) warrant to purchase a share of common stock at a price of $1.20 per share (the “Warrant”) (collectively, the “Units”). The purchase price per Unit is $0.80.
The Investor represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company as follows:
| 1. | The Investor has previously specified and acknowledged to the Company, in completing the Investor’s entries for the Investor’s investment through the website at [*], the number of Units being purchased by the Investor, the aggregate purchase price that the Investor is paying for the Units, the Investor’s contact information and the Investor’s Social Security number or other tax ID information. | |
| 2. | The Investor understands that the Units are being offered pursuant to an offering circular, dated [*], 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offering Circular”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), located at [*].

| 8. | The investor understands that no sale may be made to an Investor that is not an “accredited investor” if the aggregate purchase price the Investor pays is more than 10% of the greater of the Investor’s annual income or the Investor’s net worth. Before making any representation that an investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, the Investor should review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A, which states: |

(1) Annual income or net worth if a natural person (with annual income and net worth for such natural person purchasers determined as provided in Rule 501 (§230.501)); or
(2) Revenue or net assets for such purchaser’s most recently completed fiscal year end if a non-natural person”.

| 11. | The Investor acknowledges that neither the SEC nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units. The Investor understands that the Units are being offered pursuant to a broker/dealer registration. | |

The Investor has relied solely upon the Offering Circular and independent investigations made by Investor’s representatives and advisors with respect to the Units subscribed for herein, and no oral or written representations beyond the Offering Circular have been made to the Investor or relied upon by the Investor by the Company, its representatives or assigns, or any other person or entity. | |
| 17. | No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Investor or any of the Investor’s affiliates is required for the execution of this Subscription Agreement or the performance of the Investor’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Units by the Investor. | |
| 18. | The Investor understands that the offering is being conducted by the Company directly (issuer-directed) and the Company has not engaged a selling agent such as an underwriter or placement agent. | |
| 19. | If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Investor hereby represents that he or she has satisfied himself or herself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Units.
