| 3. | Representations and Warranties of Xxxx. |
Xxxx represents and warrants to the Company that now and as of the Closing:
| 1 |
3.1 Title to Series C Shares. Xxxx is the legal and beneficial owner of the Series C Shares, and, upon consummation of the Exchange contemplated herein, the Company will acquire from Xxxx good and marketable title to such Series C Shares, free and clear of all liens and claims.
3.2 Access to Information. Xxxx hereby represents and warrants that prior to the execution of this Agreement by Gray, Gray has carefully reviewed the audited financial statements for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the unaudited financial statements at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, copies of which are available in public reports filed by Wytec with the Securities and Exchange Commission at xxx.xxx.xxx., which include risk factors, and updated business, financial and other information regarding the Company, and has carefully reviewed that information and the Executive Summary of the Company, dated October 1, 2021 (collectively the “Information”). As the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, Xxxx has also had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive additional information from other members of the management of the Company before making an investment decision.
3.3 Sophistication and Knowledge. Xxxx is a “sophisticated investor” and acknowledges that he has sufficient experience in financial and business matters to be capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of Xxxx’x investment through the Exchange, and to make an informed decision relating to it.
3.4 Evaluation of Risks. Xxxx has evaluated the risks of this investment in the Company, including those risks particularly described in the Information, and has determined that the investment is suitable for Xxxx. Xxxx has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character, and at this time can bear a complete loss of this investment. Xxxx understands that by making this Exchange, he is surrendering the voting power associated with owning the Series C Shares.
3.5 No Federal Registration. Xxxx understands that the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of the undersigned’s representations and warranties.
3.6 No State Registration. Xxxx understands that the Shares are not being registered under state securities laws on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a public offering in such state. Xxxx understands that reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of Xxxx’x representations and warranties.
3.7 Acknowledgment of No Liquidity. Xxxx has no need for any liquidity in this investment and is able to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time. Xxxx has been advised and is aware that (i) it may not be possible to liquidate the investment readily; (ii) Xxxx must bear the economic risk of his investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or state law and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state law or an exemption from such registration is available; (iii) a legend as to the restrictions on transferability of the Shares referred to herein will be made on the documents evidencing the Shares, and (iv) a notation in the appropriate records of the Company will be made with respect to any restrictions on transfer of Shares. The undersigned covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless such Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from registration is available. The restrictive legend on the book entry form or certificates will essentially state as follows:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), NOR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, CONVEYED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS PRESENTED INDICATING THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
3.8 Authority. This Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with this acquisition of Shares are valid, binding, and enforceable agreements of Xxxx.
| 2 |
3.9 Acknowledgment of Investment Risks. Xxxx hereby understands and acknowledges the risk factors relating to this investment, including but not limited to those described in the Information, and that the acceptance of the Shares is highly speculative and subject to a high degree of risk.
| 4. | Further Assurances. |
Each of the parties shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to proceed promptly with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, to fulfill the conditions precedent for the closing of the Exchange, and to execute such further documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by it.
| 5. | Deliveries. |
5.1 Items to be delivered by the Company to Xxxx.

| 6. | Survival of Representations and Warranties. |

Each of the parties hereto is executing and carrying out the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or given at the Closing, and not upon any investigation which it might have made or any representation, warranty, agreement, promise or information, written or oral, given by the other party or by any other person, other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement.
| 7. | Equitable Relief. |
7.1 Damages Inadequate
Each party acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other parties if there is a failure to comply with any covenants or provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other parties to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.
7.2 Equitable Relief
It is therefore agreed that any party to this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants or provisions of this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, shall be entitled to immediate equitable and injunctive relief to enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement in any instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other provision in any other instance.
