2.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Lender as follows:
(a)
Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of Nevada and is in good standing under such laws. The Company is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of its activities or properties owned or lease makes such qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Notes, and each other document, agreement or instrument entered into by it in connection with this Agreement or the Notes.
(b)
No Conflict. This Agreement does not: (i) conflict with any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, both as amended to date; 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, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected.
(c)
Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and constitutes the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement of remedies to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
(d)

(e)
No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no material liabilities or obligations not disclosed to Lenders.

Representations and Warranties of Lender. Each Lender, with respect to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company as of the closing date that:
(a)
All actions on the part of such Lender for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by such Lender of this Agreement have been taken, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
(b)
Such Lender is acquiring the Notes for investment for such Lender’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution. Such Lender understands that the Notes to be acquired have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.
(c)
Such Lender is an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Act.
(d)
Such Lender is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies similarly situated to the Company, and acknowledges that such Lender is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Notes.
(e)
Such Lender believes it has received all the information such Lender considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Notes. Such Lender has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.
(f)
Such Lender acknowledges that the Notes must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Such Lender is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, unless such Lender is an affiliate of the Company, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker,” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
4.
Legends. Any certificate representing the Note issued pursuant to the terms hereof shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:
“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE NOTE UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
