3. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber.
Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Reliance on Exemptions. Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from registration provided in the Securities Act, and acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state agency because it is intended to be an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands that the Company is relying upon, and intends that the Company rely upon, the truth and accuracy of, and Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Shares. The Company may only make offers to sell the Shares to persons outside the United States in this Offering and, if applicable, at the time any buy order is originated, the buyer is outside the United States. The undersigned has not received an offer to purchase Shares inside the United States and will not originate a buy order inside the United States.

(vi) a non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account any of the foregoing; or
(vii) a partnership or corporation (A) organized or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, and (B) Formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

(f) Use of Proceeds. Subscriber understands that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance the acquisition by the Company of Enochian Biopharma, Inc. (“Enochian”) and related professional costs associated with such acquisition.
(g) Prior Investment Experience.

Such persons or entities in (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to as “Restricted Persons.” Neither the Subscriber, nor any person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Subscriber, any investors in the Subscriber (if the Subscriber is a pooled investment vehicle) or any person or entity for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or similar capacity (each such investor in the Subscriber and each such person for whom the Subscriber acts as agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or in a similar capacity, an “Underlying Beneficial Owner”) in connection with the acquisition of Shares is a Restricted Person.
4. No funds tendered for the acquisition of Shares are directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations, and no capital contribution in relation to Shares acquired by the Subscriber or, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner will be derived from any illegal or illegitimate activities.

The Company may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Subscriber’s identity or provide other information with respect to the Subscriber to OFAC or other governmental entities.
11. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that any distributions paid to it by the Company will be paid to, and any contributions made by it to the Company will be made from, an account in the Subscriber’s name unless the Company, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise.
