hereby represents and warrants to Company that the following are true and correct on the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

contained in said materials and has not relied upon any representations made by any other person. Investor recognizes that an investment in the Shares involves substantial risk and Investor is fully cognizant of and understands all of the risk
factors related to the purchase of the Shares, including, but not limited to, those risks set forth in the SEC Reports under the heading “RISK FACTORS.”

not disproportionate to its individual net worth, and its investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. Investor has adequate means of providing for its financial requirements, both current and anticipated,
and has no need for liquidity in this investment. Investor can bear and is willing to accept the economic risk of losing its entire investment in the Shares. Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is

advisors represent Investor in any way in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the entering into any of the related agreements associated with the purchase. Investor also understands that legal counsel to Company, does not represent, and
