3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER.
The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, solely as to itself, as follows:
3.1 The Purchaser acknowledges that this subscription may be accepted or rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company shall have no obligation to issue the Warrant to the Purchaser unless and until this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Purchaser and accepted by the Company.
3.2 The Purchaser recognizes that purchase of the Warrant involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company, the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares; (ii) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate her investment; (iii) transferability of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares is extremely limited; and (iv) in the event of a disposition of the Warrant and/or the underlying Warrant Shares, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of her entire investment.
3.3 The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and represents that the Purchaser has prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are not listed, are unregistered and are not traded on any stock exchange or an automated quotation system.
3.4 The Purchaser hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement and the form of Warrant, and hereby represents that the Purchaser has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company, the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares that the Purchaser has requested or desired to know, has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares and the affairs of the Company and has received any additional information which the Purchaser has requested. In evaluating the suitability of this investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) other than as set forth in this Agreement.
2
3.5 To the extent the Purchaser has deemed necessary, the Purchaser has retained, at the sole expense of the Purchaser, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and her purchase of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares hereunder.
3.6 The Purchaser hereby represents that such Purchaser either by reason of the Purchaser’s business or financial experience, or the business or financial experience of the Purchaser’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect such Purchaser’s interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and to adequately evaluate the risks and merits of purchase of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares.
3.7 The Purchaser is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Company and could afford a complete loss of such investment. The Subscriber's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Purchaser's net worth and the Purchaser's investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The Purchaser has adequate net worth and means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies to sustain a complete loss of the Purchaser's investment in the Company, and the Purchaser has no need for liquidity in this investment.
3.8 The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares have not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state regulatory authority, and that the sale of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act based in part upon the Purchaser’s representations and agreements contained in this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees that it shall not sell or otherwise transfer the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares unless they are registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or unless and until the Company receives an opinion of counsel to the Company that an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that no federal or state agency has made any determination as to the fairness of the offering of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares, or any recommendation or endorsement of the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares.
3.9 The Purchaser is purchasing the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares for the Purchaser’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others. If other than a natural person, the Purchaser was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Warrant and the underlying Warrant Shares.
3.10 The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Warrant through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or over the Internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Warrant and is not purchasing the Warrant as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.
3.11 The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Warrant. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

3.12 The Purchaser represents and warrants that such Purchaser has not engaged, consented to nor authorized any broker, finder or intermediary to act on such Purchaser’s behalf, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all fees, commissions or other payments owing to any such person or firm acting on behalf of such Purchaser hereunder.
3.13 The foregoing representations and warranties are true as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true as of the date of the closing of the purchase of the Warrant by the Purchaser.
