Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited

or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of the Shares (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser

(d)
Experience of Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment
in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)
Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents and the
SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing
in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties,
management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information
that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision
with respect to the investment.
(f)
Regulation S. The Purchaser is a non-U.S. person (as such term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act)
and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. Such Purchaser will not, within six (6) months of the date
of the transfer of the Shares to such Purchaser, (i) make any offers or sales of the Shares in the United States or to, or for the benefit
of, a U.S. person (in each case, as defined in Regulation S) other than in accordance with Regulation S or another exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (ii) engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Shares unless in compliance
with the Securities Act. Neither such Purchaser nor any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates or any person acting on his/her or their
behalf has engaged or will engage in directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Shares, and all
such persons have complied and will comply with the offering restriction requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering
of the Shares outside of the United States. Such Purchaser further makes the representations and warranties to the Company set forth
on Exhibit A.
(g)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has
not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any
purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser
first discussed the transaction with the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereunder and ending on the date when this Agreement is publicly disclosed by the Company. The Purchaser has
maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of
this transaction).
(h)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(i)
No Registration. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act
or applicable securities laws of any state or country and therefore the Shares cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed
of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration
requirements are available. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, and any such registration shall be in the Company’s sole discretion.
(j)
No General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other

of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
