7.3 Representations and Warranties of the Lender.

To induce the Borrower to enter into this Agreement, the Lender hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Borrower which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note and the Security:

(a) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Lender of this Agreement have been duly authorized and will each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Lender, enforceable against such Lender in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(b) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Warrant to be received by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement (and the shares of common stock of the Borrower issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) will be acquired for such Lender’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and such Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Lender’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Warrant (or shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Lender is not a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act of 1933, as amended or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

(c) Investment Experience. Such Lender acknowledges that the purchase of the Warrant (and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) is a highly speculative investment and that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Warrant (and/or shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

(d) Disclosure of Information. The Lender has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Borrower and the Warrant requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Borrower regarding the Borrower, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant.

(e) Restricted Securities. The Lender understands that the Warrant and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws since they are being acquired from the Borrower in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

(f) Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Warrant and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will bear the following or any similar legend:

(i) “The securities represented hereby may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) Yappn Corp. has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualification under applicable state securities laws.”

(ii) If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Warrants (and exercise of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant).

(g) Accredited Investor. The Lender is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended under the Securities Act.
