The Note has the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in this Agreement and in form of Note, as attached as Appendix B to the Company’s Summary of Terms for Convertible Note Financing (the “Offering Memorandum”), and which is to be filed by the Company upon receipt of the minimum aggregate subscription amount, as such term is used in the Offering Memorandum.

 

THE INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTE INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, AND THAT THE NOTE IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND RESALE. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES THAT THE INVESTOR WILL RECOVER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS INVESTMENT.

a.           The Investor has read this Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement and the Offering Memorandum (collectively, the “Investment Documents”).

 

b.           In making the decision to purchase the Note and the securities into which the Note is convertible, the Investor and the Investor’s advisors have, prior to any sale to the Investor, been given the opportunity to examine all books and records of the Company and all contracts and documents relating to the Company, as well as an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company related to its business and this offering and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided to the Investor.

The Investor further represents and warrants as follows:

 

a.           Note Not Registered; Indefinite Holding Period. The Investor has been advised that the Investor must be prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period because:

c.           Purchase for Own Account. The Investor represents that the Note is being acquired, and the securities into which the Note is convertible will be acquired, solely for the Investor’s own account for investment and not with a view toward, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” (as that term is used in the Securities Act) of all or any portion thereof.

 

d.           General Solicitation. The Investor is not purchasing the Notes as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Notes published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
