4.2 Investment Representations. In connection with the sale and issuance of the Shares, the Investor, for itself and no other Investor, makes the following representations:
(a) ()Investment for Own Account. The Investor is acquiring the Shares for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Shares. The Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation in any of the Shares to such person or to any third person.
(b) ()SEC Documents; Disclosure Materials. The Investor has received, read and fully understands the SEC Documents and the Disclosure Materials. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor is basing its decision to invest in the Shares on the Disclosure Materials and the exhibits thereto and has relied only on the information contained in said material and has not relied upon any representations made by any other person. The Investor recognizes that an investment in the Shares involves substantial risks and 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 section of the SEC Documents and Disclosure Materials entitled “RISK FACTORS.”
(c) ()Accredited Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Shares, it was, at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Investor is not a registered broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Such Investor is not affiliated with any broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of FINRA or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Investor has provided the Company a duly completed and executed original of the Verification verifying that the Investor is an “accredited investor.”
(d) ()Representations and Reliance. The Investor understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Investor to acquire the Shares. All information which the Investor has provided to the Company in Verification concerning itself is true and accurate in all material respects, and if there should be any material change in such information the Investor will promptly provide the Company with such information. The Investor will promptly notify the Company of any material fact or circumstance that would cause any of the foregoing representations to be untrue, incomplete, or misleading.
(e) ()Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Shares the Investor is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Investor also acknowledges that the Company was a former “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and as such the Investor understands Rule 144 is not currently available for the sale of the Shares and may not be so available as the Company was a former “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.
(f) ()Transfer Restrictions; Legends. The Investor understands that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Investor, and that the Shares must be held by the Investor indefinitely, and that the Investor must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; and (iii) each Certificate representing the Shares will be endorsed with a legend substantially in the following form until the earlier of (1) such date as the Shares have been registered for resale by the Investor or (2) the date the Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(g) ()Limited Public Market. The Investor understands and acknowledges that there is only a limited public market for our Common Shares on the OTCQB, and which market is very volatile, and the Company has made no assurances that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common Shares will ever exist.
(h) ()No Transfer. The Investor covenants not to dispose of any of the Shares other than in conjunction with an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 144 or pursuant to another exemption from registration or to an entity affiliated with the Investor and other than in compliance with the applicable securities regulations laws of any state.
(i) ()Investment Experience. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor is able to bear the economic risk of the Investor’s investment, including the complete loss thereof. The Investor has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers, directors or other persons in control of the Company, and the Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.

(k) ()General Solicitation. The Investor is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement prior to May 15, 2018. Prior to the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company or either of the agents such Investor had a pre-existing and substantial relationship with the Company or one of the agents. The Investor will not issue any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. Other than to other parties to this Agreement, the Investor has maintained and will continue to maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to Investor in connection with this transaction, including the existence and terms of this transaction.

The Investor has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. The Investor is solely responsible for conducting its own due diligence investigation of the Company.
4.5 Additional Acknowledgement. The Investor acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other person. The Investor acknowledges that, if it is a client of an investment advisor registered with the SEC, the Investor has relied on such investment advisor in making its decision to purchase Shares pursuant hereto.
4.6 Subscription Rejection Right. The Investor acknowledges that the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription, to accept any subscription in part only, or to prorate subscriptions, to negotiate any checks or other tenders of payment for discrepant amounts and to refund the excess to the Investor if (a) the Investor is not an “accredited investor” as confirmed by the Verification, (b) fails to deliver payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price, or (c) fails to deliver the completed Investor Deliverables substantially in the form as reasonably acceptable to the Company.
4.7 No Short Position. As of the date hereof, and from the date hereof through the date of the Closing Date, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that it does not and will not (between the date hereof and the Closing Date) engage in any short sale of the Company’s voting stock or any other type of hedging transaction involving the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, depositing shares of the Company’s securities with a brokerage firm where such securities are made available by the broker to other customers of the firm for purposes of hedging or short selling the Company’s securities).

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
5. Additional Covenants.
5.1 Material Non-Public Information. The Investor acknowledges that it has entered into a non-disclosure agreement with the Company. The Investor is aware of and will comply with the securities laws of the United States that prohibit any investor who has received from the Company or any of the directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents or advisers of the Company material, non-public information relating to the Company from trading (buying or selling) creating, transferring or otherwise disposing of or relinquishing any interest (including by the creation of an option) in any Shares or other securities of the Company until such material, non-public information has been publicly disclosed.
5.2 Transfer Restrictions. The Investor covenants that the Shares will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. Commencing six months after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly provide the Investor with the agreed Company representation letter and upon receipt of the Investor’s representation letter and the opinion of counsel, each as agreed to by the Company and the requesting Investor, the Company will deliver all required documents to and will instruct the Company’s transfer agent to remove any transfer restriction legend (including, but not limited to, the form of legend identified in Section 4.2(f) of this Agreement) from all of the Investor’s Shares; provided that, if as of the date of the request, the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, has not filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, has not filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) or is a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Former Shell Company Requirements”), then the Company shall not provide its representation letter and the transfer restriction legend will not be removed until the Former Shell Company Requirements have been satisfied; provided further that, if the transfer restriction legend was previously removed from the Investor’s Shares and the Company does not satisfy the Former Shell Company Requirements at any time, then, upon notice by the Company, the Investor agrees to promptly return any Shares owned by it to the Company’s transfer agent to be re-legended. Nothing in this section shall relieve the Company of its obligation to provide the information required in Section 3.14. In connection with any transfer of the Investor’s Shares that have a restricted legend affixed to them other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, or at such time that the Shares may be sold without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Subject to this Section 5.2, the Investor agrees to the imprinting of the restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth in Section 4.2(f).
