(a)

Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at one or more closings at such dates and times as the Company and the Purchasers mutually agree upon, orally or in writing (which dates and times are designated as the “Closing” or “Closings”).

(b)

Deliveries. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a certificate or evidence in book-entry form representing the Shares against payment of the Purchase Price payable as set forth in Section 1(b) above, registered in the name of such Purchaser.

3.	Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents, warrants, and acknowledges to the Company as follows:

(a)	The Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to undertake and perform his obligations hereunder.

(b)

All action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser, for the performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, and for the payment of the Purchase Price, has been taken. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute the legal and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

(c)	The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(d)	The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not for the account of any other person or entity, and not with a view to distribution, assignment or resale of the Shares to others or to fractionalization of the Shares in whole or in part.

(e)

The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

(f)

The Purchaser has conducted the Purchaser’s own due diligence in making a decision to purchase Common Stock of the Company. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) from the Company or any other person or entity acting as an agent for the Company, other than the representations of the Company provided in Section 4 below. The Purchaser has discussed with the Purchaser’s professional legal, tax and financial advisers the suitability of an investment in the Company for the Purchaser’s particular tax and financial situation and has determined that the Common Stock will be a suitable investment for the Purchaser.

(g)

The Purchaser has no need for liquidity with respect to the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares to satisfy any existing or contemplated need, undertaking or indebtedness. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares for an indefinite period, including the risk of losing all of the Purchaser’s investment.

---

(h)

The Company has made available to the Purchaser all documents and information relating to an investment in the Company as the Purchaser has requested, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company relating to the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares.

(i)

The Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Company involves substantial risks and recognizes that any historical financial and operating history relating to the Company and its affiliates that may have been provided to the Purchaser, if any, was for purposes of illustration only, and no assurance is or can be given that actual results will correspond with the historical results. The Purchaser is fully aware of and understands all of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Shares.

(j)	The Purchaser is aware that the Company is issuing the Shares pursuant to exemptions and exceptions from applicable securities laws, and in doing so, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained herein.

(k)	The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser may not distribute or transfer the Shares unless the Common Stock is registered under applicable securities laws or an exemption from registration is available.

(l)

The Shares were not offered to the Purchaser by means of: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, Internet website or similar medium, or broadcast over television or radio, (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising, or (iii) any other form of general solicitation or advertising.

(m)	The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the certificate issued in connection with the purchase of the Shares shall be endorsed with the legend set forth below:

THE COMMON STOCK HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF UNLESS AND UNTIL THIS COMMON STOCK IS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

(a)

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.
