The investor has represented that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant may not be re-offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements under applicable federal and state securities laws.

     

    The above summary of the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Warrant, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein by reference in its entirety.
