CohBar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Maker ” or “ Company ”), for value received, promises to pay to [NAME], [an individual/corporation/limited liability company organized under the laws of/residing in STATE/PROVINCE] (“ Holder ”), the principal sum of [_____, in U.S. funds ($__)] (the “ Principal Amount ”), on the following terms and conditions:

 

1. PAYMENT PROVISIONS.

 

1.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue and be computed on the unpaid Principal Amount from the date of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on the basis of a 365 day year. The Principal Amount and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon shall become due and payable on March 29, 2021 (the “ Maturity Date ”). Upon payment in full of all Principal Amount and accrued interest payable hereunder, Holder shall surrender this Note to Maker for cancellation.

 

1.2 Prepayment. The indebtedness represented by this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, at the option of Maker and without the consent of Holder. Any prepayment(s) shall be applied first to any accrued but unpaid interest and second to the reduction of the Principal Amount. Any prepayment of the Principal Amount shall be subject to the provisions of Policy 5.1 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”), including but not limited to any adjustment of the term of any common stock purchase warrants issued to Holder by Maker pursuant to that Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date hereof (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

 

  1  

 

 

1.3. Payment Location. Unless otherwise directed in writing by Holder, all payments shall be made to Holder by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by Holder from time to time in writing.

 

1.4 Cancellation of Indebtedness; Application to Exercise/Purchase Price . Provided that the Company’s common stock is not then listed on the TSXV, the Holder may elect to cancel all or a portion of the unpaid principal and interest outstanding hereunder as payment of an equivalent amount due to the Company in respect of (i) the exercise price of any warrant to purchase the Company’s common stock issued by the Company and/or (ii) the purchase price payable for securities issued by the Company in a future financing transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall give the Holder the right to participate in any future financing of the Company.  In connection with any election to cancel indebtedness under this Section 1.4 the Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company a written acknowledgement confirming the amount of indebtedness to be cancelled and applied to the payment of a warrant exercise price or purchase price, as applicable, together with such other instruments and documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith.  

 

2. DEFAULT. The entire unpaid Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall become and be immediately due and payable upon written demand of Holder, without any other notice or demand of any kind or any presentment or protest, if any one of the following events (an “ Event of Default ”) should occur and be continuing at the time of such demand, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or, without limitation, occurring or brought about by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or other order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority:

 

2.1. If Maker fails to make any payment as and when required herein, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Holder specifying the failure and stating that it is a “notice of non-payment”; or

 

2.2. If Maker (i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) applies for, consents to, acquiesces in, files a petition or an answer seeking, or admits (by answer, default or otherwise) the materials allegations of a petition filed against it seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator debtor-in-possession, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of itself or for all or substantially all of its assets, or a reorganization, arrangement with creditors or other remedy, relief or adjudication available to or against a debtor under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any law relating to relief of debtors; or

 

2.3. If a decree, order or judgment should have been entered adjudging Maker as bankrupt or insolvent, or appointing a trustee, receiver, liquidator debtor-in-possession, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency for it or for all or substantially all of its assets, or approving a petition seeking a reorganization, arrangement with creditors, or winding up or liquidation of its affairs on the grounds of insolvency or nonpayment of debts, and such decree, order or judgment should remain undischarged and unstayed for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days, or if any substantial part of the property of Maker is sequestered or attached and should not be returned to the possession of Maker or released from such attachment within one hundred twenty (120) days.

 

  2  

 

 

3. USURY LAWS; SENIOR DEBT.

 

3.1 It is the intention of Maker and Holder to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws now or hereafter in force, and any interest payable under this Note shall be subject to reduction to an amount that is the maximum legal amount allowed under the applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction over such matters. The aggregate of all interest contracted for under this Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum legal rate upon the principal amount remaining unpaid from time to time. If such interest does exceed the maximum legal rate, it shall be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, rebated to Maker or credited on the principal amount, or if this Note has been repaid, then such excess shall be rebated to Maker.

 

3.2 During the term of the Note, Maker shall not, without the prior written consent of Holder, enter into a debt obligation senior in right of payment to Maker’s obligations under this Note.

 

4. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

4.1. Binding Effect. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Maker, Holder and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

 

4.2. Assignment. This Note may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Holder, in whole or part, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Maker.

 

4.3. Waiver. Holder may extend the time for, waive or modify the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition of Maker contained in this Note; however, no such extension, waiver or modification shall (i) be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Holder, or (ii) operate as an extension, waiver, or estoppel of or with respect to any subsequent act or omission.

 

4.4. Costs. Maker shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Holder in any legal proceeding brought to enforce Holder’s rights under this Note (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), including costs on appeal or in any bankruptcy.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Warrant No. 2018 – [__] Original Issue Date: March [__], 2018 (“ Original Issue Date ”)

All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ Warrants .”

2. No Transfer . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned or transferred by Holder.

 

3. Exercise and Duration of Warrants .

 

(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by Holder in any manner permitted by  Section 9  hereof at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no longer outstanding.

 

(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised in the manner indicated on the Exercise Notice. The date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant (the “ New Warrant ”) evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, on or before the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company prepays any amounts due pursuant to that 8% Unsecured Promissory Note Due 2021 issued by the Company to Holder on the Original Issue Date (the “ Note ”) and the shares of Common Stock are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”) on the date of such prepayment, the Expiration Date of some or all of this Warrant will be adjusted to be the date of the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date in accordance with Section 2.2 of Policy 5.1 of the TSXV.

 

4. Delivery of Warrant Shares .

 

(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of Holder in such name or names as the Holder may designate (provided that, if a registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder is not then effective and the Holder directs the Company to deliver a certificate for the Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, such delivery shall be subject to Holder’s compliance with  Section 13 ). The Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.

 

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;  provided, however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

6.  Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

7.  Reservation of Warrant Shares; Listing . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of  Section 8  hereof). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

8.  Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this  Section 8 .

 

(a)  Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. 

 

(b)  Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness; (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph); (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security; or (iv) any other asset (including cash) (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

 

(c)  Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in which the shareholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity; (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of all outstanding Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which all outstanding Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.

 

3

 

 

(d)  Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this  Section 8 , the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

9.  Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by (i) wire transfer to the Company or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank made payable to the order of the Company or (ii) provided that the Company’s common stock is not then listed on the TSXV, by the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company under the Note in an amount equal to the Exercise Price.

 

10.  No Fractional Shares . No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the Exercise Date.

 

11.  Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of confirmed transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail as specified in this  Section 11  at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of confirmed transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered by e-mail as specified in this  Section 11  on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon receipt if sent by mail or other courier. The addresses for such notices or communications shall be: (a) if to the Company, to CohBar, Inc., 1455 Adams Drive, Suite 2050, Menlo Park, CA 94025, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, Email: jeff.biunno@cohbar.com (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this  Section 11 ) or (b) if to the Holder, to the address or e-mail address appearing on the Warrant Register (or such other address as the Holder shall indicate in writing in accordance with this  Section 11 ).

 

12.  Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with  Section 11 .

 

13.  Compliance with Securities Laws .

 

(a) The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares 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 applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(a) He, she or it has answered the questions contained in the Investor Questionnaire and, as applicable, the Canadian Accredited Investor Certificate and the Form 45-106F9 -  Form for Individual Accredited Investors  (collectively, the “ Canadian Exemption Certifications ”), and made a part hereof to the best of his, her or its knowledge and the answers thereto are complete and accurate.  The Investor understands and agrees that, although such answers will be kept strictly confidential, the Company may present such Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certifications to such parties as it deems advisable if called upon to establish the availability under applicable securities laws of an exemption from registration.  The Investor agrees to indemnify the Company, its agents, officers, directors and shareholders, for any and all losses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and other costs of investigating, prosecuting, or defending any litigation claim) incurred by the Company as a result of its reliance on the representations and warranties of the Investor made in this Agreement or any answers contained in the Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certifications.

 

(b) If the Investor is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, or employee benefit plan, it is authorized to make the investment contemplated herein, and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.

 

(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor and constitutes the Investor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(d) The Investor is acquiring the Securities as principal for the Investor’s own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution.  The Investor understands that neither the Securities, nor the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have not been, and will not be, registered under the  Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”), or applicable securities laws by reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws that depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties as expressed in this Agreement and in the Investor Questionnaire.

 

(e) The Company has advised the Investor, if the Investor is a resident of Canada, that the Company is relying on an exemption from the requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws to provide the Investor with a prospectus and that no prospectus has been filed by the Company with any securities commission in Canada in connection with the sale and issuance of the Securities, and as a consequence:

 

(i) the Investor is restricted from using most of the civil remedies available under applicable Canadian securities laws and certain protections, rights and remedies provided by applicable Canadian securities laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to the Investor;

 

(ii) the Investor may not receive information that would otherwise be required to be provided to the Investor under the applicable Canadian securities laws; and

 

(iii) the Investor is relieved from certain obligations that would otherwise apply under the applicable Canadian securities laws.

   

  5  

 

 

(f) The Investor: (i) has been furnished, has carefully read, understands the terms and conditions of, and the information contained in this Agreement (including all exhibits and all amendments thereto and hereto) and (ii) has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Securities, the Company and its business.

 

(g) The Investor recognizes that (i) the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk and has taken full cognizance of and understands such risks, (ii) that all information provided, if any, by the Company relating to its use of proceeds, financial forecasts, and other information which is not of an historical nature (“ Forward-looking Information ”), represents only the Company’s good faith assessment of such Forward-looking Information, and is based upon assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable, although no assurance exists that such Forward-looking Information is accurate or will be fulfilled, and (iii) that the Company has relied on the representations of the Investor as set forth in this Agreement, in the Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certificates, in determining materiality for purposes of satisfying the disclosure obligations of the Company and in determining the availability of exemptions from (a) registration requirements under applicable United States federal and state securities laws; and (b) prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws.

 

(h) The Investor is resident in the jurisdiction set out on the execution page of the Investor Questionnaire, which such address is the Investor’s residence or principal place of business, and such address was not obtained or used solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(i) The Investor fully understands and agrees that the Investor must bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Securities for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, neither the Securities nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities laws of any state, and therefore cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration requirements are available.  The Investor further understands and agrees that the Company will not honor any attempt by the Investor to sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Notes, Warrants or Warrant Shares in the absence of an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an unqualified opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, and obtained at the expense of the Investor, that exemptions are available therefrom with respect to such attempted disposition.

 

(j) The Investor acknowledges that the Warrants and the certificates representing Warrant Shares will bear a legend as of the Closing Date substantially in the following form:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

   

  6  

 

 

WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRADED ON OR THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE OR OTHERWISE IN CANADA OR TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CANADIAN RESIDENT UNTIL FOUR MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE SET FORTH BELOW.

(l) The Investor (i) can bear the risk of losing the entire investment in the Securities; (ii) has overall commitments to other investments which are not readily marketable that are not disproportionate to his, her or its net worth and the investment Securities will not cause such overall commitments to become excessive; (iii) has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Securities; and (iv) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable, either alone, or together with one or more advisors, of evaluating the risks and merits of investing in the Securities.

 

(m) The Investor has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Investor, any liability for brokerage or finder’s fees or agent’s commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.

 

(n) The Investor acknowledges that he, she or it must depend entirely upon his, her or its own personal advisors for tax advice concerning an investment in the Company, that the Company has not provided any information on tax matters, and that any information provided to the Investor by, or on behalf of, the Company is not to be construed as tax advice to the Investor from the Company or counsel to the Company.  The Investor will rely solely on his, her or its own personal advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Investor (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Investor’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  

  7  

 

 

(o) The Investor understands and agrees that the Company is issuing the Securities to him, her or it pursuant to the exemptions from federal and state securities registration requirements under the 1933 Act. In connection therewith, the Investor represents and warrants that the Investor qualifies as an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Rule 501 of the 1933 Act (a “ U.S. Accredited Investor ”) and has confirmed that on the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C .

(q) The funds representing the aggregate purchase price in respect of the Securities which will be advanced by the Investor to the Company hereunder will not represent proceeds of crime for the purpose of the  Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing   Act  (Canada) (the “ PCMLTF Act ”) and the Investor acknowledges that the Company may in the future be required by law to disclose the Investor’s name and other information relating to this Agreement and the Investor’s subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PCMLTF Act; to the best of the Investor’s knowledge, none of the subscription funds to be provided hereunder (i) have been or will be obtained or derived, directly or indirectly, from or related to any activity that is deemed illegal under the laws of Canada or the United States or any other jurisdiction, or (ii) are being tendered on behalf of a person or entity who has not been identified to the Investor.
