The Subscriber understands that the Put Securities, including any Put Warrants and Put Warrant Shares, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions thereof, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Subscriber’s investment intent and the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties herein.
