3.2 This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.

4.1 The Investor represents and warrants that it has received the Company’s base prospectus relating to the Units and the Free Writing Prospectus.
