4	U.S. Securities Law Representations. Each Preferred Stockholder severally (not jointly and severally) makes the following representations to Boxlight:

 

	4.1	I am aware that my investment in the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk and I or my Sellers’ Representative have read carefully the Boxlight Boxlight SEC Documents. I acknowledge and am aware that there is no assurance as to the future performance of Boxlight or its consolidated direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Sahara.
	4.2	I am purchasing the Conversion Shares for my own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the distribution of the Conversion Shares, nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the foregoing securities. I agree that I must bear the entire economic risk of my investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of certain states or an exemption from such registration is available. I hereby authorize Boxlight to place a restrictive legend on the Conversion Shares that are issued to me.
	4.3	I believe that the investment in the Conversion Shares is suitable for me based upon my investment objectives and financial needs, and I have adequate means for providing for my current financial needs and contingencies and have no need for liquidity with respect to my investment in Boxlight.
	4.4	I have been given access to full and complete information regarding Boxlight and have utilized such access to my satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information in addition to, or verifying information included in, the Boxlight SEC Documents, and I have either met with or been given reasonable opportunity to meet with officers of Boxlight for the purpose of asking questions of, and receiving answers from, such officers concerning the the business and operations of Boxlight and to obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably available. All of my questions have been answered to my full satisfaction.
	4.5	I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Conversion Shares and have obtained, in my judgment, sufficient information from Boxlight to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in Boxlight.
	4.6	I am an “accredited investor” as defined in Section 2(15) of the Securities Act and in Rule 501 promulgated thereunder I can bear the entire economic risk of the investment in the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time and I am knowledgeable about and experienced in making investments in the equity securities of non-publicly traded companies, including early stage companies. I am not acting as an underwriter or a conduit for sale to the public or to others of unregistered securities, directly or indirectly, on behalf of Boxlight or any person with respect to such securities.
	4.7	I understand that (1) the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on specific exemptions from registration, (2) no securities administrator of any state or the federal government has recommended or endorsed this offering or made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of an investment in Boxlight, and (3) Boxlight is relying on my representations and agreements for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements of certain exemptions from registration afforded by the Securities Act and certain state securities laws. I understand that since neither the offer nor sale of the Conversion Shares has been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, the Conversion Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless they are so registered or an exemption from such registration is available.
	4.8	I have had the opportunity to seek independent advice from my professional advisors relating to the suitability of an investment in Boxlight in view of my overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of such investment.
