B.           WHEREAS, on March 15, 2016, the Company filed a preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) related to a firm commitment underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of units (“Units”) of securities, each such Unit consisting of (a) one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) and (b) a warrant, which warrant is each exercisable to purchase 0.5 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”);

Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that none of the Units, the Common Stock and Warrants included in the Units, or the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) have been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws and those Securities therefore cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser further represents that it understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing any Securities, whether upon initial issuance or upon any permitted transfer thereof, shall bear a legend, prominently stamped or printed thereon, reading substantially as follows:

3.3           Information. Such Purchaser has been furnished with or has had access to all information it has requested from the Company and has had an opportunity to review the books and records of the Company and to discuss with management of the Company its business and financial affairs and has generally such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters and with respect to investments in securities of development-stage companies so as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of such investment and form an investment decision with respect thereto; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect, diminish, or derogate from the representations and warranties made by the Company hereunder or the right of such Purchaser to rely thereon. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Units nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Units. In connection with the issuance of the Units to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.

 

3.4           Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning set forth in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated hereunder and is able to bear the economic risks of its investment in the Securities.

 

3.5           Use of Placement Agent. Such Purchaser has been advised that the Company has retained Dawson James Securities, Inc. as its placement agent for this offering (“Placement Agent”), and that the Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent a placement agent fee of 8% of the Aggregate Proceeds, to reimburse the Placement Agent for its expenses up to $25,000 and to issue the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 5% of the number of shares of common stock sold in this offering. The Placement Agent warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing six months following the consummation of this offering, and ending five years from the consummation of this offering, at a price per share equal to 125% of the Offering Price.
