“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE REOFFERED FOR SALE OR RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

The Vendor further agrees that the Purchaser may refuse to register any resale or transfer of the Dane Shares not made pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
4.3 The Vendor covenants, represents and warrants to Dane as follows, and acknowledges that Dane is relying upon such covenants, representations and warranties in connection with the sale of the Dane Shares to the Vendor:
| (a) | An investment in Dane’s securities is highly speculative, and the Vendor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of his investment, has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the securities of Dane. |
| (b) | The Vendor can bear the economic risk of an investment in the securities of Dane. |
| (c) | The Vendor has had full opportunity to review Dane’s filings with the SEC, including Dane’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and additional information regarding the business and financial condition of Dane.

In this connection, the Vendor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. |

The Vendor further acknowledges and agrees that the Dane Shares may not be traded in or from a jurisdiction in Canada unless such trade is made in accordance with the provisions of MI 51-105, the Vendor will, and will cause its affiliates to, comply with such conditions in making any trade of the Dane Shares in or form a jurisdiction in Canada and Dane will refuse to register any transfer of the Dane Shares made in connection with a trade of the Dane Shares in or from a jurisdiction in Canada and not made in accordance with the provisions of MI 51-105.
