TO: Security Devices International Inc.
The undersigned (the “Subscriber”) hereby agrees with Security Devices International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the terms of this Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) and each of the Company and the Subscriber hereby make certain representations and warranties to the Agent and to each other as follows:
1.The Offering.
a. | Offering Amount and Purchase Price. The Company proposes to raise up to USD$4,500,000 (the “Offering”) from the sale of units (the “Units”) at a price of USD$0.106 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”) on a “best-efforts” basis. All funds from investors will be delivered directly to the Company, without provision for escrow. | |
b. | Units. Each Unit shall consist of one share (a “Share”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and one-half (1/2) of a warrant (each whole warrant is referred to herein as a “Warrant”) to purchase one-half (1/2) share of Common Stock. | |
c. | Warrants. Each full Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant Share”) for the 60-month period following the first closing of the Offering at an exercise price of USD$0.18 per share. The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that at such time when he/she/it subscribes for the Units the first closing of the Offering may have happened and accordingly the Warrants issued to such Subscriber may have a term of less than 60 months. If the Company’s Common Stock trades at a price that closes above USD$0.36 per share for 20 consecutive trading days ending more than two years after the first closing of the Offering, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days from the date it gives the registered holders of the Warrants notice of such acceleration. | |
d. | Restricted Securities. The offering and sale of the Units are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder. The offering and sale of the Units are not registered under the Securities Act, or qualified or registered under the securities laws of any states. Consequently, the Shares and the Warrants included in the Units, as well as the Warrant Shares, may not be sold, transferred or hypothecated without registration under the Securities Act, and applicable state laws or without an exemption from such registration or qualification. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will bear a legend restricting their transfer accordingly, and may bear certain legends required by state law where required. | |
e. | No Minimum Offering Amount. There is no minimum number of Units that must be sold to close this Offering. | |
f. | Offering Period. The Offering will expire at 5:00 p.m. EST on November 15, 2017, subject to one or more extensions of the Offering for up to an additional 60 days at the joint discretion of the Company and the Agent (defined hereafter) (the period, as extended, if any, shall be referred to as the “Offering Period”). The Company may conduct one or more closings within the Offering Period prior to the receipt of the maximum offering amount of USD$4,500,000. |

No offering memorandum has been used for this Offering.All of the filings made by the Company at the EDGAR and SEDAR web sites in the past 24 months are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. | |
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Agreement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document or report that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Closing in escrow means that the Subscriber securities and the Purchase Price will be held in escrow by the Company’s legal counsel or the Agent and not released until final acceptance of the Offering is received from the TSX Exchange.

************************************************
I understand that investment in the Units of Security Devices International Inc. (the “Company”) is an illiquid investment. In particular, I recognize that I must bear the economic risk of investment in the Units of the Company (the “Units”) for an indefinite period of time, since the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and therefore cannot be sold unless either they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available and an opinion of counsel satisfactory in substance and form to counsel for the Company to that effect is obtained. I consent to the affixing by the Company of such legends on certificates representing the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares as any applicable federal or state securities law or any securities law of any other applicable jurisdiction may require from time to time.
A-1
I represent and warrant to the Company that: (i) the information provided in this Accredited Investor Certification is complete, true and correct; (ii) I and my Investment Managers, if any, have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Units; (iii) I and my Investment Managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information provided to me and have had all inquiries to the Company answered, and have been furnished all requested materials, relating to the Company and the offering and sale of the Units; (iv) neither I nor my Investment Managers, if any, have been furnished any offering literature by the Company or any of its affiliates, associates or agents other than the Subscription Agreement; and (v) I am acquiring the Units for which I am subscribing for my own account, as principal, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of the Units.
I understand that the purchase price for the Units does not reimburse for any costs incurred by me for legal, tax, accounting or financial advice, including fees paid to my purchaser representative, if any.
The undersigned, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business entity, (i) is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Units, (ii) has obtained such additional tax and other advice that it has deemed necessary, (iii) has its principal place of business at its residence address set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and (iv) has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units (although this may not necessarily disqualify the Subscriber as a purchaser). The persons executing the Subscription Agreement, as well as all other agreements related to the Offering, if any, represent that they are duly authorized to execute all such agreements on behalf of the entity. (If the undersigned is one of the aforementioned entities, it agrees to supply any additional written information that may be required.)
All of the information which I have furnished to the Company and which is set forth in the Subscription Agreement is correct and complete as of the date of the Subscription Agreement. If any material change in this information should occur prior to my subscription being accepted, I will immediately furnish the revised or corrected information. I further agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Offering described in the Subscription Agreement and the other documents and agreements related thereto, if any. I am the only person with a direct or indirect interest in the Units subscribed for by this Subscription Agreement. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, and attorneys, including the Placement Agent and its attorneys, from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that they may incur by reason of the failure of the undersigned to fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Subscription Agreement or by reason of any breach of the representations and warranties made by the undersigned herein or in any agreement provided by the undersigned to the Company in connection with this Offering. This subscription is not transferable or assignable by me without the written consent of the Company. If more than one person is executing this Agreement, the obligations of each shall be joint and several and the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, each of these persons and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. This subscription, upon acceptance by the Company, shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. This Subscription Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

SECURITY DEVICES INTERNATIONAL INC.
RISK FACTORS
Risks Relating to Our Business
Senior and Subordinate Secured Convertible Debentures
On December 7, 2016, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors to sell $1,500,000 of 10% senior secured convertible notes (the “Secured Notes”), convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. Concurrent with the sale of the Secured Notes, CAD$1,364,000 of the Company’s outstanding unsecured debentures (the “Unsecured Debentures”), were exchanged for an equal principal amount of the subordinated secured debentures and an additional CAD$37,000 of subordinated secured debentures were issued in satisfaction of a portion of the accrued interest on the Unsecured Debentures. Both senior and subordinated secured debentures mature on June 6, 2019 unless converted or extended and are fully secured against the undertaking, property and assets of the Company including its patents. Inability to repay the secured debt on maturity, if the debt is neither converted nor extended, will result in the financial condition of the Company to be materially adversely affected and could result in investors losing all or part of their investment in this Offering.
Additional Financing
The Company does not have adequate revenue, cash flow or capital to fund all of its operational needs and may require additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth or raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Any additional financing could result in dilution to investors. In addition, the Company’s failure to generate substantial revenue growth or borrow or raise additional capital would likely result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Company’s deployment of its products, resulting in the possible loss to investors of part or all of their investment in the Company.
Uncertainty of Revenue or Revenue Growth
There can be no assurance that the Company can generate substantial revenue or revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Even the limited revenue that the Company has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Company may increase further its operating expenses in order to increase its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
Dependence on Management and Key Personnel
The Company is dependent on certain members of its senior management. The loss of the services of one or more of them could adversely affect the Company. The Company’s ability to maintain its competitive position is also dependent upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, specialized technical, manufacturing, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to recruit and retain such personnel. The inability of the Company to recruit and retain such personnel would adversely affect the Company’s operations and product development.
B-1
Dependence on Key Suppliers
The Company purchases certain key components of its products from a limited number of suppliers. Failure of a supplier to provide sufficient quantities on favorable terms or on a timely basis could result in possible lost sales.
Product Liability
The Company may be subject to proceedings or claims that may arise in the ordinary conduct of the business or otherwise, which could include product and service warranty claims, as well as damages claims, any or all of which could be substantial. If the Company’s products fail to perform as warranted and it fails to quickly resolve product quality or performance issues in a timely manner, sales may be lost and the Company may be forced to pay damages. Any failure to meet customer requirements could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the occurrence of product defects could result in claims or litigation for damages, the cost of which could be substantial. The inability of the Company to correct errors could additionally result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of its products, material warranty expense, diversion of technological and other resources from its product development efforts, and the loss of credibility with customers, manufacturer’s representatives, distributors, value added resellers, systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers and end-users, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial conditions.
The Company currently has general liability insurance that includes product liability coverage. There is no assurance this insurance policy will cover any or all potential claims, which may have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. A product recall could also have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.
Insurance and Uninsured Risks
The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including industrial accidents, labor disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to equipment, personal injury or death, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Although the Company maintains liability insurance in amounts which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or the Company may elect not to insure against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial position.
Adverse Effect of Possible Litigations
From time to time in the normal course of business or otherwise, the Company may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to the Company’s financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect its operating results if changes to business operation are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of the Company’s resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of the Company’s business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether the Company is ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
B-2
Strategic Alliances
The Company relies upon, and expects to rely upon, strategic alliances with original equipment manufacturers for the manufacturing and distribution of its products. There can be no assurance that such strategic alliances can be achieved or will achieve their goals.
Marketing and Distribution Capabilities
In order to commercialize its technology, the Company must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market any of its products, the Company must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources which may be unavailable to the Company. In addition, developing or acquiring a sales force would divert the attention of its management and key personnel and defer could result in a delay of the Company’s product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Company enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Company fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales, reduced revenue and cash flow, if any, and increase costs and expenses. Failure to develop sales would in all likelihood adversely impact the Company’s ability to continue operations and could result in a loss to investors of part or all of their investment.
Rapid Technological Development
The Company’s business is the development, manufacture and sale of less-lethal ammunition. The markets for the Company’s products and services in the ammunition industry are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the Company’s products or which render the products currently sold by the Company obsolete or less marketable. Regardless of the industry as a whole, the less lethal sector of ammunition moves somewhat slower in the adaptation and integration of new products.
The Company must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, the Company may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts, and result in increased operating expenses.
Competition
The Company’s industry is highly competitive and composed of many domestic and foreign companies. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience, substantial competition from numerous competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Company to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.
B-3
Regulation
The Company is subject to numerous federal, provincial, state and local environmental, health and safety legislation and measures relating to the manufacture of ammunition. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties with its efforts to comply with applicable regulations as they change in the future or that its continued compliance efforts (or failure to comply with applicable requirements) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, business, prospects and financial condition. The Company’s continued compliance with present and changing future laws could restrict the Company’s ability to modify or expand its facilities or continue production and could require the Company to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expense.
Political Regulatory Risks
Any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting the sale of the Company’s products. This may affect the Company’s ability to ship product in the future. The possibility that future governments may adopt substantially different policies, may also affect the Company’s operations. Local governments in all countries the Company deals with issue end user certificates to purchase or receive live ammunition from the Company. It is the decision of these countries in the Middle East, the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, and the Baltics whether or not they will take possession or purchase such munitions.
Intellectual Property
The Company’s ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology and manufacturing processes. Although the Company considers certain of its product designs as well as manufacturing processes involving certain of its products to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. The Company has adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company’s technology.
To protect the Company’s intellectual property, it may become involved in litigation, which could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of its management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of its business.
Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights
While the Company believes that its products and other intellectual property do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, its commercial success depends, in part, upon the Company not infringing intellectual property rights of others. A number of the Company’s competitors and other third parties have been issued or may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those utilized by the Company. Some of these patents may grant very broad protection to the owners of the patents. The Company has not undertaken a review to determine whether any existing third party patents or the issuance of any third party patents would require the Company to alter its technology, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. The Company may become subject to claims by third parties that its technology infringes their intellectual property rights due to the growth of products in its target markets, the overlap in functionality of those products and the prevalence of products. The Company may become subject to these claims either directly or through indemnities against these claims that it provides to end-users, manufacturer’s representatives, distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers.
B-4
Litigation may be necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish the Company’s proprietary rights. Some of its competitors have, or are affiliated with companies having, substantially greater resources than the Company and these competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for a longer period of time than the Company. Regardless of their merit, any such claims could be time consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or stoppages, divert management’s attention and focus away from the business, subject the Company to significant liabilities and equitable remedies, including injunctions, require the Company to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements and require the Company to modify or stop using infringing technology.
The Company may be prohibited from developing or commercializing certain technologies and products unless it obtains a license from a third party. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain any such license on commercially favorable terms or at all. If it does not obtain such a license, it could be required to cease the sale of certain of its products.
Health and Safety
Health and safety issues related to the Company’s products may arise that could lead to litigation or other action against the Company or to regulation of certain of its product components. The Company may be required to modify its technology and may not be able to do so. It may also be required to pay damages that may reduce its profitability and adversely affect its financial condition. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative publicity could affect the Company’s ability to market certain of its products and, in turn, could harm its business and results from operations.
Stress in the Global Financial System
Recent events have demonstrated that businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, events seemingly unrelated to the Company, or to its industry, may adversely affect its finances or operations in ways that are hard to predict or defend against. For example, credit contraction in financial markets may hurt the Company’s ability to access credit when it is needed or rapid changes in foreign exchange rates may adversely affect financial results. Finally, a reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity, may adversely affect businesses and industries that collectively constitute a significant portion of the Company’s customer base. As a result, these customers may need to reduce their purchases of the Company’s products, or there may be greater difficulty in receiving payment for the products that these customers purchase from the Company. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in world financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, and financial condition.
B-5
Conflicts of Interest
Certain directors and officers of the Company are or may become associated with other companies in the same or related industries which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Company are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and the officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. The directors and officers of the Company have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Company will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers.
Risks Related To the Offering and Our Securities
Reliance on Exemptions From Registration
The Offering is being made in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or the provisions of Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the exemptions from registration provided by the laws of certain states in which the Offering is conducted. Reliance on these exemptions does not, however, constitute a representation or guarantee that such exemptions are, indeed, available. If for any reason the Offering is deemed not to qualify as exempt under Section 4(a)(2) or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, and if no other exemption from registration or qualification is available, and the Offering is not registered or qualified with the applicable federal or state authorities, the offer and sale of the Units would be deemed to have been made in violation of the applicable laws requiring such registration or qualification. As a remedy, in the event of such violation, each investor purchasing the Units in the Offering would have the right to rescind his/her/its purchase of the Units and to have his/her/its purchase price returned. If an investor requests a return of his/her/its purchase price, funds might not be available for that purpose. In that event, liquidation of our company might be required. Any refunds made would reduce funds available for our operations. A significant number of requests for rescission would probably leave us without funds sufficient to respond to such requests or successfully to proceed with our activities.
Illiquid Investment
An investment in the Company requires a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. Currently there is no liquid market for our Common Stock and we cannot guarantee that such liquid market for our Common Stock would develop in the near future. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your Common Stock. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares. Moreover, we do not expect security analysts of brokerage firms to provide coverage of our company in the near future.
Limitation on Sale and Transfer
The Units are being offered and sold pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirement of the Securities Act and without qualification or registration under the securities laws of various states. Consequently, the Units offered hereby may not be sold, transferred or hypothecated without registration under the Securities Act, and applicable state laws or without an exemption from such registration or qualification. The Units, including the Shares, the Warrants and Warrant Shares, will bear a legend restricting their transfer accordingly, and may bear certain legends required by state law where required.
B-6
General Venture Company Risks
The Units must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. An investment in the Units should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment, and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of their investment in a timely fashion. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors to assess the legal, financial and other aspects of an investment in the Units.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not paid dividends in the past and has no plans to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The future dividend policy of the Company will be determined by its directors.
Market Price of Common Stock
There can be no assurance that an active market for the Common Stock will be sustained. Securities of small and midcap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include global economic developments and market perceptions of the attractiveness of certain industries. The price per share of Common Stock is also likely to be affected by change in the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly filings. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Company that may have an effect on the price of Common Stock include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to subscribers concerning the business of the Company may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Company’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Company’s securities may affect a subscriber’s ability to trade significant numbers of shares of Common Stock, the size of the Company’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Company’s securities; a substantial decline in the price of the Common Stock that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Company’s securities to be delisted from the exchange, further reducing market liquidity. If an active market for the Common Stock does not continue, the liquidity of a subscriber’s investment may be limited and the price of the Common Stock may decline. If such a market does not develop, subscribers may lose their entire investment in the Units.
Management’s Broad Discretion in the Use of Proceeds
Management of the Company will have broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds of the Offering, which creates uncertainty for shareholders and could adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
No Investor Counsel Retained to Represent the Subscribers
Counsel has not been retained to represent the Subscribers of the Units. Prospective Subscribers of the Units are urged to consult with their own legal counsel, and retain their services as deemed necessary.
Arbitrary Basis of the Offering Price of the Units
The offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the Warrants were determined by us on an arbitrary basis and bear no relationship to earnings, asset values, book value or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the Warrants should not be viewed as an indication of the value of those securities.
B-7
No Escrow
All funds from investors will be delivered directly to the Company, without provision for escrow.
No Minimum Proceeds Required
There is no minimum number of Units that must be sold to close this Offering. If only limited proceeds are raised in the Offering, they may not be enough for the Company to operate and investors could lose their entire investment.
Side Letter Agreement with Certain Subscribers
The Company has agreed to enter into a Side Letter Agreement with two institutional subscribers in this Offering (collectively, “Institutional Subscribers”). Pursuant to the Side Letter Agreement, within the two-year period following the final closing of this Offering the Company shall not conduct any future offerings of its securities at a price lower than USD$0.106 per share without the prior written consent of the Institutional Subscribers as long as each Institutional Subscriber continues to hold more than 75% of the securities it acquired in this Offering during such two-year period. The terms contained in the Side Letter Agreement are not included in the Subscription Agreement entered into by other Subscribers.
Placement Agent Cannot Guarantee the Completeness and Accuracy of Information in the Reports Filed by the Company
Each Subscriber in this Offering has been provided with the website link to the reports (the “Company Reports”) the Company filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All of the filings made by the Company in the past 24 months are incorporated by reference in this Agreement. The Company Reports were prepared and filed by the Company without the assistance of the Agent. The Agent has not confirmed that the information contained in the Company Reports is accurate, complete or correct. Each Subscriber is urged to conduct its own due diligence on the accuracy and completeness of the information in the Company Reports and herein before making an investment in this Offering.
