3. Investor Eligibility Certifications
The Investor understands that, to purchase Shares, the Investor must either (a) be an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or (b) unless the securities issued in the offering initially trade on a national securities exchange, limit its investment in the Shares to a maximum of: (i) 10% of its net worth or annual income, whichever is greater, if the Investor is a natural person; or (ii) 10% of its revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for its most recently completed fiscal year, if the Investor is a non-natural person. The Investor understands that if the Investor is a natural person, the Investor should determine his or her net worth for purposes of these representations by calculating the difference between his or her total assets and total liabilities. The Investor understands this calculation must exclude the value of his or her primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by his or her primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of his or her primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.
The Investor hereby represents and warrants that the Investor meets the qualifications to purchase Shares because:
| ☐ | the aggregate purchase price for the Shares the Investor is purchasing in the offering does not exceed 10% of its revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for its most recently completed fiscal year. |
| ☐ | The Investor is an accredited investor. |
| 4. | Acceptance or Rejection of Subscription. The Investor understands that the Company reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, and to the extent not accepted, unused funds maintained in the Investor’s account or transmitted herewith shall either, as the case may be, not be debited from the Investor’s account or be returned to the Investor in full, without any interest accrued thereon or deduction, and, upon the rejection of the subscription, this Agreement shall be terminated (provided that Sections 11-19 shall survive such termination). |
| 5. | Offering Circular. The Investor hereby confirms that the Investor has received the Offering Circular. |
| 6. | Articles of Incorporation. The Investor hereby confirms that the Investor accepts the terms of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time). |
| 7. | Purchase for Investor’s Own Account. The Investor hereby confirms that the Investor is purchasing the Shares for the Investor’s own account. |
| 8. | Compliance with Laws. The Investor hereby represents and warrants that the Investor is not on, and is not acting as an agent, representative, intermediary or nominee for any person identified on, the list of blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of Treasury. In addition, the Investor has complied with all applicable U.S. laws, regulations, directives, and executive orders relating to anti-money laundering, including but not limited to the following laws: (1) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56; and (2) Executive Order 13224 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) of September 23, 2001. |
By making the foregoing representations, the Investor has not waived any right of action the Investor may have under federal or state securities law. Any such waiver would be unenforceable. The Company will assert the Investor’s representations as a defense in any subsequent litigation where such assertion would be relevant.
| 9. | Electronic Signatures. Digital or electronic signatures, often referred to as an “e-signature”, enable paperless contracts and help speed up business transactions. The 2001 E-Sign Act was meant to ease the adoption of electronic signatures. The mechanics of this Agreement’s electronic signature include the Investor signing this Agreement below by typing in the Investor’s name, with the underlying software recording the Investor’s IP address, browser identification, the timestamp, and a securities hash within an SSL encrypted environment. This electronically signed Agreement will be available to both the Investor and the Company, as well as any associated brokers, so they can store and access it at any time, and it will be stored by and accessible from Digital Offering servers. The Investor and the Company each hereby consent and agree that electronically signing this Agreement constitutes the Investor’s signature, acceptance and agreement as if actually signed by the Investor in writing. Further, all parties agree that no certification, authority or other third-party verification is necessary to validate any electronic signature; and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of the Investor’s signature or resulting contract between the Investor and the Company. The Investor understands and agrees that his, her or its e-signature executed in conjunction with the electronic submission of this Agreement shall be legally binding and such transaction shall be considered authorized by the Investor. The Investor agrees that his, her or its electronic signature is the legal equivalent of his, her or its manual signature on this Agreement and the Investor consents to be legally bound by this Agreement’s terms and conditions. Furthermore, the Investor and the Company each hereby agree that all current and future notices, confirmations and other communications regarding this Agreement specifically, and future communications in general between the parties, may be made by email, sent to the email address of record as set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise from time to time changed or updated and disclosed to the other party, without necessity of confirmation of receipt, delivery or reading, and such form of electronic communication is sufficient for all matters regarding the relationship between the parties. If any such electronically sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including but not limited to such communication being diverted to the recipient’s spam filters by the recipient’s email service provider, or due to a recipient’s change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipient’s service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including but not limited to postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received. No physical, paper documents will be sent to the Investor, and if the Investor desires physical documents then the Investor agrees to be satisfied by directly and personally printing, at the Investor’s own expense, the electronically sent communication(s) and maintaining such physical records in any manner or form that the Investor desires. |
| 10. | Delivery Instructions. All Shares will be retained in the Investor’s brokerage account. Upon closing, the Investor will receive a notice of its holdings from its broker. |
| 11. | Jury Trial Waiver.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF SUCH PARTY. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. BY AGREEING TO THIS WAIVER, THE INVESTOR IS NOT DEEMED TO WAIVE THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. |
| 12. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Florida, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. |

The Investor may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, and any such purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. |
| 15. | Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by the Investor and the Company. |
| 16. | Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
