The Holder of this Warrant, including any successive Warrant, further represents and warrants by accepting this Warrant that such Holder is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in the Securities Act (and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and this Warrant and any securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to distribution or resale, within the meaning of the Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the persons entitled to receive the shares of securities into which this Warrant is exercisable may be required to execute and deliver to the Company such other documents and instruments, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company to effect the compliance of the issuance of this Warrant and the securities issuable on exercise of this Warrant with the Acts.
