Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor subscribes for and agrees to purchase and acquire from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor, the Shares, in the manner set forth in Section 2 hereof, at the Offering Price and for the aggregate consideration set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”).
2. Closing of Purchase and Sale of Shares. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at such time and on such date as is determined by the Company as soon as practicable following satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price by (a) check made payable to “Digipath, Inc.” or (b) wire transfer of immediately available funds (net of wire transfer fees) in accordance with the Company’s wire instructions.
Promptly after the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Investor a certificate representing the shares of Preferred Stock purchased by the Investor hereunder. Notwithstanding that the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is part of the larger Offering, the obligations of the Company and the Investor hereunder are independent of, and not subject to the terms and conditions of, any other agreement between the Company and any other investor in the Offering, and the Closing may occur separate and apart from, and irrespective of, the closing, if any, of any other purchase and sale of Shares in the Offering.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In order to induce the Investor to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company represents and warrants to the Investor as follows:
3.1 Incorporation. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”). The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to carry on its business as now conducted.
3.2 Authorization. The Shares being purchased by the Investor hereunder will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms hereof, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and its stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, including the issuance and delivery of the Shares, and the reservation of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise and conversion of the Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) has been taken or will be taken prior to the issuance of such Conversion Shares. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. The Conversion Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

The Company is not otherwise in violation of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents, nor is the Company, to its knowledge, in violation of any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company, which violation, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Knowledge of Investment and its Risks. The Investor has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Investor’s investment in the Shares. The Investor understands that an investment in the Company represents a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that the Company’s business or operations will be successful. The Investor has considered carefully the risks attendant to an investment in the Company, and that, as a consequence of such risks, the Investor could lose the Investor’s entire investment in the Company. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 3, the Investor is not relying on any representation, warranty or disclosure of the Company, express or implied, in respect of any of the Company’s assets, liabilities or operations, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any representation, warranty or disclosure made in any presentation or marketing materials made available by the Company, if any.
4.5 No Public Market. The Investor understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for the Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares.
4.6 Investment Intent. The Shares are being acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of the Shares (or any of the Conversion Shares), and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing any of the Shares (or any of the Conversion Shares) within the meaning of and in violation of the Securities Act. Further, the Investor does not have any contracts, understandings, agreements, or arrangements, directly or indirectly, with any person and/or entity to distribute, sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person and/or entity with respect to, any of the Shares or Conversion Shares. The Investor is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
4.7 Investor Status. The Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.8 No Registration. The Investor understands that the Investor may be required to bear the economic risk of the Investor’s investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time. The Investor further understands that (i) neither the offering nor the sale of the Shares has been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws (“State Acts”) in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of such laws, (ii) the Shares (including the Conversion Shares) must be held by him, her or it indefinitely unless the sale or transfer thereof is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable State Acts, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available, (iii) the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Shares or Conversion Shares on the Investor’s behalf or to assist the Investor in complying with any exemption from registration, and (iv) the Company will rely upon the representations and warranties made by the Investor in this Agreement in order to establish such exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable State Acts.
| 4 |
4.9 Transfer Restrictions. The Investor will not transfer any of the Shares or Conversion Shares unless such transfer is registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable State Acts, and, if requested by the Company in the case of an exempt transaction, the Investor has furnished an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such transfer is so exempt. The Investor understands and agrees that (i) the Company shall have no obligation to honor transfers of any of the Shares or Conversion Shares in violation of such transfer restrictions, (ii) the Company shall be entitled to instruct any transfer agent or agents for the securities of the Company to refuse to honor such transfers and (iii) the certificate and other documents evidencing the Shares and the Conversions Securities will bear a legend substantially as follows:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
5. Independent Nature of Investor’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other purchaser of Shares, and the Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other purchaser of Shares under any other agreement executed in connection with the Offering. The decision of the Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by the Investor independently of any other purchaser of Shares in the Offering. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Offering, and no action taken by any purchaser of Shares pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute such purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the purchasers of Shares in the Offering are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by any other agreement executed in connection with the Offering. The Investor acknowledges that no other purchaser of Shares in the Offering has acted as agent for the Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other purchaser of Shares in the Offering will be acting as agent of the Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other purchaser of Shares to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
