The Offering was made directly to the investors, without a placement agent or underwriter.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreements were made only for the purpose of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
