8.3 Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Notes and Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Notes and Warrants.

 

8.4 Information. The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Notes and the Warrants which have been requested by the Purchaser. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Purchaser shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Notes and the Warrants involves a high degree of risk. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes and the Warrants.

 

8.5 No Governmental Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes and the Warrants or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes and the Warrants nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes and the Warrants.

 

8.6 Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts. This Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Purchasers are a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchasers and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchasers enforceable against the Purchasers in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

33

 

 

8.7 Organization and Standing. If the Purchaser is an entity, the Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or any other entity duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

 

8.8 Brokers or Finders. The Purchaser represents and warrants, to the best of its knowledge, that except as set forth in Schedule 7.18 hereto, no finder, broker, agent, financial advisor or other intermediary, nor any purchaser representative or any broker-dealer acting as a broker, are entitled to any compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

8.9 Ability to Perform. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against any Purchaser or such Purchaser’s assets before any court or governmental agency (nor is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way such Purchaser’s ability to enter into and fully perform its commitments and obligations under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

8.10 Transfer or Resale. The Purchaser understands that (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (i) subsequently registered thereunder, (ii) the Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (iii) the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144 A promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (b) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person) through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and the Purchasers in effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 8.10.

COMPANY DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

 

This Disclosure Schedule ( this “Disclosure Schedule”) is part of and delivered pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2018 (the “Agreement”), between Hyrecar Inc (the “Company”) and each Purchaser identified on the signature pages thereto. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings as defined in the Agreement, unless otherwise provided. The section numbers below correspond to the section numbers of the representations and warranties in the Agreement; provided, however, that any information disclosed herein under any section number shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section number under the Agreement where such disclosure would be appropriate and such appropriateness is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure. Nothing in this Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in the Agreement or to create any covenant. Inclusion of any item in this Disclosure Schedule (1) does not represent a determination that such item is material or establish a standard of materiality, (2) does not represent a determination that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business, (3) does not represent a determination that the transactions contemplated by the Agreement require the consent of third parties, and (4) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item. This Disclosure Schedule includes brief descriptions or summaries of certain agreements and instruments, copies of which are available upon reasonable request. Such descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the documents described, true and complete copies of which have been provided to the Investors or their respective counsel.

Affiliate Transactions

 

(ii)

 

● In September 2015, a claim was made by certain former founders (the “Claimants”) against the Company for violations of the founders’ agreement. The Claimants and the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement and general mutual release on April 25, 2016. The arbitration settlement provided that the Claimants would continue to own 350,000 shares of common stock and return the remaining shares to the Company. Furthermore, the Claimants agreed that the shares, while not in a separate class, would not have voting rights until they are sold to a non-affiliated third party. The Claimants will be diluted upon capital raising, stock option offerings and vesting, however any dilution will remain consistent and proportional to the remaining founders’ dilution ratios and the Claimants will not be diluted more than the founders’ ratios in any capital raising transaction. As of the date of this Offering Circular, $61,111 of the balance remained outstanding as of June 30, 2017.

 

On May 1, 2017 we entered into certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements whereby we issued and sold to certain affiliated investors, one of whom was Michael Furnari, a director of the Company, promissory notes for an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 together with five-year warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share. The notes bear no interest and have a maturity date of May 1, 2018; provided, that right to repayment of such notes shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2(a) of the Agreement. The Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 to Mr. Furnari. As of the date hereof, the promissory notes remain outstanding.
