f. | Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. INVO and INVO Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof. INVO and INVO Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. INVO and INVO Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for INVO and INVO Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by INVO in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. INVO’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of INVO and INVO Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). INVO presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of INVO and INVO Subsidiaries. |

INVO is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

l. | Form S-3 Eligibility. INVO is eligible to register the resale of the Underlying Shares for resale by the Purchaser on Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act. | |
m. | Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Section 4.12 of the Purchase Agreement), it is understood and acknowledged by INVO that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked by INVO to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of INVO, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by INVO or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include locating and/or borrowing shares of INVO Common Stock) or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of INVO’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the shares of INVO Common Stock and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. INVO further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in INVO at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. INVO acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents or the Joinder Documents. |
