REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not
jointly, as follows:
SECTION 3.01 AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by
such Purchaser of this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, and the purchase and receipt by such Purchaser of
the Shares being purchased by it hereunder have been duly authorized by all
requisite action on the part of such Purchaser, and will not violate any

Purchaser or any of such Purchaser's properties or assets are bound, or conflict
with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument.
SECTION 3.02 VALIDITY. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by such Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws from time to time in effect
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general equity
principles. The Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
when executed and delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement,

4
of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to
enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws from time to time in effect affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general equity principles.
SECTION 3.03 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
(a) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for
investment, and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof in
violation of applicable law.
(b) Such Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of its
investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be resold unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such other laws or unless
an exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser also
understands that, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, it is
not contemplated that any registration will be made under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or that the Company will take steps
which will make the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act available to
permit resale of the Shares. Such Purchaser will not pledge, transfer, convey or
otherwise dispose of any of the Shares, except (i) in connection with a
distribution to its partners, or (ii) in a transaction that is the subject of
either (x) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws, or (y) an opinion of counsel to the effect
that such registration is not required (which opinion and counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, it being agreed that Reboul, MacMurray,
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Kristol shall be satisfactory, and may be relied on by the
Company in making such determination), it being intended that the agreements
with respect to the Shares contained in this sentence shall be construed
consistently with the provisions relating to the same subject matter contained
in the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) Such Purchaser is able to fend for itself in the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risks of
its investment in the Shares being purchased by it for an indefinite period of
time. Such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, officers of the Company with respect to the business and financial
condition of the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Shares and to obtain additional information necessary to verify such information
or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.
5
(d) Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Shares. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act with
respect to its purchase of the Shares, and that if such Purchaser is a
partnership, it has not been formed solely for the purpose of purchasing the
Shares it is purchasing hereunder.
