or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval
applicable to the Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or
properties.
2.8 Disclosure. The Company has provided the Investor with all the
information reasonably available to the Company without undue expense that the
Investor has requested for deciding whether to purchase the Common Stock and all
information that the Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable the

filed (collectively, the "SEC Documents"). As of their respective filing dates,
such SEC Documents filed by the Company complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder, as the case may be, and none of the SEC
Documents contained as of the date filed any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading, except to the extent such SEC Documents have been
corrected, updated or superseded by a document subsequently filed with the SEC.
The financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included
in the SEC Documents (the "Company Financial Statements") comply as to form in
all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner
consistent with past practice of the Company (except as may be indicated in the

no change in the Company's accounting policies except as described in the notes
to the Company Financial Statements. Except as reflected or reserved against in
the Company Financial Statements, the Company has no material Liabilities (as
defined below) or other obligations, except (i) since the date of the most
recent audited balance sheet included in the Company Financial Statements,
Liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business
consistent with the past practices of the Company or (ii) that would not be

contingency), known or unknown, fixed or otherwise, or whether due or to become
due as determined in accordance with GAAP. "Indebtedness" of any person means
all obligations of such person (a) for borrowed money, (b) evidenced by notes,
bonds, debentures or similar instruments, (c) for the deferred purchase price of
goods or services (other than trade payables or accruals incurred in the
ordinary course of business), (d) under capital leases and (e) in the nature of
guarantees of the obligations described in clauses (a) through (d) above of any
other person.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. The Investor hereby
represents and warrants that:
3.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the
Investor in reliance upon the Investor's representation to the Company, which by
the Investor's execution of this Agreement the Investor hereby confirms, that
the Common Stock to be purchased by the Investor will be acquired for investment
for the Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view
to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Investor further
represents that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Common Stock.
3.2 Reliance Upon Investors' Representations. The Investor understands
that the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act on the ground
that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities
hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
section 4(2) thereof, and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is based
on the Investor's representations set forth herein. The Investor realizes that
the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such
representations, the Investor has in mind merely acquiring the Common Stock for
a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale
if the market does not rise. The Investor has no such intention.
3.3 Receipt of Information. The Investor believes he has received all
the information he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Common Stock. The Investor further represents that he has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain
additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or
could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the
accuracy of any information furnished to such Investor or to which such Investor
had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations
and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the
Investors to rely thereon.
3.4 Investment Experience. The Investor represents that he is
experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the
development stage and acknowledges that he is able to fend for himself, can bear
the economic risk of his investment, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Common Stock.
5

3.5 Accredited Investor. The Investor is an "Accredited Investor" as
such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.
3.6 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Common
Stock may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration
under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of
an effective registration statement covering the Common Stock or an available
exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Common Stock must be
held indefinitely. In particular, the Investor is aware that the Common Stock
may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless
all of the conditions of that Rule are met.
3.7 Legends. To the extent applicable, each certificate or other
document evidencing any of the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement
shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below, and the Investor covenants
that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, the

AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR IF THE COMPANY IS PROVIDED AN OPINION OF

UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED."
(b) Any legend imposed or required by applicable state securities laws.
