the expiration of any such extension of time. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated pursuant thereto, and none
of the SEC Documents, when filed, contained any untrue statement
of material fact or omitted to specify a material fact required

3.32 Private Offering. The Purchaser and all Persons acting on
its behalf have not made, and will not make, offers or sales of
any securities that might be integrated with issuance of the
Subject Shares and which would disqualify the Purchaser from
relying on that exemption from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act specified by the
provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of
Regulation D. The issuance by the Purchaser to the Seller of the

delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Neither the
Purchaser, nor any Person acting on its behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales in any security of the
Purchaser or solicited any offers to purchase any securities of

issuance of the Subject Shares, pursuant to this Agreement, to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Purchaser for the purposes
of the Securities Act.

known at the time of the execution of this Agreement) or at the
time of closing (a) would have been required to be set forth or
disclosed in or pursuant to this Agreement or an exhibit or

(b) would make the performance by the Seller of a covenant
specified in this Agreement impossible or make that performance

proceeding, or investigation in a timely manner, the Seller,
shall have the right to defend and settle the same and pay any
judgment or settlement pertaining thereto, as it may reasonably
deem appropriate, at the cost of Purchaser. If, however, it is

9.4 Defence of Third-Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement
action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of
indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, written notice
thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as
practicable (and in any event no later than fifteen (15) days
after the service of the citation or summons); provided, however,
that the failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice
shall not affect rights to indemnification contemplated by this
Article IX except to the extent that the indemnifying party
demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such
notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to
the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be
obligated pursuant to the terms of its indemnification pursuant
to this Article IX in connection with such lawsuit or action,
then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if such party so
elects, to take control of the defence and investigation of such
lawsuit or action and to employ and engage attorneys of its own
choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party's
cost, risk and expense; provided, however, that the indemnifying
party and its counsel shall proceed with diligence and in good
faith with respect thereto. The indemnified party shall cooperate
in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and such
attorneys in the investigation, trial and defence of such lawsuit
or action and any appeal resulting therefrom; provided, however,
that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in
the investigation, trial and defence of such lawsuit or action
and any appeal resulting therefrom. If a tax audit is commenced
or any Tax is claimed in connection with any of the Acquired
Assets prior to the Closing Date, such tax claim shall be treated
as a lawsuit or enforcement action for purposes of this Section
9.3; provided, however, that the Seller shall be solely
responsible for all Taxes, Liabilities and expenses resulting
therefrom.

Schedule 4.31
Investment Representations:
The Seller hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to the Purchaser, and agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, and pay all judgments of the claims against the
Purchaser for any liability or injury, including, but not limited
to, that arising under federal or state securities laws, incurred
as a result of any misrepresentation herein or any warranties
made by the Seller.
(a) The Seller, and their designees, are the sole and
true parties in interest and are not acquiring the
Subject Shares for the benefit of any other person;
(b) The Seller confirms receipt and careful review of
the SEC Documents, including all attachments and
exhibits thereto. The Seller understands that all
books, records, and documents of the Purchaser relating
to this Transaction have been and remain available for
inspection by the Seller upon reasonable notice. The
Seller confirms that all documents requested by the
Seller have been made available, and that the Seller
has been supplied with all of the additional
information concerning this investment that has been
requested. The Seller confirms that they have obtained
sufficient information, in their judgment or that of
their independent purchaser representative, if any, to
evaluate the merits and risks of this Transaction. The
Seller confirms that they have had the opportunity to
obtain such independent legal and tax advice and
financial planning services as the Seller has deemed
appropriate prior to making a decision to Close the
Transaction. In making a decision to Close the
Transaction, the Seller has relied exclusively upon
their experience and judgment, or that of their
purchaser representative, if any, upon such independent
investigations as they deemed appropriate, and upon
information provided by the Purchaser in writing or
found in the books, records, or documents of the
Purchaser;
(c) The Seller has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that the Seller is
capable of an evaluation of the merits and risks of
this Transaction;
(d) The Seller is aware that the acquisition of the
Subject Shares is highly speculative and subject to
substantial risks. The Seller is capable of bearing
the high degree of economic risk and burdens of this
venture, including, but not limited to, the possibility
of a complete loss, the lack of a sustained and orderly
public market, and limited transferability of the
Subject Shares, which may make the liquidation of this
investment impossible for the indefinite future;
(e) The offer to sell the Subject Shares was directly
communicated to the Seller by such a manner that the
Seller, or their purchaser representative, if any, was
able to ask questions of and receive answers from the
Purchaser or a person acting on their behalf concerning
the terms and conditions of this transaction. At no
time, except in connection and concurrently with such
communicated offer, was the Seller presented with or
solicited by or through any leaflet, public promotional
meeting, television advertisement, or any other form of
general advertising;
(f) The Securities are being acquired solely for the
Seller's, and their designees', own account, for
investment, and are not being purchased with a view to
resale, distribution, subdivision, or fractionalization
thereof;
(g) The Seller understands that the Subject Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, in reliance upon exemptions from
regulation for non-public offerings. The Seller
understands that the Subject Shares or any interest
therein may not be, and agrees that the Subject Shares
or any interest therein will not be, resold or
otherwise disposed of by the Seller unless the Subject
Shares are subsequently registered under the Securities
Act and under appropriate state securities laws or
unless the Purchaser receives an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration
is available;
33/38
Initials:_______/_______
(h) The Seller has been informed of and understands the
following:
(1) There are substantial restrictions on the
transferability of the Subject Shares;
(2) No federal or state agency has made any
finding or determination as to the fairness for
public investment, nor any recommendation nor
endorsement, of the Subject Shares;
(3) The Purchaser has no history of material
operations upon which the Seller can make an
evaluation of the acquisition of the Subject
Shares, other than the operations of the Acquired
Business.
(i) None of the following information has ever been
represented, guaranteed, or warranted to the Seller,
expressly or by implication by any broker, the
Purchaser, or agent or employee of the foregoing, or by
any other person:
(1) The approximate or exact length of time that
the Seller will be required to remain as a holder
of the Subject Shares;
(2) The amount of profit or loss to be realized,
if any, as a result of an acquisition of the
Subject Shares;
(3) That the past performance or experience of
the Purchaser, its officers, directors,
associates, agents, affiliates, or employees or
any other person will in any way indicate or
predict economic results in connection with the
plan of operations of the Purchaser or the return
on the investment;
