Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business. The Company is duly qualified to transact business as a corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’ ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Authorization; Due Execution. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representation in Section 3.6 below, the Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and all corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, upon due execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.
Valid Issuance of Stock. The Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Services Agreement for the consideration and on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Services Agreement, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in this Agreement, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws or applicable exemptions therefrom.
Governmental Consents.

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.
(iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party and by which it is bound that is filed with the SEC or (iv) to the Company’s knowledge, any law, rule or regulation currently in effect having applicability to the Company.
Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the Effective Date as follows:
Authorization; Due Execution. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. All action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares purchased by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the immediate resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same (provided that this shall not prevent the Purchaser from selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in the future in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (as defined below)). The Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person other than an affiliate of the Purchaser to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Shares, if issued.
Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has received all the information that it has requested and that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to enter into this Agreement and to acquire the Shares.

Investment Experience. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. The Purchaser has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.
Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.
Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and acknowledges and agrees that the Shares to be purchased hereunder are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Purchaser further understands that after the prescribed holding period as set forth in the in the Securities Act (as defined below), such restrictions on its rights to sell the Shares may expire (in accordance with Section 4.3 below).
Restrictive Legend. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each certificate representing the Shares purchased hereunder shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Legend Removal. The Company will instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares (or any portion thereof) unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend(s) are satisfied, until such time as a transfer is made, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to a registration statement or, if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or this Agreement, until such opinion of counsel (satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) has been received by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will act reasonably in requesting the removal of the restrictive legend after the Purchaser has satisfied the requirements of the Securities Act and provide the opinion described above if requested.
Miscellaneous.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
