SECTION
4
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
Each
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as follows:
4.1 Authorization.
This
Agreement constitutes the Purchaser’s valid and legally binding obligation,
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by
(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws
of
general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the
availability of equitable remedies. The Purchaser has full power and authority
to enter into this Agreement.
4.2 Investment.
The
Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment for the Purchaser’s own account
and not with the view to the public resale or distribution thereof within
the
meaning of the Securities Act, and such Purchaser has no present intention
of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the
Securities. No other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest,
in
whole or in part, in such Securities. The Purchaser understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of
a
specific exemption thereunder, which depends upon, among other things, the
bona
fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed
herein.
4.3 Relationship
to Company; Sophistication; Experience.
The
Purchaser either (i) has a preexisting business or personal relationship
with the Company and/or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons
or
(ii) such Purchaser, either alone or with his or her purchaser
representative(s), has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective
investment in the Shares. Each purchaser representative, if any, in connection
with the Purchaser’s investment in the Securities, has confirmed in writing the
specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual
or
contemplated, between the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s affiliates and the
Company or any of the Purchaser’s affiliates.
7
4.4 Restrictions
on Transfer.
The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or the Company receives
an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is
not
required. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated
under
the Securities Act which permit limited resale of stock purchased in a private
placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among
other things, the existence of a public market for the stock, the availability
of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring
not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the stock
to be
sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or a transaction directly
with a “market maker” and the number of shares of the stock being sold during
any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Purchaser
further acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying
the
current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Purchaser
wishes to sell the Securities and, if so, the Purchaser would be precluded
from
selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one year minimum holding
period has been satisfied.
4.5 No
Public Market.
The
Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Securities,
that
there can be no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the
Securities and that the Company is under no obligation to register the
Securities.
4.6 Exemption
from Registration.
The
Purchaser further acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements
of
Rule 144 are not met, compliance with another registration exemption will
be
required; and that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the
SEC has
expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and other than pursuant to
Rule
144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption
from registration is available for such offers or sales, that such persons
and
the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk,
and
that, therefore, there is no assurance that any exemption from registration
under the Securities Act will be available or, if available, will allow such
person to dispose of, or otherwise transfer, all or any portion of the
Securities.
4.7 Access
to Information.
The
Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management
and financial affairs with the Company’s management and the opportunity to
inspect Company facilities and such books and records and material contracts
as
the Purchaser deemed necessary to its determination to purchase the
Shares.
4.8 Purchaser’s
Liquidity.
The
Purchaser (i) has no need for liquidity in the Purchaser’s investment,
(ii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment
in the
Securities for an indefinite period and (iii) at the present time,
can
afford a complete loss of such investment. The Purchaser’s current commitments
to illiquid investments is not disproportionate to the Purchaser’s net worth,
and the Purchaser’s investment in the Securities will not cause such commitment
to become disproportionate.
4.9 Offer
and Sale.
The
Purchaser understands that the sale of the Securities has not been registered
under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. The Purchaser
was not offered or sold the Securities, directly or indirectly, by means
of any
form of general solicitation or general advertisement, including (i) any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio
or
(ii) any seminar or other meeting whose attendees had been invited
by
general solicitation or general advertising.
8
4.10 Risks.
The
Purchaser is aware that the Securities are highly speculative and that there
can
be no assurance as to what return, if any, there may be. The Purchaser is
aware
that the Company may issue additional securities in the future which could
result in the dilution of the Purchaser’s ownership interest in the
Company.
4.11 Reliance.
The
Purchaser has relied only upon the information provided to him or her in
writing
by the Company, or information from books and records of the Company. No
oral
representations have been made or oral information furnished to Purchaser
or his
or her advisor(s) by the Company in connection with the offering of
Shares which
were not contained therein or were inconsistent therewith.
4.12 Investment
Entity.
The
Purchaser, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, is authorized
and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Securities; such entity
has its principal place of business as set forth on the signature page hereof;
and such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
the
Shares. The Purchaser, if an individual, is at least 21 years of age.
4.13 Accredited
Investor.
The
Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D
promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.14 Foreign
Purchasers.
If the
Purchaser is not a citizen of the U.S. such Purchaser hereby represents that
such Purchaser is satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of such
Purchaser’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the
Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements
with such Purchaser’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any
foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any
governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the
income tax and other tax consequences, if any, which may be relevant to the
purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. Such
Purchaser’s subscription and payment for, and continued ownership of, the
Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of such
Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

the
Securities held by the Purchaser to agree to take and hold such Securities
subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this
Section 7.
7.2 Restrictive
Legends.
Each
certificate representing the Securities, and any other securities issued
in
respect of the Securities upon any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event (except as otherwise
permitted by the provisions of this Section 7), shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following
form:
(a) “THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED
OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
SUCH
ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144
UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER
OF
THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH
SALE,
TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.”
(b) Any
other
legends required by applicable state securities laws.
11
The
Company need not register a transfer of legended Securities and may also
instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Securities,
unless the conditions specified in each of the foregoing legends are
satisfied.
7.3 Removal
of Legend and Transfer Restrictions.
Any
legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection 7.2(a) and the stop
transfer instructions with respect to such legended Securities shall be removed,
and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder
of
such Securities, if such Securities are registered under the Securities Act
and
a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities
Act
is available or if such holder satisfies the requirements of Rule
144(k).

broker’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction. Each Purchaser
agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for
any
commission or compensation in the nature of a finders’ or broker’s fee (and any
asserted liability) for which the Purchaser or any of its officers, partners,
employees, or representatives is responsible. The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Purchaser from any liability for any commission or
compensation in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee (and any asserted
liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, employees or
representatives is responsible.
8.9 Severability.
If one
or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under
applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith.
In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable
replacement for such provision, then such provision(s) shall be excluded
from
this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if
such
provision(s) were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with
its
terms.

incurred in connection with the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement.

8.11 Delays
or Omissions.
No
delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any
Purchaser, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement,
shall
impair any such right, power, or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be
a
waiver of any such breach or default, or any acquiescence therein, or of
or in
any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver
of any
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default
theretofore or thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind of character on a Purchaser’s part of
any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on a Purchaser’s part
of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and

that
all remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded
to a
Purchaser, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees,
costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party
may
be entitled.
8.13 Exculpation
Among Purchasers.
Each
Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or

its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees

Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken
by
any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

the essence of this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto and their
agents,

publicize, or knowingly permit, authorize, or instigate disclosure or
publication of this Agreement or its terms or contents to any person, firm,
organization, or entity of any type, whether public or private, for any reason,
