Purchase and Sale of Securities.

(a) Purchase and Sale of Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, 2,647,144 shares (“Shares”) of common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company for aggregate consideration of FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY AND NO/100 ($555,670.00) DOLLARS (the “Transaction”).

The remainder of the Purchase Price, which is TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY AND 74/100 ($225,850.74) DOLLARS (the “Remaining Consideration”), shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller at Closing.

(b) Closing. The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall take place at such place, on such date and at such time as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. At the Closing: (i) the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser one or more certificates evidencing the Shares; (ii) Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller $230,404.75 by check or wire transfer; and (iii) each of the parties to this Agreement shall execute this Agreement and any and all additional documents and agreements, provide any and all additional consents and approvals, and take all such other actions as are required under this Agreement to complete the transactions contemplated hereby.

Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

(a) Authority; Validity and Effect of Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming it has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, in accordance with its terms.

(b) No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser nor the performance by Purchaser of his obligations hereunder will: (i) violate any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, applicable to Purchaser or any of the properties or assets of Purchaser; or (ii) violate, breach, be in conflict with or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or permit the termination of any provision of, or result in the termination of, the acceleration of the maturity of or the acceleration of the performance of any obligation of Purchaser under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any properties, assets or business of Purchaser under, any material contract or any order, judgment or decree to which Purchaser is a party or by which he or any of his assets or properties is bound or encumbered, except for such violations, breaches, conflicts, defaults or other occurrences which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on his obligation to perform his covenants under this Agreement.

(c) Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(d) Investment Intent. The Shares are being acquired for Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. Purchaser acknowledges that he is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and that his overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that he does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or third person with respect to any of the Shares.

(e) Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares: (i) are “restricted securities” as such term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, (ii) have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law, and (iii) may not be, directly or indirectly, sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption therefrom. In any case where such an exemption is relied upon by Purchaser from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of such state securities laws, Purchaser shall furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel stating that the proposed sale or other disposition of such Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not result in any violation of any applicable state securities laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale, such counsel and opinion to be satisfactory to the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

(f) Investment Experience. Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial, legal, tax and business matters in general, and investments in securities in particular, that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares, and he has made such investigations in connection herewith as he has deemed necessary or desirable so as to make an informed investment decision without relying upon the Seller or the Company for financial, legal, tax, business or investment advice related to this investment. To the extent necessary, Purchaser has retained, at his own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of executing this Agreement and owning the Shares, and Purchaser’s advisors and representatives have investigated Purchaser’s investment in the Company to the extent he and they have deemed advisable.

(g) Access to Information. Purchaser understands that the Company files reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchaser has had access to and has reviewed all documents, reports, records and other information relating to the Company that Purchaser has deemed necessary for Purchaser to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to ask representatives of the Company questions and request additional information regarding the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, that he has had any and all such questions and requests answered to his satisfaction, and that he understands the risks and other considerations relating to his investment in the Shares.

(h) No General Solicitation. Purchaser is not aware of, and in deciding to purchase the Shares is in no way relying upon, and did not become aware of the opportunity to purchase the Shares through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media, or broadcast over television, radio or the internet.

(i) Broker’s and Finder’s Fees. Purchaser has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any investment banking fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finders fees in connection with the Transaction for which Purchaser or Seller has or could have any liability.
