SECTION 4.
Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser
Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Corporation that:
4.1 Authorization. The Purchaser has full right, power and authority to
enter into this Agreement, and such agreement constitutes its valid and legally
binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the
extent the indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement may be limited
by applicable federal or state securities laws.
4.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the
Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser's representation to the Corporation,
which by such Purchaser's execution of this Agreement the Purchaser hereby
confirms, that the Stock to be received by such 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 resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the
Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser
further represents that such Purchaser 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
Stock.
4.3 Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser, individually or through its
investment advisor believes it has received all the information it considers
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Stock. The
Purchaser further represents that, individually or through its investment
advisor it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the
Corporation regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Stock and
the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Corporation.
4.4 Investment Experience. The Purchaser acknowledges that it can bear the
economic risk of its investment, and has, individually or through its investment
advisor such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Stock. If
other than an individual, the Purchaser also represents it has not been
organized for the purpose of acquiring the Stock.
3
4.5 Accredited Investor. The Investor is an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D as presently in effect.
4.6 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Stock it is
purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Corporation in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under
the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the Securities or an available exemption from
registration under the Act, the Stock must be held indefinitely. In this
connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as
presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the Act, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current
information about the Corporation be available to the public.
4.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, the Purchaser further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Stock unless:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) it is made in compliance with Rule 144; or
(c) the Purchaser shall have (i) notified the Corporation of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Corporation with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (ii)
provided a written agreement from the transferee for the benefit of the
Corporation to be bound by the Section 4, and (iii) if requested by the
Corporation, such Purchaser shall have furnished the Corporation with an opinion
of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that such disposition
will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that
the Corporation will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made
pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, transfers to principals of
or investment advisory clients shall be permitted without any consent, statement
or legal opinion.
4.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Stock
it is purchasing may bear the following legend:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR
SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
4
STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
4.9 Purchaser Counsel. The Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser and,
if applicable, its advisors has had the opportunity to review this Agreement,
the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement with such Purchaser's own legal counsel. Purchaser is relying
solely on such Purchaser's legal counsel and not on the Corporation's legal

SECTION 7.
Covenant to Register
7.1 For purposes of this Section 7, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) The terms "register", "registered", and "registration" refer to
a registration under the Securities Act effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement or similar documents in compliance with the Securities
Act or an amendment thereto, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of
such registration statement, document or amendment thereto.
(2) The term "Registrable Securities" means the Stock issued to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement and any securities of the Corporation or
securities of any successor corporation issued as, or issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued
as, a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of, such Stock.
7.2 If the Corporation proposes to register (including for this purpose a
registration effected by the Corporation for shareholders other than the
Purchaser) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in
connection with a public offering of such securities (other than a registration
on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or other limited purpose form or a registration effected
pursuant to agreements to register in effect on the date hereof) and the
Registrable Securities have not heretofore been included in a registration
statement, which remains effective, the Corporation shall, at such time,
promptly give the Purchasers written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of any Purchaser given within 10 days after receipt of such
notice by such Purchaser, the Corporation shall cause to be registered under the
Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that the Purchaser has
requested to be registered. However, the Corporation shall have no obligation
under this Section 7.2 to the extent that, with respect to a public offering
registration, any underwriter of such public offering reasonably requests that
the Registrable Securities or a portion thereof be excluded therefrom.
6
7.3 The Purchaser will furnish to the Corporation in connection with any
registration under this Section 7 such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities and other securities of the Corporation held by it, and
the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser.
7.4 With respect to the including of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement pursuant to this Section 7, all fees, costs and expenses
of and incidental to such registration, inclusion and public offering shall be
borne by the Corporation; provided, however, that any security holders
participating in such registration shall bear their pro rata share of the
underwriting discounts and commissions, if any.
7.5 The rights to cause the Corporation to register all or any portion of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7 may be assigned by the
Purchasers to a transferee or assignee of the Registrable Securities. Within a
reasonable time after such transfer the Purchaser shall notify the Corporation
of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. Such assignment
shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under
the Securities Act. Any transferee asserting registration rights hereunder shall
be bound by the provision of this Section 7.
7.6 In connection with any primary offering involving an underwriting of
shares of the Corporation's common stock, the Corporation shall not be required
under this Section 7 to include any Purchaser's securities in such underwriting
unless such Purchaser accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon
between the Corporation and the underwriters selected by it, and then only in
such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Corporation.
7
7.7 The Corporation may suspend the effectiveness of a registration
statement required by this Section 7 for a period of not more than 45 days if
the Corporation is engaged in confidential negotiations or other confidential
business activities the disclosure of which (in the reasonable opinion of
outside counsel to the Corporation) would be required in such registration
statement and would not be required if such registration statement were not
filed and effective.
SECTION 8.
Legend on Stock
Until the registration contemplated by Section 7 above is declared
effective with respect to the stock, each certificate representing the Stock
shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the
following form (in addition to any legend required under any applicable state
securities laws):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID
ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Upon request of a holder of Stock the Corporation shall remove the
foregoing legend or issue to such holder a new certificate therefor free of any
such legend, if the Corporation shall have received either an opinion of counsel
or a "no-action" letter of the SEC, in either case reasonable satisfactory in
substance to the Corporation and its counsel, to the effect that such legend is
no longer required.
