sale or with a view to distribution of the Securities or any part thereof, has

otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same,
and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such
intention.

(b) Ability to Bear Economic

involves a high degree of risk, and represents that he is able, without
materially impairing his financial condition, to hold the Securities for an
indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of his
investment.
(c) Further Limitations on
Disposition. Purchaser further acknowledges that the
Securities are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore,

(THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Without
in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Purchaser further
agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities
unless and until:
(i) There
is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed
disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration
Statement; or
(ii) Purchaser
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have
furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding
the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, Purchaser
shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration
under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration
statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such
Purchaser to a partner (or retired partner) of Purchaser, or transfers by gift,
will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors,
if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof (including
the Investor Rights Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement) to the same
extent as if they were Purchasers hereunder.
(d) Purchaser
Authorization. The Purchaser, if not an individual, is
empowered and duly authorized to enter into this Agreement under any governing
document, partnership agreement, trust instrument, pension plan, charter,
certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision or the like; this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser enforceable against
the Purchaser in accordance with its terms; and the person signing this
Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser is empowered and duly authorized to do so
by the governing document or trust instrument, pension plan, charter,
certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision, board of directors or stockholder
resolution, or the like.

Designation. Purchaser will be provided with a copy of the
Certificate of Designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a copy
