a. Authorization; Enforcement. The Holder has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Holder and no further action is required by the Holder. This Agreement has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Holder and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and 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) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

b. Tax Advisors. The Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

c. Information Regarding Holder. Holder is an "accredited investor", as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act, is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased securities of private companies in private placements in the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Holder to utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. Holder has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Preferred Shares. Holder is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.

i. Independent Nature of the Holder’s Obligations and Rights.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto or any Other Holder pursuant to any Other Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder or any Other Holder as, and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and any Other Holder are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents, any other agreement or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents and any Other Agreement. The decision of the Holder to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Exchange Documents has been made by the Holder independently of any Other Holder. The Holder acknowledges that no Other Holder has acted as agent for the Holder in connection with the Holder making its acquisition hereunder and that no Other Holder will be acting as agent of the Holder in connection with monitoring the Holder’s Securities or enforcing its rights under the Exchange Documents. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any of the Other Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. To the extent that any of the Other Holders and the Company enter into the same or similar documents, all such matters are solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of the Holder, and would be solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Holder or any Other Holder. For clarification purposes only and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents include only the transaction between the Company and the Holder and do not include any other transaction between the Company and any Other Holder.
