follows:
3.1 Authorization. It has full power and authority to execute
and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and this

binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors.
3.2 Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. The execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby will not (a) conflict with (i) any provision of any
governing instrument applicable to such Co-Investor, or (ii) any material
permit, franchise, judgment, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to
such Co-Investor or its business or property, or (b) result in any material
breach of any terms or provisions of, or constitute a material default under,
any material contract, agreement or instrument to which such Co-Investor is a

-3-
3.3 Status and Investment Intent. (a) It is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and it is
acquiring Holdings Securities hereunder for its own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to, or with any present intention of,
distribution thereof except as is otherwise provided in this Agreement with
respect to Holdings Securities, provided, that the disposition of its property
shall at all times be within its control. Such Co-Investor understands that it
must bear the economic risk of an investment in Holdings Securities for an
indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the offering and sale of
Holdings Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and,
therefore, Holdings Securities cannot be sold unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. A legend to this effect shall be set forth on the face of each
certificate evidencing Holdings Securities.
(b) It has sufficient knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in Holdings Securities and it is capable of bearing
the economic risks of such investment, including a complete loss of its
investment. Such Co-Investor has not relied in connection with this investment
upon any representations, warranties or agreements other than those set forth in
this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement.
3.4 Access to Information. It has been given the opportunity
to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from,
Holdings and its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the
purchase of Holdings Securities and to obtain any additional information which
Holdings possesses or can reasonably acquire.
4. Representations and Warranties of Holdings.
Holdings represents and warrants to the Co-Investors as
follows:
4.1 Authorization. Holdings has full corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Holdings and are valid, binding and enforceable
against Holdings in accordance with their respective terms, except that such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors.
4.2 Capitalization. The authorized capitalization of Holdings
at closing will consist of (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which
325,000 shares are issued and outstanding, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, of which 2,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A
Preferred Stock and are issued and outstanding. Annex I attached hereto sets
forth the name of each holder of Common Stock and Preferred Stock and the number
of shares and percentage ownership of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to be
held by each such person after giving effect to (i) the sales thereof hereunder
and (ii) the other sales thereof being effected on the Closing Date. Other than
as set forth on Annex I, there are no other options or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock outstanding on the date hereof. Other than the Stockholders

rights with respect to the Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby will not (a) conflict with (i) any provision of any
governing instrument applicable to Holdings, or (ii) any material permit,

or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, any material contract,
agreement or instrument to which Holdings is a party or by which Holdings is
bound.

organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of Delaware, (b) is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation and authorized to do business in other
jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or property makes such
qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify would not have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations or condition, financial or
otherwise, of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (c) has the
corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted.
4.5 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The copies of
the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Holdings and all amendments to
each, which are annexed hereto as Exhibit A, are true, correct and complete.
4.6 Valid Issuance. Holdings Securities being issued and sold
hereunder by Holdings have been duly authorized and will, upon consummation of
the transactions contemplated herein, be validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable.
