its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof except pursuant to
sales registered under the 0000 Xxx.
b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an "accredited investor" as
that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Preferred
Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws
and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer's
compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the
Preferred Shares.
d. Information. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished
with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Preferred Shares
which have been requested by the Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and have received
complete and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. The Buyer understands
that its investment in the Preferred Shares involves a high degree of risk. The
Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of
the Preferred Shares.
e. Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Preferred Shares or
the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Preferred Shares, nor have
such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Preferred Shares.
f. Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that (i) except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Preferred Shares, the
Conversion Shares, and the Damage Shares have not been and are not being
registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be
transferred unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) the Buyer
shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the
securities to be sold or transferred
Page 56 of 89
may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (ii)
any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the
1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further,
if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of such securities under
circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) may
require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities (other than pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement) under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.
g. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Preferred Shares and, until
such time as the Conversion Shares and the Damage Shares (collectively, the
"Registrable Securities") have been registered under the 1933 Act as
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the stock certificates
representing the Registrable Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO
THE BORROWER THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO
RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. ANY SUCH SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER
MUST ALSO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Preferred Shares or any
Registrable Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required
by state securities laws, (a) the sale of such Preferred Shares or Registrable
Securities is registered under the 1933 Act, or (b) in connection with a sale
transaction, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in
form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect
that a public sale or transfer of the Debenture or such Registrable Securities
may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (c) such holder provides
the Company with reasonable assurances that the Preferred Shares or such
Registrable Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or
Page 57 of 89
a successor rule thereto) without any restriction as to the number of securities
acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.
h. Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer and is a valid and
binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject

e. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
