Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if

regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of
