hereby represents and warrants to ZBB as follows:
Section

Purchaser has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Purchase
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser, and
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in

other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by
general principles of equity.
Section
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own
Account. The Stock is being acquired by Purchaser for investment
for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to
the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. Purchaser further represents that he does not presently have any
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant any participation with respect to any of the
Stock.
Section
3.3 Investment
Experience. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). Purchaser is aware of ZBB’s business affairs and financial
condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about
ZBB to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Stock.
Purchaser has such business and financial experience as is required to give him
the ability to protect his own interests in connection with the purchase of the
Stock.
Section
3.4 Ability to Bear
Risk. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of his
investment in the Stock for an indefinite period of time and Purchaser
understands that the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and
cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser acknowledges
that he could bear a complete or significant loss of his investment in the
Stock.
Section
3.5 Access to
Information. Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Stock
and has had full access to such other information concerning ZBB as Purchaser
has requested.
Section
3.6 Restricted
Securities. Purchaser understands that the Stock is
“restricted” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws inasmuch as
it is being acquired from ZBB in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that, pursuant to these laws and applicable regulations, Purchaser must hold
the Stock indefinitely unless it is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from
such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser
further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is
available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including the timing
and manner of sale, the holding period for the Stock, and on requirements
relating to ZBB which are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which ZBB is under
no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. In this connection,
Purchaser represents that he is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
Section
3.7 Legends.
Purchaser understands that the Stock, and any securities issued in respect
thereof or exchange therefor, may bear the following legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE
