2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER. The Purchaser represents
and warrants that:
(a) DUE AUTHORIZATION. The Purchaser is duly authorized to
purchase the Shares. This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser,
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms
except as may be limited by (i) the effect of bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors
