hereby represents and warrants to the Buyers as follows:
3.1. Due

as
presently conducted and as presently contemplated. Seller is duly qualified
to
transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the

Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery
and
performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by Seller and is the valid and binding obligation of Seller,
enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except
as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, specific performance,
injunctive or other equitable remedies.
4. Representations
and Warranties of Buyer.
Each of
the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to Seller
as follows:
4.1. Due
Existence; Authority.
If
Buyer is a company, it is a duly organized legal entity, validly existing and
in
good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has the

and
to perform its obligations hereunder. If Buyer is a partnership, syndicate
or

and

This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and is the valid and
binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws generally affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights, specific performance, injunctive or other
equitable remedies.
4.3. Investment
Representations.
Buyer
is acquiring the Common Stock and Warrants (the “Securities”), and any capital
stock issuable upon exercise of the Securities, for Buyer’s own account, for
investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution of such securities or any part thereof. Buyer (i) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that it is capable
of
evaluating the merits and risks involved in purchasing the Securities, (ii)
is
able to bear the economic risks (including, a complete loss) involving in
purchasing the Securities and has the adequate means of providing for its
current needs and contingencies, (iii) has had the opportunity to ask questions
of, and receive answers from, Seller and persons acting on Seller’s behalf
concerning Seller’s business, management, and financial affairs and the terms
and conditions of the Securities. Buyer’s jurisdiction of residence is set forth
on Exhibit
A.
4.4 33
Act.
The
Buyer acknowledges that all documents, records and books pertaining to this
investment have been made available for inspection by him, his attorney and/or
his accountant as set forth in Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities
Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and that all records and books of the Seller
were available during reasonable business hours at the Seller’s principal place
of business. The Buyer and/or his adviser(s) have had a reasonable opportunity
to ask questions of and receive answers from the Seller, or a person or persons
acting on its behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of
the
Securities, and to obtain additional information, to the extent possessed or
obtainable without unreasonable effort or expense. All such questions have
been
answered to the full satisfaction of the Buyer.
4.5 Accredited
Investor; Residence.
The
Buyer is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D under the Act. The
jurisdiction referred to under “Address” in Exhibit A attached hereto is Buyer’s
residence or place of business and is not created or used solely for the purpose
of acquiring the Securities and Buyer is not purchasing the Securities for
the
account or benefit of any person in any jurisdiction other than such
jurisdiction;
4.6 THE
BUYER RECOGNIZES THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE SELLER IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES
A
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, AND THAT PURCHASERS OF SECURITIES COULD LOSE THEIR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT.
4.7 Certain
Securities Matters.
In
reliance upon the Buyer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement
(including Appendix A and B to this Agreement), neither the offering nor the
sale of the Securities has been registered under the Act or any state securities
laws or regulations. The Buyer was not offered or sold the Securities, directly
or indirectly, by means of any form of general solicitation or general
advertising, including the following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice,
or
other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium
or
broadcast over television or radio; or (ii) to the knowledge of the Buyer,
any
seminar or meeting whose attendees had been invited by any general advertising.
There is no public market for the Securities and the Seller is under no
obligation to register the Securities on the Buyer’s behalf or to assist the
Buyer in complying with any exemption from registration (other than as set
forth
in the Registration Rights Agreement). Buyer
has
not received or been provided with a prospectus, offering memorandum or sales
or
advertising literature and Buyer’s decision to purchase the Securities was not
based upon and Buyer has not relied upon any verbal or written representations
as to fact made by Seller or any other person but that Buyer’s decision was
based upon the information about Seller which is publicly
available.
3
4.8 Liquidity.
The
Buyer must hold the Securities indefinitely unless the sale or transfer thereof
is subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration
is available. The Buyer may not subsequently sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise
transfer the Securities except: (i) pursuant to an effective registration
statement registering the securities under the Act and/or applicable state
securities laws, or (ii) pursuant to the opinion of counsel, which is
satisfactory to the Seller, that such registration under the Act and/or such
state securities laws is not required to effect such subsequent sale,
assignment, pledge, or other transfer.
4.9 Legend.
The
following legend referring to the foregoing restrictions will be set forth
on
certificates representing the Securities, as set forth below:
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH

OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933.
The
following additional legend shall be set forth on certificates representing
the

transfer, assign or pledge any Common Stock, Warrants or shares issued upon
exercise of the Warrants or any of its rights under this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement, without the Seller’s prior written consent, which
may be granted or withheld in the Seller’s absolute discretion, provided,
however, that the Seller’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the
case of sales, transfers, assignments or pledges in favor of an immediate family
member of a Buyer who is a natural person (including, trusts in favor of such
persons) or if the Buyer is a legal entity, in favor of an entity controlled
by
or under common control with such legal entity, provided, further, however,
that
if the Seller shall so grant its consent, that the Seller shall receive a
counterpart signature page to this Agreement agreeing to be bound hereby
(including, the Appendices and Exhibits hereto) and such other items and
opinions as the Seller shall reasonably request. A change of control of a Buyer
that is a legal entity (whether as a result of transfer of equity or as a result
of the change of a majority of its directors) shall be deemed a transfer
pursuant to this clause. A Buyer’s right as a Purchaser under the Registration
Rights Agreement (as such term is defined therein) may only be transferred
to a
transferee permitted pursuant to the terms of this Section.
Section
8.7. Certain
Voting Agreements.
Each
Buyer agrees with the Seller as follows:
(a) Each
Buyer agrees that it shall not vote any of its Securities in favor of the

of Directors unless such election or removal shall have been approved by a
majority of the holders of Common Stock prior to giving effect to the sale
of
Securities pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) In
connection with any matter that would require the vote of shareholders under
Delaware (or any other corporate) law, each Buyer agrees that it will cast
its
vote in the same manner as a majority of the holders of Common Stock prior
