Upon payment by Buyer for the Shares to be sold by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, delivery of the Shares to be sold by Seller will pass valid title to such Shares, free and clear of any adverse claim within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, to Buyer without notice of an adverse claim.

(a) The Buyer represents and warrants to each Seller that: (i) it is an institutional "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; (ii) it has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company and it is able financially to bear the risks thereof; (iii) it has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with the Company's management; (iv) all documents, records, and information pertaining to its investment in the Common Stock and the Company that have been requested by it, have been made available or delivered to it prior to the date hereof; (v) its financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period of time and can bear the loss of the entire investment in such securities; and (vi) it is not purchasing the Shares as the result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising and confirms that its initial interest in purchasing the Shares resulted from a meeting scheduled at the request of the Company and not as a result of the Buyer's review of public filings by the Company.
(b) This Agreement is made in reliance upon the Buyer's express representations that (i) the Shares being purchased by Buyer are being acquired for Buyer's own account (and not on behalf of any other person or entity) for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the Shares or any portion thereof, (ii) the Buyer was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares and (iii) the Shares will not be sold by the Buyer without registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, or an exemption therefrom.
(c) The Buyer understands that the Shares being purchased by Buyer hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and are instead being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from such registration requirements. Buyer represents and warrants that it is not aware of any facts or legal basis for the position that the sale of Shares is not exempt from such registration requirements. If and to the extent that Buyer has any right to rescind the purchase of the Shares contemplated hereunder as a result of such purchase not being exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, Buyer waives any such rescission rights and agrees not to enforce any such rescission rights. The Buyer further understands that until such time as the Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or shall have been transferred in accordance with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required, stop transfer instructions shall be issued to the Company's transfer agent, if any, or, if the Company transfers its own securities, a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company with respect to such securities, and the certificate or certificates representing such securities shall bear a restrictive legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and referring to restrictions on the transferability and sale thereof.
The Buyer further understands that Buyer's representations and warranties hereunder will not preclude disposition of the Shares without registration thereof, in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"). The Buyer understands and acknowledges, however, that there is not now available, and may not be available when Buyer wishes to sell the Shares, or any portion thereof, the adequate current public information with respect to the Company which would permit offers or sales of such securities pursuant to Rule 144, and, therefore, compliance with the Securities Act or some other exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act may be required for any such offer or sale.
(d) Authorization. The Buyer has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms.
11
(e) Representations. There are no representations, warranties, agreements or undertakings of the Sellers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those set forth in this Agreement. The Buyer further represents and warrants that, in executing and delivering this Agreement, it has not relied on any statement or representation made by any legal counsel or investment advisor to, or other agent of, any of the Sellers.
