FNG within a reasonable time after notice of a claim fails to defend such
Shareholder, such Shareholder shall be entitled to undertake the defense,
compromise or settlement of such claim at the expense of and for the account

risk of FNG. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, if
there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely
affect a Shareholder, such Shareholder shall have the right, at its own cost
and
expense to defend, compromise or settle such claim. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, FNG shall not, without the
Shareholder’s Representative’s written consent, settle or compromise any claim

ARTICLE
XII
Investment
Statements
12.1 Investment
Intent.
Each
Shareholder acknowledges that the FNG Common Stock being issued to such
Shareholder (including any and all shares of FNG Common Stock issued as
Contingent Consideration) are not registered under the Securities Act or the
securities laws of the United States or any state therein and that the
Shareholder is acquiring such FNG Shares for such Shareholder’s own account, not
as a nominee or agent, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution
or resale thereof. Such Shareholder is a sophisticated investor with (either
alone or with his, her or its Shareholder Representative, if any) such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters that such Shareholder (either
alone or with his, her or its Shareholder Representative, if any), is capable
of
evaluating the risks and merits of such Shareholder’s investment in the FNG
Shares and has the capacity to protect such Shareholder’s own interests. Such
Shareholder is in a financial position to hold the FNG Shares for an indefinite
period of time and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete
loss of his, her or its investment in the FNG Shares. Such Shareholder
acknowledges that the Buyer has given him, her or it (and such Shareholder’s
Advisor, if any) the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from,
the officers and management employees of the Buyer and its subsidiaries, and
to
obtain additional information about the assets, liabilities, prospects,
indebtedness, business and financial condition of the Buyer and its
subsidiaries, in order to evaluate the investment in the FNG Shares contemplated
hereby, and such Shareholder (and such Shareholder’s Advisor, if any) has
obtained, in the judgment of such Shareholder, sufficient information from
the
Buyer to evaluate the merits and risks of such investment.
Page 18
of 43 | Share Exchange Agreement
| Final Execution Copy
12.2 Restricted
Securities.
Each
Shareholder understands that the FNG Shares are being issued to such
Shareholder, are characterized as “restricted securities” under United States
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Buyer in a
transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may not be resold without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 unless an exemption from registration
thereunder is available. Such Shareholder represents that it is familiar with
Rule 144 and Regulation S, both promulgated under the Securities Act as
presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby
and
by the Securities Act.
12.3 Residence.
The
jurisdiction of organization of such Shareholder that is not a natural person
and the residence of such Shareholder that is a natural person are set forth
on
Disclosure
Schedule 12.3
hereto.
12.4 Accredited
Status.
Such
Shareholder, if listed on Disclosure
Schedule 12.3
under
the heading “Accredited Investors,” is an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such Shareholder, if
listed on Disclosure
Schedule 12.3
under
the heading “Non-Accredited Investors,” is not an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
12.5 Shareholder
Investment Experience.
Except
as set forth on Disclosure
Schedule 12.5,
each
Shareholder, if any, listed on Disclosure
Schedule 12.5 believes
that he, she or it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in
the FNG Shares, and he, she or it therefore does not plan to use the services
of
any Shareholder Advisor(as such term is defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation
D
promulgated under the Securities Act) in connection with evaluating such merits
and risks. As evidence of his, her or its knowledge and experience in these
matters, such Shareholder agrees to execute an Offeree Questionnaire in a form
typical for transactions of such type and acceptable to Buyer in its sole
discretion. Shareholder understands that based upon Buyer’s review of such
information Buyer may differ with such belief, and may require, as a condition
to offering Shareholder an opportunity to invest in the FNG Shares, that
Shareholder engage the services of a Shareholder Advisor to advise him, her
or
it in a review of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Miscellaneous
13.1
Brokerage
Fees.
The
parties hereto hereby represent and warrant to one another that there has been
no finder, broker or consultant involved in the negotiations leading up to

hereby.
