REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER: The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
a)
Purchase for Own Account. Purchaser represents that he is acquiring the Shares solely for his own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Shares or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.
b)
Ability to Bear Economic Risk. Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk, and represents that he is able, without materially impairing his financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of his investment.
c)
Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has been furnished with such financial and other information concerning the Company, the directors and officers of the Company, and the business and proposed business of the Company as the Purchaser considers necessary in connection with the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares. As a result, the Purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of the Company and has discussed with officers of the Company any questions the Purchaser may have had with respect thereto.

d)
The Purchaser understands:
(i)
The risks involved in this investment, including the speculative nature of the investment;
(ii)
The financial hazards involved in this investment, including the risk of losing the Purchaser’s entire investment;
(iii)
The lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Shares; and
(iv)
The tax consequences of this investment.
The Purchaser has consulted with the Purchaser’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the Purchaser in the Shares and the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.
e)
Shares Part of Private Placement. The Purchaser has been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or qualified under the securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Shares is to be effected and the Shares will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, and under any applicable state blue sky authority. The Purchaser understands that the Company is relying in part on the Purchaser’s representations as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Purchaser’s representations, the Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined event. The Purchaser has no such intention.
f)
Purchaser Not Affiliated with Company. The Purchaser, either alone or with the Purchaser’s professional advisers (i) are unaffiliated with, have no equity interest in, and are not compensated by, the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly; (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares; and (iii) has the capacity to protect the Purchaser’s own interests in connection with the Purchaser’s proposed investment in the Shares.
g)
Further Limitations on Disposition. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Shares are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore, if the Company, in its sole discretion, chooses to issue any certificates reflecting the ownership interest in the Shares, those certificates will contain a restrictive legend substantially similar to the following:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Page 3 of 8
Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:
(i)
There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(ii)
Purchaser shall have obtained the consent of the Company and notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such Purchaser to a partner (or retired partner) of Purchaser, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Purchasers hereunder as long as the consent of the Company is obtained.
