3.2           Authorization; Enforcement.  This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to be executed by the Buyers and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by, and duly executed and delivered on behalf of, such Buyer.  This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to be executed by the Buyers constitutes the valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by:  (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws in effect that limit creditors’ rights generally; (ii) equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies; and (iii) principles of equity.

3.3           Securities Matters.  In connection with the Company’s compliance with applicable securities laws:

a.             Such Buyer understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemption and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Shares.

b.             Such Buyer is purchasing the Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes and not with a present view towards resale, except pursuant to sales exempted from registration under the 1933 Act, or registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

4

c.             Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and 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 Shares.  Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk.  Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.

3.4           Information.  Such Buyer has conducted its own due diligence examination of the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.  In connection with such investigation, such Buyer and its representatives (i) have reviewed the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three most recently concluded interim periods and the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K or Form 8-K/A filed in 2006, 2007, and 2008 and (ii) have been given an opportunity to ask questions, to the extent such Buyer considered necessary, and have received answers from, officers of the Company concerning the business, finances and operations of the Company and information relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, and (iii) have received or had an opportunity to obtain such additional information as it deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the purchase of the Shares.

Such Buyer may be required to hold the Shares indefinitely and the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or (ii) the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration.  Such Buyer understands that until such time as the resale of the Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, certificates evidencing the Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates evidencing such Shares):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”).  THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE CORPORATION.”

8

to the Company’s knowledge threatened, which challenges the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual Property necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated and to the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ current products and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual Property or other rights held by any person, except where any such infringement would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
