This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Seller;

As an inducement to the Seller to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is materially true and correct on the date hereof and will be materially true and correct on the Closing Date:
5.1 The Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Purchaser;
5.2 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the observance and performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement on the part of the Purchaser to be observed and performed will not constitute a violation of applicable law or any provision of any contract or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, writ, injunction, decree statute, rule or regulation applicable to it;
5.3 No insolvency proceedings of any character, including without limitation, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, composition or arrangement with creditors, voluntary or involuntary, designating the Purchaser as the bankrupt or the insolvent, are pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened and the Purchaser has not made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, nor has Purchaser taken any action with a view to, or which would constitute the basis for, the institution of any such insolvency proceedings;

5.6 The Purchaser has relied solely on the reports of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in making its decision to purchase the Shares.
2
5.7 The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares solely for his own account (or that of a trust established for the benefit of his children) for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Shares or any portion thereof and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Shares or any portion thereof in any transaction other than a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act ”). Purchaser also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Shares is being purchased, and will be held, for the Purchaser’s account (or that of a trust established for the benefit of his children) only, and neither in whole or in part for any other person. The Purchaser either has a pre-existing business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons or by reason of the Purchaser’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Purchaser’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and to protect the Purchaser’s own interests in connection with this transaction.
5.8 The Purchaser realizes that the purchase of the Shares will be a highly speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk, and the Purchaser is able, without impairing financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on the Purchaser’s investment.
5.9 The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Act and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Shares, and the Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of his investment.

6.2 The Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements, obligations and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or on the Closing Date hereof;
6.3 No action, suit, or proceeding shall be pending or threatened before any federal, state and foreign court, commission, governmental body, regulatory or administrative agency, authority or tribunal wherein an unfavorable injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, or charge would (a) prevent consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) cause any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be rescinded following consummation; and
