5.Disclosure of Information. The Investor has been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company, including information filed with the SEC and made public on XXXXX, specifically the risk factors included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management, financial affairs, and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and Warrants with the Company's management and has had an opportunity to inspect the Company's facilities, and the Investor has utilized such access to the Investor's satisfaction.

The Investor can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time and can afford a complete loss of such investment.
7.Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor's representations as expressed in this Agreement. The Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Investor must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements, including but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor's control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
8.No Public Market. The Investor understands that a very limited public market exists for the Company's
Common Stock, but no market exists for any other securities issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities. Accordingly, Investor understands that Investor must hold the Securities indefinitely and may never be able to resell them for their original purchase price, or at all, and thus may lose Investor's entire investment in the Company.
9.Legends. The Investor understands that the Securities and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Securities may bear one or both of the following legends:
(a) | THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, AND IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
