further consent or authorization of such Purchaser is required. This
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered,
a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser enforceable against such
Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof.
3.3.2 The Purchaser is, and will be at the time of the execution of
this Agreement, an accredited investor, as such term is defined in
Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the 1933 Act, is
experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a
speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States
publicly-owned companies in the past and, with its representatives, has such
knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to
enable such Purchaser to utilize the information made available by the
Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents
a speculative investment. The Purchaser has the authority and is duly and
legally qualified to purchase and own shares of the Company. The Purchaser

afford a complete loss thereof. The information set forth on the signature
page hereto regarding the Purchaser is accurate.

with, the public sale or any distribution thereof.
3.3.4 The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares
have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state
securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not
require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of
the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained herein), and
that such Acquired Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent
disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state
securities laws or is exempt from such registration. In any event, and
subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Purchaser may
enter into lawful hedging transactions in the course of hedging the position
they assume and the Purchaser may also enter into lawful short positions or
other derivative transactions relating to the Acquired Shares, or interests
in the Acquired Shares, and deliver the Acquired Shares, or interests in the
Acquired Shares, to close out their short or other positions or otherwise
settle other transactions, or loan or pledge the Acquired Shares, or
interests in the Acquired Shares, to third parties who in turn may dispose
of these Acquired Shares.
