(a)
Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Purchaser is purchasing the Notes issuable upon exercise thereof for its own account and not with a view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company.

The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such stockholder approval within thirty (30) days following the date on which the number of Reserved Amount exceeds the Authorized and Reserved Shares.
(d)
Corporate Existence. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction: (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly-traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Capital Market, American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange.
