In order to induce the Company to sell and issue the Shares to the Purchasers under one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company, and covenants with the Company, that, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date (except as otherwise set forth herein):
(a) (i) Such Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and to purchase the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
1
(ii) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Purchaser's organizational documents (if any) and no further consent or authorization is required by the Purchaser.
(iii) The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser.
(iv) The Transaction Documents, and each of them, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound.
(c) The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
(e) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have been offered in direct communication between Purchaser and the Company and not through any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented in any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(f) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has given it access to all information relating to the Company’s business that it has requested.

(g) The Purchaser acknowledges that it has, by reason of its business and financial experience, such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that it is capable of (i) evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and making an informed investment decision in connection therewith; (ii) protecting its own interest; and (iii) bearing the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify the Company thereof and to hold the Company and the officers, directors and employees thereof harmless against all liability, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation or any breach of warranties of the undersigned contained in this Agreement, or arising as a result of the sale or distribution of the Shares by the undersigned in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any other applicable law, either federal or state. This subscription and the representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Purchaser.
(h) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(i) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares will be subject to lock-up provisions (the “Lock-up”) contained herein.

(j) The Purchaser is aware that the Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Shares, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred securities under the Securities Act. Further, the Purchaser understands and acknowledges that any certificates evidencing the Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS (COLLECTIVELY, “SECURITIES LAWS”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH SECURITIES LAWS.
(k) The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company has neither filed a registration statement with the SEC or any state authorities for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and in the absence of such a registration statement or exemption, the Purchaser may have to hold the Shares indefinitely and may be unable to liquidate any of them in case of an emergency.
3
(l) The Purchaser understands that it is liable for its own tax liabilities and has obtained no tax advice from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
