REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each
Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:
(a) Investment
Purpose.
Each
Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and
not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale
or
distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under
the
Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in
accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering
such
Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. Such Buyer does
not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with
any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
(b) Accredited
Investor Status.
Each
Buyer is an “Accredited
Investor”
as
that
term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
2
(c) Reliance
on Exemptions.
Each
Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in
reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United
States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in
part
upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of
such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the
Securities.
(d) Information.
Each
Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have been furnished
with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
Company and information he deemed material to making an informed investment
decision regarding his purchase of the Securities, which have been requested
by
such Buyer. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer
or
its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect
such
Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained
in Section 3 below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the
Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic
bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from
the
Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. Each
Buyer
has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of
the
Securities.
(e) No
Governmental Review.
Each
Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other
government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation
or
endorsement of the Securities, or the fairness or suitability of the investment
in the Securities, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits
of the offering of the Securities.
(f) Transfer
or Resale.
Each
Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement:
(i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale,
sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder,
(B)
such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a
generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold,
assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) such Buyer provides the
Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker
representation letters) that such Securities can be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144(k), or Rule 144A promulgated under
the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively,
“Rule
144”),
in
each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; (ii) any
sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in
accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not
applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules
and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions
of
any exemption thereunder.
3
(g) Legends.
Each
Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 2(g),
of
a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A
VIEW
TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED
IN
THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER
THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Certificates
evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the
legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under
the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant
to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule
144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal
opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date (the
“Effective
Date”)
of a
Registration Statement if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the
removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of the Convertible
Debentures are exercised by a Buyer that is not an Affiliate of the Company
(a
“Non-Affiliated
Buyer”)
at a
time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale
of
the Conversion Shares such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all
legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time
as
such legend is no longer required under this Section 2(g), it will, no later
than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Non-Affiliated Buyer
to
the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing
Conversion Shares, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day,
the
“Legend
Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Non-Affiliated Buyer a certificate
representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to
any
transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section. Each Buyer acknowledges that the Company’s agreement
hereunder to remove all legends from Conversion Shares is not an affirmative
statement or representation that such Conversion Shares are freely tradable.
Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with the other Buyers, agrees that the
removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities
as
set forth in this Section 3(g) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that
the buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with
the
plan of distribution set forth therein.
4
(h) Authorization,
Enforcement.
This
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf
of such Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable
in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to,
or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and
remedies.
(i) Receipt
of Documents.
Each
Buyer and his or its counsel has received and read in their entirety: (i) this
Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein and
the Transaction Documents (as defined herein); (ii) all due diligence and other
information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such

investment in the Company; and each Buyer has relied on the information
contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents, literature,
memorandum or prospectus.

Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers.
If the
Buyer(s) is a corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an
individual person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been
organized for the specific purpose of purchasing the Securities and is not
prohibited from doing so.
(k) No
Legal Advice From the Company.
Each
Buyer acknowledges, that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and
the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel
and investment and tax advisors. Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel
and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or
any
of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with
respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or
the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
