Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Investor.
The
Investor acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company
and the Placement Agent that:
4.1 The

-
4.2 The
Investor acknowledges that (a) no action has been or will be taken in any
jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company or the Placement Agent
that would permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of
offering materials in connection with the issue of the Securities in any
jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that purpose is
required, (b) if the Investor is outside the United States, it will comply with
all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it
purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or
distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense and (c) the
Placement Agent is not authorized to make and has not made any representation,
disclosure or use of any information in connection with the issue, placement,
purchase and sale of the Units, except as set forth or incorporated by reference
in the Base Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus
Supplement.
4.3 The
Investor acknowledges that (a) the Investor has full right, power, authority and
capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against
the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and
except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to
indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy
underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state
securities law, rule or regulation).
4.4 The
Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Disclosure Package, the
Prospectus or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with
the purchase and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment
advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in
connection with its purchase of Units.
4.5 Since
the date on which the Placement Agent first contacted such Investor about the
Offering, Investor has not engaged in any transactions in the securities of the
Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined below)
involving the Company’s securities). Each Investor covenants that it
will not engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including
Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are publicly disclosed. Each Investor agrees that it will
not use any of the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short
position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable
securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without
limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under
Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all
types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options,
puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule

respect to the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor in
