the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Investor,  the  performance
by such  Investor of its  obligations  hereunder  and the  consummation  by such
Investor of the transactions  contemplated  hereby have been duly authorized and
requires no other  proceedings on the part of the Investor.  The undersigned has
the right,  power and  authority to execute and deliver this  Agreement  and all
other  instruments  (including,  without  limitations,  the Registration  Rights

and  not on any  statements  or  representations  of the  Company  or any of its

this  investment,  the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement  or  the
securities laws of any jurisdiction.

      Section 3.4. Investment Purpose. The securities are being purchased by the

conducted by such Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall
modify,  amend  or  affect  the  Investor's  right  to  rely  on  the  Company's
representations  and  warranties  contained  in  this  Agreement.  The  Investor
understands that its investment  involves a high degree of risk. The Investor is
in a position  regarding  the  Company,  which,  based upon  employment,  family
relationship or economic bargaining power,  enabled and enables such Investor to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
this investment. The Investor has sought such accounting,  legal and tax advice,
as it has  considered  necessary to make an informed  investment  decision  with
respect to this transaction.
