transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of
ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant
to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

subsidiary nor any of its or their affiliates, nor any person
acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the

purposes of the Securities Act that would prevent the Company from
selling the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares
pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable
exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the
Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or
steps that would cause the offering of the Preferred Shares,
Warrants and Conversion Shares to be integrated with other
offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement
pending but not yet effective before the Commission or currently
under the Commission’s review and except as set forth on

for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under
the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that to the
best of its knowledge, the decision of each Purchaser to purchase
securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such
Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of
any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the
business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities,
results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of the Company or of its subsidiaries that may have been
made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of
any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or
employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other
person) relating to or arising from any such information,
materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that
nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no
action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create
a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert
or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges
that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights
arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of
administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have
been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers and such counsel
does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser
and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the
same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the
Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by

and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged. To the best
of Company’s knowledge, such insurance contracts and policies
are valid and in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor any
subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business without a significant
increase in cost.
(jj)
Application of Takeover Protections . The Company and its
Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in
order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition,
business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under
the Company’s Certificate (or similar charter documents) or
the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become
applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the
Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights
under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the
Company’s issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants or
the Conversion Shares and the Purchasers’ ownership of the
Preferred Shares, the Warrants and the Conversion
Shares.

Foreign Corrupt Practices . Neither the Company nor any
subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary, has (i)

unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements . There is
no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the

disclosed in accordance with GAAP and that would be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(mm)
Manipulation of Price . The Company has not, and to its
knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or
indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result or that could
reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the stabilization or
manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Preferred Shares,
Warrants or Conversion Shares or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or
paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the
Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares.

disagreements regarding the Company’s accounting policies
presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to
arise, between the Company and the accountants formerly or

of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do
so.
