.
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.
(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, 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.
(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:
Certificates
evidencing the Conversion Shares or Warrant 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 or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144,
(iii) if such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible
for sale under Rule 144, 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 or Warrants 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 or the Warrant Shares,
such Conversion Shares or Warrant 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 or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, 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 or
Warrant Shares is not an affirmative statement or representation
that such Conversion Shares or Warrant 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.
(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 representations,

submitted to the Company regarding an 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.
(j)

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
