Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, as to such Buyer, that:

Each Buyer is acquiring the Notes (and upon conversion of the Notes, if applicable, the Conversion Securities (as defined in the Notes)), 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 Conversion Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Conversion Securities, or an available exemption under the Securities Act. The Buyer agrees not to sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Buyer’s securities unless such securities are registered under the federal and applicable state securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such law is available.

(b) Residence of Buyer. Each Buyer resides in the jurisdiction set forth on the signature pages affixed hereto.

(c) Non-US Person. If a Buyer is not a person in the United States or a U.S. Person (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S) or is not purchasing the Notes on behalf of a person in the United States or a U.S. Person:

(e) Accredited Investor Qualifications. The Buyer (i) if a natural person, represents that the Buyer has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Notes, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Buyer is executing this Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Buyer is a party or by which it is bound;

(f) Solicitation. The Buyer is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Notes through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes and is not subscribing for the Notes and did not become aware of the offering of the Notes through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Buyer was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Buyer in connection with investments in securities generally;

(h) Buyer’s Advisors. The Buyer and the Buyer’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”), as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Notes to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

(i) Buyer Liquidity. Each Buyer has adequate means of providing for such Buyer’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time.

(j) High Risk Investment; Review of Risk Factors. The Buyer is aware that an investment in the Notes (and upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Securities), involves a number of very significant risks, and in particular, acknowledges that the Company’s ability to repay the Notes is based on the consummation of the Transactions.

(k) Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Notes 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 such securities.

(l) Information. Each Buyer and its Advisors have been furnished with all written materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information it deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Notes, which have been requested by such Buyer (the “Buyer Materials”). Each Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to review the Buyer Materials, as well as the Company’s SEC Filings, as such term is defined below (hard copies of which were made available to the Buyer upon request to the Company or were otherwise accessible to the Buyer via the SEC’s EDGAR system), and the information contained therein. Each Buyer and its Advisors 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 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 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 Notes.

(m) No Other Representations or Information. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Notes, the Buyer has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) other than as stated in the Buyer Materials or in this Agreement. No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Buyer or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Notes which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Buyer Materials;

(n) 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 Notes (or the Conversion Securities), or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes (or the Conversion Securities), nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes (or the Conversion Securities).

(o) Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that: (i) the Notes 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, or (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; (ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“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 such 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) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Securities to the extent specifically set forth under this Agreement. There can be no assurance that there will be any market or resale for the Notes (or the Conversion Securities), nor can there be any assurance that the Notes (or the Conversion Securities) will be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future.

(p) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes (and the Conversion Securities) shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 OR 144A THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (D) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (E) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company within three (3) business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Notes (and the Conversion Securities) upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the Buyer or its broker make the necessary representations and warranties to the transfer agent for the Common Stock that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with a sale transaction, provided the Note (and the Conversion Securities) are registered under the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Notes (or the Conversion Securities) may be made without registration under the Securities Act.

(q) 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.

Each Buyer and its counsel have received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein; and (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; each Buyer has received answers to all questions such Buyer 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.

(s) Trading Activities. The Buyer’s trading activities with respect to the Company’s Common Stock shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the principal market on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed or traded. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the Common Stock of the Company and, except as set forth below, the Buyer shall not, and shall not cause any of its affiliates under common control with the Buyer, to engage in any short sale as defined in any applicable SEC or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules on any hedging transactions with respect to the Common Stock until the earlier to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the Buyer(s) no longer own a principal balance of the Notes. Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer agrees not to engage in any naked short transactions in excess of the amount of shares owned (or an offsetting long position) by the Buyer.

(t) Regulation FD. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all of the information received by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and that such information has been furnished to the Buyer for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to consider and evaluate an investment in the Notes. The Buyer agrees that it will treat such information in a confidential manner, will not use such information for any purpose other than evaluating an investment in the Notes, will not, directly or indirectly, trade or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to trade in any securities of the Company while in possession of such information and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to disclose any of such information without the Company’s prior written consent. The Buyer shall make its agents, affiliates and representatives aware of the confidential nature of the information contained herein and the terms of this section including the Buyer’s agreement to not disclose such information, to not trade in the Company’s securities while in the possession of such information and to be responsible for any disclosure or other improper use of such information by such agents, affiliates or representatives. Likewise, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, make any statements, public announcements or other release or provision of information in any form to any trade publication, to the press or to any other person or entity whose primary business is or includes the publication or dissemination of information related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(u) 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 its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Each Buyer is relying solely on such 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.

(v) No Group Participation. Each Buyer and its affiliates are not a member of any group, nor is any Buyer acting in concert with any other person, including any other Buyer, with respect to its acquisition of the Notes (or the Conversion Securities).

(w) Reliance. Any information which the Buyer has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering of securities as described in the Transmittal Letter. The Buyer further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Notes. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, the Buyer will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject.

(x) (For ERISA plans only). The fiduciary of the ERISA plan represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Buyer fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Buyer fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates;

(y) (The Buyer should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations.) The Buyer represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Notes were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists;

(z) To the best of the Buyer’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Buyer; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Buyer; (3) if the Buyer is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Buyer; or (4) any person for whom the Buyer is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Buyer become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Buyer understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Buyer, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Buyer, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Buyer further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Buyer, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Buyer if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs;

1 These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

(o) ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

The USA PATRIOT Act	What is money laundering?	How big is the problem and why is it important?

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs. To help you understand theses efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.	Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.	The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws.		As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

(p) Payment of Fees to Brewer & Pritchard, P.C. The Company shall pay to Brewer & Pritchard, PC at Closing a fee of $3,000 as payment for legal services rendered on behalf of Buyer, which payment will be withheld by Buyer from the funds advanced at Closing.
