5.           Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.
 
5.1           The Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (i) the Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and the Investor is also knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to investments in shares presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Units, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Units; (ii) ) the Investor has carefully read and fully understands the risks involved with an investment in the Company including, without limitation, the risks identified on Annex II, attached hereto, (iii) the Investor is acquiring the number of Units set forth in Section 3 of the Signature Page to the Securities Purchase Agreement in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of distributing any of such Units or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Units; (iv) the Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Units except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (v) all of the representations made by the Investor are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof and will be true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date; and (vi) the Investor has, in connection with its decision to purchase the number of Units set forth in Section 3 of the Signature Page to the Securities Purchase Agreement, relied only upon the Exchange Act Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein.  There are no suits, pending litigation, or claims against the undersigned that could materially affect the net worth of the Investor.

5.2           The Investor acknowledges that it has had access to the Exchange Act Documents and has carefully reviewed the same.  The Investor further acknowledges that the Company has made available to it the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company's officers and directors concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the business and financial condition of the Company, and the Investor has received to its satisfaction, such information about the business and financial condition of the Company and the terms and conditions of the Agreement as it has requested.  The Investor has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Units, and fully understands that the Units are speculative investments, which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor’s entire investment.  Among others, the undersigned has carefully considered each of the risks identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Exchange Act Documents and Annex II.

5.3           The Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company that would permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issuance of the Units, in any jurisdiction outside the United States where legal action by the Company for that purpose is required.  Investor will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Units, Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense.

5.5           The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) 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 (ii) 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).

5.6           Investor will not use any of the restricted Shares or Warrant Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock of the Company if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws.

5.7           The Investor understands that nothing in the Exchange Act Documents, this Agreement 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 the Units.

5.8           The Investor understands that the issuance of the Units to the Investor  has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon one or more specific exemptions therefrom, including Regulation D and/or Regulation S, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the accuracy of the Investor’s representations made in this Agreement. The Investor understands that the Units must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is otherwise available. The  Investor acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Units or underlying Shares or Warrant Shares for resale. The Investor acknowledges that the Company will refuse to register any transfer of Units, Shares or Warrant Shares that is not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, registered pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise exempt from such registration. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares or Warrant Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Investor has been independently advised as to the applicable holding period imposed in respect of the Shares by securities legislation in the jurisdiction in which the undersigned resides and confirms that no representation has been made respecting the applicable holding periods for the Shares or Warrant Shares in such jurisdiction and it is aware of the risks and other characteristics of the Units and of the fact that the undersigned may not resell the Units, Shares or Warrant Shares except in accordance with applicable securities legislation and regulatory policy.

To the knowledge of the Investor, without having made any independent investigation, neither the Company nor any person acting for the Company, has conducted any “directed selling efforts” in the United States as the term “directed selling efforts” is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S, which, in general, means any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the marketing in the United States for any of the Units being offered.
