5. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
5.1 Organization; Status. The Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and, if applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has full power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and carry on its business as currently conducted.
5.2 Authorization, Enforcement. The Purchaser has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. This execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser have been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and is a valid and binding agreement of Purchaser 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.
5.3 No Conflict. The Purchaser is not subject to or bound by any agreement, judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency which prevents the execution and consummation of this Agreement.
5.4 Investment Purpose. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares 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, the Purchaser reserves the right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the Shares or an available exemption under the Securities Act.
5.5 Experience. The Purchaser is experienced in evaluating companies such as the Company, is able to fend for itself in transactions such as the one contemplated by this Agreement, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchaser’s prospective investment in the Company, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment.

If any action shall be brought against a party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party.

7. Covenants.
7.1 Confidentiality. Each party will hold and will cause its consultants and advisors to hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of law, all documents and information concerning the other party furnished it by such other party or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by the party to which it was furnished, (ii) in the public domain through no breach of this Section 7.1 by such party, or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished) and each party will not release or disclose such information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors in connection with this Agreement. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, such confidence shall be maintained except to the extent such information comes into the public domain through no breach of this Section 7.1 by the party required to hold it in confidence, and such information shall not be used to the detriment of, or in relation to any investment in, the other party and all such documents (including copies thereof) shall immediately thereafter be returned to the other party upon the written request of such other party. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold such information confidential if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information.
- 7 -
7.2 Publicity. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to this Agreement and will not issue or make any such release or announcement without the prior written consent of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that a party may without the consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable) issue or make such a release or announcement as required by law or securities exchange rules.
7.3 Legends; etc. The Purchaser understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Shares 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 BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
The Company shall, promptly following delivery by the Purchaser of a certificate for Shares bearing a restrictive legend, issue a certificate without such legend if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, or (ii) after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of Counsel, 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 Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
7.4 Registration Rights. Following December 17, 2010, Purchaser shall have the right to demand that the Company cause a registration statement relating to the resale of the Shares on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act to be filed with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”). As promptly as practicable and in no event later than 45 days following a written demand for registration (such 45th day, the “Required Filing Date”) of the Shares by the Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Registration Statement be filed with the SEC and to become effective as promptly as practicable and in no event later than 90 days following the earlier of (a) the Required Filing Date and (b) the date such Registration Statement was filed, and to maintain the effectiveness thereof until the Purchaser has sold the entirety of the Shares; provided, that the Company’s obligation to cause the Registration Statement to be filed and to maintain the effectiveness thereof shall expire at such time as the entirety of the Shares can be publicly resold without restriction in the absence of registration. For each thirty day period or portion thereof during which a breach of the obligations remains uncured, the Company shall pay to Purchaser 2% of the aggregate Purchase Price. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.4 shall be subject to such other terms and conditions are customary for registration rights in transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and the Purchaser shall each pay 50% of the costs and expenses associated with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement provided however the total of such costs and expenses that the Purchaser shall bear shall not exceed $50,000.

The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser.
