The Company, pursuant to the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated as of April 18, 2011 (the “Private Placement Memorandum”), is offering (i) convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), which may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at the option of the Investor or of the Company, as set forth in the Notes and in the Private Placement Memorandum, and (ii) warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock which is equal to (x) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Note is convertible, multiplied by (y) 0.3 (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”).

In addition, the Company reserves the right to issue and sell additional Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000 and Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

IV. Representations and Warranties of the Investor

The Investor hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company as follows, recognizing that each of such representations, warranties and covenants shall survive any acceptance of this subscription in whole or in part by the Company and the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Investor:

1. Organization and Good Standing. The Investor, if the Investor is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement and under the Registration Rights Agreement (together, the “Investor Agreements”).

2. Agreement Duly Authorized. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the Investor Agreements has been duly authorized by all necessary action, the Investor Agreements have been duly executed and delivered, and, when executed and delivered by the Company, the Investor Agreements will constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Investor, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, regulations or procedures of general applicability now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ or other obligees’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3. Sophistication of Investor. The Investor either (i) has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with the Company or its controlling persons, such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or its controlling persons, or (ii) by reason of the Investor’s business or financial experience, individually or in conjunction with the Investor’s unaffiliated professional advisors who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, making an informed investment decision and protecting the Investor’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4. Statements of Investor True and Accurate. All statements and representations made in Annex I attached hereto, which has been or is being furnished concurrently herewith to the Company by the Investor, continue to be and are true, accurate and complete as of the date hereof. The Investor agrees to provide such additional information as reasonably may be required by the Company for compliance with the securities laws of the state in which the Investor is located.

5. Investor Aware of Risks. The Investor has been informed and is aware that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and speculation. The Investor has received this Subscription Agreement, the Private Placement Memorandum (including the form of Note attached as Exhibit A thereto, the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit B thereto and the form of Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit C thereto), and all other documents requested by the Investor. The Investor has carefully read such documents in their entirety, including the Risk Factors set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum, has considered them, and understands the information contained therein. The Investor, prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement, has had access to the same kind of information which would be available in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including without limitation the Company’s Commission Reports (as defined below).

6. Investor Relying Upon Own Advisors. The Investor confirms that the Investor has been advised that the Investor should rely on, and that the Investor has consulted and relied on, the Investor’s own accounting, legal and financial advisors with respect to the investment in the Notes. The Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have been afforded an opportunity to meet with the officers and directors of the Company and to ask and receive answers to all questions about this offering of the Securities and the proposed business and affairs of the Company and to obtain any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, and the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s) therefore have obtained, in the judgment of the Investor and/or the Investor’s professional advisor(s), sufficient information to evaluate the merits and risks of investment in the Company.

7. Suitability. The purchase of the Securities by the Investor is consistent with his or her general investment objectives. The Investor understands and has fully considered the risks of this investment and understands that (i) this investment is suitable only for an investor who is able to bear the economic consequences of losing his or her entire investment, (ii) the purchase of the Securities is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk and (iii) there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of, and there will be no public market for, the Securities, and accordingly, it may not be possible for the Investor to liquidate his or her investment in the event of an emergency. The Investor has no present need for liquidity in connection with the purchase of the Securities hereunder. The Investor can bear the economic risks of this investment and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

8. Accredited Investor. The Investor is an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

9. Lack of Liquidity. The Investor is able (i) to bear the economic risk of this investment, and (ii) to afford a complete loss of the Investor’s investment; and represents that the Investor has sufficient liquid assets so that the lack of liquidity associated with this investment will not cause any undue financial difficulties or affect the Investor’s ability to provide for the Investor’s current needs and possible financial contingencies.

10. Access to Information. The Investor, in making the Investor’s decision to purchase the Securities, has relied solely upon independent investigations made by the Investor and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, and the Investor has been given (i) access to all material books and records of the Company; (ii) access to all material contracts and documents relating to this offering of the Securities; and (iii) an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the appropriate executive officers and other persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of this offering of the Securities, and to obtain any additional information, to the extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information set forth in this Subscription Agreement and the Private Placement Memorandum (together, the “Offering Documents”). The Investor acknowledges that no valid request to the Company by the Investor for information of any kind about the Company has been refused or denied by the Company or remains unfulfilled as of the date thereof. The Investor has carefully read the Offering Documents, including the Note, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively, to the Private Placement Memorandum. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Investor has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) other than as set forth in the Offering Documents or as contained in any documents or written answers to questions furnished by the Company. The Investor has not relied upon the Company’s registration statement, filed with the Commission on April 1, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”) or on any representations or other information therein.

11. No Registration of Securities; Restrictive Legends. Neither the Note, the Warrant or, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note or the shares of Common Stock exercisable under the Warrant are, or will be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that legends shall be placed on the Note, the Warrant and on any certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant, to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s records.

12. No Endorsement by Federal or State Agencies. The Investor understands and acknowledges that neither the Commission nor any state securities commission has made any finding or determination as to the fairness or suitability for investment in, or any recommendation or endorsement of, the Company or the Securities.

 

13. Investor has Evaluated Risks. Based on the review of the materials and information described above, and relying solely thereon and on the knowledge and experience of the Investor and/or the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, in business and financial matters, the Investor has evaluated the merits and risks of investing in the Securities and has determined that the Investor is both willing and able to undertake the economic risk of this investment.

14. Investment for Personal Account; No View to Distribution. The Investor is acquiring the Securities for the personal account of the Investor for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof or of any interest therein, and no one else has any beneficial ownership or interest in the Securities being acquired by the Investor, nor are the Securities being acquired by the Investor to be subject to any lien or pledge. The Investor has no present obligation, indebtedness or commitment pending, nor is any circumstance in existence, that will compel the Investor to secure funds by the sale, transfer or other distribution of the Securities or any interest therein.

15. No General Solicitation. The Investor is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of this offering of Securities through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, the Registration Statement, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with this offering of Securities and is not subscribing for Securities and did not become aware of this offering of Securities through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Investor was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Investor in connection with investments in securities generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor represents, warrants and covenants that (i) the Investor had a substantive, pre-existing relationship with the Company prior to April 1, 2011; (ii) the Investor’s investment in this offering was solicited through direct contact by the Company or its agents outside of the public offering effort related to the Registration Statement; or (iii) the Investor’s investment in this offering was solicited through contacts by the Company or its agents of prospective investors who (x) were not identified or contacted through the marketing of the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement and (y) did not independently contact the Company as a result of the general solicitation by means of the Registration Statement.

16. No Brokerage Commissions Due. The Investor has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person, corporation, partnership, proprietorship, entity, company or other business organization for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

17. Indemnification. The Investor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Company and the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys and agents, as the case may be, from and against all damages suffered and liabilities of any kind incurred by any of them (including costs of investigation and defense and attorneys’ fees) arising out of any inaccuracy in the agreements, representations, covenants and warranties made by the Investor in this Subscription Agreement.

18. Fiduciary Representations. If the Investor is purchasing the Securities subscribed for hereby in a fiduciary capacity, then all of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of the person or persons for whom the Investor is so purchasing.

19. Subscription Irrevocable. The Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this subscription or any agreement of the Investor hereunder and that such subscription and agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Investor, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

20. Acceptance or Rejection by Company. The Investor understands and acknowledges that this subscription may be accepted or rejected by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. If a subscription is rejected by the Company, written notice will be sent to the Investor along with the Subscription Agreement and all funds (without interest, penalty, expense or deduction) submitted by the Investor, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. Neither the Company nor any officer, director, shareholder, employee, attorney or agent of any of them shall be liable to any person for the rejection, in whole or in part, of any offer to subscribe to purchase the Securities, notwithstanding that the Investor may otherwise be qualified as a prospective investor.

21. Changes in Status. If, before the sale of Securities to the Investor, the Investor’s investment intent as expressed herein materially changes, or if any change occurs that would make either the representations or warranties made by the Investor herein or the information provided by the Investor in any of the forms attached hereto (including Annex I attached hereto) materially untrue or misleading, then the Investor shall immediately so notify the Company, and any prior acceptance of the subscription of the Investor shall be voidable at the option of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

22. Material Non-Public Information; No Trading. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that he or she may have received material non-public information that has been disclosed to the Investor for the purpose of evaluating the Company and an investment in the Securities. The Investor agrees that he or she shall not purchase or sell any securities of the Company until such time as all material information provided to the Investor has been made publicly available.

V. Representations and Warranties of the Company

 

The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Investor as follows, recognizing that the Investor will rely to a material degree on such representations, warranties and covenants, each of which shall survive the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Investor:

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is not in violation of any material provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws.

2. Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate this offering of Securities. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Investor Agreements has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, when executed and delivered by the Company, the Investor Agreements will constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, regulations or procedures of general applicability now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ or other obligees’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Investor Agreements by the Company and the consummation by the Company of this offering of Securities do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority as currently in effect to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not, individually or in the aggregate (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this offering of Securities, (y) have or result in or be reasonably likely to have or result in a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, or (z) adversely impair the Company’s ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (any of (x), (y) or (z), a “Material Adverse Effect”).
