Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, as to itself, the following:

3.1 Investment Status.

(a) The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for its own account, for investment only and not with a view to, or any present intention of, effecting a distribution of such securities or any part thereof except pursuant to a registration or an available exemption under applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Securities nor the Underlying Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and cannot be disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

3.2 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities.

3.3 Opportunities for Additional Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of the Purchaser’s personal knowledge of the Company’s affairs, the Purchaser has asked such questions and received in writing answers to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to invest in the Company.

3.4 No General Solicitation. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to him by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (a) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (b) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

3.5 Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that the Securities and the Underlying Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that he is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the SEC, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, and that he has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. The Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, the Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities or Underlying Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

3.6 No Shorting. The Purchaser has not engaged in any short sales of the Common Stock or instructed any third parties to engage in any short sales of the Common Stock on his behalf prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will not be in a net short position with respect to the shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.6, a “net short position” means a sale of Common Stock by a Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser.

3.7 General. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

3.8 Investment Banking; Brokerage Fees. The Purchaser has not incurred or become liable for any investment banking fees, brokerage commissions, broker’s or finder’s fees or similar compensation (exclusive of professional fees to lawyers and accountants) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.9 Exculpation Among Purchasers. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Purchaser agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the respective controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.

At the Closing, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor upon presentation of appropriate invoices and documentation therefor for all Reimbursable Expenses incurred, by or on behalf of the Investor.
