(a) No Registration. Such Holder understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the accuracy of such Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

(b) Own Account.  Such Holder is acquiring the Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and such Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act and does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to such Shares in violation of the Securities Act.

(c) Investment Experience. Such Holder has knowledge, sophistication and experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that such Holder can protect its own interests. Such Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.

(d) Access to Information.  Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with or have been given access to all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company (other than materials that would constitute material non-public information) and any reasonably requested materials requested by the Holder.  Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management and have received complete and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries.

(e) Accredited Investor.  Such Holder is an “accredited investor’ within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501, promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

6.           Miscellaneous.

(a) The Company shall, within four Trading Days of the date hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall attach this Agreement and all other related agreements thereto (the “8-K Filing”).  From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the Commission, the Holder shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing.  The Company shall consult with the Holders in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and by facsimile signature or otherwise, and each of such counterparts shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c) The Company has elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and form of agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Holders.  The obligations of each Holder under this Agreement, and any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.  Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Holder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(e) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with laws of the State of Illinois, excluding its choice of law rules.  The parties hereto hereby waive the right to a jury trial in any litigation resulting from or related to this Agreement.  The parties hereto consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal courts sitting in the southern district of New York, unless no federal subject matter jurisdiction exists, in which case the parties hereto consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the Illinois state courts in the County of Cook, city of Chicago, Illinois.  Each party waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens.  Process may be served on any party hereto in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule.
