4.3           Accredited Investor.

4.4           Access to Information.  The Investor acknowledges that it has had access to the Company SEC Reports.  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 such information about the business and financial condition of the Company and the terms and conditions of the Agreement as the Investor has requested.  The Investor understands that the Note and Conversion Stock are speculative investments, which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor’s entire investment.
 
4

4.8           Legal and Tax Advice.  The Investor understands that nothing in the Company SEC Reports, this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with an investment in the Securities 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 Securities.
 
4.9           No Brokers.  No person has or will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or valid claim against the Investor or the Company for any commission fee or other compensation as a finder or broker because of any act or omission of such Investor or any agent for the Investor.

5.          Indemnification.
 
5.1           Company’s Indemnification of Investor.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor from and against any and all losses, claims, judgments, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs or expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees resulting from any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding brought by any third party (“Claims and Liabilities”) with respect to or arising from (i) the breach of any warranty or any inaccuracy of any representation made by the Company in this Agreement, or (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement.
 
5.2           Investor’s Indemnification of Company.  To the extent permitted by law, the Investor  shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all Claims and Liabilities with respect to or arising from (i) the breach of any warranty or any inaccuracy of any representation made by the Investor in this Agreement, or (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Investor in this Agreement.
 
5.3           Claims Procedure.  Promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Section 5, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith.  The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Section 5,except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party.
 
7

 
 Such Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Section 5 or if a conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee.  In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense.  In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Section 5 to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such claim.  An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Section 5, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.
 
5.4           Exclusive Remedy.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Effective Date, its sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 5, except that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any injunctive or other equitable remedies or any tort claims of, or causes of action arising from, intentionally fraudulent misrepresentation, willful breach or deceit.
 
6.           Confidentiality. The Investor represents to the Company that, at all times during the Company’s offering of the Notes, the  Investor has maintained in confidence all non-public information regarding the Company received by the  Investor from the Company or its agents, and covenants that it will continue to maintain in confidence such information and shall not use such information for any purpose other than to evaluate an investment in the Securities until such information (a) becomes generally publicly available other than through a violation of this provision by the  Investor or his agents or (b) is required to be disclosed in legal proceedings (such as by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand, filing with any governmental authority or similar process), provided, however, that before making any use or disclosure in reliance on this subparagraph (b) the Investor shall give the Company at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice (or such shorter period as required by law) specifying the circumstances giving rise thereto and will furnish only that portion of the non-public information which is legally required and will exercise his best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any non-public information so furnished.
