the laws of foreign jurisdictions in which the Stock is offered and
sold.

There is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Company’s knowledge,
currently threatened against Company or any of its subsidiaries that questions

condition or affairs of Company, financially or otherwise, nor is Company aware
that there is any basis for the foregoing.
2.7 Compliance
with Other Instruments.
Company

Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, charter documents or of any instrument,
judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it
is bound or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state statute,
rule or regulation applicable to Company. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, the issuance of the Stock and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or be
in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving
of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment,
order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results in the creation of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of Company.

requested for deciding whether to acquire the Stock and all information that
Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable Purchasers to make such a
decision. To Company’s knowledge, no representation or warranty of
Company contained in this Agreement, any certificate furnished or to be
furnished to Purchasers at the Closing (when read together) contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances under which they were made. From November 14, 2007 to the
Closing Date Company has timely filed or otherwise transmitted all forms,
reports and documents required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under the
Securities Act and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(collectively, the "SEC Filings"). None
of the SEC Filings contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein at the time they were filed in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except for these
statements (if any) as have been modified by subsequent filings with the SEC,
prior to the date hereof.
2.10 Title to Property and
Assets.
Company
and its subsidiaries own its property and assets free and clear of all
mortgages, liens, loans and encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens
which arise in the ordinary course of business or which are necessary to secure
loans and borrowing by its subsidiaries. With respect to the property
and assets it leases, Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with such
leases and, to its knowledge, hold a valid leasehold interest free of any liens,
claims or encumbrances.

respects. Company has paid all taxes and other assessments
due.

policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in amount (subject to reasonable
deductibles) to allow it to replace any of its properties that might be damaged
or destroyed.
3
2.13 Labor Agreements and
Actions.
There is
no strike or other labor dispute involving Company or its subsidiaries pending,
or to the knowledge of Company threatened, which could have a material adverse
effect on the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results, or
business of Company, nor is Company aware of any labor organization activity
involving its employees.
2.14 Permits.
Company
and each of its subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses and any
similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business,
properties, prospects, or financial condition of
Company. Company is not in default in any material respect
under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar
authority.
3. Representations and
Warranties of Purchasers.
Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants
to Company that:
3.1 Authorization.
Such
Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement. The Agreements, when executed and delivered by Purchaser,
will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable
in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other
laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of a specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own
Account.
Purchaser
either (a) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with Company or
any of its directors or officers or (b) by reason of Purchaser’s business or
financial experience or the business or financial experience of their
professional advisers who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by
Company or any affiliate or selling agent of Company, directly or indirectly,
could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect their own interests
in connection with the purchase of Stock. This Agreement is made with
Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to Company, which by
Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms, that the
Stock to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for
Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same in violation of federal or state securities laws. By
executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not
presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third
person, with respect to any of the Stock. Purchaser has not been formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the Stock.
3.3 Disclosure of
Information.
Purchaser
has had an opportunity to review the private placement memorandum concerning the
sale of the Stock (the "PPM") and discuss
Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions
of the offering of the Stock with a representative of Company’s
management.
3.4 Restricted
Securities.
Purchaser
understands that the Stock has not been, and until the first anniversary of the
Closing Date will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent
and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed
herein. Purchaser understands that the Stock is a “restricted
security” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that,
pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Stock indefinitely unless it is
registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from
such registration and qualification requirements is
available. Purchaser acknowledges that Company has no obligation to
register or qualify the Stock for resale except as set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption
from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on
various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale,
the holding period for the Stock, and on requirements relating to Company which
are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which Company is under no
obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
3.5 No Public
Market.
Purchaser
understands that no public market now exists for the Stock, that the Stock is
not convertible into securities issued by Company that trade in a public market
and that Company is not required to register or qualify the Stock for public
trading or resale except as set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
4
3.6 Legends.
Purchaser
understands that the Stock and any securities issued in respect of or exchange
for the Stock, may bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) “THE

SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A
VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF IN VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE
UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
(b) Any
legend set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) Any
legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state or any similar laws of any

is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.
