Each Investor severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the Company with respect to the purchase of the Shares and the Warrants as follows, which representations and warranties in no way limit or affect the Company’s representations and warranties hereunder (except as specifically set forth herein):

4.1 No Registration. Such Investor understands that neither the Shares nor the Warrants have been, or will be, registered under 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 investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

4.2 Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares and Warrants for investment 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 other than to affiliated funds under common control. Such Investor has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares or the Warrants.

4.5 Access to Data. Such Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management and has also had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from officers of the Company.

4.10 Brokers or Finders. Such Investor has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents, and neither the Company nor such Investor has, nor will, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by such Investor, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.

4.11 Legends. Such Investor understands and agrees that the Warrants and the certificates evidencing the Shares or any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the legends required by the other Agreements, including legends relating to restrictions on transfer under federal and applicable state securities laws and restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.

4.12 Foreign Investors. If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal

-8-

---

without regard to any investigation by any of the Indemnified Parties, based upon, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in respect of or in connection with third party or governmental claims under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, including, without limitation, any third party or governmental claim alleging so called control person liability or securities law liability; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such Losses arise from and are based on (A) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in a registration statement or prospectus which is made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein, or (B) conduct by an Indemnified Party which constitutes fraud.

SECTION 8

The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached. It is accordingly hereby agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to restrain, enjoin and prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies to which the parties are entitled to at law or in equity.

8.11 Severability. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of the Investors hereunder are several rights, not rights jointly held with any of the other Investors. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision, and the parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a legal and enforceable substitute provision which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

8.12 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to sections, paragraphs, exhibits and schedules shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs hereof and exhibits and schedules attached hereto.

8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

8.14 Telecopy Execution and Delivery. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party hereto, all parties hereto agree to execute and deliver an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction hereof.

8.15 Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver, by the proper exercise of its corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other powers, all such other and additional instruments and documents and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary to more fully effectuate this Agreement.

8.16 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties (including transferees of any Shares). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

8.17 Aggregation of Stock. All Shares held or acquired by affiliated entities or persons (including but not limited to: (a) a constituent partner or a retired partner of an Investor that is a partnership; (b) a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of an Investor that is a corporation; (c) an immediate family member living in the same household, a descendant, or a trust therefore, in the case of an Investor who is an individual; (d) a member of an Investor that is a limited liability company or (e) funds under common management) shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.
