up to the balance of the unissued Shares to such persons or
entities as may be approved by the Company in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE
V
BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each
Buyer represents and warrants to the Company, that:
5.1 Investment Purpose. Each Buyer
is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment only and
not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however,
that by making the representations herein, each Buyer reserves the
right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or
pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such
Shares or an available exemption under the Securities Act. The
Buyer acknowledges that a legend will be placed on the certificates
representing the Shares in the following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE
“RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE
144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE
ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE
ISSUER.
5.2 Accredited Investor Status.
Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the
Securities Act.
5.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Each
Buyer understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it
in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of,
and each Buyer’s compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each
Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of
such exemptions and the eligibility of each Buyer to acquire the
Shares.
5.4 Information. Each Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and other
information each Buyer deemed material to making an informed
investment decision regarding its purchase of the Shares, which
have been requested by each Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that it has
received and reviewed a copy of the Company’s SEC Reports (as
defined below). Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its
management. Neither such inquiries, nor any other due diligence
investigations conducted by any Buyer or its advisors, if any, or
its representatives, shall modify, amend or affect each
Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s and Operating
Sub’s representations and warranties contained in Article VI
below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Shares
involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a position
regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such
Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate
the merits and risks of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to
make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Shares.
-5-
5.5 No Governmental Review. Each
Buyer understands that no United States federal or state
Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or
endorsement of the Shares, or the fairness or suitability of the
investment in the Shares, nor have such Governmental Authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Shares.
5.6 Authorization, Enforcement.
This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered on behalf of each Buyer and is a valid and binding
agreement of each Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies.
5.7 General Solicitation. The Buyer
is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement. The Buyer represents
that it has a relationship preceding its decision to purchase the
Shares with the Company.

indirectly, any outstanding voting securities of or other interests
in, or have any control over, any other Person. With respect to
Operating Sub, all representations and warranties in this Article
VI and elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed repeated and
re-made from and by Operating Sub, as if such representations and
warranties were independently made by Operating Sub, in this
Agreement (but modified as necessary in order to give effect to the
intent of the parties that such representation and warranty is
being made by the Operating Sub, rather than the Company, as
applicable). In addition, each representation and warranty
contained in this Article VI or otherwise set forth in this
Agreement shall be deemed to mean and be construed to include the
Company and each of its subsidiaries, as applicable, regardless of
whether each of such representations and warranties in Article VI

qualification, except to the extent that failure to so qualify will
not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Binding Effect. The execution and delivery by Company of

pursuant to all applicable Laws and no other corporate action or
Consent on the part of Company, its board of directors,
stockholders or any other Person is necessary or required by the
Company to execute this Agreement and the Transaction Documents,
consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein,
perform all of Company’s Obligations hereunder and
thereunder, or to issue the Shares. This Agreement and each of the
Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed by
Company (and the officer executing this Agreement and all such
other Transaction Documents is duly authorized to act and execute
same on behalf of Company) and constitute the valid and legally
binding agreements of Company, enforceable against Company in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights
and remedies.

warrants that true and complete copies of the SEC Documents are
available on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) at
no charge to Buyers, and Buyers acknowledge that each of them may
retrieve all SEC Documents from such website and each Buyer’s
access to such SEC Documents through such website shall constitute
delivery of the SEC Documents to Buyers; provided, however, that if
any Buyer is unable to obtain any of such SEC Documents from such
website at no charge, as result of such website not being available
or any other reason beyond any Buyer’s control, then upon
request from such Buyer, the Company shall deliver to such Buyer
true and complete copies of such SEC Documents. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of the
SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained

been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date

Documents). As of their respective dates, the financial statements
of the Company included in the SEC Documents (“Financial Statements”) complied in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and
the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect

Company and its officers, no other information provided by or on

Assets and businesses against losses and risks normally insured
against by other corporations or entities in the same or similar
lines of businesses as the Company is engaged and in coverage
amounts which are prudent and typically and reasonably carried by

that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate, the Securities Being Sold
were or may be sold, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of
Rule 144, even in the absence of an effective registration
statement (the “Rule 144
Opinion”). If the
transfer agent requires any additional documentation in connection
with any proposed transfer by any Buyer of any Securities Being
Sold, the Company shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the transfer agent or to any other Person, all such additional

(c) Matters With Respect to Shares and
Transfer Agent.
(i) Removal of Restrictive Legends.
In the event that any Buyer has any shares of the Company’s
Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and such Buyer,
through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the
Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) any such shares
for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in
connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any
exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities
Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or
fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or
failure is based solely on applicable Law that would prevent the
removal of such restrictive legends) to render an opinion of
counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the
removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees
and acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and
expressly authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and
all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be
required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the
Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer
Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the
Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as
instructed by such Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for
overnight delivery to the address as specified by such Buyer,
certificates, registered in the name of such Buyer or its
designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which such
Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise
freely transferable on the books and records of the
Company.
(ii) Authorized
Agent of the Company. The Company hereby irrevocably
appoints each Buyer and each Buyer’s counsel and its
representatives, each as the Company’s duly authorized agent
and attorney-in-fact for the Company for the purposes of
authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process
issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from
each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer,
consistent with this Section 7.3(c). The
authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Buyer owns or has the
right to receive, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock
hereunder. In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the
Transfer Agent and each Buyer that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions,
including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of
this Section 7.3(c)
with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that each Buyer
shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement
to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s
irrevocable authority for each Buyer and Transfer Agent to process
issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from
each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, in
each case as specifically contemplated in this Section 7.3(c), without any
further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Company. In
addition, if requested by any Buyer, the Company agrees to use its
best good faith efforts to get an agreement executed by the
Transfer Agent, reasonably acceptable to each Buyer, pursuant to
which the Transfer Agent agrees and confirms that it will act in
accordance with the terms of this Section 7.3(c).

(iii) Injunction
and Specific Performance. The Company specifically
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.3(c), each Buyer will
be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an
inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically
enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of any provision of this Section 7.3(c) by the Company,
each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other
rights or remedies such Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an
injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show
any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to
a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this
Section
7.3(c).

corporate purposes, including general and administrative expenses,

agrees to pay to each Buyer (or any designee or agent of the
Buyers), upon demand, or to otherwise be responsible for the
payment of, any and all costs, fees, charges and expenses,
including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of
counsel for any Buyer, and of any experts and agents, which any
Buyer may incur or which may otherwise be due and payable in
connection with: (i) any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles
taxes, recording fees, filing fees, or other similar taxes, fees or
charges imposed by or due to any Governmental Authority in
connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents;
(ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of any
Buyer under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; or
(iii) the failure by the Company to perform or observe any of
the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents. The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

include the name of any Buyer in any filing with the SEC or any
regulatory agency or Principal Trading Market, without the prior
written consent of such Buyer except to the extent such disclosure

notice of such disclosure permitted under this Section 7.6.

INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Company’s
Obligation to Indemnify. In consideration of the
Buyers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and
acquiring the Shares hereunder, and in addition to all of the
Company’s and Operating Sub’s other obligations under
this Agreement, the Company and Operating Sub, jointly and
severally, hereby agree to defend and indemnify each Buyer and each
Buyer’s Affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and the
successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, the
“Buyer Indemnified
Parties”) and the Company and Operating Sub do hereby
agree to hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless, from and
against any and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the
Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company and
Operating Sub hereby agree to pay or reimburse the Buyer
Indemnified Parties for any and all Claims payable by any of the
Buyer Indemnified Parties to any Person, including reasonable
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses, court
costs, settlement amounts, costs of investigation and interest
thereon from the time such amounts are due at the highest
non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable Law, through
all negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, trial and appellate
levels, as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (i) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made
by the Company or Operating Sub in this Agreement, the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or Obligation of the Company or Operating Sub contained
in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby;
or (iii) any Claims brought or made against the Buyer Indemnified
Parties, or any one of them, by any Person and arising out of or
resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement
of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other
instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto or
thereto, any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of
the Shares, or the status of the Buyers of any of the Shares, as a
buyer and holder of such Shares in the Company. To the extent that
the foregoing undertaking by the Company and Operating Sub may be
unenforceable for any reason, the Company and Operating Sub shall
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
each of the Claims covered hereby, which is permissible under
applicable Law. The Company will not be liable to any Buyer under
this indemnity: (i) for any settlement by a Buyer in connection
with any Claim effected without the Company’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the
extent, that a Claim is attributable to any Buyer’s breach of
any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by such Buyer in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents.

MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS
11.1 Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or
more of the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to
purchase the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been
made by each such Buyer independently of any other Buyer and
independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions
as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties,
liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its subsidiaries, if
any, which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or any of
their respective officers, directors, principals, employees,
agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, including the
Buyer in question, the “Buyer
Representatives”). No Buyer Representative shall have
any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or
arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions, if any. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has
acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of
such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in
the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents.
Each Buyer 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 Buyer to be joined as an
additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company
and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of
administrative convenience the Company has elected to provide each
of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose
of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it
was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of
the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and the
Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in
any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
-17-
11.2 Equal
Treatment of Buyers. No consideration shall be offered or
paid to any Buyer to amend or consent to a waiver or modification
of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, unless the
same consideration is also offered to all of the other Buyers
parties to the Transaction Documents.

have been signed by each party and each party has delivered its
signed counterpart to the other party. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail
delivery of a “.pdf” format file or other similar
format file, such signature shall be deemed an original for all
purposes and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing same with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original

12.9 Headings.
The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the

Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all
legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any
other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state
and federal courts sitting in the State of New York. Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives any right it may have, and agrees not to
request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an
action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding
shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with
the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.

time for such performance shall be extended until the next business
day thereafter occurring.
-19-
12.14 Joint
Preparation. The preparation of this Agreement has been a
joint effort of the parties and the resulting documents shall not,
solely as a matter of judicial construction, be construed more
severely against one of the parties than the other.

reason, shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and be construed as if the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein.
12.16 No
