represents and warrants to each Lender as follows, in each case as of the date
hereof:
 
(a)           The Company has full power and authority to own, lease, license

proposes to engage.
 
(b)           The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to issue
and sell the Notes. All necessary proceedings of the Company have been duly
taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction
Documents.  The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by the Company
and, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute the legal,

accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and

4.           Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Lender.Each Lender
hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:
 
(a)           The Lender recognizes that the purchase of the Note involves a
high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the
Company has a history of losses, a limited operating history and requires
substantial funds in addition to the proceeds from the sale of the Notes; (ii)
an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can
afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the
Company and the Note and the underlying securities (collectively, the
“Securities”); (iii) the Lender may not be able to liquidate its investment;
(iv) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (v) in the event of
a disposition, the Lender could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and
(vi) the Company has not paid any cash dividends since its inception and does

(b)           Lender is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Rule
501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
(c)           Each of the Transaction Documents to which Lender is party has
been duly executed and delivered by Lender and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Lender, enforceable against Lender in accordance with its
terms except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of
equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(d)           Lender understands the various risks of an investment in the
Company as proposed herein and can afford to bear such risks, including, without
limitation, the risks of losing the entire investment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Lender represents that it has carefully
reviewed the Company’s reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), including without limitation, Amendment No.1 to the
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on November 8, 2011, including the
information and risks provided under the caption “Risk Factors”, and all further
reports and filings of the Company with the SEC (collectively, the “SEC
Filings”).
 
(e)           Lender acknowledges that Lender has been informed by the Company
of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of the
Securities. In particular, Lender agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of
any of the Securities acquired by Lender shall be valid or effective, and the
Company shall not be required to give any effect to such a sale, assignment or
transfer, unless (a) the sale, assignment or transfer of such Securities is
registered under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Securities are
not currently registered for sale and that the Company has no obligation to so
register the Securities; or (b) the Securities are sold, assigned or transferred
in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act. Lender further understands that an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and other documents may be
required to transfer the Securities.
 
(f)           Lender acknowledges that the Securities to be acquired will be
subject to a stop transfer order and any certificate or certificates evidencing
any Securities shall bear the following or a substantially similar legend and
such other legends as may be required by state blue sky laws:

HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES
ACT.  ANY SUCH TRANSFER MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.”
 
(g)           Lender will acquire the Securities for Lender’s own account (or,
if such individual is married, for the joint account of Lender and Lender’s
spouse either in joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety or tenancy in common)
for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the
granting of any participation therein in violation of the securities laws, and

interest or granting any participation therein in violation of the securities
laws.

closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or
industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general
solicitation or general advertising; or (C) observe any website or filing of the
