    (h)           Shell Company Status.

    3.2          Representations and
Warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser represents and warrants
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
follows:

     

    (a)           Organization;
Authority.  If the Purchaser is an entity, the Purchaser is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership
power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations
thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Purchaser.  This Agreement,
to which it is party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid
and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by general equitable principles
and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws
of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as
indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.

     

    (b)           Investment
Intent.  The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted
securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its
own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, has no present
intention of distributing any of such Shares and has no arrangement or
understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such
Shares.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary
course of its business. The Purchaser does not have any agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the
Shares.

     

    (c)           Purchaser
Status.  At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was,
and at the date hereof it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.  The
Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under
Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

     

    (d)           Experience of the
Purchaser.  The Purchaser, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business
and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and
risks of such investment.  The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a
complete loss of such investment.

    (e)           General
Solicitation.  The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a
result of any advertisement, article, notice, general solicitation 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.

     

    (f)
           Residence.  The
office or offices of the Purchaser in which its investment decision was made is
located at the address or addresses of the Purchaser set forth on the signature
page hereto.

     

    (g)           Rule 144. 
Subject to Section 4.1(a), the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act as in effect from time to time and must be held indefinitely
unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption
from such registration is available.  The Purchaser has been advised or is
aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current
public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the
required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold
during any three-month period not exceeding specified
limitations. 

     

    ARTICLE IV

    OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

     

    4.1          Transfer
Restrictions.

     

    (a)           The
Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities
laws.  In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate
of the Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities
Act.  As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of
the Purchaser under this Agreement.

     

    (b)           The
Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this
Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing
Shares:

     

    THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. 

    


    (c)           The
Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the
Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to either
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the
enforcement of this Agreement), 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 improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with
evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein

permitted by law.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by
jury.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce
any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and

representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall survive the
Closing and delivery and/or exercise of the Shares, as applicable.

     

    5.10         Execution.  This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.

     

    5.11         Severability. 
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
