held in escrow pursuant hereto or arising under the Escrow Agreement, unless (i) such Losses

be a DTC participant, to set up a Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) instructing The American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, to credit such account or accounts
with the Shares by means of an electronic book-entry delivery. Such DWAC shall indicate the
settlement date for the deposit of the Shares, which date shall be provided to the Investor by the
Placement Agents. Simultaneously with the delivery to the Company by the Escrow Agent of the funds
held in escrow pursuant to Section 3.3 above, the Company shall direct its transfer agent to credit
the Investor’s account or accounts with the Shares pursuant to the information contained in the
DWAC.




     4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.



          4.1 The Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (a) the
Investor has answered all questions on the Signature Page and the Investor Questionnaire for use in
preparation of the Prospectus Supplement and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the

in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company or the Placement Agents that would
permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection

purpose is required. Each Investor outside the United States will comply with all applicable laws
and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Units
or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense.

information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of the Units, except as set

 Annex I- Page 3









 







action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the
Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and
contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in

legally unenforceable.




          4.4 The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Prospectus or any other
materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units
constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and
investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in
connection with its purchase of Units.




          4.5 Each Investor represents, warrants and agrees that, since the earlier to occur of (i) the

covenants that it will not engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including
Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been
consummated and are publicly disclosed. Each Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Units
acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so
would be in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include,
without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under
the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock
pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent
