connection with a proposed initial public offering (the “IPO”) of up to ___ shares of

and the Purchaser desires to purchase, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a
number of shares of our Common Stock equal to ___% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold to

take place at the offices of the Company or the Company’s legal counsel immediately prior to, and
shall be subject to, the completion of the IPO. At the closing, the Company shall deliver to the
Purchaser one or more certificates evidencing the Private Placement Common Stock, substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, registered in the Purchaser’s name, upon the payment
of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by
the Company.



     3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the issuance and
sale of the Private Placement Common Stock, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the
Purchaser the following:



          3.1 The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Maryland and the Company has all necessary corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments delivered by
the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly and validly taken
and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. This Agreement constitutes
the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws of general application now or
hereafter in



 









 






effect affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). The issuance
and sale by the Company of the Private Placement Common Stock does not conflict with the articles
of amendment and restatement or by-laws of the Company or any material contract by which the
Company or its property is bound, or any federal or state laws or regulations or decree, ruling or
judgment of any United States or state court applicable to the Company or its property.




          3.3 Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Purchaser
will have good title to the Private Placement Common Stock free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances of any kind, other than transfer restrictions hereunder and under other agreements
contemplated hereby.




     4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants to the Company that:



          4.1 The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and a “qualified institutional buyer” as that
term is defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.




          4.2 The Private Placement Common Stock is being acquired for the Purchaser’s own account, only
for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any public
distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.




          4.3 The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The Purchaser has all necessary corporate power and authority
to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.




          4.4 All corporate action necessary to be taken by the Purchaser to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments delivered by
the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly and validly
taken and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser. This Agreement
constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws of general application
now or hereafter in effect affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles
of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). The
purchase by the Purchaser of the Private Placement Common Stock does not conflict with the
organizational documents of the Purchaser or with any material contract by which the Purchaser or
its property is bound, or any laws or regulations or decree, ruling or judgment of any court
applicable to the Purchaser or its property.




          4.5 The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the offering of the Private Placement
Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act on the
grounds that the offering and sale of the Private Placement Common Stock is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and exempt from registration
pursuant to applicable state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, the shares of Private
Placement Common Stock will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act
and such laws and may not be sold unless the Private Placement Common Stock is subsequently
registered under the Securities Act and qualified under state law or unless an exemption from such
registration and such qualification is available.

Stock shall be endorsed with the following legend or a substantially similar legend:



          “The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities
