acknowledges that the tax consequences of investing in the Company
will depend on particular circumstances, and neither the Company,

responsible or liable for the tax consequences to Participant of an
investment in the Company. Participant will look solely to and rely
upon its own advisers with respect to the tax consequences of this
investment.

3.   
Representations and Warranties by the Company. The
Company represents and warrants to Participant that:


 

(a) Due Formation. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation
and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease
its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which
the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on the business, operations or financial condition of the
Company.


 

(b) Capitalization. The Company is
authorized under its Certificate of Formation, as amended, to issue
200,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s disclosure
of its issued and outstanding capital stock in its most recent SEC
Filing containing such information is accurate in all material
respects as of the date indicated in such SEC Filing. All of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock
have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable; none of such shares were issued in violation of any
pre-emptive rights; and such shares were issued in compliance in
all material respects with applicable state and federal securities
law and any rights of third parties. No Person is entitled to
pre-emptive or similar statutory or contractual rights with respect
to the issuance by the Company of any securities of the Company,
including, without limitation, the Securities. Except for stock
options, warrants, convertible notes and other convertible
securities described in the SEC Filings, there are no outstanding
warrants, options, convertible securities or other rights,
agreements or arrangements of any character under which the Company
is or may be obligated to issue any equity securities of any kind,
except as contemplated by this Agreement. There are no voting
agreements, buy-sell agreements, option or right of first purchase
agreements or other agreements of any kind among the Company and
any of the securityholders of the Company relating to the
securities of the Company held by them, except as set forth in the
SEC Filings. No Person has the right to require the Company to
register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act,
whether on a demand basis or in connection with the registration of
securities of the Company for its own account or for the account of
any other Person, except as set forth in the SEC Filings. The
issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder will not obligate the
Company to issue shares of common stock or other securities to any
other Person and will not result in the adjustment of the exercise,
conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.
The Company does not have outstanding stockholder purchase rights
or “poison pill” or any similar arrangement in effect
giving any Person the right to purchase any equity interest in the
Company upon the occurrence of certain events.


 

(c) Authority; Enforceability. This
Subscription delivered together with this Subscription or in
connection herewith have been duly authorized, executed, and
delivered by the Company and are legal, valid and binding
agreements, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium, and similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity; and the Company has the requisite corporate
power and authority and has taken all requisite corporate action
necessary for, and no further action on the part of the Company,
its officers, directors and stockholders is necessary for, (i) the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Subscription, (ii)
the authorization of the performance of all obligations of the
Company hereunder or thereunder, and (iii) the authorization,
issuance (or reservation for issuance) and delivery of the
Shares.


 

(d) No General Solicitation.
Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor to its
knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in
any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the
meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection
with the offer or sale of the Securities.


 

(e) Governmental Consents. No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the
Company is required in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Subscription, except for the
approval of the NYSE American. Subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Participant set forth in
Section 2 hereof, the Company has
taken all action necessary to exempt (i) the issuance and sale of
the Shares and (ii) the other transactions contemplated by this
Subscription, from the provisions of any stockholder rights plan or
other “poison pill” arrangement, any anti-takeover,
business combination or control share law or statute binding on the
Company or to which the Company or any of its assets and properties
is subject that is or could reasonably be expected to become
applicable to the Participant as a result of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the issuance of
the Shares and the ownership, disposition or voting of the
Securities by the Participant or the exercise of any right granted
to the Participant pursuant to this Subscription or the other
transaction documents relating hereto.


 

(f) No Litigation. There is no
action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
or any of its subsidiaries that questions the validity of this
Subscription or the right of the Company to enter into it, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that
might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse changes in the assets, condition or affairs of the
Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current
equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware that
there is any basis for the foregoing. Neither the Company nor any
of its subsidiaries is a party or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or
government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries currently pending or which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries intends to initiate. The foregoing includes, without
limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending
or threatened in writing (or any basis therefor known to the
Company) involving the prior employment of any of the
Company’s employees, their use in connection with the
Company’s business, or any information or techniques
allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their
obligations under any agreements with prior employers.

(g) Compliance with Other
Instruments.


 

(i) The Company is not
in violation or default (and no event has occurred that has not
been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
result in a default by the Company), of any provisions of its
formation documents, bylaws or of any instrument, judgment, order,
writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it is
bound or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state
statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, nor has the
Company received written notice of a claim that it is in default
under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or
not such default or violation has been waived). The execution,
delivery and performance of this Subscription, and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such
violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the
passage of time and giving of notice, either a breach or default
under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree
or contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company.


 

(ii) To
its knowledge, the Company has avoided every condition, and has not
performed any act, the occurrence of which would result in the
Company’s loss of any right granted under any license,
distribution agreement or other agreement.


 

(h) Tax Returns and Payments. The
Company has filed all tax returns and reports as required by law.
These returns and reports are true and correct in all material
respects. The Company has paid all taxes and other assessments
due.


 

(i) Permits. The Company and each
of its subsidiaries has all franchises, permits, licenses and any
similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business, the
lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business,
properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company. The
Company is not in default in any material respect under any of such
franchises, permits, licenses or other similar
authority.

 

(j) Offering Valid. Assuming the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of Participant
contained in Section 2 hereof, the offer, sale
and issuance of the Securities will be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and will have been registered
or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification)
under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all
applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any agent
on its behalf has solicited or will solicit any offers to sell or
has offered to sell or will offer to sell all or any part of the
Shares to any person or persons so as to bring the sale of such
Shares by the Company within the registration provisions of the
Securities Act or any state securities laws. Subject to receipt of
required NYSE American additional listing approval, at or prior to
Closing the issuance and sale of the Securities does not contravene
the rules and regulations of the NYSE American.

 

(k)
Valid Issuance. The Shares have
been duly and validly authorized and, when issued and paid for
pursuant to this Subscription, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable, and shall be free and clear of all encumbrances
and restrictions (other than those created by the Participant),
except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the transaction
documents or imposed by applicable securities laws.

 

(l)
SEC Filings. The Company has
filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by the Company as of the date of this
Agreement, under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including

preceding the date hereof (collectively, the “SEC
Filings”). At the time of filing thereof, the SEC
Filings complied in all material respects with the requirements of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the
rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. All material
agreements to which the Company is a party or to which the property
or assets of the Company is subject are included as part of or
identified in the SEC Filings, to the extent such agreements are
required to be included or identified pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC.

 

(m)
Title to Properties. The
Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all
real properties and all other properties and assets owned by them,
in each case free from liens, encumbrances and defects, except such
as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company and
its subsidiaries hold any leased real or personal property under
valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions, except such as
would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate,
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect
at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent

consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates
shown and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the periods shown, subject in the case of unaudited financial
statements to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments, and
such consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved (“GAAP”)
(except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and
except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all
footnotes required by GAAP, and, in the case of quarterly financial
statements, except as permitted by Form 10-Q under the Exchange
Act). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Filings filed prior to the date hereof,
the Company has not incurred any liabilities, contingent or
otherwise, except those incurred in the ordinary course of
business, consistent (as to amount and nature) with past practices
since the date of such financial statements, none of which,
individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)
Brokers and Finders. No Person
will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Subscription, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon
the Company or Participant for any commission, fee or other
compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company. No
Participant shall have any obligation with respect to any fees, or
with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons
for fees, in each case of the type contemplated by this
Section 3(o) that may be due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Subscription.

 

(p)
Transactions with Affiliates.
Except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Filings, none of the
executive officers or directors of the Company and, to the
Company’s knowledge, none of the employees of the Company is
presently a party to any material transaction with the Company
(other than as holders of stock options, and for services as
employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of
services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the Company’s
knowledge, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.

 

(q)
Disclosures. Neither the
Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has provided the
Participant or their agents or counsel with any information that
constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute material,
non-public information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries,
other than with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
which will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four
business days of the Closing. The SEC Filings do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Company understands and confirms that the
Participant will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.

 

(r)
Required Filings. Except for
the transactions contemplated by this Subscription, including the
acquisition of the Securities contemplated hereby, no event or
circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the
Company or its business, properties, operations or financial
condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation,
currently requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company
but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed.

 

(s)
Manipulation of Price. The
Company has not, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no Person
acting on its behalf has taken, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale
or resale of any of the Securities.

harmless each Participant and its Affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, members, managers, employees, and agents, from

of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be
performed on the part of the Company under this Subscription, and
will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are
incurred by such Person solely to the extent such amounts have been
finally judicially determined not to have resulted from such
Person’s fraud or willful misconduct.

CERTIFICATE OF ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS AND INVESTOR
INFORMATION

 

           
Except as may be indicated by the undersigned below, the
undersigned is an “accredited

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities

indicating the basis on which he is representing his status as an
“accredited
investor”:

and loan association or other institution as defined in Section
3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual
or fiduciary capacity; a broker or dealer registered pursuant to
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Securities Exchange

2(13) of the Securities Act; an investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development
company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act; a small

Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business
Investment Act of 1958; a plan established and maintained by a
state, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality
of a state or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its
employees, and such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
an employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision
is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such
Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association,
insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or if the
employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or,
if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by
persons that are “accredited
investors”;

 

____  a
private business development company as defined in Section
