 9. Consultant Representations. Client is entering into this Agreement and issuing the Shares to the Consultant in
reliance upon the following representations made by the Consultant: 
 (a) Consultant has had adequate opportunity to obtain publicly available information
from the Client concerning the business of the Client. Client has not disclosed any material non-public information to Consultant in connection with the issuance of the Shares. Consultant has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Client, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Client and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the issuance of the Shares.

 (b) The Shares to be issued hereunder are being acquired by Consultant for Consultant’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view
to resale or distribution (except pursuant to a registration as provided in Section 6). 
 (c) Consultant either has a pre-existing personal or business
relationship with the Client or its officers, directors or controlling persons, or by reason of Consultant’s business or financial experience, or the business or financial experience of their professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and
who are not compensated by the Client, directly or indirectly, have the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the issuance of the Shares. 
 (d) Consultant understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the securities laws of any state thereof or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction, nor is such registration contemplated. Consultant understands and agrees further that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and appropriate state securities laws or an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act and appropriate state securities laws covering the sale of the Shares, as applicable, is available. Consultant understands that legends stating that the Shares has not been registered under the
Securities Act and state securities laws and setting out or referring to the restrictions on the transferability and resale of the Shares will be placed on the certificates representing the Shares. Consultant’s overall commitment to the Client
and other investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Consultant’s net worth and Consultant has no need for immediate liquidity in Consultant’s investment in the Client. 
 (e) Consultant has had the opportunity to review the Client’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the
Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 22, 2007, which contains the most recent public information regarding the Client (the “SEC Filings’), including certain risk factors related to the Client and an investment in the Client.
Consultant understands that certain forward-looking statements that may be contained in the SEC Filings by their nature 

  

 4 








 
involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis that may or may not be correct; that there can be no assurance that such forward-looking
statements will be accurate; and that such forward-looking statements should not be relied on as a promise or representation of the future performance of the Client. 
 (f) Consultant has consulted to the extent deemed appropriate by Consultant with Consultant’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning the issuance of Shares. 
 (g) Consultant is a corporation which is authorized to purchase the Shares and otherwise to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. The person signing this
Agreement on behalf of such entity is duly authorized by such entity to do so. This Agreement is the valid and binding agreement of Consultant and enforceable against Consultant in accordance with its terms. Such execution, delivery and compliance
by or on behalf of Consultant does not conflict with, or constitute a default under, any instruments to which Consultant is bound, any law, regulation or order to which Consultant is subject, or any agreement to which Consultant is a party or by
which Consultant is or may be bound. Consultant is organized and qualified under the law of the state indicated above. 
 (h) Consultant acknowledges that
legal counsel to the Client does not represent any Consultant, and that legal counsel to the Client shall owe no duties directly to that Consultant. Consultant acknowledges that legal counsel to the Client has not represented the interests of
Consultant, or any documents or agreements related to the investment, including this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants that it has not revealed or disclosed any confidential information to legal counsel to the Client, and that Consultant
has either engaged independent legal counsel to represent them with respect to the investment, or has had the opportunity to do so. 
 (i) Consultant is an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, such that one or more of the qualifications set forth on the attached Consultant Suitability Questionnaire applies, and Consultant has
completed, executed and delivered to the Client an Consultant Suitability Questionnaire, and the information contained in Consultant Suitability Questionnaire is true and correct. 
 10. Disclaimer of Responsibility for Act of the Client. In no event shall Consultant be required by this Agreement to represent or make management decisions for the Client. Consultant shall under no
circumstances be liable for any expense incurred or loss suffered by the Client as a consequence of such decisions, made by the Client or any affiliates or subsidiaries of the Client.
