    ARTICLE
III

    REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER

     

    Buyer
represents and warrants to the Company that the statements contained in this
ARTICLE III are
correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement.

     

    Section 3.1
Organization and Good
Standing. Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of
Delaware.

     

    Section 3.2
Power and Authority;
Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding
obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms.
Buyer has full entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to perform its obligations hereunder. Buyer has taken all actions necessary
to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of
its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and
is enforceable against, Buyer.

    Section 3.3
Investment
Representations.

     

    (a) Buyer
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D
under the Securities Act.

     

    (b) Buyer
has received, has thoroughly read, is familiar with and understands the contents
of this Agreement.

     

    (c) Buyer
hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain
significant risks. Buyer acknowledges that there is a substantial risk that it
will lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable
of bearing the risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Buyer
has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable
future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period.
Buyer understands that there presently is no public market for the Shares and
none is anticipated to develop in the foreseeable future. Buyer’s present
financial condition is such that Buyer is under no present or contemplated
future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares subscribed for hereby to
satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. Buyer’s
overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not
disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Company will not
cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

     

    (d) Buyer
acknowledges that the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act, or any state securities act, and are being sold on the basis of
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities acts, except those state securities acts that require registration of
the Shares thereunder. Reliance on such exemptions, where applicable, is
predicated in part on the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties
set forth herein. Buyer acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares will not
be transferable under any circumstances unless Buyer either registers the Shares
in accordance with federal and state securities laws or finds and complies with
an available exemption under such laws. Accordingly, Buyer hereby acknowledges
that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate its investment
in the Company.

     

    (e) There
are substantial risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Company. Buyer
acknowledges that it has read the information set forth above regarding certain
of such risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks,
including, without limitation, risks arising from the fact that the Company is
an entity with limited operating history and financial resources; and Buyer is
fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite
period, and can afford a complete loss thereof.

    (f) Buyer
has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers
from the Company and its designated representatives concerning the terms and
conditions of the offering, the Company and the business and financial condition
of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Company
possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is
necessary to assist Buyer in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the
Shares and an investment in the Company. Buyer further represents and warrants
that, prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received
such answers and obtained such information as it has deemed necessary or
advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an
investment in the Company. Buyer is not relying on any oral representation made
by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or
prospects.

     

    (g) Buyer
understands that no federal, state or other governmental authority has made any
recommendation, findings or determination relating to the merits of an
investment in the Company.

    Section 5.6

and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience
only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.

     

     

    Section 5.7

Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation

shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to
the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of laws
principles.

     

    Section 5.8
Amendments. This
Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision,
except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

     

    Section 5.9

hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any
reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law will be deemed also to
refer to Law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to
be followed by “without
limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be
construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise

subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each
representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent
significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another
representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter
(regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has
not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto
is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or
covenant.

    Section 5.12
Waiver. No waiver by any
party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any
prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior
or subsequent occurrence.
