subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser desires to subscribe
for and purchase, and the Company desires to sell to the Purchaser that number
of shares of Offered Securities set forth on Schedule II attached hereto
opposite the Purchaser’s name (each share, a “Purchased Share” and, collectively, the “Purchased Shares”),  which
Purchased Shares shall have a Series A Preferred Unreturned Paid-in

WARRANTIES

AND
AGREEMENTS OF THE PURCHASER

 

3.1           The
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)            Authorization. The Purchaser is authorized and qualified
and has full right and power to execute and deliver this Agreement and all
other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which the Purchaser is
a party, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This
Agreement and all other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which

against the Purchaser in accordance with their terms.

 

(b)            Investment
Representations.

 

(i)            The Purchased Shares to be received by the
Purchaser will be acquired by it for its own account (or in the case of a
custodian, for the account of its affiliated funds), not as a nominee or agent,
and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof in
violation of applicable federal and state securities laws, and it has no
current intention of selling, granting a participation in or otherwise
distributing the same, in each case, in violation of applicable federal and
state securities laws. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further
represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant a participation to such
person, or to any third person, with respect to any of the Purchased Shares to
be received by the Purchaser, in each case, in violation of applicable federal
and state securities laws.

 

(ii)           The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment.
The Purchaser further represents that it has had, during the course of the
transactions contemplated hereby and prior to its purchase of the Purchased
Shares, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the
Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain
additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information
furnished to it or to which it had

 

 

access. The Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has
passed upon this investment or upon the Company, nor has any such agency made
any finding or determination as to this investment.

 

(iii)          The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares to be received may
not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under
the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective
registration statement covering such Purchased Shares or an available exemption
from registration under the 1933 Act, such Purchased Shares must be held
indefinitely. The Purchaser is prepared to bear the economic risk of this
investment for an indefinite period of time. In particular, the Purchaser
acknowledges that it is aware that such Purchased Shares may not be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the
conditions of that Rule are met. Among the current conditions for use of Rule 144
by certain holders is the availability to the public of current information
about the Company. Such information is not now available, and the Company has
no current plans to make such information available. The Purchaser represents
that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering such
Purchased Shares, it will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Purchased
Shares only in a manner consistent with its representations set forth herein
and then only in accordance with the Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

(iv)          The Purchaser acknowledges that this investment is not recommended for
investors who have any need for a current return on this investment or who
cannot bear the risk of losing their entire investment. The Purchaser
acknowledges that: (i) it has adequate means of providing for its current
needs and possible personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this
investment; (ii) its commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth; and (iii) its
investment in the Purchased Shares will not cause its overall financial
commitments to become excessive.

 

3.2           Legends;
Stop Transfer.

 

(a)           The
Purchaser acknowledges that all certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares
shall bear the following legend:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN
A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH

 

 

REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

 

3.3           The
certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares shall also bear any legend
required by any applicable state securities law.
