4.4           Consents.  All consents, approvals, orders and authorizations required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the purchase of the Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein have been obtained or made, other than such consents, approvals, orders and authorizations the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Adverse Effect.

4.5           Brokers and Finders.  The Purchaser has not retained, utilized or been represented by any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.6           Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act. Except as specifically provided for in the Agreement, the Purchaser has no present agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the disposition of the Shares except as provided in Section 6.2 of this Agreement.

4.7           General Solicitation.  The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act), including, but not limited to, any advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or on the Internet or broadcast over radio, television or the Internet, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.

4.8           Investor Status.

(a)           The Purchaser certifies and represents to the Company that the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b)           The Purchaser (i) is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its prospective investment in the Shares, and (iii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment.

4.9           Securities Not Registered.  The Purchaser understands that the issuance of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Shares must continue to be held by the Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.  The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 and will bear restrictive legends as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below).  The Purchaser understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various conditions including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period and on requirements relating to the Company, which are outside of the Purchaser’s control and which the Company is under no obligation to satisfy and may not be able to satisfy, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.
