4.  Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a)  Authority. This Agreement and each exhibit hereto that is required to be executed by Investor has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Investor and is a valid and binding agreement of the Investor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(b)  No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Investor and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Investor's organizational documents or any material agreement, contract or other instrument to which the Investor is a party or (ii) result in a violation of any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Investor or by which any material property or asset of the Investor is bound or affected, nor is the Investor otherwise in violation of, conflict with or default under any of the foregoing (except in each case for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect). The Investor is not required under any federal, state or local law, rule o r regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)  No Encumbrances. The Shares to be purchased by the Company are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or interests of any kind whatsoever of any other person or entity.

5.  Miscellaneous.

(a)  Counterparts; Facsimile; Amendments. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the parties and shall be deemed to be an original instrument which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Except as otherwise stated herein, in lieu of the original documents, a facsimile transmission or copy of the original documents shall be as effective and enforceable as the original. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the Company and each of the Investors.

(b)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement (along with the other agreements and documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written relating to the subject matter hereof.

(c)  Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

(d)  Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

(e)  Fees and Expenses. Each of the Company and the Investors agrees to pay its own expenses incident to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of any of its financial advisors.

(f)  Brokerage. Each of the parties hereto represents that it has had no dealings in connection with the transactions contemplated herein with any finder or broker who will demand payment of any fee or commission from the other.  The Company, on the one hand, agrees and the Investors, on the other hand, jointly and severally agree to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any person claiming brokerage commissions or finder's fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g)  Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) with the written consent of the Company and the Investors. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 5(g) shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Investors and each transferee of the securities issuable hereunder.

(h)  Indemnification.

i.  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors, their respective Affiliates (as defined in SEC Rule 405) and their respective officers, directors, partners and members (collectively, the "Investor Indemnitees"), from and against any and all damages, expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Investor Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in connection with:

1.  any misrepresentation by the Company or breach of any of the Company's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or exhibits hereto; or

2.  any failure by the Company to perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement or any exhibits hereto.

ii.  Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners and members (collectively, the "Company Indemnitees"), from and against any and all damages, expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Company Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in connection with:

1.  any misrepresentation by the Investor or breach of any of the Investor's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or exhibits hereto; or

2.  any failure by the Investor to perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(i)  Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) hand delivered, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.
