Representations and Warranties of each Holder.

Each Holder represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

3.1

Organization’s Authority.  Such Holder is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

3.2

Ownership of Securities.  Such Holder owns, beneficially, all of the Old Notes set forth in Column I on such Holder’s Schedule I attached hereto.  Such Holder owns all of such Old Notes free and clear of any Liens (other than the obligations pursuant to this Agreement).  Without limiting the foregoing, except for such Holder’s obligations under this Agreement, such Holder has sole power of disposition with respect to all such Old Notes, with no restrictions on its rights of disposition pertaining thereto and no person or entity other than such Holder has any right to direct or approve the disposition of any such Old Notes.  All of such Holder’s Old Notes are held for the account of such Holder by the entity named on its signature page of this Agreement.

3.3

No Sale or Distribution.  Such Holder is acquiring the New Notes, and upon conversion of the New Notes will acquire the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the New Notes, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Holder does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption (including under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144) under the Securities Act and pursuant to the applicable terms of the Transaction Documents.  Such Holder is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.  Such Holder does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.

3.4

Accredited Investor Status.  Such Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.





3.5

Reliance on Exemptions.  Such Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and exchanged in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Holder set forth herein and in the Transaction Documents in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Holder to acquire the Securities.

3.6

Information.  Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Holder.  Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Holder or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Holder’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.  Such Holder understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.  Such Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice from Persons other than the Company as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

3.7

No Governmental Review.  Such Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

3.8

Transfer or Resale.  Such Holder understands that  the Securities may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless  the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws,  the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or  such Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”);  any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person) through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and  neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.  The Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Holder effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant





to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 3.8.

3.9

Validity; Enforcement.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Holder and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

3.10

No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Holder of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not  result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Holder or  conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Holder is a party, or  result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Holder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.

4.

Covenants.

4.1

Reasonable Best Efforts to Close.  The Company and each Holder shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.2

Limitations on Transfer.  During the period between the execution of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of  the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6 hereof, or  the Closing Date, no Holder shall sell, assign or transfer any interest in its Old Notes which are the subject of this Agreement, or otherwise take any action which would inhibit or impair such Holder’s ability to deliver such Old Notes at the Closing in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.5

No General Solicitation.  None of the Company or any of its affiliates or any other person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Holders and its affiliates, as to which





no covenant is made) will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the New Notes by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

4.6

Cancellation; No Distribution of Old Notes.  Upon receipt of the Old Notes by the Company, such Old Notes will be cancelled and will cease to be outstanding.  The Company shall not resell or reissue the Old Notes in any manner that would cause the Holder to be engaged in a distribution of the Old Notes under the Securities Act.

4.7

Tax Treatment.  The parties agree to treat the issuance of the New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes as a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law, and acknowledge that, depending upon the circumstances, the New Notes may bear original issue discount.

Tacking of Holding Period.  It is the intention of the parties that the exchange contemplated herein shall constitute a “recapitalization” under Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) promulgated under the Securities Act.  Accordingly, the holding period of the New Notes will be deemed to commence at the time the Old Notes were issued to the Holders.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will promptly honor all requests for conversion of the New Notes and will deliver to the Holders certificates for Conversion Shares free of any restrictive legend provided that such shares are issued upon conversion of New Notes which have been held for the requisite period under Rule 144.
