(iii)           The Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the Purchase Price.

3.           REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER:  The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

a)           Purchase for Own Account.  Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Note solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.
 
b)           Ability to Bear Economic Risk.  Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.
 
c)           Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has been furnished with such financial and other information concerning the Company, the directors and officers of the Company, and the business and proposed business of the Company as the Purchaser considers necessary in connection with the Purchaser’s investment in the Note.  As a result, the Purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of the Company and has discussed with officers of the Company any questions the Purchaser may have had with respect thereto.  The Purchaser understands:

(i)             The risks involved in this investment, including the speculative nature of the investment;

(ii)            The financial hazards involved in this investment, including the risk of losing the Purchaser’s entire investment;

(iii)           The lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Securities; and

(iv)           The tax consequences of this investment.

The Purchaser has consulted with the Purchaser’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the Purchaser in the Note and the merits and risks of an investment therein.

d)           Securities Part of Private Placement.  The Purchaser has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or qualified under the securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Securities is to be effected and the Securities will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, and under any applicable state blue sky authority.  The Purchaser understands that the Company is relying in part on the Purchaser’s representations as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Purchaser’s representations, the Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Securities for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined event.  The Purchaser has no such intention.

e)           Further Limitations on Disposition.  Purchaser further acknowledges that the Securities are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore, any certificates reflecting the ownership interest in the Securities will contain a restrictive legend substantially similar to the following:
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE HOLDER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
f)           Accredited Investor Status.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act because Purchaser was not formed for the purpose of investing in the Securities, has or will have other substantial business or investments, and each of its members is an Accredited Investor.  For purposes hereof, an “Accredited Investor” is one that either:
 
(i)             has a net worth of at least $1,000,000 (including home and personal property), or

(ii)            had an individual income of more than $200,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years, and reasonably expects to have an individual income in excess of $200,000 in the current calendar year; or along with Purchaser’s spouse had joint income in excess of $300,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years, and reasonably expects to have a joint income in excess of $300,000 in the current calendar year.

For purposes of this Agreement, “joint income” means, “adjusted gross income,” as reported for Federal income tax purposes, including any income attributable to a spouse or to property owned by a spouse, and increased by the following amounts:  (i) the amount of any interest income received which is tax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) the amount of losses claimed as a limited partner in a limited partnership (as reported on Schedule E of Form 1040), (iii) any deduction claimed for depletion under Section 611 et seq. of the Code and (iv) any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income pursuant to the provisions of Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code as it was in effect prior to enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “net worth” means (except as otherwise specifically defined) the excess of total assets at fair market value, including home and personal property, over total liabilities, including mortgages and income taxes on unrealized appreciation of assets.

g)           Purchaser Authorization.  The Purchaser is empowered and duly authorized to enter into this Agreement under any governing document, partnership agreement, trust instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision or the like; this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms; and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser is empowered and duly authorized to do so by the governing document or trust instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision, board of directors or stockholder resolution, or the like.

g)           Registration Rights.  If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Act, including under an S-1 Registration Statement or otherwise, it will each such time give written notice to Purchaser of its intention so to do.  Upon the written request of Purchaser given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice, the Company will use its best efforts to cause all shares underlying the conversion of the Note to be registered under the Act (with the securities which the Company at the time propose to register).  All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this section, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of all independent accountants, or counsel for the Company and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration and the expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction shall be paid by the Company.
