     8.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER. In order to induce the Company to issue this Note and the Warrant to the original Holder, the original Holder has made representations and warranties to the Company as follows.
     8.1   Authorization. This Note and the Warrant when executed and delivered by the Holder will constitute, Holder’s valid and legally binding obligations, enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.

     8.3   No Solicitation. At no time was Holder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Securities.
     8.4   Disclosure of Information. The Holder has received or has had full access to all the information such Holder considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder had access. The foregoing, however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 7 above.
     8.5   Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of the Securities involves substantial risk. Holder (i) has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the

6


 

development stage and acknowledges that such Holder is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of Holder’s investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Securities and protecting Holder’s own interests in connection with this investment in the Securities or (ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
     8.6   Accredited Investor Status. Holder is familiar with the definition of, and qualifies as, an “accredited Holder” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
     8.7   Restricted Securities. Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (“Rule 144”) since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder the Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Holder further understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities, and the Company has no present plans to do so. Furthermore, Holder is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act on resale of the Securities without such registration. Holder understands that, whether or not the Securities may be resold in the future without registration under the Securities Act, no public market now exists for any of the Securities and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
     8.8   Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:
          (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such effective registration statement; or
          (b) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and, at the expense of Holder or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.8, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer: (i) of any Securities in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act when the Company is promptly provided evidence of such compliance; (ii) of any Securities by a Holder that is a partnership or a corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership or stockholder of such corporation, (B) an affiliate of such partnership or corporation, (C) a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, (D) the estate of any deceased partner of such partnership or deceased stockholder of such corporation; or (iii) by gift, will or intestate succession by any Holder to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 8 (other than Section 8.6 above) to the same extent as if the transferee had been an original Holder hereunder.
     8.9   Legends. Such Holder understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Securities will bear legends substantially similar to those set forth below in addition to any other

7


 

legend that may be required by applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, below or any other agreement between the Company and such Holder:

          (b)   Any legend required by the laws of the State of California, including any legend required by the California Department of Corporations or any other state securities laws.
     The legend set forth in (a) above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing the Securities upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that either (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or (ii) such security can be freely transferred in a public sale (other than pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act) without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Securities.
     8.10   Acknowledgement of Limited Scope of Security Interest. Holder acknowledges that the security interest granted in the Collateral pursuant to Section 5 above is limited only to future payments payable under the terms of the Financed Consumer Notes after an Event of Default hereunder.
