This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to Company, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms. Securities to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity (“Person”) to sell, transfer or grant participations to any Person, with respect to any of the Purchaser’s Securities.

Purchaser understands and agrees that the purchase of Securities is a high risk investment and that Purchaser is able to afford and bear an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of Company, including a risk of total loss of such investment. Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in Securities indefinitely because Securities may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration(s) is available.

2.6 Disclosure of Information. Purchaser has been given access to full and complete information regarding Company and has utilized such access to Purchaser’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining such information regarding Company as Purchaser has reasonably requested.

Purchaser understands that Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser acknowledges that Company has no obligation to register or qualify Securities. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period of Securities, or requirements relating to Company that are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.

Purchaser is not receiving Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or via the Internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting. Purchaser has not acquired Securities as a result of, and will not engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the United States in respect of any of Securities which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of any of Securities; provided, however, that Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of any of Securities pursuant to registration of any of Securities pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein.

2.14 Economic Considerations. Purchaser is not relying on Company, or its affiliates or agents with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. Purchaser has relied solely on his, her or its own advisors.

2.15 Compliance with Laws. Any resale of Securities during the “distribution compliance period” as defined in Rule 902(f) to Regulation S shall only be made in compliance with exemptions from registration afforded by Regulation S. Further, any such sale of Securities in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Purchaser will not offer to sell or sell Securities in any jurisdiction unless Purchaser obtains all required consents, if any.

Purchaser understands that Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Purchaser to acquire Securities.

At the time of (a) the offer by the Company and (b) the acceptance of the offer by such person or entity, of the Preferred Shares, such person or entity was outside the United States.

Such person or entity is acquiring the Preferred Shares for such Shareholder’s own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others and is not purchasing the Preferred Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person, or with a view towards distribution to any U.S. person, in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Such person or entity will make all subsequent offers and sales of the Preferred Shares either (x) outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S; (y) pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act; or (z) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Specifically, such person or entity will not resell the Preferred Shares to any U.S. person or within the United States prior to the expiration of a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is one year thereafter (the “Distribution Compliance Period”), except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Such person or entity has no present plan or intention to sell the Preferred Shares in the United States or to a U.S. person at any predetermined time, has made no predetermined arrangements to sell the Preferred Shares and is not acting as a Distributor of such securities.

Neither such person or entity, its Affiliates nor any Person acting on behalf of such person or entity, has entered into, has the intention of entering into, or will enter into any put option, short position or other similar instrument or position in the U.S. with respect to the Preferred Shares at any time after the Closing Date through the Distribution Compliance Period except in compliance with the Securities Act.

Such person or entity consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Preferred Shares substantially in the form set forth in Section 3.12.

Such person or entity is not acquiring the Preferred Shares in a transaction (or an element of a series of transactions) that is part of any plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

Such person or entity has sufficient knowledge and experience in finance, securities, investments and other business matters to be able to protect such person’s or entity’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Such person or entity has consulted, to the extent that it has deemed necessary, with its tax, legal, accounting and financial advisors concerning its investment in the Preferred Shares.

10.

Such person or entity understands the various risks of an investment in the Preferred Shares and can afford to bear such risks for an indefinite period of time, including, without limitation, the risk of losing its entire investment in the Preferred Shares.

11.

Such person or entity has read the Agreement to which this Representation is attached and the Memorandum and has been furnished during the course of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with all other information regarding the Company that such person or entity has requested and all such information is sufficient for such person or entity to evaluate the risks of investing in the Preferred Shares.

12.

Such person or entity has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Preferred Shares.

13.

Such person or entity is not relying on any representations and warranties concerning the Company made by the Company or any officer, employee or agent of the Company, other than those contained in this Agreement or the Memorandum.
