(e)        Company’s Right to Reject Subscriptions and/or Terminate Offering.  Notwithstanding anything in this agreement or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, the Company shall have the right in it sole discretion, upon notice to each applicable Investor, at any time prior to the applicable Closing, to: (i) reject such Investor’s subscription in whole or in part, and (ii) to terminate the offering of Conversion Shares effected pursuant hereto.
 
2.      Representations and Warranties of Company.

3.      Representations and Warranties of Investors. Each Investor, for that Investor alone, represents and warrants to Company upon the acquisition of the Conversion Shares, as follows:
 
(a)           Binding Obligation. Such Investor has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.  Each of this Agreement executed by such Investor is a valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.  The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Investor.
 
(b)           No Transfer or Assignment of Securities or Claims.  Such Investor has not sold, assigned, transferred or exercised any of the Warrants issued to Investor, and has not transferred or assigned any claim, right or interest associated therewith.
 
(c)           Investment Intent; Capacity to Protect Conversion Shares.  The Investor is purchasing the Conversion Shares solely for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Conversion Shares or any portion thereof, and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Conversion Shares or any portion thereof in any transaction other than a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.  The Investor also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Conversion Shares is being purchased, and will be held, for the Investor’s account only, and neither in whole or in part for any other person.
 
(d)           Accredited Investor. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Act.
 
(e)           Information Concerning Company.  The Investor has heretofore discussed the Company’s plans, operations and financial condition with the Company’s and the Company’s officers and has heretofore received all such information as the Investor has deemed necessary and appropriate to enable the Investor to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in the Conversion Shares, and the Investor has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.

 
-5-

 

 
(f)           Economic Risk. The Investor realizes that the purchase of the Conversion Shares will be a highly speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk, and the Investor is able, without impairing the Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on its investment.
 
(g)           Risk Factor Disclosure.  Investor has reviewed the Risk Factor Disclosure memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit A describing some of the risks associated with an investment in the equity Conversion Shares of the Company and the risks associated with the Company’s business.  Investor has further reviewed the Company’s SEC Reports, including without limitation the additional risk factor disclosure contained therein.
 
(h)           Advice of Counsel and Tax Advisors.  The Investor has obtained, or has had the opportunity to obtain, the advice of independent legal and tax counsel with respect to this Agreement and all legal and tax matters relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.
 
(i)           Restricted Securities.  The Investor understands and acknowledges that:
 
(i)           The Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Investors’ investment intent as expressed herein. The Investor understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Investor’s representations were predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Conversion Shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Conversion Shares, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future; and
 
(ii)           The Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is otherwise available.  The Investor further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Conversion Shares.  In addition, the Investor understands that any certificate or certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Conversion Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.
 
4.      Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Waivers and Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of both Company and Investors constituting a majority in interest of the Conversion Shares subscribed for under this Agreement (a “Majority in Interest”).

(c)           Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
 
(d)           Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of Company and the Investors shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

(k)           Separability of Agreements; Severability of this Agreement. Company’s agreement with each of the Investors is a separate agreement and the sale of Conversion Shares to each of the Investors is a separate sale.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of each Investor hereunder are several rights, not rights jointly held with any of the other Investors.  Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the enforceability of the Agreement or any part thereof, by any Investor whether arising by reason of the law of the respective Investor’s domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other Investors.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
