4.           Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)The Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized.

(b)The Holder has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and such execution, delivery and consummation have been duly authorized by all necessary action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. The Holder is the owner, beneficially and of record, of the Existing Warrant[s], free and clear of any encumbrances.

(c)Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any provision of the Holders organizational documents, (ii) constitute, with or without notice or the passage of time or both, a breach violation or default under any law, rule, regulation, permit, license, agreement or other instrument of the Holder or to which the Holder or the Holders property is subject, or (iii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or notification to, or filing with, any federal, state, local or foreign court, governmental agency or regulatory or administrative authority on the part of the Holder [At least one of the Warrant Exchange Agreements included the following: except in the case of (ii) and (iii) as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Holder to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement].

(d)This Agreement is made with the Holder in reliance upon the Holders representation, which by the Holders execution of this Agreement the Holder hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by the Holder are and will be acquired for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof, and that the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

[At least one of the Warrant Exchange Agreements included the following:

(e)The Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information supplied or to which it had access.]

(f)The Holder acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is a speculative risk. The Holder is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, can bear the economic risk of its investment (including possible complete loss of such investment) for an indefinite period of time and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. The Holder represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares to be acquired hereunder. The Holder understands that the Shares to be acquired hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the securities laws of any jurisdiction, by reason of reliance upon certain exemptions, and that the reliance on such exemptions is predicated, in part, upon the accuracy of the Holders representations and warranties in this Section 4. The Holder is familiar with Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and represents that it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of such Regulation D.

(g)The Holder understands that the Shares to be acquired hereunder are characterized as restricted securities under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the legend described in Section 4(h) below. The Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(h)The Holder understands that each of the certificates evidencing the Shares to be acquired hereunder may bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, RESOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT EXCEPT (I) TO THE ISSUER OR A SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (II) TO NON-U.S. PERSONS PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(i)Neither the Holder nor anyone acting on the Holders behalf has paid or given any person a commission or other remuneration directly or indirectly in connection with or in order to solicit or facilitate the exchange of the Existing Warrant[s] for the Shares.

(j)The Holder acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Holder has not taken any action that would cause such exemption not to be available.
