     3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER.
     Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:
          (a) It is duly organized under the laws of its jurisdiction.
          (b) It has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and each of the transactions contemplated hereby.

          (c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over Purchaser is required for the execution, delivery or performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation the purchase of the Shares.
          (d) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, nor qualified under any state securities laws, and that they are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from such registration and qualification based in part upon the representations of Purchaser contained herein.
          (e) Purchaser understands that the Shares being acquired are “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act.
          (f) Purchaser acknowledges that it has been provided access to the reports that the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are made available to the public and which contain material information about the Company as well as certain risk factors to be considered before acquiring the Shares.

          (h) Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares are registered pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and unless the disposition of such securities is qualified under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such qualification is available. Purchaser further understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from the Securities Act will be available, or, if available, that such exemption will allow Purchaser to Transfer any or all of the Shares, in the amounts, or at the time Purchaser might propose.
          (i) Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale, Transfer, or distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing the Shares. No other person has any right with respect to or interest in the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser, nor has Purchaser agreed to give any person any such interest or right in the future. Purchaser is not acquiring the Shares as part of a scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
     4. COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES.
          (a) Securities Act Restrictions. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares may not be, and Purchaser agrees that they shall not be, sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement and compliance with applicable securities legislation or an exemption from such registration and applicable securities legislation under said statutes. Purchaser agrees that the following legends have been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Shares reflecting the restrictions on transfer of the Shares described herein:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND/OR HAVE BEEN PURCHASED FROM OR ARE HELD BY A PERSON THAT MAY BE DEEMED AN AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
          Purchaser agrees that such legends will be placed on any new certificate(s) or other document(s) issued upon presentment by Purchaser of certificate(s) or other document(s) for transfer, as permitted hereunder.
          Purchaser agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, assign, transfer, offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of all or any part of the Shares) except in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration provisions, with any applicable state or other securities laws and with the terms of this Agreement or take any action that would restrict the availability of any securities exemption relied upon by Seller in connection with the sale of the Shares to Purchaser.
