Chapin LLP, The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10174 (the “Closing”) at 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) on (i) September 24, 2004, or (ii) such other time and place or on such date as the Buyers and the Seller may agree upon (the “Closing Date”).  Each party shall deliver all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by such party pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing.

 

3.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Buyers.  Each of the Buyers hereby represents and warrants to the Seller, and covenants for the benefit of the Seller, with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Buyer as follows:

 

(a)           Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment in the Buyer Shares;

 

(b)           Each Buyer is acquiring the Buyer Shares for its own account and not with a view to any distribution of the Buyer Shares in violation of the Securities Act;

 

(c)           Each Buyer acknowledges that it has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, and that such Buyer recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.  Each Buyer represents that it has been furnished with all documents and other information regarding the Issuer, including the business and financial condition of the Issuer, that such Buyer has requested or desired to know and all other documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for the Buyer’s inspection and review;

 

(d)           Each Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer Shares have not been passed upon or reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).  Each Buyer agrees that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Buyer Shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from such registration is otherwise available.  The Buyer understands that the Buyer Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law by reason of a specific exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws;

 

(e)           This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement and obligation of each Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;

 

(f)            This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered on behalf of each Buyer, and each such Buyer has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder;

 

(g)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the purchase of the Buyer Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each

(h)           Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that each certificate representing the Buyer Shares will bear a restrictive legend stating that the Buyer Shares have not been registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws and referring to restriction on their transferability and sale, and any other legend required by applicable law; and

 

(i)            Each Buyer has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Buyer understands that it (and not the Seller) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sale of the Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Seller, will not conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under any of the terms or provisions of the Seller’s organizational documents or of any material provision of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets is bound, any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, or any existing applicable decree, judgment or order by any court, federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller, or any of its material properties or assets or will result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material property or assets of the Seller pursuant
