SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS
 
Each Seller, for itself and for no other Seller, hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, as follows:
 
3.1 Organization; Authorization; Enforcement. If such Seller is an entity, such Seller is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by such Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Seller and no further action is required by such Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed by such Seller and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors.
 
3.3 Ownership of Securities. Such Seller (i) is the sole record owner and legal owner of the Securities set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I, and (ii) has good, valid and marketable title to such Securities free and clear of all Encumbrances. Seller has no reason to believe that the Securities have not been duly and validly issued. When delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, the Securities shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
 
3.4 No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with or violate any (A) statute, law regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Seller is subject or (B) if such Seller is an entity, any provision of such Seller’s organizational documents (each as amended through the date hereof) or (ii) require any notice or consent under, any agreement to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller is bound or to which the Securities are or may be bound or affected or result in the imposition of any Encumbrance upon the Securities or (C) require the Seller to give any notice to, make any filings with, or obtain any authorization of any Governmental Authority.

3.6 Exempt Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Section 4.2, the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby are, to the best knowledge of the Sellers, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Neither such Seller nor any Person acting on its behalf has taken or is, to the knowledge of such Seller, contemplating taking any action which could subject the offering or sale of such Securities to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Neither such Seller, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf, has engaged, nor will they engage, in any “direct selling efforts” (within the meaning ascribed to such term in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) with respect to the sale of the Securities. The sale of the Securities by such Seller is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
 
3.7 Fees. No fees or commissions will be payable by the Purchaser to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement made by or on behalf of such Seller.
 
3.8 Adequacy of Purchase Price. Such Seller is aware that the Purchaser in the future may generate greater value with respect to its Securities than such Seller will receive for such Securities pursuant to this Agreement, especially since the Purchaser is a member of the controlling group of the Company and the Securities may be added to the control block. Such Seller is also aware that the Purchaser may purchase securities of the Company from other shareholders of the Company, including large shareholders, either alone or together with other purchasers, for consideration that may exceed the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement and/or pursuant to other terms and conditions that may be more favorable to the sellers than the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such Seller waives any right to receive any consideration for selling its Securities to the Purchaser (other than the consideration specifically payable pursuant to this Agreement) and waives any possible claim against the Purchaser with respect to the fairness of the purchase price payable hereunder.

4.1 Organization; Authorization; Enforcement. The Purchaser is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.
