4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:

4.1 Qualification and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

4.2 Authorization and Enforceability. All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company and its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes. Except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, the Company has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

5.1 Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority (and, if such Purchaser is an individual, the capacity) to enter into this Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute such Purchaser’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as

limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

5.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement is made with such Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which such Purchaser confirms by executing this Agreement, that the Notes will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent (unless otherwise specified on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto), and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Notes. If other than an individual, the Purchaser also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Notes.

5.3 Disclosure of Information; Non-Reliance. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to enable it to make an informed decision concerning an investment in the Securities. The Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes. The Purchaser confirms that the Company has not given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Notes. Specifically, the Company has provided information to the Purchaser, satisfactory to the Purchaser, relating to the filing status of the Company’s public reports. The Purchaser has had access to, and has reviewed to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, the Company’s publicly filed reports, including all Current Reports on Form 8-K. In deciding to purchase the Notes, the Purchaser is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and such Purchaser has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for such Purchaser. The Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Notes or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

5.4 Investment Experience. The Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment 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 Notes.

5.5 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is either (A) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as updated; or (B) a “sophisticated investor,” defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as investors who “have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective

investment.” The Purchaser agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Notes.

5.6 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Notes are “restricted securities” under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the Notes indefinitely unless their resales are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and registered or qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Notes for resale and further acknowledges that, if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Notes, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.

5.7 No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Notes and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Notes.

5.8 No General Solicitation. The Purchaser, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners have not either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder, solicited offers for or offered or sold the Notes by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Notes to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

5.9 Residence. If the Purchaser is an individual, such Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address shown on the signature page hereto. If the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, the Purchaser’s principal place of business is located in the state or province identified in the address shown on the signature page hereto.

5.10 Foreign Investors. If a Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Notes or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of

the Notes; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, conversion, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Notes. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Notes will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of such Purchaser’s jurisdiction.
