(i)                 No Registration. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser, the issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

4.      Investment Representations. In connection with the receipt of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

(a)               The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement do not and will not contravene or constitute a default under, or violation of, or be subject to penalties under, (i) any agreement (or require the consent of any party under any such agreement that has not been made or obtained) to which Purchaser is a party, or (ii) any judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon Purchaser, except where such contravention, default, violation or failure to obtain a consent, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to impair Purchaser’s ability to perform fully any obligation which Purchaser has or will have under this Agreement.

(b)               Purchaser understands the definition of the term “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and qualifies as an accredited investor.

(c)               Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law. Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Securities to any other person or entity in such a “distribution.”

(d)               Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(e)               Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale.

(f)                By reason of his business and financial experience, Purchaser has the ability to protect her own interests in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

5.      Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

The certificate or certificates representing the Securities shall bear such legends as the Company deems to be required for the purpose of compliance with applicable Federal or state securities laws or as otherwise required by law.

6.      Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

The Company shall not effect any exercise or conversion of any Company security, and the Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise or convert any portion of any Company security, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise or conversion, the Purchaser (together with the Purchaser’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company security with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise or conversion of the remaining, nonexercised or nonconverted portion of the Company security to which such determination is being made that is beneficially owned by the Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Purchaser that the Purchaser is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchaser may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Purchaser, the Company shall within two trading days confirm orally and in writing to the Purchaser the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Purchaser or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding. The Purchaser, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

7.      Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.      Miscellaneous.

(a)               This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b)               This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(c)               The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.
