5.2. Conflicts. The execution and performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements by the Purchaser and the compliance with their respective provisions by the Purchaser will not (a) conflict with or violate the organizational and operational documents of the Purchaser, or (b) require on the part of the Purchaser any filing with, or any permit, authorization, consent or approval of any agency, bureau, commission, court, authority, department, official, political subdivision, tribunal or other instrumentality of any government so as to materially adversely effect on the ability of the Purchaser to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, either a default under any mortgage,' indenture, agreement, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that would materially adversely effect the ability of the Purchaser to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.3. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally.

5.4. Reliance upon Purchaser's Representations. Purchaser understands that the Securities, at the time of issuance, may not be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement, and the issuance of such Securities hereunder, is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder, and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Purchaser's representations set forth herein.

5.5. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by the Purchaser hereunder will be acquired for the Purchaser's own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of securities laws, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of securities laws. The Purchaser is not a registered broker dealer or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer.

5.6. Investment Experience; Economic Risk. Purchaser understands that an investment in the Securities involves substantial risks. Purchaser is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of similar companies and acknowledges that Purchaser is able to fend for itself. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Purchaser can bear the economic risk of Purchaser's investment and is able, without impairing Purchaser's financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of Purchaser's investment.

5.7. Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive documents related to the Company and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and has received and read the SEC Filings filed by the Company via the SEC's EDGAR system. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Purchaser shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made pursuant to this Agreement.

5.8. Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.
 
5.9. Residence. Purchaser represents and warrants that its principal place of business is in California.
 


5.10. Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Securities are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal securities laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Purchaser represents that it is aware of the current provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a "market maker" and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Purchaser understands that the Note, the Warrant and any Warrant Shares or securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Note or Warrant Shares, may bear a legend substantially to the following effect (except that the Warrant Shares shall not bear such legend if a registration statement for such shares has been filed and declared effective for the Warrant Shares prior to their issuance):

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH OR UNLESS COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH PROVISIONS IS NOT REQUIRED"

The Securities may not be transferred by Purchaser unless either (i) they have been registered under the 1933 Act or (ii) registration is not required under the 1933 Act for the transfer of such Securities.
 
5.11. No General Solicitation. The Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any public advertising or general solicitation.
 
5.12. Brokers or Finders. The Purchaser has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by Purchaser, any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
