            2.9       Independent Legal Advice.  The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge that each has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has consulted with its own legal counsel, and other advisors prior to execution of the within Agreement.

            2.10     Acknowledgment.  The Purchaser understands that the Notes are being offered and sold to it in reliance of specific exemptions from the registration requirements of Federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Notes.

3.         Resales 

            The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the Notes may and will only be resold (a) pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Act; or (b) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act.

            5.2       Corporate Condition.  None of the Company’s filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (such filings, the “SEC Reports”), including, but not limited to, those reports referenced in Section 5.5 below, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  There have been no material adverse changes in the Company’s business, properties, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects since the date of those reports which have not been disclosed to the Purchasers in writing.  Further, all material non-public information (other than the specific information respecting the sale of the Notes themselves) respecting the Company, its business and its financial condition, as the same would be required to be disclosed in an SEC Report or registration statement (or corresponding prospectus) if the Notes were otherwise being registered for sale by the Company, has been so publicly reported or disclosed prior to the sale of the Notes as contemplated herein.

            5.3       Authorization.  The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) have been approved by a majority of disinterested directors.  The Transaction Documents constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. “Transaction Documents” means, collectively, this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated on or about the date hereof among certain subsidiaries of the Company and Orchard Capital Corp., as the collateral agent for the Purchasers (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B), and each of the other documents entered into or delivered by the parties hereto, if any, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

            5.7       No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the issuance of the Notes and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or any indenture, credit agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or any of its subsidiaries’ properties or assets are bound, or any existing applicable decree, judgment or order of any court, Federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or any of its subsidiaries’ properties or assets.
