2.  Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser

2.1  The information set forth on the questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) immediately following this Agreement is true and accurate in all respects the provisions of which are incorporated herein in their entirety and made a part hereof, as though fully set forth herein and the Purchaser is either an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, or is not a U.S. Person, as defined in the Memorandum. If you are not a U.S. Person, the Company will provide you with an alternate questionnaire.

3. Representations and Warranties of each Purchaser. Each Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and covenants with the Company as follows:

3.1 Legal Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite individual, corporate, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or fiduciary power, as appropriate, and is authorized, if such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust, to enter into this Agreement, to purchase the Units hereunder, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

3.2 Due Execution. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly authorized, if such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or fiduciary, executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents will be a valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser.

3.3 Access to Information. Purchaser has thoroughly reviewed this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 3 which discloses certain material information about the Company. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has been given full and complete access to the Company and to all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and the prospective Business Acquisition and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Units which have been requested by Purchaser or its advisors. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and has inquired with, the officers of the Company regarding its business prospects and the Securities, all as such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s qualified representative have found necessary to make an informed investment decision to purchase the Units or exercise the Warrant. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Purchaser understands that an investment in the Units or exercise of the Warrants involves a significant degree of risk. The Purchaser understands that if the Business Acquisition is not consummated, funds will be returned to the Purchaser less such Purchaser’s pro rata share of the offering expenses.

3.4 Restricted Securities.

3.4.1 Each Purchaser has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and that Units (and, upon exercise thereof, shares underlying the Warrants) are being offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, or under Regulation S, and that the Company’s reliance upon Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or on Regulation S, is predicated in part on such Purchaser representations as contained herein. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities will be issued as “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. None of the Securities may be resold in the absence of an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, an applicable exemption from registration is available.

3.4.2 Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for such Purchaser’s own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

3.4.3 Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Common Stock and Warrants when issued and, upon exercise of the Warrants the Warrant Shares, will bear substantially the following legend:
 
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND/OR THE SECURITIES ACT OF ANY STATE HAVING JURISDICTION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR ACTS.
 

 
 
3.4.4 Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is not liquid and is transferable only under limited conditions. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Each Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of restricted securities subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that such Rule is not now available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of any of the Securities.
 
3.4.5 The representations made by each Purchaser on the Purchaser Signature Page and in this Agreement are true and correct and do not omit any material information.
 
3.5 Purchaser Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Units and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a material adverse change in such Purchaser’s financial condition. Each Purchaser, either alone or with such Purchaser’s representative(s), otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Units.
 
3.6 Preexisting Relationship. Each Purchaser has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company, one or more of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, or the Placement Agent (as defined herein).
 
3.7 Purchases by Groups. Each Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it is not acquiring the Units as part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
4. Miscellaneous

4.1 All notices or other communications given or made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the undersigned, at the address set forth herein, and to the Company at the address set forth above.

4.2 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly performed in that state.

4.3. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by the party to be bound thereby.

4.4 This Agreement is not transferable or assignable by the Purchaser.

4.5 All references in this Agreement to the "Purchaser" shall include all parties (other than the Company) who execute this Agreement.
