     As of the date hereof, the undersigned represents and warrants that it is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning the Company or any securities of the Company, and is entering into this Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1.

     The undersigned may notify FBW that all or part of his respective Maximum Warrant Purchase will be made by an affiliate of the undersigned (or another person or entity introduced to FBW by the undersigned (a “Designee”)) and, in such event, FBW will make such purchase on behalf of said affiliate or Designee; provided, however, that the undersigned hereby agrees to make payment of the purchase price of such purchase and to fulfill their Maximum Warrant Purchase in the event that the affiliate or Designee fails to make such payment or purchase.

     The undersigned shall instruct the Broker to make, keep and produce promptly upon request a daily time-sequenced schedule of all Warrant purchases made pursuant to this agreement, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, including (i) size, time of execution and the price of purchase and (ii) the exchange, quotation system or other facility through which the Warrant purchase occurred.
