The undersigned hereby further represents and warrants as follows:

 

   

 

 

(a)                The undersigned is a natural person and is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Act and satisfies at least one of the categories of accredited investors set forth in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. [If the undersigned is not a natural person, please complete Annex A]

 

has an individual net worth (determined by subtracting total liabilities from total assets), or joint net worth with such person’s spouse, in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding such person's primary residence and indebtedness thereon up to the gross value of such residence, except that if the amount of such indebtedness outstanding at the time of the purchase of the Note exceeds the amount of such indebtedness outstanding 60 days before such time, other than as a result of the acquisition of the primary residence, the amount of such excess shall be included as a liability in the determination of such person's net worth); or

(b)               The undersigned has, or the undersigned and the undersigned’s purchaser representative (if any) together have, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and the undersigned is, or the undersigned and any purchaser representative together are, capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Note and any securities acquired upon the conversion of the Note (the “Securities”) and of making an informed investment decision.

 

(c)                The undersigned understands that an investment in the Company is speculative in nature, involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons of substantial means who have no need for liquidity in their investment.

 

(d)               The undersigned understands and has fully considered for purposes of this investment that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Note and any Securities and that there will be no public market for the Note or the Securities (to the extent the securities are not shares of the Company’s common stock), and, accordingly, it probably will not be possible for the undersigned to liquidate the undersigned’s investment in the Note or the Securities (to the extent the securities are not shares of the Company’s common stock) in the case of an emergency or to use the Note or the Securities (to the extent the securities are not shares of the Company’s common stock) as collateral for a loan.

 

(e)                The undersigned confirms that the undersigned (i) is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Note and any Securities, (ii) is able to hold the Note and/or the Securities for an indefinite period of time, (iii) is able to afford a complete loss of the undersigned’s investment and (iv) has adequate means of providing for the undersigned’s current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment.

(f)                The undersigned confirms that, in making the decision to purchase the Note, each such undersigned and the undersigned’s purchaser’s representatives have been given the opportunity to ask questions of and to receive answers from the Company concerning the Note and the Company.

 

(g)               The Note is being acquired by the undersigned in good faith solely for the undersigned’s own personal account for investment purposes only and are not being purchased with a view to or for resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof; the undersigned has no contract, understanding, undertaking, agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to any person the Note or any part thereof; the undersigned has no current plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement, understanding or arrangement; and the undersigned understands that the legal consequences of the foregoing representations and warranties are that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Note and any Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Note and the Securities have not been registered under the Act and therefore cannot be sold in the United States unless they are subsequently registered under the Act (which the Company is not obligated to do and has no current intention of doing) or an exemption from such registration is available under the Act. The undersigned further agrees not to engage in any hedging transactions with regard to the Note or the Securities unless in compliance with the Act.

 

(h)               The information set forth in this Agreement regarding the undersigned is true, correct and complete.

 

The foregoing representations, warranties and undertakings are made by the undersigned with the intent that they be relied upon in determining the undersigned’s suitability as investors in the Company, and the undersigned hereby agrees that such representations and warranties shall survive the undersigned’s purchase of the Note. If more than one person is signing this Agreement, each representation, warranty and undertaking made herein shall be a joint and several representation, warranty or undertaking of each such person.
