This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Modem and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Modem enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

The transactions contemplated hereby have not been planned and will not be effected with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Modem, and will not otherwise constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under any applicable law, including section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code.

(c)          Modem is an "accredited investor" and has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. Modem is knowledgeable about investment considerations in unregistered and restricted securities.

In addition to the foregoing, Modem hereby covenants and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the TOG Operating Agreement applicable to a "Member" ofTOG.

(g)          Modem has adequate means of providing for Modem's current needs and foreseeable personal contingencies and has no need for Modem's investment in the TOG Interest to be liquid.

(h)          The execution, delivery and performance by Modem of this Agreement are within the powers of Modem and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under, or conflict with, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which Modem is a party or by which Modem is bound. The signature of Modem on this Agreement is genuine, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Modem, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(i)          Modem understands and acknowledges that TOG makes no representation or warranty and gives no assurance to Modem with respect to the value of TOG or JEC II, or of the TOG Interest or the Interest. The transfer of the Interest represents privately negotiated consideration for the TOG Interest, and Modem has determined that TOG's transfer of the TOG Interest to Modem represents fair consideration for Modem's transfer of the Interest to TOG. Modem hereby irrevocably waives and releases TOG and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from any and all actions and claims whatsoever, whether in law or equity, relating to the determination of the consideration set forth herein.
