(d) Acquisition for Investment. The Subscriber is acquiring the Debentures solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with a distribution. The Subscriber does not have a present intention to sell the Debentures, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of the Debentures to or through any person or entity. The Subscriber acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Debentures and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the subsidiaries and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the Subscriber understands the risks of investing in development stage companies and that the purchase of the Debentures involves substantial risks.

The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. The Subscriber understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, the Subscriber will be unable to sell any Debentures without either registration under the 1933 Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

Such Subscriber understands that the Debentures have not been registered under the 1933 Act and such Subscriber will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Debentures unless pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or unless an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, such Subscriber may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Debentures to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(n) No Brokers. Such Subscriber has taken any action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
4. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each Subscriber that:
5
(a) Due Incorporation.

The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries individually, or in the aggregate and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

The Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder.
(d) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates, the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the “Bulletin Board”) or the Company’s shareholders is required for the execution by the Company of the Transaction Documents and compliance and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Debentures. The Transaction Documents and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority in the world, including without limitation, the United States, or elsewhere is required by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect or the consummation of any of the other agreements, covenants or commitments of the Company or any Subsidiary contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. Any such qualifications and filings will, in the case of qualifications, be effective on the Closing and will, in the case of filings, be made within the time prescribed by law.

(ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Debentures or any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(g) The Debentures. The Debentures upon issuance:
(i) are, or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other encumbrances, subject only to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws;

Each Subscriber hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to such prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives such Subscriber notice of the suspension of the use of such prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives such Subscriber notice that such Subscriber may thereafter effect sales pursuant to the prospectus, or until the Company delivers to such Subscriber or files with the Commission an amended or supplemented prospectus.

10
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 5(e)(iii) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 5(e)(iii), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission.
