4.2 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities, for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same; and, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the Purchaser has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof.
4.3 Authority. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into and to perform this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with their respective terms. The Purchaser represents that it has not been organized, reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Company.

The execution of and performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and compliance with the respective provisions thereof by each of the Purchasers will not, to its knowledge, violate any provision of law and, if applicable, will not conflict with or result in any material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute a material default under, or require a consent or waiver under, its organizational documents (if any, and each as amended to date and as in effect as of the date hereof) or any indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it or any of its properties (whether tangible or intangible) is bound, or any decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser.
4.4 Unregistered Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Securities, and any shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof, must be held indefinitely until such time as they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

4.5 Principal Place of Business. The address of the residence or the principal place of business, as applicable, the latter of which is the office in which the Purchasers investment decision was made, is accurately set forth on Attachment 1.
4.6 Brokers. The Purchaser has not retained any finder or broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchaser separately agrees to indemnify and save the Company harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or obligations with respect to brokerage or finders fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement asserted by any Person on the basis of any agreement, statement or representation alleged to have been made by such Purchaser.
-12-
4.7 Foreign Investors. If the Purchaser is not a United States Person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities.
