NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.                  Stock Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company hereby issues and sells to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases from the Company (the “Stock Purchase”), [_____________] shares of Common Stock from the Company, at a purchase price of $3.60 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $[_____________].

2.                  Deliveries.

(a)               Purchase Price. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Purchaser has delivered to the Company an amount equal to (i) the Per Share Purchase Price, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased by the Purchaser.

(b)                Certificates. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company has delivered to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, irrevocable instructions to issue to the Purchaser a certificate evidencing the shares purchased hereby (the “Shares”).

(c)                Legend. Each certificate evidencing the Shares and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE HELD BY AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY.”

3.                  Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a)             Organization and Good Standing. The Purchaser is a trust, duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)           Power and Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms. The Purchaser has full entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The Purchaser has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser.

(c)          Investment Representations.

(i)           The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(ii)          The Purchaser has received, has thoroughly read, is familiar with and understands the contents of this Agreement.

(iii)         The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. The Purchaser acknowledges that there is a substantial risk that it will lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable of bearing the risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Purchaser’s present financial condition is such that the Purchaser is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares purchased hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(iv)        The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and are being sold on the basis of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts. Reliance on such exemptions, where applicable, is predicated in part on the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth herein. The Purchaser acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Shares are registered in accordance with federal and state securities laws or the Purchaser finds and complies with an available exemption under such laws. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate its investment in the Company.

(v)         There are substantial risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has read the information set forth above regarding certain of such risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks, including, without limitation, risks arising from the fact that the Company is an entity with limited operating history and financial resources; and the Purchaser is fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof.

(vi)        The Purchaser has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its designated representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Shares, the Company and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to assist the Purchaser in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that, prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received such answers and obtained such information as it has deemed necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Purchaser is not relying on any oral representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects.

(vii)       The Purchaser understands that no federal, state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination relating to the merits of an investment in the Company.

(viii)      The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the Company, the Shares or otherwise, other than the representations and warranties set forth herein.

(ix)         The Purchaser acknowledges its obligations under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to the Company.
