3.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND OTHER COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows (such representations and warranties do not lessen or obviate the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement):
3.1
Requisite Power and Authority. Purchaser has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out their provisions. All actions on Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement have been or will be effectively taken prior to the Closing. Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement will be valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

All consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with any governmental or banking authority on the part of Purchaser required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement have been or shall have been obtained prior to and be effective as of the Closing.
3.3
Investment Representations. Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Purchaser’s representations contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a)
Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. Purchaser understands and agrees that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of registering the Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose. Purchaser is particularly aware that the Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met.
(b)
Acquisition for Own Account. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for Purchaser’s own account for investment only, and not as a nominee and not with a view towards distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Purchaser's overall commitment to investments, which are not readily marketable, is not disproportionate to its net worth and purchasing the Shares under the terms of this Agreement will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
(c)
Purchaser Can Protect Its Interest. Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, or the business or financial experience of professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, the Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with this transaction
(d)
Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined under rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act; or has, either alone or in conjunction with investor representative(s), if any, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment herein.
-3-
(e)
Manner of Solicitation. The Shares offered hereby were not offered to the Purchaser by the way of general solicitation or general advertising and at no time was the Purchaser presented with or solicited by means of any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement.
(f)
Due Diligence Materials. Purchaser or its counsel or representatives has received the due diligence materials delivered to it by the Company and has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. Purchaser further represents that it had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment.
(g)
Address. Purchaser’s principal place of business is the address set forth on the individual signature page for Purchaser at the end of this Agreement.
3.4
Transfer Restrictions. Purchaser also understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions relating to the Shares will be placed in the Company’s stock transfer ledger, and that the certificates evidencing the Shares sold will bear the legend in substantially the following form:
“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act. The availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the company.”
3.5
Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the Company as a result of a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement.
