WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement, the Company and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase and accept delivery from the Company, the Shares at the Purchase Price.
2. Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants as follows (with the understanding that the Company will rely on such representations and warranties in determining, among other matters, the suitability of this investment for the Purchaser in order to comply with federal and state securities laws):
(a) Authorization and Power. Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Shares. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof;
(b) Purchase for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms such Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for Purchaser’s own account, for investment only, and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws);

Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and able to afford a complete loss of such investment;
(d) Compliance with Securities Act. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Shares are “restricted securities”, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act, and that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration. Purchaser further understands that the sale of the Shares has not been qualified or registered under any foreign or state securities laws in reliance upon the representations made and information furnished by the Purchaser herein and any other documents delivered by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement; that the sale of the Shares has not been reviewed by the SEC or by any foreign or state securities authorities; that the Purchaser’s rights to transfer the Shares will be restricted, which includes restrictions against transfers unless the transfer is not in violation of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (including investor suitability standards); and that the Company may in its sole discretion require the Purchaser to provide at Purchaser’s own expense an opinion of its counsel to the effect that any proposed transfer is not in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities laws;
(e) Legends. Purchaser understands that the Company will cause any necessary legends to be placed upon any instruments(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares as may be required by federal or state securities laws or deemed necessary or desirable by the Company;
