The Conversion Shares are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration and/or qualification contained in the Acts by reason of specific exemptions from the registration and/or qualification provisions of the Acts which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intents and the accuracy of the Investor ‘s representations as expressed in this Section 3.3. (a) Stockholder Bears Economic Risk. The Investor understands that the Conversion Shares will be “restricted securities” under applicable securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Conversion Shares may be resold without registration and/or qualification under the Acts only in certain limited circumstances.

The Investor is acquiring the Conversion Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and the Stockholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Investor further represents that such Investor does not have a contract, understanding, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third party with respect to any of the Conversion Shares. In

addition, the Investor is not aware of any publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. (c) Investor Experience. The Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.

The Investor is able, without impairing the Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Investor’s investment. (e) Accredited Investor or Investment Advisor. The Investor represents that it is either (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect or (ii) an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. (f) Due Diligence. Each Investor has made, either alone or together with its advisors, such independent investigation of the Company, its management and related matters as it deems to be, or as such advisors have advised to be, necessary or advisable in connection with an investment in the Conversion Shares; and the Investor and its advisors have received all information and data that it and such advisors believe to be necessary in order to reach an informed decisions as to the advisability of an investment in the Conversion Shares, including that certain Offering Memorandum dated June 28, 2007, bearing in mind (among other factors, without limitation) that Investor may not be able to dispose of the Conversion Shares for the indefinite future.
