Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to
rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3

position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family

as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to its acquisition of the Convertible Debentures and the Conversion
Shares.

such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other exemption under
the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii)
neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register
such securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves

certificates for the Conversion Shares.

to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as
specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the

under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the
Buyer(s) shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.
