Shares for its own account, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection

arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the disposition of the
Shares. Janus represents that is has not been organized, reorganized or
recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Shares. Janus
agrees not to assign, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or transfer

Company that at the time Janus acquires any of the Shares, Janus will be an

condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares for an

has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from
the management of the Company concerning this investment and has sufficient
knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in

within the meaning of Section 802.64(b) of the regulations promulgated under of

subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is
exempt from such registration. Janus understands that the exemptions from
registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it)

conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales
only in limited amounts.

the Registration Rights Agreement by Janus and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with or result in

injunctive relief; provided, however, that if the party bringing such action is
unsuccessful in obtaining the relief sought, the moving party shall pay the
