except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
laws affecting creditors' rights generally. Janus has all requisite power to

Shares for its own account, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection
with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act. Except
as contemplated by this Agreement, Janus has no present agreement, undertaking,
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
any Shares unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, or an opinion is given by counsel satisfactory to the Company
that such registration is not required. The Company may affix a legend to any
certificates representing the Shares to the foregoing effect.

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

802.64(a) of the regulations adopted under of the HSR Act. Janus's financial
condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares for an
indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. Janus
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

risks and merits of its investment in the Company. The purchase of the Common
Stock by Janus is being made directly by it in the ordinary course of business
within the meaning of Section 802.64(b) of the regulations promulgated under of

Securities Act, and that the Shares must continue to be held by Janus unless a
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

irreparable harm (an "Irreparable Breach"). Accordingly, in the event of a
threatened or ongoing Irreparable Breach, each party hereto shall be entitled to
seek, in any state or federal court in Delaware, equitable relief of a kind
appropriate in light of the nature of the ongoing or threatened Irreparable
Breach, which relief may include, without limitation, specific performance or
injunctive relief; provided, however, that if the party bringing such action is
unsuccessful in obtaining the relief sought, the moving party shall pay the
non-moving party's reasonable costs, including attorney's fees, incurred in
connection with defending such action. Such remedies shall not be the parties'

this Agreement.

the prior written consent of the other party. In the event of any assignment in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee shall specifically
assume and be bound by the provisions of the Agreement by executing and agreeing
to an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to the other party.
7.12 Survival. The respective representations and warranties given
