legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.1 CLOSING. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
set forth in Sections 4 and 5 hereof, the closing of the sale and issuance of
Common Stock of the Company to Investor shall take place at the offices of

The Company represents and warrants to Investor as follows:
2.1 ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to
own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified and authorized to transact
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
where the nature of its activities and of its properties makes such
qualification necessary, except where failure to so qualify would not have a
material adverse effect upon the Company.
2.2 AUTHORIZATION. All corporate action on the part of the Company,
its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the Company's
obligations hereunder and the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the
Shares has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement when
executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute a valid and legally
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms except (a) as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or (b)
as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
2.3 VALID ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
When issued, sold and delivered in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Shares will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be free of any
liens, encumbrances, and restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on
transfer under this Agreement and applicable state and federal securities laws.
Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Investor set
forth in this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares as
contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from
registration or qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification
requirements under all applicable state securities laws.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR
Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
3.1 LEGAL POWER. Investor has the power and authority to enter into
this Agreement, to purchase the Shares hereunder and to carry out and perform
its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
3.2 DUE EXECUTION. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by Investor, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company,
this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or (b) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies.
3.3 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
(a) Investor is acquiring the Shares for its own account, not as
nominee or agent, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act .
(b) Investor understands that (i) the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom,
that the securities are "restricted securities" and Investor must hold the
Shares indefinitely, and that it must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such
investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered
under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (ii) each
certificate representing the Shares will be endorsed with the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (THE "1933 ACT") AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT COVERING SUCH
SECURITIES OR IF THE
2
COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE
SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH
SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE
REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT."
and (iii) the Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register the
transfer of any of the Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing
legend are satisfied; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall
be necessary if the sale, transfer or assignment is made pursuant to SEC Rule
144 and Investor provides the Company with evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company and its counsel that the proposed transaction satisfies the
requirements of Rule 144. The Company agrees to remove the foregoing legend from
any securities if the requirements of SEC Rule 144(k) (or any successor rule or
regulation) apply with respect to such securities and the Company and its
counsel are provided with reasonably satisfactory evidence that the requirements
of Rule 144(k) apply.
(c) Investor has not been offered the Shares by any form of
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or
any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by such media.
(d) Investor acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can
bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of acquisition of the Shares and of making an informed investment
decision with respect thereto.
(e) Investor's principal place of business or address is as set
forth on the signature page hereto, and, if it is an individual, it does not
reside in any state of the United States other than the state, if any, specified
in its address on the signature page.
(f) Investor acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is
speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss of all or part of
Investor's investment therein.
(g) Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of SEC
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as presently in
effect (the "Securities Act").
(h) Investor understands that the foregoing representations and
warranties are to be relied upon by the Company as a basis for exemption of the
sale of the Shares under the Securities Act, under the securities laws of all
applicable states and for other purposes. In the event any of such
representations and warranties become inaccurate or untrue prior to each
closing, Investor will promptly notify the Company.
