Article V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE standby purchaser

The Standby Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Standby Closing Date after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, that:

Section 5.1 Information; Knowledge of Business. The Standby Purchaser fully understands the limitations on the ownership and sale, transfer or other disposition of the Allocated Shares. The Standby Purchaser is able to bear the financial risk of its investment in the Allocated Shares and is able to afford the complete loss of such investment. The Standby Purchaser has been afforded access to information about the Company and its financial condition and business, sufficient to enable such Investor to evaluate its investment in the Allocated Shares.

Section 5.2 No Securities Act Registration. The Standby Purchaser understands that the Allocated Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of each Investors representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

Section 5.3 Investment Intent. The Standby Purchaser is acquiring the Allocated Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof not in compliance with applicable securities laws, and no Investor has the present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

Section 5.4 Securities Laws Compliance. The Standby Purchaser understands that the Allocated Shares may not be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred by the Standby Purchaser except pursuant to a registration statement or in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Section 5.5 Sophistication. Without derogating from or limiting the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement, the Standby Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Allocated Shares being acquired hereunder. The Standby Purchaser understands and is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment (including, without limitation, the necessity of holding the Allocated Shares for an indefinite period of time). Without derogating from or limiting the representations and warranties of the Company, the Standby Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Company and to obtain additional information that it has requested to verify the information contained herein.

Section 5.6 Legended Securities. The Standby Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, upon the original issuance thereof and until such time as the same is no longer required under any applicable requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the Company and its transfer agent shall make such notation in the stock book and transfer records of the Company as may be necessary to record that the Allocated Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Allocated Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements thereof.

Section 5.7 Purchase for Investment. The Standby Purchaser is purchasing the Allocated Shares for its own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and has no present intention of distributing or reselling any thereof. In making the foregoing representations, the Standby Purchaser is aware that it must bear, and represents that such Investor is able to bear, the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Standby Purchaser acknowledges its understanding that the offering and sale of the Allocated Shares are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Standby Purchaser contained herein and its compliance with this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Standby Purchaser (or its Affiliated designee) to acquire the Allocated Shares in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In furtherance thereof, the Standby Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and, if there should be any change in such status prior to the Standby Closing Date, such Investor will promptly inform the Company of such change;

(b) it (A) has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Allocated Shares, (B) has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment therein, (C) has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and (D) has such knowledge, experience and skill in evaluating and investing in issues of equity securities based on actual participation in financial, investment and business matters, such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and the suitability of the Allocated Shares;

(c) without prejudice to any claim of the Standby Purchaser hereunder for breach of the Company’s representations and warranties or for fraud, it has been given the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Allocated Shares and other matters pertaining to an investment in the Allocated Shares in order for the Standby Purchaser to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Allocated Shares; the Standby Purchaser has received such information as it deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Allocated Shares;

(d) the Standby Purchaser became aware of this offering of the Allocated Shares solely by means of direct contact between it and the Company or a representative of the Company, and the Allocated Shares were offered to the Standby Purchaser solely by direct contact between it and the Company or a representative of the Company. The Standby Purchaser did not become aware of the Standby Offering of Allocated Shares, nor were the Allocated Shares offered to it, by any other means. The Standby Purchaser acknowledges that it was not induced to purchase the Allocated Shares through any form of general solicitation or general advertising;

(e) the Standby Purchaser is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by OFAC or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. Such Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that such Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law; and

(f)   neither (A) the Standby Purchaser, (B) any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may serve as a director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members, nor (C) any beneficial owner of the Company’s voting equity securities (in accordance with Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act) held by such Investor is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed reasonably in advance of the Standby Closing Date in writing in reasonable detail to the Company.

Section 5.8 No Other Registrations. The Standby Purchaser has been advised that the Allocated Shares have not been registered under any non-U.S. securities, state securities or “blue sky” laws, and therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered under such laws or unless an exemption from registration thereunder is available.

Section 5.9 Financial Capability. As of the date hereof and at all relevant times under this Agreement, the Standby Purchaser will have available funds necessary to purchase its Allocated Shares on the terms and conditions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.10 No Further Reliance. The Standby Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any representation or warranty made by the Company not set forth in this Agreement. The Standby Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted such review and analysis of the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of the Company that the Standby Purchaser considers sufficient for purposes of the purchase of the Allocated Shares.
