The Purchaser will not engage in hedging transactions with respect to the Securities unless in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(k) The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Securities indefinitely because none of the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of its net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Securities will not cause such commitment to become excessive.

(r) THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM, OR IN TRANSACTIONS NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company presented in its most recent periodic report filed with the Commission, the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 (the “Evaluation Date”).

None of the Company, its subsidiaries or any person acting on its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any form of directed selling efforts (as that term is used in Regulation S under the Securities Act) with respect to the Securities.

(q) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or for which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has commitments.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

(r) Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or have timely filed for valid extensions to the filing deadlines applicable to them with respect to such taxes and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(s) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

(t) Shareholders Rights Plan; Investment Company Act. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

(u) Disclosure. The disclosure provided to the Purchaser regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company, including the SEC Reports and the Disclosure Schedules furnished by the Company with respect to the representations and warranties made herein does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

6. Covenants of the Purchaser and the Company.

(a) Transfer Restrictions.

(1) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of such securities (or hedging activities involving such securities) other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated below, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement.

(2) Each Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 6(a), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
