Dear Sirs:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) will confirm our agreement on the matters described below:

 

  1.

  2. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on or before December 31, 2011. At the Closing, the Investor shall pay to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Purchase Price and, upon the receipt of the Purchase Price, the Company shall issue and deliver the Investor Shares to the Investor.

  c. the Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities, except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

  6. The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Investor as follows:

  c.

  7. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Securities being purchased and the payment therefor, and a party’s reliance on such representations and warranties shall not be affected by any investigation made by such party or any information developed thereby.
