3. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Sellers.

Each of the Sellers hereby represents, warrants and agrees on the date hereof and on the Trade Date and the Settlement Date (as defined below):

(a) Such Seller has the power and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Transaction. The execution, delivery, and performance by each Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by such Seller of such Seller’s obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action in respect thereof by the respective Seller. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Seller and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws from time to time in effect that affect creditors’ rights generally, and by legal and equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies. Any Person signing this Agreement on behalf of such Seller has been duly and validly authorized and empowered to do so and has the authority to bind such Seller and to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement and consummation by such Seller of the Transaction do not and will not: (i) violate any decree or judgment of any court or other governmental authority applicable to or binding on such Seller; (ii) violate any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation which is, to such Seller’s knowledge, applicable to such Seller; (iii) conflict with, or result in any violation of, any provision of any Organizational Document of such Seller; or (iv) violate or result in a default under any contract to which such Seller or any of such Seller’s assets or properties are bound. No consent or approval of, or filing with, any governmental authority or other Person not a party hereto is required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction.

(c) Such Seller is the record and beneficial owner of the number of Shares set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, free and clear of any Encumbrances, and upon the transfer of such Shares to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any Encumbrances or Transfer Restrictions, other than Transfer Restrictions arising solely under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder, or under similar state securities laws (the “Permitted Securities Law Restrictions”).

(d) No proceedings relating to the Shares are pending or, to the knowledge of such Seller, threatened, before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental body or authority that would adversely affect such Seller’s right to transfer the Shares to the Purchaser.

(e) Such Seller, by reason of, among other things, such Seller’s business and financial experience, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transaction and of protecting such Seller’s own interests in connection with the Transaction. Such Seller is aware of the Issuer’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Issuer to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to sell the Shares owned by such Seller.

(f) Such Seller acknowledges that such Seller is aware and understands that the Purchaser is the issuer of the Shares, and that the Purchaser has informed such Seller that, among other things, the Purchaser, as the issuer of the Shares, is in possession of substantial information which may be material and/or nonpublic (collectively, the “Issuer Information”) and which, if publicly disclosed, could foreseeably affect the trading price of the Common Stock, including information that may be indicative that the value of the Shares is substantially lower or higher than the Purchase Price being paid in the Transaction, or which, if known to such Seller, could foreseeably have impacted such Seller’s decision to sell such Seller’s Shares or to enter into this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding the Purchaser’s possession of the Issuer Information, which is not being disclosed to such Seller, such Seller wishes to enter into the Transaction at this time for such Seller’s own business purposes. Such Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser would not enter into the Transaction with such Seller in the absence of the protections afforded to the Purchaser by such Seller’s representations, warranties and agreements in this Section 3 and that such Seller is providing such representations, warranties and agreements, including the waivers contained in this Agreement, as an inducement to the Purchaser to consummate the Transaction.

(h) Such Seller is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in the trading of securities and other instruments of private and public companies and understands the disadvantage to which such Seller is subject on account of the disparity of the access to, and possession of, the Issuer Information between the Purchaser and such Seller. Such Seller has conducted an independent evaluation of the Common Stock to determine whether to engage in the Transaction and, notwithstanding the absence of access by such Seller to the Issuer Information, such Seller is desirous of consummating the Transaction.

(i) Such Seller hereby irrevocably waives any and all actions, causes of action, rights or claims, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, and whether currently existing or hereafter arising, that such Seller may have or hereafter acquire against the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Persons” and each, individually, a “Purchaser Released Person”) in any way, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to or resulting from the Purchaser’s or such other Persons’ failure to disclose any Issuer Information to such Seller, except for those representations and warranties of the Purchaser expressly set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement, including, without limitation, claims it may have or hereafter acquire under applicable federal and/or state securities laws. Such Seller also agrees that such Seller shall not institute or maintain any cause of action, suit, complaint or other proceeding against any Purchaser Released Person as a result of the Purchaser’s or such other Persons’ failure to disclose any Issuer Information to such Seller, except for those representations and warranties of the Purchaser expressly set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement. Such Seller intends to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, a complete and knowing waiver of such Seller’s rights as set forth in this Section 3(i). Each of the terms of the waivers and releases set forth in this Section 3(i) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction.

(j) Such Seller has been given the opportunity to consult with such Seller’s own counsel and financial and other advisors with respect to this Agreement and the terms hereof and the Transaction to be consummated hereunder and has delivered this Agreement freely and voluntarily.

(k) Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives are making any representations or warranties to such Seller, and such Seller is not relying on any statements, whether oral or written, which may have been made at any time by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives, except for those representations and warranties of the Purchaser expressly set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.
