THE SUBSCRIBER'S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
COVENANTS
|
The Subscriber hereby acknowledges,
agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company,
as follows:
(a) The
Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly
authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid
and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber.
(b) The
Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the offering and
sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Securities Act ”), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder (“ Regulation D ”). In furtherance
thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and
its affiliates as follows:
(i) The
Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from
registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the
Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber
is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable
period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the
market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such
intention.
(ii) The
Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be
available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade
registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable
state or federal securities laws.
(iii) The
Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the
Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes,
and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any
distribution of the Securities.
(iv) The
Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of
the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing
for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for
liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
(v) The
Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant,
purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively,
the “ Advisors ”) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the
Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also
represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of
acquiring the Securities.
(vi) The
Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all
documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, has carefully
reviewed them and understands the information contained therein,
prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(c) The
Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees,
agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to economic
considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has
relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors.
Each Advisor, if any, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of an investment in the Securities, and each Advisor, if any, has
disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed
to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past,
present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between
the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent
thereof.
(d) The
Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to
the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands
that the Securities are a speculative investment that involve a
high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire
investment.
(e) The
Subscriber represents, warrants and agrees that the Subscriber will
not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration
under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully
understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic
risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the
securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold,
pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the
applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from
such registration is available. In particular, the Subscriber is
aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,”
as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”), and they may not
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule
144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that, except as
otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, the Company is under no
obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Subscriber
or to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from
registration under the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or
transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state
securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.
(f) No
oral or written representations or warranties have been made to the
Subscriber by the Company or any of its officers, employees,
agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries, other
than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in
subscribing for the Units, the Subscriber is not relying upon any
representations other than those contained herein.
(g) The
Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not
readily marketable is not disproportionate to the
Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities
will not cause such overall commitment to become
excessive.
(h) The
Subscriber understands and agrees that the certificates for the
Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i)
such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act
and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration
statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion
of counsel for the Company, such Securities may be sold without
registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable
“blue sky” or state securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED
AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE
U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO
THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(i) Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC
”) nor any state securities commission has approved the
Securities. There is no government or other insurance covering any
of the Securities.
(j) The
Subscriber and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person
or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the
Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full
satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any.
(k) The
Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not
become aware of the Subscription opportunity through or as a result
of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising
including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement
or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic
mail over the Internet, in connection with the Subscription and is
not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the
Subscription through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to
which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a
subscription by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in
connection with investments in securities generally.
(l) The
Subscriber has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by
any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the
like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(m) The
Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees,
agents, or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and
related considerations of an investment in the Securities, and the
Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only
its own Advisors.
(n) The
Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking
statements or projections furnished by the Company to the
Subscriber were prepared by the management of the Company in good
faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates
or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company
or its management and should not be relied upon.

oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written
information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any,
in connection with the offering that are in any way inconsistent
with the information contained herein.
(p) (For
ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “
Plan ”) represents that such fiduciary has been
informed of and understands the Company’s investment
objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to
invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA)
in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that
require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary
responsibilities. The Subscriber or Plan fiduciary (i) is
responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (ii) is
independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (iii) is
qualified to make such investment decision; and (iv) in making such
decision, the Subscriber or Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily
on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its
affiliates.
(q) This
Agreement is not enforceable by the Subscriber unless it has been
accepted by the Company, and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription for
any reason.
(r) The
Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where
applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors,
affiliates and shareholders, and each other person, if any, who
controls any of the foregoing from and against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or
investigation whether commenced or threatened) (a “
Loss ”) arising out of or based upon any
representation or warranty of the Subscriber contained
herein or in any document furnished
by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith being
untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the
Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the
Subscriber herein or therein; provided , however ,
that the Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss
that in the aggregate exceeds the
value of su
