Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitations, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for the other Investors to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR

 

Each Investor, severally and solely with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder and not with respect to any other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

2.1. Investment Purpose.

does not agree to hold any of the Offered Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Offered Securities in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Investor understands that the Investor may be required to bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Offered Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of registering the Offered Securities other than as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

2.2. Investor Status. The Investor is either: (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act; or (ii) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. If an Investor is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is acquiring the Offered Securities as a fiduciary or agent for another investor’s account, then the Investor will have sole investment and voting discretion with respect to such account and will have full power to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained herein on behalf of such account.

 

2.3. Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Offered Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Offered Securities.

 

2.4. Information. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Offered Securities, that have been requested by the Investor or its advisors, if any, except that such furnished materials do not contain any material non-public information. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and have received what the Investor and its advisors, if any, believe to be satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. The Investor acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Offered Securities involves a significant degree of risk, including the risks reflected in the SEC Documents.

 

2.5. Experience. The Investor is experienced in evaluating companies such as the Company, is able to fend for itself in transactions such as the one contemplated by this Agreement, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Investor’s prospective investment in the Company, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment in the Offered Securities.

 

2.6. Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Offered Securities or an investment therein.

2.7. Transfer or Resale. The Investor understands that:

 

(a) the delivery of the Offered Securities has not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and consequently, the Investor may have to bear the risk of owning the Offered Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Offered Securities may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Offered Securities is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) if requested by the Company, the Investor has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the Offered Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (iii) the Offered Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; or (iv) the Offered Securities are sold or transferred to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Investor;

 

(b) any sale of the Offered Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 (including the holding period requirement, the volume limitations and the manner of sale restrictions, if applicable); and

 

(c) except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Offered Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

 

2.8. Legends. The Investor understands that, until (a) the Offered Securities may be sold under Rule 144(k) or (b) such time as the Offered Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act in compliance with Rule 144 or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the certificates representing the Offered Securities will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Offered Securities):

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT, OR (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

The legend set forth above will be removed, and the Company will issue a certificate without the legend to the holder of any certificate upon which it is stamped, in accordance with the terms of Article VI hereof.

 

2.9. Organization and Existence. To the extent indicated on the signature pages hereto, each Investor is either (i) a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation, (ii) a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation, (iii) a corporation duly

organized and validly existing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation, (iv) a registered investment company, (v) a trust fund whose trustee is a bank or trust company or (vi) an individual. Such Investor represents that it was not organized solely for the purpose of making an investment in the Company.

 

2.10. Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and all other agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Investor and are valid and binding agreements of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as the indemnification provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement may be legally unenforceable.

 

2.11. No Conflicts; No Violation.

 

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Investor will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of its charter documents or (ii) to its knowledge, result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Investor.

 

(b) The Investor is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self regulatory agency for the Investor to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.12. Acknowledgments Regarding Placement Agent. The Investor acknowledges that there is a Placement Agent (defined in Article IV) for the Offered Securities being offered hereby and will be compensated by the Company for acting in such capacity. The Investor further acknowledges that the Placement Agent has acted solely as placement agent for the Company in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities by the Company, that certain of the information and data provided to the Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have not been subjected to independent verification by the Placement Agent, and that the Placement Agent makes no representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of such information, data or other related disclosure material. The Investor further acknowledges that, in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Offered Securities, it has relied on its own examination of the Company and the terms of, and consequences, of holding the Offered Securities. The Investor further acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 2.12 are also for the benefit of, and may also be enforced by, the Placement Agent.

 

2.13. No Public Offering. Investor has not received any information relating to the Offered Securities or the Company, and is not purchasing the Offered Securities as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, but not limited to, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or

similar media or broadcast over television or radio or pursuant to any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing in each such jurisdiction would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to deliver the Offered Securities in accordance with the terms hereof; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without limitation the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board or Directors or its shareholders is required; (c) each of the Transaction Documents have been or will be duly executed by the Company; and (d) each of the Transaction Documents constitutes or will upon execution constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the application of general principles of equity and except as the indemnification provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement may be legally unenforceable.

Except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents, there are no agreements or arrangements (other than the Registration Rights Agreement) under which the Company is obligated to register the sale of any of its securities under the Securities Act. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties of the Investors contained in Section 2, the issuance by the Company of the Offered Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
