Representations and Warranties of the Investor
The
Investor represents and warrants to the Company that:
Section 2.2. Intent . The Investor is entering into
this Agreement for its own account and not with a view to or for
sale in connection with any distribution of the Common Stock. The
Investor has no present arrangement (whether or not legally
binding) at any time to sell the Common Stock, Warrant or Warrant
Shares to or through any Person or entity; provided, however, that
by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree
to hold such securities for any minimum or other specific term
(other than as specified herein) and reserves the right to dispose
of the Common Stock and Warrant Shares at any time in accordance
with federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition and such Section 4.3.
Section 2.3. Sophisticated Investor . The Investor is a
sophisticated investor (as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of
Regulation D), and the Investor has such experience in
business and financial matters that it has the capacity to protect
its own interests in connection with this transaction and is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, Warrant and Warrant Shares. The Investor acknowledges
that an investment in the Common Stock, Warrant and Warrant Shares
is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has
adequate means of providing for Investor’s current needs and
personal contingencies and has no need for the liquidity in
Investor’s investment in the Common Stock, Warrant and the
Warrant Shares and is capable of bearing the economic risks
attendant to an investment in the Common Stock, Warrant and the
Warrant Shares including the total loss thereof.
Section 2.4. Authority . This Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized and validly
executed and delivered by the Investor and is a valid and binding
agreement of the Investor enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of,
creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable
principles of general application.
Section 2.5. Not an Affiliate . The Investor is not an
officer, director or “affiliate” (as that term is
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the
Company.
Section 2.6. Disclosure; Access to Information . The
Investor and Investor’s professional advisers have been
furnished satisfactory responses to their inquiries and all
materials which
4
they have
requested relating to the Company and its past and proposed
activities. They have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and to receive answers from the Company and to obtain
additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire
without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify
the accuracy of the information provided to the Investor.
Section 2.7. Manner of Sale . At no time was the
Investor presented with or solicited by or through any leaflet,
public promotional meeting, television advertisement or any other
form of general solicitation or advertising.
Section 2.8. Independent Advice . The Investor
acknowledges that the Investor has been advised to consult with
Investor’s own attorney, accountant, investment advisor, or
other professional advisors concerning the investment in the Common
Stock and Warrant of the Company including, without limitation, tax
matters relating to the purchase, sale and ownership of the Common
Stock and Warrant.
Section 2.9. Illiquidity . The Investor understands,
acknowledges and agrees that due to restrictions described in this
Agreement and the lack of any market existing or likely to exist
for the Common Stock, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, the
Investor’s investment in the Common Stock, Warrant and
Warrant Shares will be highly illiquid.
Section 2.10. Limitation of Transfer . The Common
Stock, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), or registered or qualified under any applicable state
securities laws and regulations. Therefore, the Common Stock, the
Warrant and the Warrant Shares will be restricted
