(g) Compliance with Other Instruments.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (A) a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract or agreement or (B) an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.
 
Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties of the Holders. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that the following statements are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof:
 
(a) Organization. Each Holder is a duly organized entity, validly existing and in good standing, and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as and in the places where such properties are now owned, operated and leased or such business is now being conducted.
 
(b) Authorization. Each Holder has the necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated by, and perform its obligations, hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by each Holder of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part. This Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of each Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
 

(c) No Violation or Breach. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation by each Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) will violate or cause a default under any judgment, order, writ or decree of any court or governmental authority applicable to each Holder, (ii) violate any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to it or its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other organizational document) or (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material contractual obligation to which it is a party.
 
(d) Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement do not and will not require any registration or filing with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority or regulatory body, but for that required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and other SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority monitored regulations.
 
(e) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Each Holder is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof, except in compliance with the Securities Act. Each Holder understands that the Shares issued to it may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder.
 
(f) Investment Experience. Each Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares. Each Holder is either a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares. Each Holder has previously invested in securities similar to the Shares. In making its decision to invest in the Shares, each Holder has relied upon independent investigations made by the Holder and, to the extent believed by the Holder to be appropriate, the Holder’s representatives, including the Holder’s own professional, tax and other advisors. Each Holder and its representatives have been given the opportunity to examine documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of its investment in the Shares. Each Holder is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and is presently able to afford the complete loss of such investment. Each Holder acknowledges that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties in the issuance of the Shares to the Holder without first having registered the Shares under the Securities Act.
 
(g) Restricted Securities. It has been advised by the Company that (i) the issuance of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the issuance of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to either Rule 144A or Regulation D under the Securities Act; and (iii) there is no established market for the Shares, and it is not anticipated that there will be any active public market for the Shares in the foreseeable future. Each Holder is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
