The person(s) executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of such Purchaser are duly authorized to do so.

 

(b)          The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not conflict with, result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or require any consent or approval under, any agreement or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser may be bound, or result in the material violation of any law, rule or regulation or any writ, order or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Purchaser.

 

(c)          Purchase for Own Account. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Transferred Securities for such Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the Transferred Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Transferred Securities and such Purchaser has not granted or agreed to grant any beneficial ownership of any of the Transferred Securities to any other person (other than the members, manager, partners and/or stockholders of such Purchaser who may be deemed to have an indirect beneficial interest by virtue of their ownership interests in such Purchaser).

(h)          Restricted Securities.

In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made by such Purchaser herein, the Transferred Securities are not being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Act or being qualified under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended (the “California Law”), but instead are being transferred under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Act and California Law or other applicable securities laws which impose certain restrictions on such Purchaser’s ability to transfer the Transferred Securities.

 

(j)           Securities Law Restrictions on Transfer. Such Purchaser understands that such Purchaser may not transfer any Transferred Securities unless such Transferred Securities are registered under the Act or qualified under California Law or other applicable securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available. Such Purchaser understands that only the Company may file a registration statement with the SEC or the California Commissioner of Corporations or other applicable securities commissioners and that the Company is under no obligation to do so with respect to the Transferred Securities.

(l)           Foreign Status. If such Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Transferred Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Transferred Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Transferred Securities.

(b)          Authority. Seller has full legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Seller is not obligated to transfer the Transferred Securities to any other person or entity other than pursuant to the Transfer Restrictions. Seller, if other than a natural person, has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization as the type of entity that it purports to be and all corporate or other entity actions necessary to authorize the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly taken. The person(s) executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of Seller are duly authorized to do so.

Seller acknowledges that none of the Purchasers, the Company or their respective affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to Seller, and has not given Seller any investment advice, opinion or other information on whether the sale of the Transferred Securities is prudent.

Seller understands that the Purchasers will rely on the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and Seller hereby consents to such reliance.

If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement.

Accordingly, except in the case of termination, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, without having to prove irreparable harm or actual damages.
