(d) Survival. All representations made by the Company and Purchaser shall survive the Closing.

3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) Purchaser has the legal capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and, when executed and delivered, the Shareholders’ Agreement, constitute valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, except to the extent that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws or by general equitable principles.

(b) Purchaser’s principal address is listed below Purchaser’s signature on the signature page hereto.

(c) Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only for Purchaser’s own account, and not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of the Shares. Purchaser is prepared to hold the Shares for an indefinite period and has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing any of the Shares. Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant a participating interest in, any of the Shares.

 

2


(d) Purchaser is knowledgeable about the Company, and Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the Company and the business thereof and the risk and merits of investment in the Company and of making an informed investment decision thereon.

(e) Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had access to, such information as Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Shares, and Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Shares.

(f) Purchaser has been informed, understands and acknowledges that Purchaser’s investment in the Shares is a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk, and that the amount realized on such investment may be less than the amount invested. In evaluating Purchaser’s investment in the Shares, Purchaser consulted with investment, legal and tax advisors and concluded that such investment is not inconsistent with and is appropriate in light of Purchaser’s overall investment objectives, financial condition and liquidity requirements. Purchaser is familiar with the nature of and risks attendant to an investment of the type contemplated hereby and the tax aspects of an investment of such type, is financially and otherwise capable of bearing the economic risk of such investment, and can afford the loss of the total amount of such investment.

(g) Purchaser does not have an overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable that is disproportionate to Purchaser’s net worth, and Purchaser’s investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. Purchaser has adequate net worth and means of providing for Purchaser’s current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity in such investment.

(h) Purchaser understands that the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws in reliance upon specific exemptions thereunder for transactions not involving any public offering, and the availability of such exemptions depends in part upon the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations and warranties herein and that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser also understands that there is no public market for the Shares and that the sale or transfer of the Shares is also restricted by the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement and applicable state law.

(i) The sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement does not conflict with, or result in a breach of, or a default under, or give rise to a right of acceleration under, any agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party.

(j) Purchaser has initialed the appropriate box below his signature indicating whether Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined on Exhibit B hereto.

(k) Purchaser has received a copy of the Shareholders’ Agreement and has had an opportunity to review and ask questions about such Shareholders’ Agreement. Purchaser

 

3


understands that the Shares will be bound by all of the terms, conditions, restrictions and obligations set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement as the same may be amended from time to time.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

(a) All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the Company under, this Agreement has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this Agreement constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or others laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.

(b) The sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement does not conflict with, or result in a breach of, or a default under, or give rise to a right of acceleration under, the Company’s Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation, or any agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party.

5. Section 83(b) Election and Tax Withholding.

(a) Purchaser understands that (i) the acquisition of the Shares may result in adverse tax consequences that may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) such election may be filed only within 30 days after the date of purchase; and (iii) it is his sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file a timely election under Section 83(b). Purchaser covenants and agrees to provide the Company a copy of Purchaser’s election under Section 83(b) promptly after such election is made. An election form for the purpose of making such election is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(b) The Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind (including withholding the issuance of shares of Common Stock) due to Purchaser the amount of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld as a result of the purchase of the Shares.

6. No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Purchaser any right to continue to be employed by the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company employing or retaining the Purchaser) or of Purchaser, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

7. Legends.

(a) All certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear the following legend:

 

4


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH ACT OR LAWS AND EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY, A COPY OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.”

(b) If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of the Shares, the legend or legends required by such state authorities shall also be endorsed on all such certificates.

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Shares purchased hereunder. Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Shares purchased hereunder shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

Any suit with respect hereto will be brought in courts of the State of New York in New York county and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and Purchaser hereby agrees and submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue thereof.

10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY.

13. Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay all costs and expenses that such party incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

14. Successors and Assigns; Amendment. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except expressly as provided in this Agreement.
