In the absence of any effective registration statement covering the Series B Preferred Stock or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Series B Preferred Stock must be held indefinitely.

e. Legends. The Company may place appropriate and customary legends on the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof) held by each Holder setting forth the restrictions referred to in this Section 5 and any restrictions appropriate for compliance with U.S. federal securities Laws.

i. “THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.”

ii. Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock represented by the certificate, instrument, or book entry so legended.

f. Disclosure of Information. Such Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the Series A Repurchase and the Share Exchange with the Company’s management.

h. No Additional Representation; Access to Information.

i. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly set forth in Section 4, the Company is not making and has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, at Law or in equity, with respect to this Agreement, the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof), the Series B Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof), any other securities of the Company or the businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, employees, employee benefit plans, conditions or prospects of the Company or any information provided or made available to such Holder in connection therewith (including any forecasts, projections, estimates or budgets), the Transactions or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any publicly available information regarding the Company and its Affiliates, including any warranty with respect to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, and all other representations or warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed.

Each Holder understands the disadvantage to which it is subject on account of the disparity of information as between the Company and the Holders with respect to the business and financial performance of the Company. Each Holder has access to all information that it believes to be necessary, sufficient or appropriate in connection with the Transactions. Each Holder has undertaken such independent investigation of the Company as in its judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to the Transactions, and has made its own decision to consummate the Transactions based on its own independent review and consultations with such investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers as it has deemed necessary and without reliance on any express or implied representation or warranty of the Company (except as expressly set forth herein).

Each Holder acknowledges that any such material non-public information not known to it may impact the value of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof) and the Series B Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof) or may otherwise be material to such Holder’s decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions. Each Holder acknowledges that it is proceeding with the Transactions knowingly and voluntarily, without access to or the benefit of such information. Each Holder hereby waives any right to rescind or invalidate the repurchase and exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof) or the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or pursuant to the terms thereof) or to seek any damages or remuneration from the Company based on the Company’s possession of any information regarding the Company or the lack of possession of any information regarding the Company by each Holder.
