3. Subscribers’ Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company, only as to such Subscriber, that:
(a) Information on Company. Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company or any person acting on its behalf concerning the Company and its business and to obtain any additional information, to the extent possessed by the Company (or to the extent it could have been acquired by the Company without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by Subscriber. In connection therewith, Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management or any person acting on its behalf. Subscriber has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “SEC Reports”) and Subscriber has received and reviewed this Agreement, and all the information, both written and oral, that it desires. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber has been furnished with or has had the opportunity to acquire, and to review, all information (including copies of all of the Company’s publicly available documents on the EDGAR system maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov including the SEC Reports), both written and oral, that it desires with respect to the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and prospects. In determining whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigations and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this paragraph and Subscriber has not relied on any other representations or information.
(b) Information on Subscriber. The Subscriber was at the time it was offered the Shares, is on the date hereof and will be on the Closing Date an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative or high risk nature and has purchased securities of publicly-owned companies in private placements in the past and, together with its representatives and/or trustee, as applicable, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Subscriber to utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase. The Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. Subscriber has carefully considered and has discussed with Subscriber’s professional legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors, to the extent Subscriber has deemed necessary, the suitability of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for Subscriber’s particular federal, state, local and foreign tax and financial situation and has determined that this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are a suitable investment for Subscriber. Subscriber relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Subscriber understands that Subscriber (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Subscriber’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The information set forth on the signature page hereto regarding the Subscriber is accurate. The Subscriber was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares and is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.
(c) Purchase for Investment. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Shares are being purchased for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part thereof for any particular price, or at any particular time, or upon the happening of any particular event or circumstances, except selling, transferring, or disposing the Shares made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and applicable state securities laws; and that an investment in the Shares is not a liquid investment.
(d) Compliance with the Securities Act. Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered. Subscriber understands that the sale of the Shares to Subscriber will not be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and that, in the view of the SEC, the statutory basis for the exception claimed would not be present if the representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Agreement are untrue or, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations and warranties, the Subscriber currently has in mind acquiring the Shares for distribution or resale upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of some predetermined event. Subscriber agrees that it will cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested in connection with ensuring compliance with the Securities Act including with respect to any registration statement filed in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
(e) Restrictive Legend. Subscriber understands that any and all certificates representing the Shares and any and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor shall bear the following legend or one substantially similar thereto, which Subscriber has read and understands:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.”
Because of the restrictions imposed on resale, Subscriber understands that the Company shall have the right to note stop-transfer instructions in its stock transfer records, and Subscriber has been informed of the Company’s intention to do so. Any sales, transfers, or any other dispositions of the Shares by Subscriber, if any, will be in compliance with the Securities Act.
(f) Communication of Offer. The offer to sell the Shares was directly communicated to the Subscriber by the Company. At no time was the Subscriber presented with or solicited by any leaflet, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of general advertising or solicited or invited to attend a promotional meeting otherwise than in connection and concurrently with such communicated offer.
(g) Lack of Finder. Subscriber represents and warrants, to the best of its knowledge, unless previously disclosed to the Company or its counsel, that no finder, broker, agent, financial advisor or other intermediary, nor any purchaser representative or any broker-dealer acting as a broker, is entitled to any compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h) Organization; Authority; Enforceability Subscriber has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out and perform Subscriber’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement. If the Subscriber is an entity or trust, the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and the issuance of the Shares will not result in any material violation of, or conflict with, or
constitute a material default under, any of Subscriber’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, if applicable, or any of Subscriber’s material agreements nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of Subscriber or the Shares. This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general principles of equity, whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law. Further, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against Subscriber or Subscriber’s properties before any court or governmental agency (nor, to Subscriber’s knowledge, is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way Subscriber’s ability to enter into and fully perform Subscriber’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
