3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, that as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Closing at which such Purchaser acquires Units pursuant hereto:

 

3.1 Authorization. Such Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party. Such Transaction Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

3.2 Purchase for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of federal, state or other applicable securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities, and has considered the Risk Factors set forth in Exhibit E herein. The Purchaser has consulted his, her or its own legal, tax, financial, investment and other advisors in connection with such Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement to the extent such Purchaser has deemed appropriate and such Purchaser’s investment in the Shares and Warrants to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and acknowledges that the Company is giving no such legal, tax, financial or investment advice to the Purchaser.

 

3.4 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser may be required to hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Except as provided under the Registration Rights agreement contemplated herein, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser understands that this offering is not intended to be part of a public offering, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

 

3.5 Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Securities may be notated with one or all of the following legends:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”

 

13
 

 

(a) Any other legend set forth in, or required by, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(b) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Securities represented by the certificate, instrument, or book entry with such a legend.

 

3.6 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

3.7 Disqualification Events. No “bad actor” disqualification event is applicable to the Purchaser or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, any Person, with respect to such Purchaser as an “issuer” for purposes of Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, listed in the first paragraph of Rule 506(d)(1), except for a disqualification event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii–iv) or (d)(3), is applicable.

 

3.8 Residence. If the Purchaser is an individual, then the Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set forth on the signature page hereto. If the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the Purchaser’s principal place of business is in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set forth on the signature page hereto.

 

3.9 Anti-Money Laundering Matters. The Purchaser is in all material respects in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”), the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (the “BSA”) and any other anti-money laundering laws and applicable regulations adopted to implement the provisions of such laws and applicable to the Purchaser, including, if applicable, policies and procedures that can be reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of transactions under Section 5318 of the BSA. Neither the Purchaser, nor any holder of any beneficial interest in the Securities (each a “Beneficial Owner”) is or will be:

 

(a) a person or entity listed in the Annex to Executive Order 13224 (2001) issued by the President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), which is posted on the website of the U.S. Department of Treasury (http://www.treas.gov);

 

(b) named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which is posted on the website of the U.S. Department of Treasury (http://www.treas.gov);

The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company of any material change in any information affecting this representation and warranty. Neither the Purchaser nor any Beneficial Owner is a senior foreign political figure, which means a current or former senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military, or judicial branches of a foreign government (whether or not elected), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned commercial enterprise. This restriction on senior foreign political figures also applies to any immediate family member of such figure (a spouse, parent, sibling, child, or a spouse’s parent, sibling or child) or close associate of such figure (a person who is publicly known to maintain, or who actually maintains, a close personal or professional relationship with such individual). No portion of the purchase price: (i) does or will originate from, nor will it be routed through, an account maintained at a Foreign Shell Bank, an “offshore bank”, or a bank organized or chartered under the laws of a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, (ii) has been or will be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed criminal under applicable law, or (iii) causes or will cause the Company, or any of its affiliates to be in violation of the BSA, the U.S. Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the U.S. International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act of 2001. The Purchaser is not otherwise prohibited from investing in the Company pursuant to applicable anti-money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, antiterrorist or asset or exchange control laws, regulations, rules or orders. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of the representations in this Section 3.9 are incorrect in any material respect, or if otherwise required by applicable law related to money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, antiterrorism or asset or exchange controls and similar activities, the Company may, in its sole discretion, undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with applicable law, including but not limited to freezing, segregating or withdrawing the Purchaser’s interest in the Company. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Company any additional information or documentation that the Company reasonable deems necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, antiterrorism or asset or exchange controls and similar activities. The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company if any of the representations in this Section 3.9 cease to be true and accurate in any material respect.

 

3.10 FATCA Matters. The Purchaser acknowledges that, to the extent applicable, the Company will seek to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act provisions of the Code and any rules, regulations, forms, instructions, other guidance and any intergovernmental agreements issued in connection therewith (the “FATCA Provisions”). In furtherance of these efforts, the Purchaser agrees to promptly deliver any additional documentation or information, and updates thereto as applicable, which the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with the FATCA Provisions. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Certificates, the Transaction Agreements or any other agreement, the failure to promptly comply with such requests, or to provide such additional information, may result in the withholding of amounts with respect to, or other limitations on, distributions made to the Purchaser and such other reasonably necessary or advisable action by the Company with respect to the Securities, and the Purchaser shall have no claim, and shall not pursue any claim, against the Company or any other Person in connection therewith.
