ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
AGREEMENTS OF THE SUBSCRIBER
3.1 Authorization. The Subscriber represents and warrants that this Agreement, when executed and delivered to the Company, will constitute the Subscriber’s valid and legally binding obligation, except to the extent the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy laws, insolvency laws, reorganization laws, moratorium laws or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
3.2 Investment Representations.
(a) This Agreement is made with the Subscriber in reliance upon Subscriber’s representations to the Company, which by the Subscriber’s acceptance hereof, the Subscriber hereby confirms, that (i) the Shares to be received by the Subscriber will be acquired by the Subscriber for investment for his or her own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, (ii) he or she has no current intention of selling, granting a participation in or otherwise distributing the same in violation of applicable federal and state securities laws, and (iii) the information contained in the form of Confidential Investment Qualification Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Purchaser Questionnaire”) and completed by the Subscriber and delivered to the Company is true, correct, accurate and complete both as of the date of such Purchaser Questionnaire and as of the date hereof. By executing this Agreement, the Subscriber further represents that he or she does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant a participation to such person, or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.
(b) The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act on the basis that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of Shares
3
hereunder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and regulations issued thereunder and other available exemptions, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on representations of the Subscriber set forth herein.
(c) The Subscriber represents that he or she has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his investment. The Subscriber is a sophisticated investor, has relied upon independent investigations made by the Subscriber and, to the extent believed by the Subscriber to be appropriate, the Subscriber’s representatives, including the Subscriber’s own professional, tax and other advisors, and is making an independent decision to invest in the Shares. The Subscriber further represents that the Subscriber has had access, during the course of the transactions contemplated hereby and prior to the Subscriber’s purchase of Shares, to the same kind of information that is specified in Part I of a registration statement under the 1933 Act and that the Subscriber has had, during the course of the transactions contemplated hereby and prior to the Subscriber’s purchase of the Shares, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to the Subscriber or to which the Subscriber had access, and the Subscriber has read carefully such documents, materials and information and understands and has evaluated the types of risks involved with a purchase of the Shares. The Subscriber has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) from the Company or its respective stockholders, directors, officers or affiliates, or from any other person or entity, in connection with its investment in the Shares. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has not given any assurances with respect to the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares. Furthermore, the Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon this investment or upon the Company, nor has any such agency made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(d) The Subscriber understands that the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares or an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely. The Subscriber must be prepared to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time. In particular, the Subscriber acknowledges that he or she is aware that the Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the current conditions for use of Rule 144 by certain holders is the availability to the public of current information about the Company. Such information is not now available, and the Company has no current plans to make such information available. The Subscriber represents that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares, he or she will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares only in a manner consistent with his representations set forth herein and then only in accordance with the Shareholders’ Agreement referred to in Article VII.
(e) Independent of the additional restrictions on the transfer of Shares contained in the Shareholders’ Agreement referred to in Article VII, the Subscriber agrees that he or she will not make a transfer, disposition or pledge of any of the Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, unless and until (i) he or she shall have
4
notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, at the expense of the Subscriber or his or her transferee, he or she shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act.
(f) The Subscriber acknowledges that this investment is not recommended for investors who have any need for a current return on this investment or who cannot bear the risk of losing their entire investment. The Subscriber acknowledges that: (i) he or she has adequate means of providing for his current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment; (ii) the Subscriber’s commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth; and (iii) the Subscriber’s investment in the Shares will not cause the Subscriber’s overall financial commitments to become excessive.
3.3 Legends; Stop Transfer.
(a) The Subscriber acknowledges that all certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear the following legends:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR EXCHANGED UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OR EXCHANGE COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AND THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (AS APPLICABLE), AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, EACH AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS PARTY THERETO, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY.”
(b) The certificates evidencing the Shares shall also bear any legend required by any applicable state securities law.
(c) The Company shall make a notation regarding the restrictions on transfer of the Shares in its stock books, and the Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company only if transferred or sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act
5
covering such Shares or pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.2(e) hereof. A copy of this Agreement, together with any amendments thereto, shall remain on file with the Secretary of the Company and shall be available for inspection to any properly interested person without charge within five (5) days after the receipt of a written request therefor by the Company.
