4. Lender’s Representations and Warranties. As an inducement to the Company to issue the Series D Units, and to undertake the other duties and obligations arising under this Agreement, Lender represents and warrants as follows to the Company that:

4.1. Authorization. Lender has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) as limited by laws relating to the enforceability of voting agreements and arrangements.

4.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Lender hereby confirms, that the Series D Units to be received by Lender and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Lender further represents that Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

4.3. Disclosure of Information. Lender believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to accept the Series D Units. Lender further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Series D Units and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of Lender to rely thereon.

4.4. Investment Experience. Lender is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Series D Units. Lender also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Series D Units.

4.5. Accredited Investor. Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

4.6. Restricted Securities. Lender understands that the Securities it is acquiring are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Lender represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

 

7


4.7. Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Lender further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 4, provided and to the extent this Section, the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the Voting Agreement, and such agreements are then applicable, and:

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(ii) Lender shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, Lender shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act.

4.8. Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

5. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall, at the option of Lender, be an Event of Default under this Agreement:

5.1. The Company’s failure to pay any obligation owing under the Note when due;

5.2. The representations and warranties of the Company made herein are false or misleading in any material respects;
