The Investor and each Exchanging Investor understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and are being issued without registration under the Securities Act by reason of specific exemption(s) under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of the Exchanging Investors and the accuracy of the other representations and warranties made by the Investor in this Agreement. The Investor and the Exchanging Investors understand that the Company is relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information provided to the Company by the Investor or the Exchanging Investors) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemption(s).

 

(r)                                          The Investor acknowledges that the terms of the Exchange have been mutually negotiated between the Investor and the Company.  The Investor was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Exchange.

Ex. B.2 - 2



 

EXHIBIT C

 

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a holder who exchanges Notes for Shares generally must provide such holder’s correct TIN on IRS Form W-9 below or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or a holder’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS under Section 6723 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding (currently set at 28% of the payment). If a holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have a TIN, the holder should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. A Non-U.S. holder must establish its status as an exempt recipient from backup withholding and can do so by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such holder’s exempt foreign status.  U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.  Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.
