The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in a breach by the Stockholder of, or constitute a default by the Stockholder under, any agreement, instrument, decree, judgment or order to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder may be bound, or contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any law to which the Stockholder may be subject.
2.1.4 Experience, Evaluation, and Counsel. By reason of the Stockholder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Stockholder’s professional advisers who are unaffiliated with the Company and who are not compensated by the Company, the Stockholder has the capacity to protect the Stockholder’s own interests in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Company. The Stockholder is capable of evaluating the potential risks and benefits of the sale hereunder of the Shares. The Stockholder further represents that it has obtained to the extent that the Stockholder deems necessary, their own counsel with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the sale of the Shares.

2.1.6 No Future Participation. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Stockholder will have no future participation in any Company gains, losses, profits or distributions with respect to the Shares.

2.1.7 Tax Matters. The Stockholder has had an opportunity to review with the Stockholder’s tax advisers the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the Repurchase and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Stockholder is relying solely on such advisers and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Stockholder understands that the Stockholder (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Stockholder’s tax liability and any related interest and penalties that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
