The Stockholder represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as set forth below in this Article II, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, each of which is being relied upon by the Company, as the case may be, as a material inducement to enter into and perform this Agreement:

 

Section 2.01               Existence and Power.

 

(a)             The Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all requisite entity power and authority to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)             Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Stockholder (i) will contravene any formation documents of the Stockholder, (ii) will constitute a violation of or a default under, or conflict with or require a filing with, or consent, approval or authorization under, any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement, restriction, law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction, suit, action or proceeding of any kind to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or any of its assets are bound, or (iii) will require the Stockholder to make any filing to any governmental or quasi-governmental authority.

 

Section 2.02               Valid and Enforceable Agreement; Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Stockholder of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite entity action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to the effect of general principles of equity.

 

Section 2.03               Title to Exchange Shares. The Stockholder is the sole beneficial owner of and, at the Closing, will be the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Exchange Shares. The Stockholder has good, valid and marketable title to the Exchange Shares, free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto created by the Stockholder, other than pledges or security interests that the Stockholder may have created in favor of a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker, which will be terminated in connection with Closing. The Stockholder has not, in whole or in part (except as described in the preceding sentence), (a) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of the Exchange Shares or its rights in the Exchange Shares, or (b) given any person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Exchange Shares.

 

Section 2.04               Reliance on Exemptions. The Stockholder acknowledges that the New Shares are being offered and exchanged in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Stockholder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Stockholder to acquire the New Shares.

 

Section 2.05               Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The New Shares to be received by the Stockholder hereunder will be acquired for the Stockholder’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Stockholder does not agree to hold any of the New Shares for any minimum period of time and reserves the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such New Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Stockholder is acquiring the New Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Stockholder does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly with any person to distribute or effect any distribution of the New Shares to or through any person or entity. The Stockholder is not, nor is any affiliate of the Stockholder, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or an entity engaged in business that would require it to be so registered.

Section 2.06               Investment Experience. The Stockholder understands that the purchase of the New Shares involves a substantial risk and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the New Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 2.07               Disclosure of Information. The Stockholder has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the New Shares, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. The Stockholder acknowledges that no officer, director, attorney, broker-dealer, placement agent, finder or other person affiliated with the Company has given the Stockholder any information or made any representations, oral or written, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, on which the Stockholder has relied upon in deciding to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby. Based on the information the Stockholder has deemed appropriate, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Stockholder has sought its own accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Stockholder shall modify, limit or otherwise affect the Stockholder’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

 

Section 2.08               Restricted Securities. The Stockholder understands that the New Shares will be “restricted securities” under the U.S. 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 Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

Section 2.09            Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, the New Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:

The Stockholder is a sophisticated institutional investor with sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in private equity transactions to properly evaluate the risks and merits of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 2.11               No General Solicitation. The Stockholder acknowledges that the New Shares were offered to it solely by direct contact between the Stockholder and the Company or the authorized representatives of the Company, and not by any other means, including any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (as such terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act).
