 5 

 

 

(a) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other documents of organization of Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Purchaser is bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation or decree applicable to Purchaser.

 

(b) Purchaser Status. At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, is not affiliated with any broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, and is not a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

 

(c) Information. Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company which have been requested and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares which have been requested by Purchaser. Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. In determining whether to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Shares, Purchaser has relied solely on the written information supplied by Company employees in response to any written due diligence information request provided by Purchaser to the Company, and Purchaser has not received nor relied upon any oral representation or warranty relating to the Company, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Shares, or any of the transactions or relationships contemplated thereby. Purchaser understands that its purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk. Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.

 

(d) Experience of Purchaser. Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives (who satisfy all of the affiliation, financial experience, acknowledgment and disclosure conditions set forth under Rule 501(i) of Regulation D under the Securities Act), has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

 6 

 

 

(e) General Solicitation. Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(f) No Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits thereof.

 

(g) Investment Representation. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution or sale in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities laws or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law. Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Company, in issuing the Shares, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Section 2.2 in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

 

(h) Transfer or Resale. Purchaser understands that: (i) the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that the Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

 

 7 

 

 

(i) Commissions and Finder’s Fees. Purchaser has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar payments by the Company or Purchaser relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(j) Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior To Date Hereof. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including short sales (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) and any other transaction designed to hedge the risk of ownership, however structured, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

 

(k) Reliance by the Company. Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of 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 Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

 

(l) Correctness of Representations and Information. Purchaser represents that the representations and warranties of this Section 2.2 and the information provided by Purchaser on the signature page hereof and Purchaser Questionnaire are true and correct as of the date hereof and, unless Purchaser otherwise notifies the Company prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

 

Article III
Covenants

 

3.1 Best Efforts. Each party shall use its best efforts timely to satisfy each of the covenants and the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Article IV of this Agreement.

 

3.2 Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Shares in accordance with Regulation D. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall have reasonably determined is necessary to qualify the Shares to Purchaser under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to register or qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits or taxation, in each case, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
