(e) Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”), that the Shares will include the foregoing restrictive legend, and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, that the Shares cannot be sold unless registered with the SEC and qualified by appropriate state securities regulators, or unless Purchaser obtains written consent from Company and otherwise complies with an exemption from such registration and qualification (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 144).
(f) In order to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Company has agreed to grant to Purchaser certain rights as a shareholder, including but not limited to redemption rights, anti-dilution protection, registration rights, and participation rights, which are set forth in an Investor Rights Agreement between the Parties and which Investor Rights Agreement shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated herein.
2.2 Purchaser represents and warrants to Company as follows:
(a) Purchaser has adequate means of providing for current needs and contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares offered by Company of the size contemplated. Purchaser represents that Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the investment and at the present time could afford a complete loss of such investment. Purchaser has had a full opportunity to inspect the books and records of the Company and to make any and all inquiries of Company officers and directors regarding the Company and its business as Purchaser has deemed appropriate.
(b) Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Regulation D of the Act or Purchaser, either alone or with Purchaser’s professional advisers who are unaffiliated with, have no equity interest in, and are not compensated by Company or any affiliate or selling agent of Company, directly or indirectly, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares offered by Company and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto and has the capacity to protect Purchaser’s own interests in connection with Purchaser’s proposed investment in the Shares.
(c) Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for Purchaser’s own account as principal, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part, and no other person or entity has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Shares.
(d) Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares without registration under the Act, or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of Purchaser’s purchase for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Shares have not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
