d. Purchase for Investment.  Each Individual Purchaser acknowledges that the Selling Stockholders are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon such Individual Purchaser’s representation to the Selling Stockholders, which by such Individual Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement such Individual Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Shares to be acquired by such Individual Purchaser will be acquired for investment for such Individual Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Individual Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Individual Purchaser further represents that such Individual Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Shares.
e. Restricted Securities. Each Individual Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Individual Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Such Individual Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Individual Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Such Individual Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Such Individual Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Individual Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
