This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except (a) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) as may be limited by the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.
2.3 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in a violation or breach by Seller of, or constitute a default by the Seller under, any applicable law, rule or regulation, any provision of its organizational documents or any agreement, instrument, decree, judgment or order to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be bound which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of Seller to comply with or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against Seller or, to Seller’s knowledge, currently threatened that questions the validity of this Agreement, or the right of Seller to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or that would otherwise have a material adverse effect on the ability of Seller to comply with or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.
4

Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:
3.1 Authority and Consents. Purchaser has the right, power, legal capacity and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and no approvals or consent of any governmental or regulatory authority or other persons is necessary in connection herewith.

3.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents, warrants, and covenants that Purchaser does not presently have and does not intend to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 6.11, this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing for a period of three years.
5
3.4 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares will be “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state laws (and may bear a legend to that effect) and that, pursuant to these laws, 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. 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 holding period for the Shares and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Purchaser’s control.
3.5 Accredited Investor; Reliance on Exemption. Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

Purchaser (a) is a sophisticated entity familiar with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement, (b) has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company to make an informed decision regarding the purchase of the Shares, (c) has negotiated this Agreement on an arm’s-length basis and has had an opportunity to consult with its legal, tax and financial advisors concerning this Agreement and its subject matter and (d) has independently and without reliance upon Seller, and based on such information and the advice of such advisors as Purchaser has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to Purchaser, and none of such persons has given Purchaser any investment advice, opinion or other information on whether the purchase of the Shares is prudent. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) Seller currently may have, and later may come into possession of, material non-public information with respect to the Company that is not known to Seller and that may be material to a decision to sell the Shares (“Excluded Information”), (ii) Purchaser has determined to acquire the Shares notwithstanding that such Excluded Information may exist and may not have been disclosed by the Company or the Seller to the Purchaser, (iii) the price for the Shares may significantly appreciate or depreciate over time and by agreeing to sell the Shares to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Seller is giving up the opportunity to sell the Shares at a higher price in the future and (iv) Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser, and Purchaser to the fullest extent of the law waives and releases any claims, whether known or unknown, that it might have against Seller (or its affiliates or agents), whether under applicable securities laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information in connection with the sale of the Shares and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is fully aware of (i) the lack of liquidity of the Shares and the restrictions on transferability of the Shares and (ii) the speculative nature of the Shares. In addition, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has consulted with its own tax advisors regarding the potential tax consequences of acquiring the Shares.
6
3.7 Lock-Up. Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall not purchase any additional equity of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock or any preferred stock, until the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date.

4.1 Each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver any and all such other instruments, documents and agreements and take all such actions as either party may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 5. Certain Covenants
5.1 The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to assist the Seller in connection with (a) any New York State and/or New York City real property transfer taxes (or similar charges) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) and the filing of any returns in respect of any Transfer Taxes that the Seller determines may be necessary in respect of the creation or operation of the Trust or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which Transfer Tax returns, if any, shall, consistent with Section 1.6.3, take the position that no Transfer Taxes are due upon such creation or operation, or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement), (b) any inquiry, audit, investigation, challenge, or assessment by New York State or New York City of any Transfer Tax returns or Transfer Taxes alleged to be due in respect of the creation or operation of the Trust or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) any protest, contest, litigation, or other challenge or proceeding by the Seller contesting any Transfer Taxes assessed or asserted to be due in respect of the creation or operation of the Trust or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provisions of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.
6.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original (including signatures delivered via facsimile or PDF) and all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement and the same instrument shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. The parties may deliver this Agreement by facsimile or PDF and each party shall be permitted to rely on the signatures so transmitted to the same extent and effect as if they were original signatures.
6.7 Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and all other persons hereafter that become a party hereto. No rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party without the written consent of the other party.
