(c) Each Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific provisions 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 the Holders set forth herein for purposes of qualifying for exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and applicable state securities laws.
