ARTICLE VIII
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH INVESTOR
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH INVESTOR
As an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and to issue and sell the Series D Preferred Shares, each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as to himself, herself or itself only and agrees as follows:
8.1. Organization. If such Investor is not an individual, such Investor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Investors organization, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its respective businesses as now owned, leased and operated.
8.2. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party have been duly authorized and approved by such Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Investor and (assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by each of the other parties hereto) is the valid and binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms, and each of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party has been duly authorized by such Investor and, upon execution and delivery by such Investor (assuming the due execution and delivery thereof by each of the other parties thereto), will be a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its respective terms, in each case subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement thereof or by general equitable principles, (ii) laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) to the extent any indemnification provisions may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
8.3. Brokers. Such Investor has no Contract with any broker, finder or similar agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which such Investor shall have any liability or responsibility.
8.4. Investment Representations.
(a) Such Investor acknowledges that it has been furnished with such documents, materials and information as such Investor deems necessary or appropriate for evaluating an investment in the Company. Such Investor further acknowledges that it: (i) has
-31-
had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the directors and officers of the Company, and Persons acting on the Companys behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series D Preferred Shares; (ii) has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating and understanding the merits and risks of an investment in the Company; and (iii) is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Company and the Series D Preferred Shares and Conversion Common Shares in that such Investor can afford to hold the Series D Preferred Shares and Conversion Common Shares for an indefinite period and can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed and understood by the Parties that the acknowledgements made in this Section 8.4(a) shall not be construed to limit or modify in any way the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article VII or the right of any Investor to rely on such representations and warranties.
(b) Such Investor represents that it is acquiring the Restricted Securities purchased hereunder for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and that it has no present intention of selling such securities in a public distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws; provided, that nothing contained herein shall prevent such Investor and subsequent holders of Restricted Securities from transferring such securities in compliance with the provisions of Article IV.
(c) Such Investor is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(d) Such Investor understands that the Restricted Securities being sold hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and are being issued in reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of certain state securities laws, on the basis that the Restricted Securities will be sold to a limited number of accredited investors. Because the Restricted Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the Restricted Securities may not be re-offered or resold except through a valid and effective registration statement or pursuant to a valid exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and with the delivery of an opinion of counsel to such effect reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
8.5. Residence. If such Investor is an individual, such Investor resides in the state or province identified in the address of such Investor set forth on Appendix II; if such Investor is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of such Investors principal place of business is located at the addresses or addresses of such Investor set forth on Appendix II.

To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.
