Securities Law Representations The Purchaser acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act, based, in part, in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, and a comparable exemption from qualification under applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from time to time. The Purchaser, by executing this Agreement, hereby makes the following representations to the Company and acknowledges that the Company’s reliance on federal and state securities law exemptions from registration and qualification is predicated, in substantial part, upon the accuracy of these representations: • The Purchaser is acquiring the Restricted Shares solely for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution, all or any portion of the shares within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or any applicable state securities laws. • The Purchaser is an “accredited investor”, as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. • The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares. The Purchaser has been furnished with, and/or has access to, such information as the Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Restricted Shares. However, in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Restricted Shares, the Purchaser has and will rely only upon the advice of the Purchaser’s own legal counsel, tax advisors, and/or investment advisors. • The Purchaser is aware that any value the Restricted Shares may have depends on their vesting and certain other factors, and that any investment in common shares of a closely held corporation such as the Company is non-marketable, non-transferable and could acquire capital to be invested for an indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss. • The Purchaser understands that the Restricted Shares will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws, and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances, including in accordance with the conditions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect. The Purchaser acknowledges receiving a copy of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and represents that the Purchaser is familiar with such rule, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and the applicable state securities law. • The Purchaser has read and understands the restrictions, limitations and the Company’s rights set forth in the Management Investor Rights Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement that will be imposed on the Restricted Shares (including those restrictions and limitations which will continue after the Shares have vested). The Purchaser acknowledges that to the extent the Purchaser is not a party to the Management Investor Rights Agreement at the time that the Purchaser purchases the Restricted Shares, such purchase shall be treated for all purposes as effecting the Purchaser’s simultaneous execution of the Management Investor Rights Agreement and the Purchaser shall be bound thereby. • The Purchaser has not relied upon any oral representation made to the Purchaser relating to the Restricted Shares or upon information presented in any promotional meeting or material relating to the Restricted Shares. • The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (a) any certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares (or evidencing any other securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, merger or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws or the Management Investor Rights Agreement or the Plan, and (b) except as otherwise provided under the Management Investor Rights agreement, the Company has no obligation to register the Shares or file any registration statement under federal or state securities laws.
