4.2 (a) No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company or the Placement Agent that would permit an offering of the Shares and Warrants, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issue of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that purpose is required, (b) if the Investor is outside the United States, it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense and (c) the Placement Agent is not authorized to make and has not made any representation, disclosure or use of any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants, except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or any free writing prospectus.
4.3 The Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).
4.4 The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors and made such investigation as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Shares and Warrants. The Investor also understands that there is no established public trading market for the Warrants being offered in the Offering, and that the Company does not expect such a market to develop. In addition, the Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Warrants on any securities exchange. The Investor understands that without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.
4.5 The Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all information acquired as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the public disclosure of that information by the Company in accordance with Section 13 of this Annex.
4.6 Since the time at which the Placement Agent first contacted such Investor about the Offering, the Investor has not disclosed any information regarding the Offering to any third parties (other than its legal, accounting and other advisors) and has not engaged in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined herein) involving the Company’s securities). The Investor covenants that it will not engage in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. The Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
4.7 The Investor is acquiring the Shares and Warrants (including, upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares) solely for such Investor’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or intent of resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Investor has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Shares, the Warrants, or the Warrant Shares, and the Investor has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.
4.8 The Investor has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risks of such investment.
4.9 The Investor is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the Internet (including, without limitation, internet “blogs,” bulletin boards, discussion groups and social networking sites) in connection with the Offering and sale of the Securities and is not subscribing for the Securities and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Investor was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Investor in connection with investments in securities generally.
4.10 The Investor meets the suitability standards set forth in Part B of the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Annex II.
4.11 The Investor is aware that the Placement Agent, for the services it is providing in this Offering will receive, with respect to subscriptions made in this Offering through the Placement Agent, (1) a cash compensation equal to 9% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from such subscribers; and (2) a warrant to purchase a number of shares equal to 8% of the Shares issued to such subscribers in the Offering. Other than those commissions payable to the Placement Agent as described herein, the Investor has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.12 The Investor acknowledges that the Placement Agent has acted as a placement agent for the Company in previous offerings of its debt and equity securities, and the Placement Agent and its registered representatives received, as compensation for those offerings, warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, which may give Placement Agent as incentive to sell the Securities to the Investor.
4.13 The Investor is aware that a Managing Partner in the Placement Agent’s New York, NY office, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx, entered into a final settlement with the Massachusetts Securities Division in 2001 pursuant to which he agreed, among other things, never to seek to register with the Massachusetts Securities Division in any capacity. The settlement resolved allegations that Xx. Xxxxxxxxxxx failed to adequately supervise employees at a prior broker-dealer.
