ECONOMIC RISK; SOPHISTICATION 19 Section 13. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Sophistication The Stockholder acknowledges that he is an informed and sophisticated investor and, together with his advisors, has undertaken such investigation as they have deemed necessary, including the review of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, to enable the Stockholder to make an informed and intelligent decision with respect to the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby.
Financial and Business Sophistication It has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Subordinated Notes. It has relied solely upon its own knowledge of, and/or the advice of its own legal, financial or other advisors with regard to, the legal, financial, tax and other considerations involved in deciding to invest in the Subordinated Notes.
Experience The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Company and of making an informed investment decision. The undersigned has adequate means of providing for the undersigned's current needs and possible future contingencies and the undersigned has no need, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Shares for which the undersigned subscribes. The undersigned is able to bear the economic risks of this investment and, consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned is able to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the undersigned's entire investment in the Company in the event such loss should occur. Except as otherwise indicated herein, the undersigned is the sole party in interest as to its investment in the Company, and it is acquiring the Shares solely for investment for the undersigned's own account and has no present agreement, understanding or arrangement to subdivide, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares subscribed for to any other person.
Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability Subscriber is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Shares and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Subscriber must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares and to afford a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Shares.
Presentation of Potential Target Businesses The Company shall cause each of the Initial Shareholders to agree that, in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the Initial Shareholders will present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or company, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations the Initial Shareholders might have.
