ARTICLE II.
REPRESENTATIONS BY THE PURCHASER
2.1. Representations by the Purchaser. In order to induce the Company
to enter into this Agreement and sell the Shares to the Purchaser, the Purchaser
makes the following representations and warranties to the Company, which
representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and
shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date:
(a) Access to Information. The Purchaser, in making the decision
to purchase the Shares, has relied solely upon independent investigations made
by the Purchaser and/or its representatives, if any. The Purchaser and/or its
representatives during the course of this transaction, and prior to the purchase
of any Shares, has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers
from Company concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Shares
and to review any additional public information, documents, records and books
relative to the business and the operations of the Company.
(b) Sophistication and Knowledge. The Purchaser has sufficient
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it can represent
itself and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the
Shares. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company with respect to the tax and
other economic considerations of an investment in the Shares, and the Purchaser
has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only the Purchaser's own
advisor(s). The Purchaser represents that it has not been organized for the
purpose of acquiring the Shares. Purchaser understands that its investment in
the Shares is extremely speculative and involves a high degree of risk.
Purchaser is ABLE TO BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF THIS INVESTMENT WITH FULL
UNDERSTANDING THAT IT MAY LOSE ITS ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
(c) Lack of Liquidity. The Purchaser, after carefully reviewing
the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, acknowledges that the
purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk and further acknowledges
that it can bear the economic risk of the purchase
2
of the Shares, including the total loss of its investment. The Purchaser has no
present need for liquidity in connection with its purchase of the Shares.
(d) No Public Solicitation. The Purchaser is not subscribing for
the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or
other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or
any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the
Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally. Neither the
Company nor the Purchaser has engaged in any "Directed Selling Efforts in the
U.S." as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of Regulation S
("Regulation S") promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act").
(e) Authority. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority
to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, making an
investment in the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Purchaser has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Purchaser and the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not violate or conflict with any provision
of the Purchaser's charter and other governing documents to or by which the
Purchaser is a party or bound. This Agreement, when executed and delivered,
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser,
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.
(f) Regulation S Exemption. The Purchase expressly agrees and
acknowledges that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements of United States Federal and state
securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and that
the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set
forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the
suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares. In this regard, the
Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that:
(i) Purchaser will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of the shares, unless they are registered under the Act, and applicable
foreign securities laws or unless they are sold in a resale to another offshore
non-U.S. person in accordance with the exemption from registration under U.S.
