Investor understands that the Securities that it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

4.7. High Risk and Speculative Investment. Investor recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the risk factors set forth in the SEC Reports and the Memorandum and the following: (a) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (b) the Investor may not be able to liquidate its investment; (c) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (d) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Securities; and (e) that the Securities will not become actively traded.

4.11. Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities (and the equity securities issuable upon conversion and exercise thereof, respectively) may bear the following legend, in addition to any other legends required by applicable law:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CERTIFICATE (OR AN AFFIDAVIT OF LOST CERTIFICATE ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER) MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE ISSUER OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF ANY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.”

4.12. For ERISA plans only. To the extent an Investor is the fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”), it represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Investor fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision. The Investor fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

4.13. OFAC List.

(a) Investor should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx before making the following representations. Investor represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx.

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. Investor agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Placement Agent should Investor become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. Investor understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of Investor, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from Investor, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Placement Agent may also be required to report such action and to disclose Investor’s identity to OFAC. Investor further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to Investor, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of Investor if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company and the Placement Agent or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

(c) To the best of Investor’s knowledge, none of: (1) Investor; (2) any person controlling or controlled by Investor; (3) if Investor is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in Investor; or (4) any person for whom Investor is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure, or any immediate family member or close associate of a senior foreign political figure.

This Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, and Escrow Agreement, together with the Omnibus Signature Page and Purchaser Questionnaire and the documents referred to herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein

8.12. Parties in Interest. None of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except for Sections 2.28 and 3 which shall be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Placement Agent.

8.13. Independent Nature of Investors. The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement or other transaction document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement or any other transaction document. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any other transaction document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other transaction document, each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other transaction documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Investor represents and warrants that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and acknowledges and understands that XXXXXXXXXX PLLC has served as counsel to the Company only, and the Investors cannot rely upon XXXXXXXXXX PLLC in any manner with regard to their decision to participate in the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Investor also acknowledges and understands that Golenbock Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxx LLP has served as counsel to the Placement Agent only and the Investors cannot rely upon Golenbock Xxxxxxx Assor Xxxx & Xxxxxx LLP in any manner with regard to their decision to participate in the transactions contemplated hereby.
