Section 3.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representations in this Agreement, which by such Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Common Stock to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the Common Stock in violation of applicable securities laws. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not have any contract,
2
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person in violation of applicable securities laws, with respect to any of the Common Stock.
Section 3.4 Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has relied on its own examination of the Corporation, including the merits and risks involved in making an investment decision with respect to the Common Stock. Such Purchaser believes it has received all information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the shares of Common Stock. The Purchaser further represents that it has (i) had an opportunity to review the public filings of the Corporation on the XXXXX system available through the SEC’s website, (ii) been furnished with all information regarding the Corporation through the public filings that the Purchaser has requested or desired to know and had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Corporation regarding the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Corporation, and (iii) understands that the Seller is not an officer or director of the Corporation and that the Seller does not have access to information about the Corporation in addition to the information available in the public filings of the Corporation.
Section 3.5 Investment Experience. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring any of the shares of Common Stock. The Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the shares of Common Stock for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. The Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Corporation so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Corporation. The Purchaser fully understands that the shares of Common Stock are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment.
Section 3.6 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the shares of Common Stock it is purchasing have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the shares of Common Stock are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal and state securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Seller in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations the shares of Common Stock may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act except in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current information about the Corporation be available to the public, and that pursuant to Rule 144, the Purchaser will be required to hold the Common Stock for a period of at least one (1) year, and thereafter be subject to the volume limitations on resale of Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of an investment in the shares of Common Stock.
