(a)Power and Authority. Mestek represents and warrants that Mestek has
the power to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its
obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transaction contemplated have been duly
authorized by Mestek. No other corporate, court or other proceedings
are necessary to authorize the consummation of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Mestek, and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of Mestek. The execution and performance of this Agreement
by Mestek does not violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a
default under any judgment, order or decree to which it may be
subject, nor does such making or performance constitute a violation of
or conflict with any provision of Mestek's Articles of Incorporation
or By-laws.
(b) Investment Intent. Mestek is acquiring the Warrant for investment
for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, the distribution thereof, except for any such
distribution thereof effected in compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Mestek will not, directly or
indirectly, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of any Shares unless the transfer, sale, assignment, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition (the "transfer") (i) is pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii)
Mestek shall have furnished CareCentric with an opinion of counsel,
which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to
CareCentric, to the effect that no such registration is required
because of the availability of an exemption from registration under
the Securities Act.
(c) Legend. Mestek has been advised by CareCentric that the
certificate or certificates to be issued upon exercise of the New
Warrant, representing the Shares will bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, MAY NOT BE
OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR
IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(d) Restricted Securities. Mestek has been advised by CareCentric that
(i) any Shares received by Mestek upon the exercise of the New Warrant
will be "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 (as it may
3
be amended from time to time) promulgated under the Securities Act
("Rule 144"); (ii) the Shares must be held indefinitely and Mestek
must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the
Shares unless the offer and sale of the Shares is subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available; (iii) Rule 144 does not presently provide
an exemption for present resales of the Shares; (iv) when and if the
Shares may be disposed of without registration under the Securities
Act in reliance on Rule 144, such disposition can, under some
circumstances, be made only in limited amounts and otherwise in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Rule; (v) a
restrictive legend in the form heretofore set forth will be placed on
the certificates representing the Shares; and (vi) a notation will be
made in the appropriate records of CareCentric indicating that the
Shares are subject to restriction on transfer and appropriate stop
transfer restrictions will be issued to CareCentric's transfer agent
with respect to the Shares.
