The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e).
(s) Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has not been amended or modified from the form attached hereto in any manner that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of any Purchaser or the value of its investment in the Shares. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement, side letter or other arrangement relating to the Merger that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of any Purchaser or the value of its investment in the Shares, other than as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

15.
application relating to or affecting rights of creditors. The Company has no reason to believe that the Merger will not occur promptly following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. If such Purchaser is a natural person, such Purchaser has the legal capacity to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by such Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and is, or when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application or insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents, if any, of such Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.
(c) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Such Purchaser is acquiring
16.
the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not presently have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Shares (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity; such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer.
(d) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on the Closing Date it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement.
(f) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(g) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such evaluation, consultation nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules). Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.
(h) Brokers and Finders. Other than the Jefferies in its capacity as placement agent, no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Purchaser.
(i) Independent Investment Decision. Such Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
17.
and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules).
(j) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(k) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.
(l) Residency. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser’s principal executive offices are, and if such Purchaser is a natural person, such Purchaser’s principal residence is, in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Purchaser’s name on Annex A hereto, and all communications between such Purchaser and the Company regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement took place within or from the state of such principal executive offices or principal residence.
(m) No Disqualification Events. No Purchaser that beneficially holds or will hold after the Closing 20% or more of the Company’s voting stock, nor, to the extent it has them, any of such Purchaser’s shareholders, members, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers, are subject to any Disqualification Event, except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The purchase of the Shares by any Purchaser that beneficially holds or will hold after the Closing 20% or more of the Company’s voting stock will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.
The Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that no party to this Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Article III and the Transaction Documents.

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Transaction Documents, each Purchaser covenants that the Shares may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) to the Company, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) Legends. Certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “Blue Sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c) (and a stock transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Shares):

In addition, if any Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company, certificates evidencing the Shares issued to such Purchaser shall bear a customary “affiliates” legend.
(c) Removal of Legends. Subject to the Company’s right to request an opinion of counsel as set forth in Section 4.1(a), the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be removable and the Company shall issue or cause to be issued a certificate without such legend or any other legend (except for any “affiliates” legend as set forth in Section 4.1(b)) to the holder of the applicable Shares upon which it is stamped, if (i) such Shares are registered for resale and resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), including without limitation in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 if applicable to the Company at the time of such sale or transfer, and
19.
the holder and its broker have delivered customary documents reasonably requested by the Company Counsel in connection with such sale or transfer, or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement that the Company be in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and without other restriction and Company Counsel has provided written confirmation of such eligibility to the Company. Any fees (with respect to the Company Counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.
4.2 Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Purchaser who requests a copy in writing promptly after such filing. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to qualify the Shares for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), which, subject to the accuracy of the Company’s and the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth herein, shall consist of the submission of all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers who request in writing such evidence.
4.3 No Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Celladon and the Affiliates of the Company and the Affiliates of Celladon, shall not, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers.
4.4 Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes.
4.5 No Promotion. The Company agrees that it will not, and shall cause its Subsidiary not to, without the prior written consent of a Purchaser (as defined below), use in advertising, publicity, or other public communication, the name of a Purchaser or any partner or employee of a Purchaser, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service xxxx, symbol or any abbreviation, or contraction thereof owned by a Purchaser, except that the Company may make any such disclosure if, in the Company’s reasonable belief upon the advice of counsel, such disclosure is required (A) by applicable law or (B) to the extent required in connection with any filings with the Commission.

The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
24.
6.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (other than by merger or consolidation or to an entity which acquires the Company, including by way of acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets). Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchasers”.
6.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in the immediately preceding Section 6.7, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person; provided, however, that in respect of all periods prior to a termination of the Merger Agreement: (a) Celladon shall be an express third party beneficiary of Sections 6.5 and 6.18 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms thereof; and (b) upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Celladon shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms hereof, including the obligations of the parties to sell and purchase the Shares, provided, further that Jefferies LLC is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement as set forth in Section 6.20.
6.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
25.
6.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall terminate at the Closing and only the agreements and covenants contained herein that by their terms survive the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.
6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor and achieves that same or substantially the same effect or result, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.13 Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, if other than the Company, of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent, if other than the Company, for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company, and upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2, Celladon, will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages will not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by the Purchasers, the Company or Celladon by reason of any breach of any such provisions. Each of the Purchasers and the Company hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any Person with respect thereto.
26.
6.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.16 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or similar event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to the Shares, a number of shares, a price per share or the class or type of securities with respect to the Shares shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.
6.17 Independent Nature of the Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser 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 Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser. The Company’s obligations to each Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are identical to its
27.
obligations to each other Purchaser other than such differences resulting solely from the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser.
6.18 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares abandoned (i) at any time prior to the Closing, by mutual written consent of the Company and Purchaser, provided, however, that prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company shall not terminate this Agreement except with the prior written consent of Celladon (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (ii) if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the End Date, as defined in the Merger Agreement (the “End Date”), by any Purchaser listed on Annex A hereto (with respect to itself only), upon written notice to the other; or (iii) by either the Company or any Purchaser listed on Annex A (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable order, degree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.18 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 6.18, the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.18, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other or to Celladon Corporation, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.
6.19 Waiver of Conflicts. Each Purchaser acknowledges that: (a) it has read this Agreement; (b) it has been represented in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of its own choice or has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel; and (c) it understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement and is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement. Each Purchaser understands that the Company has been represented in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement by Xxxxxx LLP, that at least one of the Purchasers is represented by Xxxxxx LLP in this transaction and that Xxxxxx LLP now or may in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the representation of such Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters of a nature similar to those contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and each Purchaser hereby acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation, and hereby waives any conflict arising out of such representation with respect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement.
6.20 Reliance by and Exculpation of Jefferies as Placement Agent.
28.
(a) Exculpation. Each Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that (i) Jefferies, its affiliates and its representatives have not made, and will not make any representations or warranties with respect to the Company or the offer and sale of the Shares, and such Purchaser will not rely on any statements made by Jefferies, orally or in writing, to the contrary; (ii) it will be responsible for conducting its own due diligence investigation with respect to the Company and the offer and sale of the Shares, (iii) it will be purchasing Shares based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company, (iv) it has negotiated the offer and sale of the Shares directly with the Company, and Jefferies will not be responsible for the ultimate success of any such investment and (v) the decision to invest in the Company will involve a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of such investment. Each Purchaser further represents and warrants to Jefferies that it, including any fund or funds that it manages or advises that participates in the offer and sale of the Shares, is permitted under its constitutive documents (including, without limitation, all limited partnership agreements, charters, bylaws, limited liability company agreements, all applicable side letters with investors, and similar documents) to make investments of the type contemplated by this Agreement. In light of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Purchaser and the Company release Jefferies, its employees, officers, representatives and affiliates from any liability with respect to such Purchaser’s participation in the offer and sale of the Shares including, but not limited to, any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by the Company. This Section 6.20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Jefferies has introduced each Purchaser to the Company in reliance on the Purchaser’s understanding and agreement to this Section 6.20.
(b) The parties agree and acknowledge that Jefferies may rely on the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement and may rely on the representations and warranties of the respective Purchasers contained in this Agreement as if such representations, warranties, agreements and covenants, as applicable, were made directly to Jefferies. The parties further agree that Jefferies may rely on the legal opinion to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii) hereof.
(c) Each party hereto agrees for the express benefit of Jefferies, that: (1) neither Jefferies, nor any of its affiliates or any of its representatives (A) has any duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or in the engagement letter, dated as of November 18, 2015, between the Company and Jefferies (the “Engagement Letter”); (B) shall be liable for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by the Company; (C) makes any representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; or (D) shall be liable (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (y) for anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except for such party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and (2) Jefferies, its affiliates and its representatives shall be entitled to (A) rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Company and (2) be indemnified by
29.
the Company for acting as placement agent hereunder pursuant the indemnification provisions set forth in the Engagement Letter.
