Each Creditor represents to the Company that:
(a) The Creditor is acquiring the applicable Shares for his/her own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act,” or the “Act”) in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Creditor can bear the economic risk of investment in the applicable Shares, has knowledge and experience in financial business matters, is capable of bearing and managing the risk of investment in the applicable Shares and is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. Creditor recognizes that the applicable Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the applicable Shares is registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available.
(b) The Creditor has carefully considered and has, to the extent he/she believes such discussion necessary, discussed with his/her professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the applicable Shares for his/her particular tax and financial situation and his/her respective advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the applicable Shares are a suitable investment for him/her. Creditor has not been offered the applicable Shares by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to Creditor’s knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising. Creditor has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from Company, or persons acting on behalf of the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares and Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Creditor. Neither Company, nor any other party, has supplied Creditor any information regarding the Shares or an investment in the Shares other than as contained in this Agreement, and Creditor is relying on his/her own investigation and evaluation of Company and the Shares and not on any other information.
| Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx 4 of 8 |
(c) The Creditor understands and agrees that a legend has been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Shares in substantially the following form:
|
| ‘‘THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (II) THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE CORPORATION, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER ANY SUCH ACTS.’’ |
|
(d) The Creditor hereby covenants that he/she will, whenever and as reasonably requested by the Company and at Creditor’s reasonable cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, confirmations, powers of attorney and any instruments of further assurance, approvals and consents as the Company may reasonably require in order to complete, insure and perfect the transactions contemplated herein.
(e) The Creditor acknowledges that he/she is a sophisticated investor capable of assessing and assuming investment risks with respect to securities, including the Shares, and further acknowledges that the Company is entering into this Agreement with the Creditor in reliance on this acknowledgment and with Creditor’s understanding, acknowledgment and agreement that the Company is privy to material non-public information regarding the Company (collectively, the “Non-Public Information”), which Non-Public Information may be material to a reasonable investor, such as Creditor, when making investment disposition decisions, including the decision to enter into this Agreement, and Creditor’s decision to enter into the Agreement is being made with full recognition and acknowledgment that the Company is privy to the Non-Public Information, irrespective of whether such Non-Public Information has been provided to Creditor. Creditor hereby waives any claim, or potential claim, he/she has or may have against the Company relating to the Company’s possession of Non-Public Information. Creditor has specifically requested that the Company not provide it with any Non-Public Information. Creditor understands and acknowledges that the Company would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph, and that these representations and warranties are a fundamental inducement to the Company in entering into this Agreement.

(g) The obligations of each Creditor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Creditor, and no Creditor shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Creditor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Creditor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Creditors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Creditors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each Creditor has conducted its own diligence review. Each Creditor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Creditor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose, subject in each case to the terms and conditions hereof.
