6. | Settlement, Representations. |
a. | This is a compromise and settlement of potential or actual disputed claims and is made for the purpose of avoiding the uncertainty, expense, and inconvenience of future litigation. Neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of any consideration concurrently with the execution hereof shall be deemed or construed at any time or for any purpose as an admission by any party of any liability or obligation of any kind. Any such liability or wrongdoing is expressly denied. The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement was reached after good faith settlement negotiations and after each party had an opportunity to consult legal counsel. This Agreement extends to, and is for the benefit of, the Parties, their respective successors, assigns and agents and anyone claiming by, through or under the Parties hereto. | |
x. | Xxxxxxxx represents, warrants and agrees that the Debt constitutes all amounts owed by the Company to Kirschen and any of Kirschen’s Affiliates as of the date hereof, and that such Debt is being forgiven in exchange for the issuance to Kirschen of the Shares. | |
x. | Xxxxxxxx hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows: |
x. | Xxxxxxxx is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). | |
ii. | Kirschen has been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information that Kirschen requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Shares. Kirschen has been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. Kirschen has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Kirschen understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. Additionally, Kirschen understands and represents that he is purchasing the Shares notwithstanding the fact that the Company may disclose in the future certain material information that the Kirschen has not received, including the financial results of the Company for their current fiscal quarters. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Kirschen shall modify, amend or affect such Kirschen’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties, if any, contained herein. Kirschen has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its investment in the Shares. Kirschen has full power and authority to make the representations referred to herein, to purchase the Shares and to execute and deliver this Agreement. | |
iii. | Kirschen has read and understood, and is familiar with, this Agreement, the Shares and the business and financial affairs of the Company. |
iv. | Kirschen, either personally, or together with his advisors, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Shares and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of a Share. Kirschen and his advisors have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the Shares. Kirschen’s financial condition is such that Kirschen is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares that Kirschen may acquire pursuant to this Agreement, for an indefinite period of time, and the risk of loss of Kirschen’s entire investment in the Company. | |
x. | Xxxxxxxx has investigated the acquisition of the Shares to the extent Kirschen deemed necessary or desirable and the Company has provided Kirschen with any reasonable assistance Kirschen has requested in connection therewith. | |
vi. | The Shares are being acquired for Kirschen’s own account for investment, with no intention by Kirschen to distribute or sell any portion thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act (other than the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall be sold to Purchaser pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of the date hereof), and will not be transferred by Kirschen in violation of the Securities Act or the then applicable rules or regulations thereunder. No one other than Kirschen has any interest in or any right to acquire the Shares. Kirschen understands and acknowledges that the Company will have no obligation to recognize the ownership, beneficial or otherwise, of the Shares by anyone but Kirschen. | |
vii. | No representations or warranties have been made to Kirschen by the Company, or any representative of the Company, or any securities broker/dealer, other than as set forth in this Agreement. | |
viii. | Kirschen is aware that Kirschen’s rights to transfer the Shares is restricted by the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and Kirschen will not offer for sale, sell or otherwise transfer the Shares without registration under the Securities Act and qualification under the securities laws of all applicable states, unless such sale would be exempt therefrom. | |
ix. | Kirschen understands and agrees that the Shares he acquires have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities act in reliance on exemptions therefrom and that the Company has no obligation to register any of the Shares offered by the Company. | |
x. | Xxxxxxxx has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this investment and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned. Kirschen understands that no person other than the Company has been authorized to make any representation and if made, such representation may not be relied on unless it is made in writing and signed by the Company. The Company has not, however, rendered any investment advice to the undersigned with respect to the suitability. |
xi. | Kirschen understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the securities included in the Shares, as well as the common stock issuable with respect thereto, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates): |
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO ANY EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAW, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH MUST BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE CORPORATION.
xii. | Kirschen also acknowledges and agrees that an investment in the Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss of the entire investment in the Company, and there is no assurance that a public market for the will be available and that, as a result, Kirschen may not be able to liquidate Kirschen’s investment in the Shares should a need arise to do so. | |
xiii. | Kirschen is not dependent for liquidity on any of the amounts Kirschen is investing in the Shares. | |
xiv. | Kirschen has full power and authority to make the representations referred to herein, to purchase the Shares and to execute and deliver this Agreement. | |
xv. | Kirschen understands that the foregoing representations and warranties are to be relied upon by the Company as a basis for the exemptions from registration and qualification of the sale of the Shares under the federal and state securities laws and for other purposes. |
