(b) the Company and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a stockholders’ agreement, or a joinder or counterpart to an existing stockholders’ agreement, dated as of the Initial Closing (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), containing customary “tag-along/drag-along” rights and such other stockholder rights afforded any other third party investor in the Company participating in the Initial Third Party Sale; and
(c) in consideration of the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a stock certificate representing the Initial Shares.

Such secondary purchase and sale shall be referred to herein as the “Secondary Investment” and, together with the Initial Investment, the “Investments.” The number of Secondary Shares so purchased shall be equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) obtained by dividing (a) the Secondary Purchase Price by (b) the Initial Per Share Purchase Price.

(a) the Company shall have consummated: (i) the Initial Third Party Sale and (ii) the Secondary Third Party Sale;
(b) the closing of the Secondary Third Party Sale shall have occurred on or prior to the end of Purchaser’s next fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter during which the Initial Closing occurred;
(c) the representations and warranties of the Company and Xxxxxx set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of the Secondary Closing, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date);
(d) each of the Company and Xxxxxx shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all obligations and agreements required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it or him, respectively, on or prior to the date of the Secondary Closing;

The remaining five Secondary Investment Payments shall be made in five subsequent quarterly payments prior to or at the end of each subsequent fiscal quarter, with the final Secondary Investment Payment being made prior to or at the end of Purchaser’s sixth fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter during which the Initial Closing occurred. Purchaser shall make each Secondary Investment Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as the Company may designate in writing. The Company shall deliver to Purchaser a stock certificate representing the Secondary Shares against delivery of the initial Secondary Investment Payment (the “Secondary Closing”).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company and Xxxxxx:
5.1 Power and Authority. Purchaser has all requisite power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement as of the date hereof.

5.2 Nature of Purchase. Purchaser will purchase the Shares for Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the 1933 Act. Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act. Purchaser is knowledgeable in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the Investments. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that such Investments are of a speculative nature, involve a high degree of risk, and are subject to risk of loss. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that (a) neither the Shares nor the sale of the Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act, or registered or qualified under the securities Laws of any state, (b) there is no market for the Shares, and (c) the Shares may be subject to transfer restrictions as provided in any Stockholders’ Agreement. Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Investments and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as has been requested.
5.3 Stock Legend. Purchaser acknowledges that the certificates for the Shares will contain a legend substantially as follows:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ‘ACT’), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.”
The requirement that the Shares contain the legend set forth above shall cease and terminate when the Shares are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act. Upon the consummation of an event described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company, upon the surrender of certificates containing such legend, shall, at its own expense (without the need for any opinion of counsel for Purchaser), deliver to the holder of any such securities as to which the requirement for such legend shall have terminated, one or more new certificates evidencing such securities not bearing such legend.
5.4 Independent Investment Decision. Purchaser (a) has received and reviewed copies of this Agreement, the Organizational Documents of the Company, and such other documents and information as Purchaser has deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of making its own investment analysis of and decision to purchase the Shares, and (b) has independently conducted its own independent financial and business investigation of the Shares, the Company and any matter relevant to the value of the Shares.
5.5 Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the execution and delivery of, nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by, nor the compliance by Purchaser with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement will conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, any contract, agreement or other instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or to which any of its properties may be bound.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve (nor is intended to relieve) an Indemnified Party of any liability to the extent (and only to the extent) such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law (including liability under certain U.S. securities laws which, under certain circumstances, may impose liability even on persons acting in good faith).
