The CJC Shareholders and their respective advisors, if any, acknowledge and agree that they have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of Axiom and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Exchange Consideration which have been requested by the any CJC Shareholder or its advisors. The CJC Shareholders and their respective advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Axiom and have had such questions answered to their satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Axiom has not disclosed to any CJC Shareholder any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the applicable CJC Shareholder(s). Each CJC Shareholder understands that its investment in the Exchange Consideration involves a significant degree of risk.

| ||
(e) | Governmental Review. Each CJC Shareholder understands that no Governmental Authority has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Exchange Consideration. | |
| ||
(f) | Transfer or Re-sale. Each CJC Shareholder acknowledges and understands that (i) the sale or re-sale of the Exchange Consideration (as hereinafter defined) has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Exchange Consideration may not be transferred unless (a) the Exchange Consideration is sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) the applicable CJC Shareholder shall have delivered to Axiom, at the cost of the applicable CJC Shareholder, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the Exchange Consideration to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, which opinion shall be accepted by Axiom, (c) the Exchange Consideration is sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the applicable CJC Shareholder who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Exchange Consideration only in accordance with this Section and who is an Accredited Investor, (d) the Exchange Consideration is sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (e) the Exchange Consideration is sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Regulation S”), and the applicable CJC Shareholder shall have delivered to Axiom, at the cost of the applicable CJC Shareholder, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in corporate transactions, which opinion shall be accepted by Axiom; (ii) any sale of such Exchange Consideration made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any re-sale of such Exchange Consideration under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither Axiom nor any other Person is under any obligation to register such Exchange Consideration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Exchange Consideration may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. | |
| ||
(g) | Legends. Each of the CJC Shareholders understands that the shares of Axiom’s common stock that comprise the Exchange Consideration (the “Exchange Shares”) may, until such time as the Exchange Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Exchange Shares): | |
|
|
|
|
| “NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.” |
- 6 - |
The legend set forth above shall be removed and Axiom shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Exchange Share upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) the Security Shares are registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides Axiom with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Exchange Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion shall be accepted by Axiom so that the sale or transfer is effected. Each CJC Shareholder agrees to sell all Exchange Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.
(h) | Residency. Each CJC Shareholder is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the CJC Shareholder’s name on the signature pages hereto. | |
| ||
(i) | No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. CJC has exercised reasonable care, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and guidance, to determine whether any Covered Person (defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To CJS’ knowledge, no Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event, except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. CJC has complied, to the extent applicable, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. “Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act, including CJC; any predecessor or Affiliate of CJC; any director, executive officer, other officer participating in the Exchange, general partner or managing member of CJC; any beneficial owner of 20% or more of CJC’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power; any promoter (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with CJC in any capacity at the time of the Exchange; and any Person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the Exchange (a “Solicitor”), any general partner or managing member of any Solicitor, and any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the Exchange of any Solicitor or general partner or managing member of any Solicitor. |
