the date hereof and as of the Closing Dates as follows:
(a) INVESTMENT INTENT. This Agreement is made
with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representations to the
Company, evidenced by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, that the
Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares (collectively the "Securities") for
investment for the Purchaser's own account, not as nominee or agent, and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public
offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Law. The
Purchaser has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform this
Agreement and the Rights Agreement, and this Agreement and the Rights Agreement
constitute valid and binding obligations upon it.
(b) PREFERRED SHARES NOT REGISTERED. The
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the offering of the Preferred Shares
pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act or
qualified under any blue sky laws on the grounds that the offering and sale of
securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 25102(f) of the Law, and other applicable state securities
or blue sky laws, and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is
predicated upon the Purchaser's representations set forth in this Agreement. The
Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless the Securities are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and qualified under applicable blue sky laws or an exemption from
such registration and such qualification is available.
(c) NO TRANSFER. The Purchaser covenants that in
no event will it dispose of any of the Securities (other than in conjunction
with an effective registration statement for the Securities under the Securities
Act or in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) unless
and until (i) the Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the
circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably
requested by the Company, the Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the
effect that (x) such disposition will not require registration under the
Securities Act and (y) appropriate action necessary for compliance
11
with the Securities Act, the Law and any other applicable state, local or
foreign law has been taken.
(d) KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. The Purchaser is
an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges
that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment
and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Preferred
Shares. The Purchaser has been furnished with and has had access to such
information as the Purchaser considered necessary to make a determination as to
the purchase of the securities.
(e) NOT ORGANIZED TO PURCHASE. The Purchaser has
not been organized for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.
(f) HOLDING REQUIREMENTS. The Purchaser
understands that if the Company does not (i) register its Common Stock with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (ii) become
subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (iii) supply information pursuant
to Rule 15c2-11 thereunder, or (iv) have a registration statement covering the
Securities (or a filing pursuant to the exemption from registration under
Regulation A of the Securities Act covering the Securities) under the Securities
Act in effect when it desires to sell the Securities, such Purchaser may be
required to hold the Securities for an indeterminate period. Such Purchaser also
understands that any sale of the Securities that might be made by the Purchaser
in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be made only in limited
amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule.
4.2 LEGENDS. Each certificate representing the Securities
may be endorsed with the following legends:
(a) FEDERAL LEGEND. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS DEFINED IN RULE 144
PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR
OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT (i) IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE ACT OR (ii) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR
(iii) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE, OFFER OR
DISTRIBUTION.
(b) OTHER LEGENDS. Any other legends required by
the Law or other applicable state blue sky laws.
The Company need not register a transfer of legended Securities, and may also
instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Securities,
unless the conditions specified in each of the foregoing legends are satisfied.
12
4.3 REMOVAL OF LEGEND AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Any legend
endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection 4.2(a) and the stop transfer
instructions with respect to such legended Securities shall be removed, and the
Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such
Securities if such Securities are registered and sold under the Securities Act
and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is
available or if such holder satisfies the requirements of Rule 144(k) and, where
reasonably deemed necessary by the Company, provides the Company with an opinion
of counsel for such holder of the Securities, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that (i) such holder, meets the requirements of Rule
144(k) or (ii) a public sale, transfer or assignment of such Securities may be
made without registration.
4.4 RULE 144. The Purchaser is aware of the adoption of Rule
144 by the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited
public resales of securities acquired in a nonpublic offering, subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. The Purchaser understands that under Rule
144, the conditions include, among other things: the availability of certain
current public information about the issuer and the resale occurring not less
than one year after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be
sold.
