Neither the Underwriter nor its agents shall be violating the undersigned’s right of privacy in any manner in requesting and obtaining the Information or in otherwise performing a background check, and the undersigned hereby releases them from liability for any damage whatsoever in that connection.
The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Underwriter and the Company will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein in proceeding with the IPO.
