Navios Maritime Partners L.P., a Xxxxxxxx Islands limited partnership (the “Partnership”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to you, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (the “Investor”), an aggregate of 500,000 common units (the “Investor Units”) representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”).
This is to confirm the agreement between the Partnership and the Investor concerning the purchase of the Investor Units from the Partnership by the Investor.
1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
(a) The Partnership, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Investor that:
(i) The Partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under the Xxxxxxxx Islands Limited Partnership Act (the “Xxxxxxxx Islands LP Act”) with full partnership power and authority necessary to enter into this Agreement.
(ii) As of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3), the Investor Units, and the limited partner interests represented thereby, will be duly authorized by the Partnership’s Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by matters described in Section 41 of the Xxxxxxxx Islands LP Act).
(iii) The Partnership has all requisite power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Investor Units, in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Partnership.
(b) The Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Partnership that:
(i) Investor is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the investment by the Investor in the Partnership is for her own account and not for the account of others, for investment purposes. The Investor Units are being acquired for her own account, for investment and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Investor Units or any portion thereof or interest therein in any transaction which would be a violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any state or foreign country or jurisdiction; and
(ii) Investor acknowledges and agrees that she has been provided, to her full satisfaction, with the opportunity to ask questions concerning the terms and conditions of an investment in the Partnership and has knowingly and voluntarily elected instead to rely solely on her own investigation. Other than the representations and warranties in Section 1(a), Investor has not relied upon any representation or warranty of any kind by the Partnership or any of its affiliates regarding the interests in Partnership or the business to be conducted thereby.
(iii) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, that the Investor Units purchased by the Investor hereunder may not be sold or transferred or offered for sale or transfer by her without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws or the availability of exemptions therefrom, and that the Partnership has no present intention of registering the resale of any of such Investor Units other than as contemplated by the Partnership Agreement. The Investor understands that any Transfer Agent of the Partnership will be issued stop-transfer restrictions with respect to the Investor Units purchased by the Investor hereunder unless such transfer is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
(iv) The Investor has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Investor Units, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Investor Units and, at the present time and in the foreseeable future, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(v) The Investor understands that the Investor Units are being offered and sold to the Investor in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Partnership is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings, which are true, correct and complete, of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Investor Units.
2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Partnership agrees to sell to the Investor, and the Investor hereby agrees to purchase from the Partnership, at a purchase price of $______ per unit, 500,000 Investor Units.
