ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF THE TMSF
STOCKHOLDERS
Each TMSF Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows:
1. Authorization; Binding Effect. The TMSF Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to (i) enter into this Agreement, (ii) to transfer the TMSF shares and (iii) to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
2. Ownership of TMSF Shares. The TMSF Stockholder owns the TMSF shares, as set forth next to such TMSF Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto, beneficially and of record, free and clear of all Liens.

3. Securities Representations. The TMSF Stockholder hereby acknowledges the following:
(i) The Corporation shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) (the “Securities Act”), nor qualified under the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, (ii) the Corporation shares cannot be resold unless they subsequently are registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, unless the Corporation determines that exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available, and (iii) such TMSF Stockholder has no right to require such registration or qualification;
(ii) The Corporation shares to be acquired by the TMSF Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for such TMSF Stockholder’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Corporation shares will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws;
(iii) The TMSF Stockholder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(iv) The TMSF Stockholder has carefully reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, an investment in the Corporation shares;
(v) The TMSF Stockholder understands that its investment in the Corporation shares is subject to significant economic risk, including the relative illiquidity resulting from the fact that the Corporation shares (i) have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or they are sold pursuant to an exemption from such registration, and (ii) are subject to additional restrictions as provided herein. Such TMSF Stockholder is able to bear such economic risk of the investment in the Corporation shares for an indefinite period of time;
