4.7 Information.
The Holder has been provided with
information and materials concerning the subject matter of this
Agreement and the transactions provided for herein or contemplated
hereby. In addition, each such person has had access to the
Company's reports and information filed with the SEC (the "SEC
Documents"). The information and materials provided by the Company
and the SEC Documents are referred to herein as the "Disclosure
Materials." Each such person has carefully reviewed and is familiar
with all of the information contained in the Disclosure Materials.
Each such person has been given access to full and complete
information regarding the Company and has utilized such access to
such person's satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining such
information regarding the Company as such person has reasonably
requested; and, particularly, each such person has been given a
reasonable opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including the Conversion and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion and to obtain
any and all additional information related thereto, to the extent
reasonably available. Each such person has relied on nothing other
than the Disclosure Materials (including any exhibits thereto) in
deciding whether to execute this Agreement. Except as set forth in
the Disclosure Materials, no representations or warranties have
been made to any such person by the Company, any selling agent of
the Company, or any agent, employee, or affiliate of the Company or
such selling agent.
4
Each
such person, in reaching a decision to execute this Agreement, has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that such person is capable of reading and interpreting financial
statements and evaluating the merits and risks of the covenants,
representations and warranties contained herein and has the net
worth to undertake such risks.
4.8 Risk
Factors Applicable to the Holder. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder will be
subject to substantial risks as a result of the Conversion,
including the following:
4.8.1 The
Holder acknowledges that the Holder has certain rights as a holder
of the Bridge Note (“Bridge Note Rights"), including, without
limitation:
(i)
the
right to accrue and collect interest on the principal balance of
the Bridge Note; and
(ii)
upon
a default by the Company in its obligation to repay certain
indebtedness of the Company, the right to foreclose upon the assets
of the Company, compel a liquidation of those assets and collect
the proceeds from such liquidation senior to the holders of all
indebtedness of the Company subordinated to the Bridge Note and
preferred and common equity.
and, by agreeing to convert the Bridge Note into shares of Common
Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Holder
will lose the Holder’s Bridge Note Rights and will possess
only those rights of all other holders of Common Stock, including,
without limitation:
(i)
Voting Rights.
The holders of Common Stock are
entitled to one vote per share on all matters. The Common Stock
does not have cumulative voting rights.
(ii)
Dividends. Each share of Common Stock has an equal and
ratable right to receive dividends to be paid from the assets
legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board.
The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common
Stock in the foreseeable future.
(iii)
Liquidation.
In the event the Company is dissolved,
liquidated or wound up, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to
share equally and ratably in the assets available for distribution
after payments are made to the Company's creditors and to the
holders of any outstanding stock ranking senior to the Common
Stock, including any that the Company may designate and issue in
the future with liquidation preferences greater than those of the
Common Stock.
(iv)
Other. The holders of shares of Common Stock have no
preemptive, subscription or redemption rights and are not liable
for further calls or assessments. All of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock issued upon the Conversion will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
5
4.8.2 The
Holder has certain rights and preferences applicable to the Bridge
Note, including, without limitation, the right to convert the
Bridge Note into shares of Common Stock. By executing this
Agreement and converting the Bridge Note into shares of Common
Stock, the Holder will possess only the rights of a holder of
Common Stock.
4.8.3 Implementation
of this Agreement will result in the conversion of the Bridge Note
into a substantial number of shares of Common Stock. The public
trading market for the Common Stock is sporadic and highly
illiquid. Future sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock
in the public market, or the perception that such sales might
occur, could cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline
and could impair the value of an investment in the Common Stock and
the Company’s ability to raise equity capital in the
future.
This
Agreement will result in an immediate and substantial increase in
the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The
sale of some portion of this additional Common Stock by the holders
thereof, or even the appearance that such holders may make such
sales, may limit the market for the Common Stock or depress any
trading market volume and price before other investors are able to
sell any of their Common Stock. There is a substantial risk that
the Holder will not be able to sell any of the Holder’s
Common Stock in a timeframe and/or at prices that would permit the
recovery of the Holder’s investment.
5.
Miscellaneous.
5.1 Assurance
of Further Action. From time to
time after the Conversion, at the Company's expense, the Holder
shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered,

to consummate the Conversion and the other transactions
contemplated hereby.
