4.1.9 LD has had an opportunity to discuss PMI’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms of the conditions of the offering of the Shares with PMI’s management.
4.1.10 LD understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of LD’s representations as expressed herein. LD understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable United States federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, LD must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. LD acknowledges that PMI has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares. LD further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to PMI which are outside of LD’s control, and which PMI is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
4.1.11 LD understands that no public market now exists for the Shares, and that PMI has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares.
4.1.12 LD understands that the certificate representing Shares may bear any one or more of the following legends: (a) any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Agreements; (b) any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Shares represented by the certificate so legended; and (c) the following legend:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
4.1.13 LD is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. LD is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that LD 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 Shares.
4.1.14 Neither LD nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder (a) engaged in any general solicitation with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares, or (b) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
13
4.1.15 LD has read in their entirety and fully understands the risk factors set forth on Appendix A attached hereto (the “Risk Factors”). LD has decided to enter into this Agreement, and is purchasing the Shares, fully cognizant of the Risk Factors and is willing to assume the risk of making an investment in PMI, which includes without limitation the risk of loss of LD’s entire investment in the Shares.
4.1.16 LD acknowledges and agrees that except for the representations and warranties of PMI set forth in Section 4.2, PMI has not made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to PMI or as to any other matter, and LD is not relying upon any representation or warranty except for the representation and warranties set forth in Section 4.2. LD acknowledges and agrees that PMI has disclaimed any other representations and warranties made by PMI or by any officer, director, employee, agent, attorney or other representative of PMI with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to LD of any document or any other information with respect to one or more of the foregoing.
4.1.17 LD has conducted, directly or through its representatives, to the extent it deems sufficient, a review and analysis of the business, assets, liabilities, risks, regulatory issues, prospects of and other matters pertaining to PMI and acknowledges that it has been provided with such access to PMI as has been requested for such purposes. In entering into this Agreement, LD has relied solely upon the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2, any such investigation and analysis of PMI, and such other factors or considerations as LD has deemed appropriate and sufficient, and LD acknowledges and agrees that it has not been induced by and has not relied upon any representations, warranties or statements, whether express or implied, made by PMI or any other representative or agent of PMI that are not set forth in Section 4.2, whether or not such representations, warranties or statements were made in writing or orally.
4.2 As to PMI. PMI represents and warrants to LD that the statements contained in this Section 4.2 are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof and as of the Closing.
4.2.1 Authorization. PMI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. PMI has the full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement. All corporate actions or proceedings required to be taken by or on the part of PMI to authorize and permit the execution and delivery by PMI of this Agreement and to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement have been taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by PMI and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of PMI, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and to general principles of equity.
4.2.2 Noncontravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by PMI will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or default under the organizational documents of PMI, or (ii) violate any material legal requirement to which PMI or any of its assets or property is subject.
14
4.2.3 Consents. No Consents, Filings or Notices are required for PMI to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.2.4 Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of PMI, threatened against or involving any of PMI or its Affiliates that could adversely affect the ability of PMI to consummate the Closing or perform any obligations under this Agreement.
4.2.5 Capitalization. The authorized capital of PMI consists, immediately prior to the date hereof, of fifty million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), 5,640,817 shares of which are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. As of the date hereof, except for common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $3.00 per share to purchase 4,052,412 shares of common stock issued in connection with PMI’s financing, PMI has no stock options, warrants or stock rights or plans related to the same for officers, directors, employees or consultants of PMI and all of PMI’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully vested.
4.2.6 Valid Issuance of Shares. The Shares have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, other than the transfer restrictions described in this Agreement, transfer restrictions imposed by PMI’s bylaws, if any, and transfer restrictions imposed under state and federal securities laws. Assuming the accuracy and completeness of LD’s representations hereunder, the Shares were offered, issued and sold in compliance with all Federal and state securities law and were exempt from registration thereunder.
4.2.7 No Other Representations and Warranties. Except as expressly set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, PMI makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity with respect to this Agreement, or otherwise.
