8.2 | Certain Risk. Each GEDG Member recognizes that the purchase of the Acquisition Shares involves a high degree of risk in that (a) GEG has, sustained losses from its operations from its inception on February 19, 1988, and does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs, and accordingly, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going |
22
concern; (b) GEG has a substantial accumulated deficit; (c) an investment in the GEG
is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in GEG and the Acquisition Shares; (d) an
investor may not be able to liquidate his investment; (e) in the event of a
disposition an investor could sustain the loss of his entire investment; (f) no
return on investment, whether through distributions, appreciation, transferability
or otherwise, and no performance by, through or of GEG, has been promised, assured,
represented or warranted, whether in writing or orally, by GEG, or by any director,
officer, employee, agent or representative thereof; and, (g) while the Common Stock
is presently quoted and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Acquisition Shares are
not registered under applicable federal (U.S.) or state securities laws, and thus
may not be sold, conveyed, assigned or transferred unless registered under such laws
or unless an exemption from registration is available under such laws, as more fully
described herein, and (h) there is no assurance that the GEG Common Shares will
continue to be quoted or traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or on any other organized
market or quotation system.
8.3 | Prior Investment Experience. Each GEDG Member acknowledges that it has prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by GEG to them and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on their behalf, and that they recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment. | ||
8.4 | Public Market. Each GEDG Member understands that although there is presently a public market for the Common Stock, Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the 1933 Act requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period following full payment of the consideration therefor prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a nonpublic offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the 1933 Act. | ||
8.5 | Sophisticated Investor. Each GEDG Member represents and warrants that (a) the GEDG Member has adequate means of providing for the GEDG Member’s current financial needs and possible contingencies and have no need for liquidity of the GEDG Member’s investment in the Acquisition Shares; (b) the GEDG Member is able to bear the economic risks inherent in an investment in the Acquisition Shares and that an important consideration bearing on their ability to bear the economic risk of the purchase of Acquisition Shares is whether the GEDG Member can afford a complete loss of the GEDG Member’s investment in the Acquisition Shares, and the GEDG Member represents and warrants that the GEDG Member can afford such a complete loss; and (c) the GEDG Member has such knowledge and experience in business, financial, investment and banking matters (including, but not limited to, investments in restricted, non-listed and non-registered securities) that the GEDG Member is capable of evaluating the merits, risks and advisability of an investment in the Acquisition Shares. |
23
8.6 | Accredited Investor. Each GEDG Member represents, severally and not jointly, that the GEDG Member is an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 0000 Xxx) and by reason of the GEDG Member’s business and financial experience, the GEDG Member has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. | ||
8.7 | Tax Consequences. Each GEDG Member acknowledges that GEG has made no representation regarding the potential or actual tax consequences for the GEDG Member that will result from entering into the Agreement and from consummation of the purchase of the Acquisition Shares. Each GEDG Member acknowledges each GEDG Member bears complete responsibility for obtaining adequate tax advice regarding this Agreement and the purchase of the Acquisition Shares. | ||
8.8 | SEC Filing. Each GEDG Member acknowledges that the GEDG Member has been previously furnished with true and complete copies of the SEC Reports. | ||
8.9 | Documents, Information and Access. Each GEDG Member’s decision to purchase the Acquisition Shares is not based on any promotional, marketing or sales materials, and the GEDG Member and its representatives have been afforded, prior to purchase thereof, the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, GEG and its management, and has had access to all documents and information known to the GEDG Member that the GEDG Member deems material to an investment decision with respect to the purchase of the Acquisition Shares hereunder. | ||
8.10 | No Registration, Review or Approval. The GEDG Member acknowledges and understands that the offering and sale of securities pursuant to this Agreement has not been reviewed or approved by the SEC or by any state securities commission, authority or agency, and is not registered under the 1933 Act. Each GEDG Member acknowledges, understands and agrees that the Acquisition Shares are being offered hereunder pursuant to a private placement exemption to the registration provisions of the 1933 Act pursuant to (a) Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act and (b) a similar exemption to the registration provisions of applicable state securities laws. | ||
8.11 | Transfer Restrictions. Each GEDG Member will not transfer any Acquisition Shares purchased under this Agreement unless such are registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (collectively, “Securities Laws”), or unless an exemption is available under such Securities Laws, and GEG may, if it chooses, where an exemption from registration is claimed by such GEDG Member, condition any transfer of Acquisition Shares out of the GEDG Member’s name on receipt of an opinion of the GEG’s counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer is being effected in accordance with, and does not violate, |
24
an applicable exemption from registration under the applicable securities laws, or
an opinion of counsel to the GEDG Member, acceptable to GEG, to the effect that
registration under the 1933 Act is not required in connection with such sale or
transfer and the reasons therefor.
