2. BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each of the Buyers represents and warrants to the Selling Stockholders as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
a. Sophistication of Buyers. By reason of its business or financial experience and its due diligence, including the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and to talk with the members of the senior management of the Company, such Buyer is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Company and of protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.
b. Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
c. Investment Purpose. Such Buyer is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view toward, or for resale in connection with, the sale or distribution thereof; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold the Shares for any minimum or other specific term, and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.
2
d. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Selling Stockholders are relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Shares.
e. Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder or sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.
f. Legends. Such Buyer understands that the stock certificates (if any) representing the Shares, except as set forth below, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND BASED ON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
The legend set forth above shall not be removed in respect of the Shares and the Company’s transfer agent shall not issue a stock certificate without such legend to the holder thereof, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, unless (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the 1933 Act and such Shares have been sold in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that the Shares have been sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
