News
Corp
hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Organization.
News
Corp is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as
the
case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its formation, and has the requisite corporate power and authority

reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and
remedies.
4
(c) Investment
Representations.
(i) News
Corp
is an “accredited investor”, as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act, and has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
financial and business matters that News Corp is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.
(ii) News
Corp
(i) has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and possible
contingencies, and has no need for liquidity of investment in the Company,
(ii)
can afford to hold unregistered Shares for an indefinite period of time and
sustain a complete loss of the entire amount of the subscription, and (iii)
has
not made an overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable
that is so disproportionate as to cause such overall commitment to become
excessive.
(iii) News
Corp
agrees and understands that the Shares are being issued to News Corp in reliance
upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and that, in order
to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of News Corp
to acquire the Shares, the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of
News Corp’s representations and warranties, and compliance with News Corp’s
covenants and agreements, set forth in this Agreement. News Corp hereby
acknowledges that the offering of the Shares has not been reviewed by the SEC
or
any state regulatory authority since the offering of the Shares is intended
to
be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act
pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder. News Corp understands that
the
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and agrees not to
sell
or otherwise transfer the Shares unless they are registered under the Securities
Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
(iv) The
Shares are being acquired by News Corp for its own account, for investment
purposes only, not for the account of any other person, or corporation and
not
with a view to distribution, assignment or resale to others in whole or in
part.
News Corp has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in,
or
otherwise distributing the Shares. News Corp does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any of the
Shares. Nothing herein shall prevent the distribution of any Shares to any
subsidiary, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate or former member, partner,
stockholder or affiliate of News Corp in compliance with the Securities Act
and
applicable state “blue sky” laws.
(v) News
Corp
has had access to the Company’s SEC Documents and other public
filings.
5
(vi) With
respect to corporate tax and other economic considerations involved in an
investment in the Shares, News Corp is not relying on the Company. News Corp
has
carefully considered and has, to the extent News Corp believes such discussion
necessary, discussed with its professional legal, tax, accounting and financial
advisors the suitability of an investment in the Shares for its particular
tax
and financial situation and has determined that the Shares are a suitable
investment for News Corp.
(vii) The
Company has made available to News Corp all documents and information that
News
Corp has requested relating to an investment in the Shares.
(viii) News
Corp
has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Shares.
(d) Restricted
Securities.
(i) News
Corp understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act, and will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer any of Shares unless (i) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, (ii) such holder provides the Company with
an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Company, to the effect that a sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may
be
made without registration under the Securities Act and the transferee agrees
to
be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) such holder
provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and
broker representation letters) that the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule
144
promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule
144”)
or
(iv) pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act following
the applicable holding period.
(e) Legend.
News
Corp agrees that the certificates for the Shares shall bear the following legend
and that News Corp will comply with the restrictions on transfer set forth
in
such legend:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR
TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY.
6
(f) Disclosure.
No
representation or warranty by News Corp contained in this Agreement or any
Schedule or Exhibit hereto contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or
omits or will omit to state any material fact which is necessary in order to
make the statements contained herein or therein, not misleading in light of
the
circumstances in which they were made. There is no fact known to News Corp
relating to the business, affairs, operations, condition or prospects of News
Corp which materially adversely affects any representation or warranty by News
Corp contained in this Agreement or any Schedule or Exhibit hereto and which
has
not been disclosed to the Company by News Corp.
4. Registration
Rights.
(a) If
the
Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act,
whether as a result of an offering for its own account or the account of others
(but excluding any registrations to be effected for Forms S-4 or S-8 or other
applicable successor Forms) on a Registration Statement, the Company shall,
each
such time, give to News Corp twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of its
intent to do so, and such notice shall describe the proposed registration and
shall offer News Corp the opportunity to include in such Registration Statement
such number of the Shares as News Corp may request. Upon the written request
of
News Corp given to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of
any
such notice by the Company, the Company shall include in such Registration
Statement all or part of the Shares, to the extent requested to be registered,
subject to clause (ii) below. Such notice shall be given and such request may
be
made by News Corp prior to the release of the Escrow Shares or issuance of
Additional Shares if such release or issuance is expected to occur prior to
the
offering contemplated by such Registration Statement.
(b) If
a
registration pursuant to this Section 4 involves an underwritten offering and
the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing that, in its
opinion, the number of shares of Common Stock requested by News Corp to be
included in such registration is likely to materially and adversely affect
the
success of the offering or the price that would be received for any shares
of
Common Stock included in such offering, then, notwithstanding anything in this
Section 4 to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to include in
such
registration, to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock which the
Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, (A) first, any shares of
Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration for the account of
the
Company, and (B) second, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to
be
included in such registration for the account of any stockholders of the Company
(including News Corp), pro rata among such stockholders on the basis of the
number of shares of Common Stock that each of them has requested to be included
in such registration.
7
(c) In
connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares, the Company
shall not be required under this Section 4 or otherwise to include the Shares
of
News Corp therein unless News Corp accepts and agrees to the terms of the
underwriting, which shall be reasonable and customary, as agreed upon between
the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company.

following the execution of this Agreement, the Company may issue a mutually
