2. Representations by Participant. In consideration of the Company’s acceptance of the Subscription, Participant makes the following representations and warranties to the Company and to its principals, jointly and severally, which warranties and representations shall survive any acceptance of the Subscription by the Company:
(a) Prior to the time of purchase of any Shares, Participant received a copy of the Amended Certificate and the Certificate of Designation. Participant has reviewed the Amended Certificate and the Certificate of Designation, and Participant has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive any additional information from persons acting on behalf of the Company to verify Participant’s understanding of the terms thereof and of the Company’s business and status thereof, and such questions, if any, have been answered to the satisfaction of the Participant. Participant acknowledges that no officer, director, broker-dealer, placement agent, finder or other person affiliated with the Company has given Participant any information or made any representations, oral or written, other than as provided in the Amended Certificate and the Certificate of Designation, on which Participant has relied upon in deciding to invest in the Shares, including without limitation, any information with respect to future acquisitions, mergers or operations of the Company or the economic returns which may accrue as a result of the purchase of the Shares.
(b) Participant acknowledges that Participant has not seen, received, been presented with, or been solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, newspaper or magazine article or advertisement, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of advertising or general solicitation with respect to the Shares.
(c) The Shares are being purchased for Participant’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. No other person or entity will have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in, or right to, the Shares.

(d) Participant acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or qualified under Delaware securities law, or any other applicable blue sky laws, in reliance, in part, on Participant’s representations, warranties and agreements made herein.
(e) Participant represents, warrants and agrees that the Company and the officers of the Company (the “Company’s Officers”) are under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares under the Securities Act or under any state securities law, or to assist the undersigned in complying with any exemption from registration and qualification.
(f) Participant represents that Participant meets the criteria for participation because: (i) Participant has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with the Company or one or more of its partners, officers, directors or controlling persons; or (ii) by reason of Participant’s business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of its financial advisors who are unaffiliated with, and are not compensated, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, Participant is capable of evaluating the risk and merits of an investment in the Shares and of protecting its own interests.
(g) Participant represents that Participant is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and Participant has executed the Certificate of Accredited Investor Status, attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(h) Participant understands that the Shares are illiquid, and until registered with the Securities Exchange Commission, or an exemption from registration becomes available, cannot be readily sold as there will not be a public market for them, and that Participant may not be able to sell or dispose of the Shares, or to utilize the Shares as collateral for a loan. Participant must not purchase the Shares unless Participant has liquid assets sufficient to assure Participant that such purchase will cause it no undue financial difficulties, and that Participant can still provide for current and possible personal contingencies, and that the commitment herein for the Shares, combined with other investments of Participant, is reasonable in relation to its net worth.
(i) Participant understands that the right to transfer the Shares will be restricted unless the transfer is not in violation of the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws (including investment suitability standards), that the Company will not consent to a transfer of the Shares unless the transferee represents that such transferee meets the financial suitability standards required of an initial participant, and that the Company has the right, in its absolute discretion, to refuse to consent to such transfer.
(j) Participant has been advised to consult with its own attorney or attorneys regarding all legal matters concerning an investment in the Company and the tax consequences of purchasing the Shares, and has done so, to the extent Participant considers necessary.
(k) Participant acknowledges that the tax consequences of investing in the Company will depend on particular circumstances, and neither the Company, the Company’s officers, any other investors, nor the partners, shareholders, members, directors, agents, officers, directors, employees, affiliates or consultants of any of them, will be responsible or liable for the tax consequences to Participant of an investment in the Company. Participant will look solely to and rely upon its own advisers with respect to the tax consequences of this investment.

(m) Participant is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Shares and Participant has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of Participant’s entire investment in the Company without economic hardship if such a loss should occur.
(l) Each certificate or instrument representing securities issuable pursuant to this Agreement, if any, will be endorsed with the following legend:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES WHICH IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.
