5.07Purchase and Sale of Stock. The Buyer and Sellers agree and understand that the consummation of this Agreement including the purchase, sale and exchange of the shares of Presto Stock and CBDS Stock as contemplated hereby, constitute the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes. The Buyer and Sellers agree such transactions shall be consummated in
-12-
reliance on exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes which depend, among other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are acquired.
(a)In connection therewith, the parties represent and warrant that:
(i)neither the SEC nor the securities commission of any state or other federal agency has made any determination as to the merits of acquiring the shares of Presto Stock or CBDS Stock, and that this transaction involves certain risks.
(ii)they have received and read the Agreement and understand the risks related to the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated.
(iii)they have such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating each business.
(iv)they have been provided with copies of all materials and information requested by them or their representatives, including any information requested to verify any information furnished (to the extent such information is available or can be obtained without unreasonable effort or expense), and the parties have been provided the opportunity for direct communication regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.
(v)all information which Sellers has provided to the Buyer or their representatives concerning their suitability and intent to hold shares in CBDS Stock following the transactions contemplated hereby is complete, accurate, and correct.
(vi)the shares of CBDS Stock to be acquired by the Sellers under the terms of this Agreement will be acquired for the Seller’s own account, for investment, and not with the present intention of resale or distribution of all or any part of the securities. Sellers agrees that it will refrain from transferring or otherwise disposing of any of the shares, or any interest therein, in such manner as to violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law regulating the disposition thereof.
(vii) the shares of Presto Stock to be acquired by the Buyer under the terms of this Agreement will be acquired for the Buyer’s own account, for investment, and not with the present intention of resale or distribution of all or any part of the securities. Buyer agrees that it will refrain from transferring or otherwise disposing of any of the shares, or any interest therein, in such manner as to violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law regulating the disposition thereof.
(viii) neither party has not offered or sold any securities of the other party, or any interest in this Agreement and have no present intention of dividing the shares to be received or the rights under this Agreement with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such stock or rights, either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.
(ix)the shares of Presto Stock and CBDS Stock have not been registered, but are being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the subject shares may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make a Seller an “underwriter,” within the meaning of the Securities
-13-
Act. It is understood that the definition of “underwriter” focuses upon the concept of “distribution” and that any subsequent disposition of the subject shares can only be effected in transactions which are not considered distributions. Generally, the term "distribution" is considered synonymous with “public offering” or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or general advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a distribution occurs when securities are sold into the public market, under certain circumstances one must consider the availability of public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell the securities without registration first bear the economic risk of their investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which the stockholder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale, thereby reducing the potential impact of the sale on the trading markets. These criteria are set forth specifically in rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(viii)the shares of CBDS Stock and Presto Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Buyer is not under any obligation to register the shares of CBDS Stock under the Securities Act, except as set forth in this Agreement. The Buyer is not under any obligation to make rule 144 available, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in writing in this Agreement, and in the event rule 144 is not available, or some other disclosure exemption may be required before a Seller can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such shares of CBDS Stock without registration under the Securities Act. The registrar and transfer agent for Buyer and Seller will maintain a stop transfer order against the registration or transfer of the shares of CBDS Stock and Presto Stock respectively, and the certificates representing the shares of such stock will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such securities:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(ix)The Buyer may refuse to register further transfers or resales of the shares of CBDS Stock in the absence of compliance with rule 144 unless a Seller furnish the Buyer with a “no-action” or interpretive letter from the SEC or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Buyer stating that the transfer is proper. Further, unless such letter or opinion states that the shares of CBDS Stock are free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, the Buyer may refuse to transfer the securities to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to the Buyer the same representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to such shares of CBDS Stock as set forth herein. The Buyer may also refuse to transfer the shares of CBDS Stock if any circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the transferee's representations are not accurate.
(b)In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer and Sellers shall each file, with the assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may be deemed by them to be necessary or
-14-
appropriate in an effort to document reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the states where Buyer reside unless an exemption requiring no filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.
(c)In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein, the Buyer and Sellers shall execute and deliver to the other, at or prior to the Closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment, suitability, or the like as the Buyer or Sellers (or their respective counsel) may reasonably request in connection with reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities laws including but not limited to an investment letter.
(d)The Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that the basis for relying on exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.
5.08No Representation Regarding Tax Treatment. No representation or warranty is being made by any party to any other regarding the treatment of this transaction for federal or state income taxation. Each party has relied exclusively on its own legal, accounting, and other tax adviser regarding the treatment of this transaction for federal and state income taxes and on no representation, warranty, or assurance from any other party or such other party's legal, accounting, or other adviser. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.08, the parties acknowledge the importance of Section 1.17 hereof concerning Qualified Small Business Stock and Buyer’s commitments under that Section.
5.09Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.02Indemnification By Company. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VI, the Company shall indemnify and defend CBDS against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, CBDS based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
