(c) At the time of execution of this Agreement, Seller is not in possession of any material inside information of the Company.
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in a breach by the Seller of, or constitute a default by the Seller under, any agreement, instrument, decree, judgment or order to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller may be bound.
(e) By reason of the Seller’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Seller’s professional advisers who are unaffiliated with the Company and who are not compensated by the Company, the Seller has the capacity to protect the Seller’s own interests in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Company.

(h) The Seller has had an opportunity to review with the Seller’s tax advisers the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the Repurchase and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller is relying solely on such advisers and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
