|
2.4
|
The Purchaser
represents the following:
|
(a)
|
Sophistication of
Purchaser. The Purchaser either (i) has a preexisting
personal or business relationship with the Issuer or its controlling
persons, such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware
of the character and general business and financial circumstances of the
Issuer or its controlling persons, or (ii) by reason of the Purchaser's
business or financial experience, individually or in conjunction with the
Purchaser's unaffiliated professional advisors, who are not compensated by
the Issuer or any affiliate or selling agent of the Issuer, directly or
indirectly, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Shares, making an informed investment decision and protecting the
Purchaser's own interests
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
|
(b)
|
Suitability. The
Purchaser understands and has fully considered for the purposes of this
investment the risks of an investment in the Shares and understands that:
(i) this investment is suitable only for a Purchaser who is able to bear
the economic consequences of losing his or her entire investment; (ii) the
Issuer is a start-up enterprise with no significant operating history;
(iii) the purchase of the Shares is a speculative investment which
involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Purchaser's entire
investment, and (iv) there are substantial restrictions on the
transferability of, and there may not be a public market for, the Shares,
and accordingly, it may not be possible for the Purchaser to liquidate the
his or her investment in the
Shares.
|
(c)
|
Lack of
Liquidity. The Purchaser is able to: (i) bear the
economic risk of this investment, (ii) hold the Shares for an indefinite
period of time, and (iii) afford a complete loss of his or her investment;
and represents that the he or she has sufficient liquid assets so that the
lack of liquidity associated with this investment will not cause any undue
financial difficulties or affect his or her ability to provide for current
needs and possible financial
contingencies.
|
(d)
|
Investment
Information. The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Offering Documents contain the views of the
management of the Issuer, and that any analysis of the market or of the
Issuer’s strategy contained therein represents a subjective assessment
about which reasonable persons could
disagree.
|
(e)
|
Access to
Information. The Purchaser, in making his or her decision to
purchase the Shares, has relied solely upon independent investigations
made by the Purchaser and the representations and warranties of the Issuer
contained in this Agreement and the Purchaser has been given (i) access to
all material books and records of the Issuer; (ii) access to all material
contracts and documents relating to this offering; and (iii) an
opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the
