5. Representations and Warranties of Purchasers. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Genesee as follows:
5.1 Investment and Related Representations.
5.1.1 Shares and Note as “Restricted” Securities. Purchaser is aware that neither the Shares nor the Note nor the offer or sale thereof to the Purchaser have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or under any foreign or state securities law. Purchaser further understands that no registration statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), nor with any other U.S. or foreign regulatory authority and that, as a result, any benefit which might normally accrue to an investor such as the Purchaser by an impartial review of such a registration statement by the SEC or other regulatory commission will not be forthcoming. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares and the Note are being offered pursuant to certain exemptions from Section 5 of the Securities Act for offers and sale of securities not involving an issuer, underwriter or dealer. Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Note are “restricted” securities under U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from an affiliate of the issuer and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser represents that he is familiar in general with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which provides generally for a one year holding period and limitations on the amount of “restricted” securities that can be sold in compliance with the rule upon completion of the holding period), and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that each certificate representing the Shares and any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event (unless no longer required in the opinion of counsel for ESNG) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends substantially in the following forms (in addition to any legend that may now or hereafter be required by applicable state law):
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES, OR
6
DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNLESS SOLD IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.”
Purchaser agrees that he will not sell any portion of Shares or the Note except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that ESNG shall refuse to transfer the Shares and the Note except in accordance with the restrictions and agreements of Purchaser set forth in this Section 5.1.
5.1.2 Investment Representation. The Shares and the Note are being acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement for investment and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or exemption under the Securities Act.
5.1.3 No Public Solicitation. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Note after private negotiation and has not been attracted to the acquisition of the Shares by any press release, advertising or publication.
5.1.4 Investor Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Purchaser acknowledges that he is able to protect his interests in connection with the acquisition of the Shares and the Note and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a material adverse change in Purchaser’s financial condition. Purchaser otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares and the Note.
5.3 No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Purchaser with any of the provisions hereof, will (a) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser or his property may be bound or (b) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser.
5.4 Governmental Consents. All consents, approvals, orders, authorizations or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with any U.S., federal or state governmental authority on the part of Purchaser required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall have been obtained prior to and be effective as of the Closing, except that Purchaser shall be required to file with the SEC following the Closing a Schedule 13D and such other documents as may be required by the Exchange Act.
5.5 Third Party Consents. All third party consents, approvals, orders or authorizations required to be obtained by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been obtained.
7
6. Indemnification. Each of Genesee and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other and each of the other’s affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, penalties, liabilities and deficiencies, and agrees to reimburse the other for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the other, to the extent arising out of or in connection with (a) any material misrepresentation or material breach of any of the other’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (b) any failure by the other to perform any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement, or (c) any operations of ESNG or transactions involving ESNG or any Subsidiary (including PHYTOpharmaceuticals, Inc.) occurring (i) in the case of the indemnification by Genesee, prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) in the case of the indemnification by Purchaser, on or after the Closing Date.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1 Cumulative Remedies. Subject to Section 6, any person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement, and to exercise all other rights granted by law, which rights may be exercised cumulative and not alternatively.
7.2 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not.
7.3 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or the other documents.
7.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts when taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.
7.5 Notices. Any approvals, consents or notices required or permitted to be sent or given shall be delivered in writing personally or mailed, certified mail, return receipt requested, to the following addresses and shall be deemed to have been received within five days after such mailing:
