NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED: (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (II) UNLESS THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION UNDER THE 1933 ACT.

Notwithstanding this, each Party desires to engage in the transaction contemplated hereunder. Each Party hereby waives any future claim that it or any of its Affiliates might have based on the failure by the other Party to disclose the Non-Public Information and expressly releases such other Party and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives from any and all liabilities arising from any failure on their part to disclose such Non-Public Information, and agrees to make no claim against such other Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives in respect of the transaction contemplated under this Agreement related to any failure on their part to disclose such Non-Public Information to it, except with respect to representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressly made by such other Party in this Agreement. Based on such information and investigation as each Party has deemed appropriate and without reliance upon any Non-Public Information that the other Party may have, each Party has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into the transaction contemplated hereunder. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the other Party expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Party is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including such professional advice as it deems appropriate) with respect to the transaction contemplated hereunder.
