(ix) | Purchase Entirely for Own Account |
This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Seller, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Sale Shares to be received by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Sale Shares.
