The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties. |
2. | Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that: |
a. | The Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Buyer, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law). |
b. | The Buyer acknowledges its understanding that the offering and sale of the Series A Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares (such shares of common stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Series A Shares, the “Securities”) is intended to be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, by virtue of Rule 506(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In furtherance thereof, the Buyer represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows: |
i. The Buyer realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Buyer’s representations contained herein, the Buyer is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Buyer does not have any such intention.
ii. The Buyer realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the 1933 Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the 0000 Xxx.
iii. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities solely for the Buyer’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.
iv. The Buyer has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Buyer’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
v. The Buyer and the Buyer’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. The Buyer also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
vii. The Buyer (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Buyer, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
c. | The Buyer is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Buyer has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. |
d. | The Buyer has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Buyer’s entire investment. Among other things, the Buyer has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC filings. |
e. | The Buyer will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Buyer must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Buyer is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144, and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all conditions of Rule 144 are met or until the Securities are registered. The Buyer understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement. |
f. | The Buyer and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Buyer and its Advisors, if any. |
g. | The Buyer represents and warrants that: (i) the Buyer was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Buyer had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship; and (ii) no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Buyer did not: (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising; or (C) observe any website or filing of the Company with the SEC in which any offering of securities by the Company was described and as a result learned of any offering of securities by the Company. |
h. | The Buyer has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. |
i. | The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. |
j. | Legends. The Buyer understands that until such time as the Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form: |
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
k. | The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), it will be considered an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). |
