2.2. Holder
hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) The
Conversion Shares are being purchased by the Holder and not by any other person,
with the Holder’s own funds and not with the funds of any other person, and for
the account of the Holder, not as a nominee or agent and not for the account of
any other person. On acceptance of this Agreement by the Company, no
other person will have any interest, beneficial or otherwise, in the Conversion
Shares. The Holder is not obligated to transfer Conversion Shares to
any other person nor does the Holder have any agreement or understanding to do
so. The Holder is purchasing the Conversion Shares for investment for
an indefinite period not with a present view to the sale or distribution of any
part or all thereof by public or private sale or other
disposition. The Holder has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing or disposing of any the
Conversion Shares. The Holder does not intend to subdivide the
Holder’s purchase of the Conversion Shares with any person.
(b) The
Holder has been advised that the Conversion Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or qualified under the
securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution
or public offering of the Conversion Shares is to be effected and the Conversion
Shares will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does
not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(2) of the Act
under the respective rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and any applicable state blue sky authority. The Holder
understands that the Company is relying in part on the Holder’s representations
as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis
for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Holder’s
representations, the Holder has in mind merely acquiring the Conversion Shares
for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined
event. The Holder has no such intention.
(c) The
Holder, either alone or with the Holder’s professional advisers (i) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Conversion
Shares; and (ii) has the capacity to protect the Holder’s own interests in
connection with the Holder’s proposed investment in the Conversion
Shares.
(d) The
Holder acknowledges that the Holder is familiar with the Company, the directors
and officers of the Company, and the business and proposed business of the
Company to the extent that the Holder considers necessary in connection with the
Holder’s investment in the Conversion Shares. The Holder
understands:
|
|
(i)
|
The
risks involved in this offering, including the speculative nature of the
investment;
|
Page 4 of
11
|
|
(ii)
|
The
financial hazards involved in this offering, including the risk of losing
the Holder’s entire investment;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
The
lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Conversion Shares;
and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
The
tax consequences of this
investment.
|
The
Holder has consulted with the Holder’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment
and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the
Holder in the Conversion Shares and the merits and risks of an investment in the
Conversion Shares.
(e) Understanding
that the investment in the Conversion Shares is highly speculative, the Holder
is able to bear the economic risk of such investment.
(f) The
Holder, if not an individual, is empowered and duly authorized to enter into
this Agreement under any governing document, partnership agreement, trust
instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision
or the like; this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the
Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms; and the
person signing this Agreement on behalf of the Holder is empowered and duly
authorized to do so by the governing document or trust instrument, pension plan,
charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision, board of directors or
stockholder resolution, or the like.
(g) The
Holder is not subject to backup withholding because (i) the Holder has not been
notified that he or she is subject to backup withholding as a result of a
failure to report all interest and dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue
Service has notified the Holder that he or she is not longer subject to backup
withholding.
(h) The
Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is an offer by the
Holder to purchase the Conversion Shares, which offer may be accepted or
declined by the Company. The Holder hereby further acknowledges that
this Agreement does not constitute an offer by the Company to sell securities or
a solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
