Section 4. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholders. Each Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a)          Each Shareholder has all requisite power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform such Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement. None of the execution, delivery or performance by such Shareholder of this Agreement shall conflict with or violate any agreement, document, instrument or certificate to which such Shareholder is a party or by which such Shareholder is bound. None of the execution, delivery or performance by such Shareholder of this Agreement shall require the consent of, a waiver by or notification to any third party that has not been obtained or given.

 

(b)          Each Shareholder has good and valid title to the Contributed Shares, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of all others whomsoever.

 

(c)          Each Shareholder understands that the Exchanged Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Exchanged Units or an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, the Exchanged Units must be held indefinitely. In particular, each Shareholder is aware that the Exchanged Units may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met.

Each of the Company’s affiliates is a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement (other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
