As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

12
 

 

(h)          Absence of Certain Changes. Since September 30, 2014, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or Exchange Act reporting status of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(i)          Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

Since September 30, 2014, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(k)          Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature.

(a)          Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)          Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to distribution or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts any Note it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

 

14
 

 

(d)          Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(e)          Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has been offered the opportunity to obtain information, to verify the accuracy of the information received by Purchaser, to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment and to ask questions and receive satisfactory answers concerning the terms and conditions of this investment.

Purchaser has received and has carefully read and considered the Use of Proceeds, and the Company’s filings with the SEC for at least the last twelve months. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) received from the Company, its officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, employees or representatives, except information set forth in this Agreement, the Use of Proceeds or information that is filed with the SEC or obtained from the Company in order to verify such information.

 

(f)           Purchaser understands that its purchase of the Securities may have tax consequences and that Purchaser must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Securities. Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Securities, and Purchaser confirms that it has been afforded the opportunity to consult with its business, tax and/or legal counsel in making such decision and has availed itself of that opportunity to the extent deemed advisable by Purchaser.

 

(g)            The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any of Purchaser’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, if applicable, or any agreement to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(h)          No consent from any other person is required in order for Purchaser to execute this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, or such consent has been obtained and a copy has been provided to the Company.

(j)          Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and contained in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire accompanying this Agreement do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. Purchaser understands that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties and agreements of Purchaser set forth herein and therein in making its determination that the sale of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws.

 

15
 

 

(k)          Purchaser is not subscribing for the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or general meeting.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
