3.2 Resale of Scanvec Shares. Buyer will not sell or otherwise transfer the Purchased Scanvec Shares, or any part thereof or interest therein, unless and until, at the time of such transfer, the Purchased Scanvec Shares are (a) registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act or (b) such sale is otherwise exempt from such registration. Buyer acknowledges that only the Company has the power to register such transfer, but that the Company has no obligation to Buyer, by contract or otherwise, to effect such a registration for Buyer.

3.3 Information. Buyer, in conjunction with its advisers (if any), has determined that the acquisition of the Purchased Scanvec Shares is suitable for Buyer. In making its investment decision relative to the Purchased Scanvec Shares, Buyer has relied, is relying and will rely upon only its own investigation and analysis of such public information regarding the Company (including the results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects of the Company) as Buyer considers material. Buyer further acknowledges that it has prior knowledge and experience investing in securities of companies with businesses similar to that of the Company.
