1. Authorization.

Such Purchaser has full power, authority and legal capacity to enter into, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is a party, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of a specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, or (ii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Shareholders Agreement may be limited by applicable securities laws.

 

2. Compliance with other Instruments.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchasers of the Transaction Documents does not and will not contravene, breach or violate the terms of any agreement, document or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which any of such Purchaser’s assets or properties are bound.

 

3. Disclosure of Information.

Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Group Companies’ business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Purchased Shares with the Group Companies’ management and has had an opportunity to review the Group Companies’ facilities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Warrantor in Section 4 of this Agreement, or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon save as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule.

 

4. Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

The Purchased Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Purchased Shares.

 

5. Reliance Upon Purchasers’ Representations.

The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares are not registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that the Company’s reliance on any such exemption is predicated on the Purchaser’s representations set forth herein.

 

   55


6. Receipt of Information.

The Purchaser believes that it has received all material information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Purchased Shares. The Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Purchased Shares and the business, properties and financial condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to the Purchaser or to which the Purchaser had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify in any way the representations and warranties of the Warrantors in Section 4 of this Agreement, or the right of the Purchaser to rely thereon.

 

7. Investment Experience.

The Purchaser represents that it is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development to that of the Company and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Purchased Shares. The Purchaser also represents that such Purchaser has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares.

 

8. Accredited Purchaser. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as presently in effect, under the Securities Act.

 

9. Restricted Securities.

The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares may be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in the United States without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Purchased Shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, the Purchaser is aware that the Purchased Shares may not be sold within the United States pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144 may be the availability of current information to the public about the Company. The Purchaser understands that such information is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make such information available.
