ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


  


3.1     Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):


 





 










 








 


(a)     Authority. The Purchaser has the capacity and power to enter into and to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise carry out the obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the 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. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities law or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.


 


(c)     Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.


 


(d)     Experience and Financial Sophistication of the Purchaser. The 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 Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(e)     General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.


 


(f)     Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 


 





 










 








 


(g)     Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser first received a term sheet or oral description from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. The Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


(h)     Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the executions, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement.


 


(i)     No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. The Purchaser understands that nothing in the Company’s filings with the Commission, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.


 


ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1     Transfer Restrictions.


 


(a)     The Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge to an accredited investor as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act. In connection with any transfer of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or other applicable exemption, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide the Company with written representations providing reasonable assurance that the proposed transfer complies with the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemption. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall (i) agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) if the transfer is not made (A) in accordance with Rule 144, (B) pursuant to an effective registration statement or (C) in a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, make the representations set forth in Sections 3.2(b) and (c). If such conditions are satisfied, such transferee shall have the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement.


 





 










 








 


(b)     The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting or making, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend or electronic notation on any of the Shares in the following form:


 


THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, OR, IN THE CASE OF AN OFFER OR SALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AS EVIDENCED BY WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS PROVIDED BY THE TRANSFEROR, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, OF COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH RULE.


  


(c)     The Shares shall not contain any legend or electronic notation (including the legend or electronic notation set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iii) if such legend or electronic notation is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). Upon request by the Purchaser, following such time as a legend or electronic notation is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), the Company shall cause its counsel to issue an instruction letter to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend or electronic notation hereunder. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend or electronic notation is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the written request by the Purchaser to the Company to remove such restrictive legend or electronic notation from such Shares (which may be held in book-entry form only and not represented by a certificate at the time of such request) (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser Shares that are free from all restrictive and other legends or electronic notations by causing the Transfer Agent to credit the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.  


 





 










 








 


(d)     The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend or electronic notation from Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.


 


4.2     Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Form 8-K.  The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the filing of the Form 8-K, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in this Agreement.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.


 


5.12     Severability.
