Securities Law Representations The Optionee acknowledges that the Options and the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act, based, in part, on either (i) reliance upon an exemption from registration under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the fact that the Optionee is an “accredited investor” (as defined under the Securities Act), and, in each of (i) and (ii) above, a comparable exemption from qualification under applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from time to time. The Optionee, by executing this Agreement, hereby makes the following representations to the Company and acknowledges that the Company’s reliance on federal and state securities law exemptions from registration and qualification is predicated, in substantial part, upon the accuracy of these representations: • The Optionee is acquiring the Options and, if and when the Optionee exercises the Options, will acquire the Shares solely for the Optionee’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution, all or any portion of the shares within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or any applicable state securities laws. • The Optionee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Options and the restrictions imposed on any Shares purchased upon exercise of the Options. The Optionee has been furnished with, and/or has access to, such information as he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to exercise the Options and purchase the Shares. However, in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, the Optionee has and will rely only upon the advice of his own legal counsel, tax advisors, and/or investment advisors. • The Optionee acknowledges that to the best of his knowledge the Option Price is not less than what the Board has determined to be the Fair Market Value of the Shares. • The Optionee is aware that the Options may be of no practical value, that any value it may have depends on its vesting and exercisability as well as an increase in the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares to an amount in excess of the Option Price, and that any investment in common shares of a private closely held corporation such as the Company is non-marketable, non-transferable and could require capital to be invested for an indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss. • The Optionee understands that any Shares acquired on exercise of the Options will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws, and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances, including in accordance with the conditions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect. The Optionee acknowledges receiving a copy of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and represents that he is familiar with such rule, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and the applicable state securities law. • The Optionee has read and understands the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Shareholders Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement. • The Optionee has not relied upon any oral representation made to the Optionee relating to the Options or the purchase of the Shares on exercise of some or all of the Options or upon information presented in any promotional meeting or material relating to the Options or the Shares. • The Optionee understands and acknowledges that, if and when he exercises the Options, (a) any certificate evidencing the Shares (or evidencing any other securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, merger or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws, and (b) except as otherwise provided under the Shareholders Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register the Shares or file any registration statement under federal or state securities laws.
Subsequent Delivery of Legal Opinions Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than by (i) a Pricing Supplement, (ii) an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates of the Notes or a change in the principal amount of Notes remaining to be sold or similar changes or (iii) an amendment or supplement that relates exclusively to an offering of securities other than the Notes) or there is filed with the SEC any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (other than (x) any Current Report on Form 8-K relating exclusively to the issuance of securities other than the Notes or (y) unless reasonably requested by any Agent, any Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company under Items 5.02, 5.03, 5.04 or 5.05 thereof) or, if so indicated in the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company sells Notes to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agents and counsel to the Agents a written opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., Senior Counsel to the Bank, or other counsel satisfactory to the Agents, dated the date of delivery of such opinion, in form satisfactory to the Agents, of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 5(a)(1) hereof, and such other opinions provided for in Section 5(a) hereof as the Agents may request, but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion and to the General Disclosure Package if in connection with a sale of Notes pursuant to a Terms Agreement, or, in lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such opinion to the Agents shall furnish the Agents with a letter to the effect that the Agents may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion, shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance and to the General Disclosure Package if in connection with a sale of Notes pursuant to a Terms Agreement); provided, however, that if the Agents shall have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Notes in their capacity as agents pursuant to a request from the Company pursuant to Section 4(l) hereof, and the Agents shall not hold any Notes as principal, the Company shall not be obligated so to furnish the Agents with an opinion or opinions until such time as the Company shall determine that the solicitation of purchases of the Notes should be resumed or shall subsequently enter into a new Terms Agreement with an Agent.
