By executing this Agreement, Investor hereby further represents that Investor 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 Securities.
3.4 Reliance upon Investor’s Representations. Investor understands that the Note is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act").· Investor hereby acknowledges that the Note has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") because of Company's representations that this is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as wen as under exemptions provided for in state laws. Investor represents that the Note is being purchased for his/ her/its own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others. Investor agrees that he or she will not transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Note unless it is registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
| 5 |
3.5 Investment. Investor acknowledges this purchase of the Note is suitable only for highly sophisticated "accredited investors" (as defined below) and that the Company has no independently audited financial statements and full and complete disclosure concerning its financial condition cannot therefore be made. The Company is an early development stage company and has no significant revenues or earnings to date. The purchase of the Note involves a high degree of risk and only investors who can withstand a complete loss of their investment should consider investing in the Company. In this regard, Investor represents that Investor is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development and acknowledges that Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of Investor's investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Note. In furtherance of Investor's due diligence in evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Note, Investor represents that Investor has had full and complete access to all documents containing certain organizational, business and financial information about the Company as well as the right to ask for and receive additional information from the Company's management, which Investor has either requested and received, or [investor has chosen to not ask for after the opportunity to review any such information or requests for information with Investor's counsel and/or advisors. Investor specifically represents and wants to the Company the following:
(a) Investor is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (hereinafter. the "1940 Act"), or a company that is excluded from the definition of an investment company solely by reason of the provisions of Sections 3(c)(l) or 3(cX7) of the 1940 Act;
(b) Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and the capacity to protect his/her/its interest in connection with the proposed investment in the Company and bas obtained, in his/her/its judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of such investment;
(c) Investor is acquiring the Note for his/her/its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view toward distribution or resale of the Note in whole or in part; and
(d) Investor represents that he/she/it is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The definition of "accredited investor" includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(i) A bank, insurance company, registered investment
company, business development company, or small business investment company;
{ii) An employee benefit plan, within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, if a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser makes the investment decisions, or if the plan has total assets in excess of $5 million;
(iii) A charitable organization, corporation, or partnership with
assets exceeding $5 million;
(iv) A director, executive officer, or general partner of the company selling the securities
(v) A business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors;
| 6 |
(vi) A natural person who bas individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person's spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person;
(vii} A natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint in me with a spouse: exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year; or
(viii) A trust with assets in excess of $5 million, not formed to acquire the securities offered, whose purchases a sophisticated person makes.
3.6 Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the Note may not be sold, transferred. or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering tile Note or an available exemption from registration wider the 1933 Act, the Note must be held indefinitely. In particular, Investor is aware that the Note may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 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. Such information is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. In this connection, Investor represents that he/she/it is familiar with and understands the resale limitations imposed by Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
Investor acknowledges that the Note has not been registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act that depends, in part, upon his investment intention. Investor understands that, if the Note is sold in the United States or to United States residents, it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if his/ her/its representation merely meant that his/her/its present intention was to hold the Note for a short period, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, or for any other fixed period. Investor realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with his/ her/its representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a sale, transfer, or other disposition as a deferred sale for which the exemption is not available.
Investor agrees that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Note by Investor out of his/ her/its name only when his or her request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale, transfer, or disposition does not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state or province "blue sky" laws (collectively "S securities Laws.") Investor agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, controlling persons, and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of any sale, transfer, or disposition of the Note by the undersigned Investor in violation of any Securities Laws or misrepresentation herein.
| 7 |
Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company is relying on Investor's representations contained in this Agreement in determining whether to accept this subscription. Investor agrees that the Company has the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to cl9se the offer at any time.
Investor represents and warrants that all representations made by Investor hereunder are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of execution hereof: and Investor further agrees that until the closing on the Note subscribed for he shall inform the Company immediately of any changes in any of the representations provided by Investor herein.
3.7 Legends. To the extent applicable, each document (whether electronic or on paper) evidencing the Note shall be endorsed with a legend substantially in the form set forth below:
'TIIB NOTE REPRESENTED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECE£VED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, SATISFACTORY TO TIIE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
3.8 Financial Books and Records. Investor acknowledges that he/she/it has had the opportunity to review the Company's financial books and records but Investor understands and acknowledges that the Company has no independently audited financial statements and full and complete disclosure concerning its financial condition cannot therefore be made.
