Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser
|
The Purchaser represents and warrants to
the Company as follows:
4.1 Purchase for Own
Account. The Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the
Shares, solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and
not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Shares or any part thereof,
has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or
otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same,
and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such
intention.
4.2 Information and
Sophistication. Without lessening or obviating the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3, the
Purchaser hereby: (i) acknowledges that it has had access to and reviewed the
periodic and other reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) acknowledges that it has received all the
information it has requested from the Company and it considers necessary or
appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Shares, (iii) 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 Shares and to obtain
any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information
given the Purchaser and (iv) further represents that it has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risk of this investment.
4.3 Ability to Bear Economic
Risk. The Purchaser acknowledges that investment in the Shares
involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without
materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Shares for an
indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its
investment. In addition, the Purchaser (i) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares and
(ii) understands and has fully considered for purposes of this investment
the risks of this investment and understands that (a) this investment is
suitable only for an investor who is able to bear the economic consequences of
losing its entire investment, (b) the Company has a limited financial and
operating history, (c) the Shares represent an extremely speculative
investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss, and (d) there are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares; accordingly, it
may not be possible for the Purchaser to liquidate its investment in the Shares
in case of emergency. The Purchaser understands that there have been
no representations as to the possible future value, if any, of the
Shares.
3.
4.4 Further Limitations
on Disposition. The Purchaser understands
and acknowledges that the offering and issuance of the Shares will not be
registered under the Securities Act on the grounds that the offering and
issuance of the Shares are exempt from registration under the Securities Act,
and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemption is predicated upon the
Purchaser’s representations set forth in this Agreement. The
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely
and it cannot dispose of the Shares unless the offer and sale of the Shares is
registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is
available.
4.5 Advisors
4.6 .
The Purchaser is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company
or any of its agents with respect to the tax consequences of this investment and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and understands that the
Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax
liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser
is not
relying on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents
for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
