ARTICLE VI
THE SELLERS' REPRESENTATIONS AND
COVENANTS RESPECTING THE SERIES C SHARES
6.1 ACQUISITION OF PREFERRED USCC SHARES FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS'
ACCOUNTS. The Shareholders will acquire the Preferred USCC Shares for investment
for their own accounts, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any distribution thereof, and the Shareholders have no present intention
of selling or distributing the Preferred USCC Shares. The Shareholders
understand that the Preferred USCC Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment as expressed herein.
6.2 ACCESS TO DATA. The Shareholders have had an opportunity
to discuss USCC's business, management and financial affairs with its management
and to obtain any additional information that the Shareholders have deemed
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether or not to acquire the Preferred
USCC Shares.
6.3 NO FAIRNESS DETERMINATION. The Shareholders are aware that
no federal, state or other agency has made any finding or determination as to
the fairness of the investment in the Preferred USCC Shares, nor made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Preferred USCC Shares.
6.4 KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. The Shareholders have such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, that they are
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Preferred
USCC Shares, and they are able to bear the economic risk of such investment.
6.5 ECONOMIC RISK. The Shareholders are aware that they must
bear the economic risk of the investment in the Preferred USCC Shares for an
indefinite period of time because the Preferred USCC Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any applicable Blue Sky Law and the
8
Preferred USCC Shares cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky Law, or an exemption from
such registration is available.
6.6 LEGENDS. Shareholders understand that the certificates
for the Preferred USCC Shares and, until such time as the conversion shares have
been registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to
Rule 416 thereunder) as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or
otherwise may be sold by Purchasers under Rule 144 may be sold by Shareholders
under Rule 144, the certificates for the conversion shares may bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
securities laws of any state of the United States. The securities
represented hereby may not be offered, sold or transferred in the
absence of an effective registration statement for the securities
under applicable securities laws unless offered, sold or transferred
under an available exemption from the registration requirements of
those laws.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and USCC shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of Preferred USCC Shares upon
which it is stamped if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a)
the sale of such security is registered under the Securities Act (including
registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder); (b) such holder provides USCC
9
with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or
transfer of such security may be made without registration under the Securities
Act; or (c) such holder provides USCC with reasonable assurances that such
security can be sold under Rule 144. Each Shareholder agrees to sell all
Preferred USCC Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from
which the legend has been removed, pursuant to an effective registration
statement or under an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. In the event the above legend is removed from any security and
thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering such security
is suspended or USCC determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is
required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to
such Shareholder, USCC may require that the above legend be placed on any such
security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement or under Rule 144 and Shareholders shall cooperate in the replacement
of such legend. Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such security may
again be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144.
6.7 RELIANCE. The Shareholders are aware that USCC is relying
on the accuracy of the above representations to establish compliance with
Federal and State securities laws.
