2. Holder’s Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Exchange, the Holder represents, warrants and covenants with and to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:
2.1 Ownership of Warrant. The Holder owns the Warrant free and clear of any liens (other than the obligations pursuant to this Agreement and applicable securities laws).
2.2 Reliance on Exemptions. The Holder understands that the Exchanged Shares are being offered and exchanged in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire the Exchanged Shares.
2.3 No Governmental Review. The Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Exchanged Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Exchanged Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Exchanged Shares.
2.4 Validity: Enforcement. This Agreement to which the Holder is a party has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Holder and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
2.5 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Holder or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Holder is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Holder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.
2
2.6 Investment Representations.
(a) The Company has made available to the Holder all the information reasonable available to the Company that the Holder has requested for deciding whether to acquire the Exchanged Shares. The Holder confirms that it has been given sufficient access to information regarding the Company in connection with its decision to acquire the Exchanged Shares, including the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, persons acting on behalf of the Company and concerning the Company’s financial affairs, prospects and condition.
(b) The Holder (i) is resident in or otherwise subject to the securities legislation of the United States, and the issuance of the Exchanged Shares to the Holder has occurred only in the United States; (ii) by reason of its or his business or financial expertise, has the capacity to protect its or his own interests in connection with its or his acquisition of the Exchanged Shares; and (iii) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Holder is not a registered broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Company on or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Holder is not affiliated with any broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of FINRA or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer.
(c) The Holder is acquiring the Exchanged Shares in the ordinary course of business for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Holder does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Exchanged Shares to or through any person or entity.
(d) The Holder acknowledges that (i) a limited public market exists for the shares of Common Stock, and no assurances can be given by the Company that any of the Exchanged Shares will be registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) he, she or it must and shall bear the economic risk of holding the Exchanged Shares, which may be for an indefinite period of time, because at the time such Exchanged Shares are issued they will not have been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities law and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under applicable federal and state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available; (iii) the Exchanged Shares may not be resold or transferred on the official stock transfer records of Company without furnishing to Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Company that such sale or transfer of the Exchanged Shares will not violate the registration provisions of applicable federal and state securities laws; and (iv) certificates representing the Exchanged Shares shall have endorsed on them a restrictive legend to this effect.
(e) Holder understands that the Exchanged Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” as said term is defined in Rule 144 inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering based upon the exemption from such registration requirements for non-public offerings; and that such Exchanged Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they have been first registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from such registration provisions are available with respect to said resale or transfer of such securities. Holder hereby acknowledges that the Company was previously an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and is subject to the provisions of Rule 144(i). Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, including but not limited to provisions of Rule 144(i), as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
(f) The Holder acknowledges that: (i) there is no government or other insurance covering such Exchanged Shares; and (ii) there are risks associated with the acquisition of the Exchanged Shares.
(f) The Holder, 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 Exchanged Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Exchanged Shares indefinitely, and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(g) If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701 (a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code), the Holder hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Exchanged Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Exchanged Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Exchanged Shares. The Holder’s acquisition of and continued beneficial ownership of the Exchanged Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.
