Section 2.1 Acceptance or Rejection.

 

(a)

The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject this subscription for the Offered Securities in whole or in part in any order, if, in its reasonable judgment, it deems such action in the best interest of the Company, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Subscriber of notice of acceptance of the Subscriber’s subscription.

SECTION 3

 

Section 3.1

Subscriber Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(a)

The Subscriber is acquiring the Offered Securities for the Subscriber’s own account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Offered Securities. Further, the Subscriber 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.

 

(b)

The Subscriber acknowledges the Subscriber’s understanding that the offering and sale of the Offered Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i)

The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the foregoing exemptions may not be present, if, notwithstanding such representations, the Subscriber has in mind merely acquiring Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intentions;

 

(ii)

The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for the Subscriber’s current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to the Subscriber’s investment in the Company; and

 

(iii)

The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Offered Securities.

 

(c)

The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(i)

The Subscriber has been given the opportunity for a reasonable time prior to the date hereof to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company or its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and other matters pertaining to this investment, and has been given the opportunity for a reasonable time prior to the date hereof to obtain such additional information in connection with the Company in order for the Subscriber to evaluate the merits and risks of purchase of the Offered Securities, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense; and

 

(ii)

The Subscriber has not been furnished with any oral representation or oral information in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities; and

 

(iii)

The Subscriber has determined that the Offered Securities are a suitable investment for the Subscriber and that at this time the Subscriber could bear a complete loss of the Subscriber’s investment; and

 

(iv)

The Subscriber is not relying on the Company, or its affiliates with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment; and

 

(v)

The Subscriber realizes that it may not be able to resell readily any of the Securities purchased hereunder because (A) there may only be a limited public market for any Securities and (B) none of the Securities have been registered under the “blue sky” laws; and

 

(vi)

The Subscriber understands that the Company has the absolute right to refuse to consent to the transfer or assignment of the Securities if such transfer or assignment does not comply with applicable state and federal securities laws; and

 

(vii)

No representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company, or any officer, employee, agent, affiliate or subsidiary of any of it, other than the representations of the Company in this Agreement; and

 

(viii)

Any information which the Subscriber has heretofore furnished to the Company with respect to the Subscriber’s financial position and business experience is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement and if there should be any material change in such information the Subscriber will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company; and

 

(ix)

The Subscriber has received and reviewed the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated as of August 9, 2013, as amended, and has had access to the reports of the Company filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and

 

(x)

The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall survive the sale of the Securities and acceptance by the Company of the Subscriber’s subscription.
