(ii) Such Rollover Holder is acquiring the Parent Exchange Shares for investment for such Rollover Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Such Rollover Holder understands that the Parent Exchange Shares have not been, and will not be when issued, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and such state securities law, respectively, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the representations as expressed herein. The Rollover Holder understands that no Governmental Entity has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Parent Exchange Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in such securities nor has any Governmental Entity passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of such securities. The Rollover Holder is a resident of the jurisdiction specified in the preamble to this Agreement.

(iii) Such Rollover Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and with respect to transactions of the kind and scope contemplated by this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, that such Rollover Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Parent Exchange Shares and of making an informed investment decision and can bear a complete loss of the Rollover Holder’s investment. Such Rollover Holder understands that a purchase of the Parent Exchange Shares involves risk, and there can be no assurance as to the future value of Parent’s businesses or the Parent Exchange Shares.

(iv) Such Rollover Holder has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.

Such Rollover Holder further acknowledges that it has consulted with its own counsel, financial and tax advisors and other professional advisors as it believes is sufficient for purposes of the purchase of the Parent Exchange Shares, and on such basis, such Rollover Holder believes that an investment in the Parent Exchange Shares is suitable and appropriate for it.

(vi) Such Rollover Holder understands and acknowledges that the Parent Exchange Shares will constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities

 

8


Act and applicable regulations inasmuch as they will be acquired in transactions not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Parent Exchange Shares may be resold without registration only in certain limited circumstances under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
