REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TCC HOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

 

The TCC Holder Representative represents and warrants to the Company that the statements contained in this Article 3 are true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date.

 

3.1 Organization and Good Standing; Authority and Validity. TCC Holder Representative has all requisite power, authority and legal capacity to execute, deliver, and perform his, her or its obligations under and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

   
 

 

3.2 Title to the TCC Shares. No Person has acquired or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, the TCC Shares, and there is no agreement to which the TCC Holder Representative or any TCC Holder is or has been a party, or is or has been otherwise bound relating to the direct or indirect sale or transfer of the TCC Shares. There are no agreements or restrictions affecting the right of the TCC Holder Representative or the TCC Holders to convey the TCC Shares to the Company, and no Person has any preemptive or other rights with respect to the TCC Shares. The TCC Holders own the TCC Shares beneficially and of record, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances and the TCC Holders have the absolute right, authority, power and capacity to surrender and transfer the TCC Shares to the Company free and clear of any and all Encumbrances.

 

3.3 Investment Representations.

 

(a) Each TCC Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

 

(b) Each TCC Holder is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities transactions of the kind and nature contemplated by this Agreement and acknowledges that he, she or it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c) The Company Shares to be acquired by the TCC Holders will be acquired for investment for each TCC Holder’s own account, not as a nominees or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof.

No TCC Holder presently has any contract with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person, with respect to any of the Company Shares.

 

(d) Each TCC Holder understands that the Company Shares have not been, and will not be, 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 intent and the accuracy of the TCC Holder Representative’s representations as expressed herein. Each TCC Holder understands that the Company Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities Laws and that, pursuant to these Laws, the TCC Holder must hold the Company Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The TCC Holder Representative acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Company Shares for resale. The TCC Holder Representative further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements, including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Company Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the TCC Holder Representative’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation to and may not be able to satisfy. The TCC Holder Representative understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Company Shares will be uncertificated and represented by an entry on the books of the Company.
