4.                   Acknowledgements of Investor. Each Investor hereby acknowledges to the Company as follows as of each Closing:

 

(a)                 No market for the resale of any of the Securities currently exists, and no such market may ever exist; accordingly, such Investor must bear the economic and financial risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time;

 

(b)                 The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the offer and sale of the Securities are being made in reliance on one or more exemptions for private offerings under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws; accordingly, no transfer, sale or other disposition (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) of any of the Securities is permitted unless such transfer, sale or other disposition is registered under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, or an exemption from such registration is available;

 

(c)                 The certificates evidencing the Subscription Shares and Warrant Shares to be purchased hereunder may bear substantially the following legends:

 

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SHARES, (ii) THIS COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SHARES SATISFACTORY TO THIS COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (iii) THIS COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

 

(d)                 The Securities are subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in this Agreement; accordingly, no transfer, sale, or other disposition of any of the Securities is permitted unless such transfer, sale, or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions hereof;

 

(e)                 Other than the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information provided or to be provided to such Investor by or on behalf of the Company or related to the transactions contemplated hereby, and nothing contained in any other documents provided or other statements made by or on behalf of the Company to such Investor is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation by the Company or any other Person that any such information is accurate or complete; and

 

(f)                  Such Investor acknowledges that such Investor’s representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements in this Agreement will be relied upon by the Company in entering into this Agreement and issuing the Subscription Shares to such Investor at the applicable Closing.

 

(g)                 Resale Restrictions. Investor hereby agrees that for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending twelve (12) months after the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Restricted Period”), Investor will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, lend, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares or any options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares or any other security of the Company which Investor owns or has a right to acquire as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Lockup Shares”). Any subsequent issuance to and/or acquisition by Investor of shares or options or instruments convertible into shares will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on transfer, the Investor may, at any time and from time to time during the Restricted Period, transfer the shares (i) as bona fide gifts or transfers by will or intestacy,

(ii)    to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the Investor, provided that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) to a partnership which is the general partner of a partnership of which the Investor is a general partner, provided, that, in the case of any gift or transfer described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), each donee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions contained herein in the same manner as such terms and conditions apply to the undersigned. For purposes hereof, “immediate family” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. During the Restricted Period, the Investor shall retain all rights of ownership in the Lockup Shares, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive any dividends that may be declared in respect thereof. The Company is hereby authorized and required to disclose the existence of this Agreement to its transfer agent. The Company and its transfer agent are hereby authorized and required to decline to make any transfer of the common stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement and/or the Purchase Agreement.
