  (iii) Such Purchaser understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to such Purchaser) promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may only afford the basis for sales under certain circumstances and only in limited amounts.

 

-3-


  (iv) Such Purchaser has had a reasonable time prior to the date hereof to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Securities, and to obtain any additional information which the Seller possesses or could acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, and has generally such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters and with respect to investments in securities as to enable such Purchaser to understand and evaluate the risks of such investment and form an investment decision with respect thereto.

 

  (v) Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of which are known to such Purchaser) promulgated under the Securities Act.

-4-


  consummate the purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities pursuant hereto. Such Purchaser shall not sue, commence litigation or make any claim arising out of or related to the omission of Seller to disclose any Information to such Purchaser.

 

  (iii) Such Purchaser has appropriate sophistication with respect to the Purchased Securities to undertake their purchase as contemplated herein and has independently and without reliance on the Seller or its affiliates and based on such information as such Purchaser had deemed appropriate in its independent judgment made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

 

  (iv) The Seller has not made and does not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, including without limitation with respect to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, prospects, creditworthiness, status or affairs of the Corporation or with respect to the value of any of the Purchased Securities, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Seller has no obligations to any Purchaser, whether express or implied, including without limitation, fiduciary obligations, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
