Representations and Warranties of Transferee. In connection with the transfer and sale of the Securities to Transferee, Transferee represents and warrants to the Transferor and to the Corporation that:
(a)
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Transferee is acquiring the Securities for investment for Transferee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” of such securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Transferee was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(b)
Restricted Securities. Transferee understands that neither the Securities nor any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock issued directly or indirectly upon conversion of the Securities (the “Conversion Shares”) have been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Transferee’s investment intent as expressed herein. Transferee understands that the Securities are (and, upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be) “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Transferee must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Transferee acknowledges that the Corporation has no obligation (except as may be set forth in the Investors’ Rights Agreement), and does not currently intend, to register or qualify the Securities or the Conversion Shares for resale. Transferee 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 Securities or the Conversion Shares (as applicable), and requirements relating to the Corporation which are outside of Transferee’s control, and which the Corporation is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
(c)
Accredited Investor. Transferee is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
(d)
Access to Information. Transferee has had access to all information regarding the Corporation and its present and prospective business, assets, liabilities and financial condition that Transferee reasonably considers important in making the decision to acquire the Securities, and Transferee has had ample opportunity to ask questions of the Corporation’s representatives concerning such matters.

agreement and its subject matter, and (iv) has independently and without reliance upon either Transferor or the Corporation for any information or advice regarding the Corporation or the value of the Securities, and based on such information and the advice of such advisors as Transferee has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
(f)
Due Authority. Transferee has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. This Agreement is a binding obligation of Transferee, enforceable against Transferee in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws and the application of general equitable principles. Transferee has taken all reasonable steps to obtain any necessary approvals and waivers required pursuant to the Related Agreements in connection with Transferee’s acquisition of the Securities.
4.

Other than the Securities, Transferor does not hold or possess, and has no right, title, or interest in, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation or any options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights) or agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from the Corporation any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Corporation.
(b)
Authorization. If Transferor is not a natural person, Transferor has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws or the jurisdiction of its organization. Transferor has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver and perform Transferor’s obligations under this Agreement. All agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby and to transfer, sell and deliver the Securities, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Transferor.
(c)
No Conflict; Consent. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any provision of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract (other than any consent required pursuant to the Related Agreements) or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Securities. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any foreign, federal, state or local governmental authority or other person or entity on the part of Transferor is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except those that have been duly waiver or properly complied with to the extent applicable to the transfer of the Securities to Transferee pursuant hereto.

No portion of the Purchase Price will be received indirectly by the Corporation.

Each of the Transacting Parties agrees that neither the Corporation, the other Transacting Party, nor any of their respective affiliated parties are under any obligation to disclose to such party any information or opinion they may have about the potential future value of the Corporation’s capital stock, even if such information is material, and each of the Transacting Parties has determined to enter into this Agreement notwithstanding such lack of information. Each of the Transacting Parties hereby acknowledges that any future sale of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock could be at a premium or a discount to the Purchase Price, and such sale could occur at any time or not at all. Each of the Transacting Parties hereby acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation or statement of the Corporation or its counterparty

 


in this transaction, other than those set forth in this Agreement, in making its investment decision to enter into this Agreement.
(b)
