The Securities will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Investor has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Securities in a public offering. No one other than such Investor will have any beneficial ownership of any of the Securities as of the applicable Closing. Such Investor has not granted or agreed to grant any beneficial ownership of any of the Securities to any other person (other than the members, manager, and/or partners of such Investor who may be deemed to have an indirect beneficial interest by virtue of their ownership interests in such Investor).

 

4.4              Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes that such Investor has received all the information such Investor considers necessary in connection with its execution of this Agreement. Such Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management and has also had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company and from counsel regarding the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished such Investor or to which such Investor had access. Such Investor acknowledges that the Company has not delivered, and has not been requested to deliver, to such Investor a private placement or similar memorandum or any written disclosure of the types of information customarily furnished to purchasers of securities.

 

4.5              Investment Experience. Such Investor understands that the purchase of the Securities involves substantial risk.

If there should be any material change in such information prior to the applicable Closing, such Investor will immediately provide such information to the Company.

 

4.7              Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the 1933 Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the 1933 Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.

(a)                there is then in effect a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

 

(b)               such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of such Investor or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the 1933 Act.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any transfer of any Securities in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A; (ii) for any transfer of Securities by an Investor that is a partnership or a corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership or shareholder of such corporation, (B) a controlled affiliate of such partnership or corporation, (C) a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, (D) the estate of any such partner or shareholder; or (iii) for the transfer by gift, will or in testate succession by any Investor to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 4 to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Investor hereunder.

 

4.10          Legends. Such Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Securities will bear legends substantially similar to those set forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law, by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or by any agreement between the Company and such Investor:

 

(a)                   THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF APPLICABLE STATES.

INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(b)                 Any legend required by the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state securities laws.

 

The legend set forth in (a) above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing the Securities upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the 1933 Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale (other than pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145 under the 1933 Act) without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Securities.

2.4              Restrictions on Exercise.

As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute the subscription form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the date of exercise.

 

2.5              Net Exercise.

5.1              Adjustment for Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities).

 

5.2              Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable respect to the Warrant Stock that is payable in (a) securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Sections 5.1 or 5.3) or (b) assets (other than cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

 

5.3              Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. Except as provided in Section 4 (Early Expiration), in case of any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company after the date of this Warrant, or in case, after such date, the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 2), at any time after the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or merger, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or merger if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, and the successor or purchasing corporation in such reorganization, consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation’s obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger.

 

5.4              Conversion of Stock. In case all the authorized Warrant Stock of the Company is converted, pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, into other securities or property, or the Warrant Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “Former Number of Shares of Warrant Stock”), the stock and other securities and property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant with respect to the Former Number of Shares of Warrant Stock immediately prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

 

5.5              Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

5.6              No Change Necessary. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon its exercise.

 

5.7              Reservation of Stock. If at any time the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

6.              NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. This Warrant does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall cause the Holder to be a shareholder of the Company for any purpose.

 

7.              NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder against wrongful impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may duly and validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

8.              ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In the event any party is required to engage the services of any attorneys for the purpose of enforcing this Warrant, or any provision thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses and costs in enforcing this Warrant, including attorneys’ fees.

 

9.              TRANSFER. Neither this Warrant nor any rights hereunder may be assigned, conveyed or transferred, in whole or in part, without the Company’s prior written consent, which the Company may withhold in its sole discretion; provided, however, that this Warrant may be assigned, conveyed or transferred without the prior written consent of the Company to any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Holder. The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees.
