5.1           The Subscriber hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company:
 
 
(a)
The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, in reliance upon exemptions from regulation for non-public offerings.  The Subscriber understands that the Shares or any interest therein may not be, and agrees that the Shares or any interest therein will not be, resold or otherwise disposed of by the undersigned unless the Shares are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration is available;
 
 
(b)
The Subscriber is acquiring the Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  The Subscriber further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Shares;

(i)
The Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Subscriber, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (i) to the extent that any indemnification provisions contained herein may be limited by applicable law and principles of public policy, (ii) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (iii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or by general principles of equity;
 
 
(j)
No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any court, governmental authority or third person is required to be obtained by the Subscriber in connection with the execution and delivery of the Subscription Agreement by the Subscriber or the performance of the Subscriber’s obligations hereunder;
 
 
(k)
The Subscriber has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement.  With respect to such matters, the Subscriber relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral.  The Subscriber understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement;

 
 

 

 
(l)
the Subscriber is not aware of any advertisement of any of the Shares and is not acquiring the Shares as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising including advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising; and

If the Subscriber disapproves of the terms of such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter.

 
 

 

9.3           The Subscriber hereby agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Registrable Shares during a period not to exceed 90 days following the effective date of a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of the Company if so requested by the Company or any representative of its underwriters, and the Subscriber shall enter into such underwriter's standard form of "lockup" or "market standoff' agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stock transfer restrictions with respect to the Registrable Shares of the Subscriber until the end of the lockup period.
 
9.4           The obligations of the Company to register any of the Subscriber’s Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 9 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the sale of such Registrable Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and (ii) if the Subscriber is eligible to sell all of the Subscriber’s Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within any three month period without volume limitations.
