2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Buyer represents and warrants, that:
(a) Investment Purpose. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own
account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection
with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any
time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such
Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. Such Buyer does not
presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to
distribute any of the Securities.
(b) Accredited Investor. Subscriber is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as
amended to date, a summary of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, and
Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Units and in
the Company.
(c) Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is
relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such
Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.
(d) Information. The Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any,
have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of
3
P41-481914 v4
EFTA01120585
the Company and information he deemed material to making an informed investment
decision regarding his purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by such
Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any other due
diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to rely on the
Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The
Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain
information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this
investment. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Securities.
(e) No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities, or the fairness
or suitability of the investment in the Securities, nor have such authorities passed upon or
endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(1) Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have
not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently
registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of
counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold,
assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption
from such registration requirements, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with
reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that such
Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A
promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto)
(collectively, "Rule 144"), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth
therein; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in
accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any
resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in
the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the
Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of
any exemption thereunder.
(g) Legends. The Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by
4
MI481914 v4
EFTA01120586
this Section 2(g), of a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND
NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED
IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the
legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration
Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii)
following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Warrant
Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to
issue a legal opinion to the Company's transfer agent promptly after the effective date
(the "Effective Date") of a Registration Statement if required by the Company's transfer
agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of the Warrants
exercised by a Buyer that is not an Affiliate of the Company (a "Non-Affiliated Bum")
at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the
Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company
agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 2(g), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following
the delivery by a Non-Affiliated Buyer to the Company or the Company's transfer agent
of a certificate representing Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive
legend (such third Trading Day, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Non-Affiliated Buyer a certificate representing such shares that is free
from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its
records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. The Buyer acknowledges that the
Company's agreement hereunder to remove all legends from Warrant Shares is not an
affirmative statement or representation that such Warrant Shares are freely tradable. The
Buyer agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 3(g) is predicated upon the Company's reliance that
5
P41481914 v4
EFTA01120587
the Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an
exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement,
they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(h) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a valid and binding
agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
(i) Receipt of Documents. The Buyer and his or its counsel has received

covenant set forth herein and the Transaction Documents (as defined herein); (ii) all due
diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of
such representations, warranties and covenants; (iii) the Company's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2014; and (iv) answers to all questions that the Buyer
submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and the Buyer has
relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished any other
documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.
(j) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers. If the Buyer(s) is a
corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an individual person, it has been
formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the specific purpose of
purchasing the Securities and is not prohibited from doing so.
(k) No Legal Advice From the Company. The Buyer acknowledges, that it
had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. The Buyer
is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or
representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or
investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
