(b) The Purchaser is not subject to any provision of its constituent documents, trust agreement or any other agreement, instrument, law, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment of any governmental authority or other restriction that would prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

(e) The Purchased Securities purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired by the Purchaser for its own account for investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof, and the Purchaser shall not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Securities so acquired by it in violation of any of the registration requirements or other provisions of applicable law.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
 
(f) The Sellers have informed the Purchaser that the Sellers may be in possession of the Information which, if publicly disclosed, could foreseeably affect the value of the Purchased Securities, including Information that may be indicative that the value of such securities is substantially less than the purchase price being paid for the securities by the Purchaser as set forth herein.  Notwithstanding the Sellers’ possession of the Information which is not being disclosed to the Purchaser, the Purchaser wishes to enter into the Transactions at this time for its own business purposes.  The Purchaser acknowledges that the Sellers would not enter into the Transactions with the Purchaser in the absence of the protections afforded the Sellers by the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, the provisions set forth in this Section 7, and that the Purchaser is providing these protections, and the waiver set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement, as an inducement to the Sellers to consummate the Transactions.
 
(g) The Purchaser is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in the trading of the Company’s securities and other instruments of private and public companies and understands the disadvantage to which it may be subject on account of the disparity of the access to, and possession of, the Information between the Sellers and the Purchaser.  The Purchaser has conducted an independent evaluation of the Company’s securities to determine whether to engage in the Transactions and, notwithstanding the absence of access by the Purchaser to the Information, the Purchaser is desirous of consummating the Transactions.
 
(h) The Purchaser understands that (i) the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Act or under any state securities laws, and are being offered and sold in reliance under federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering and (ii) the Purchased Securities may not be reoffered, transferred or resold, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.
 
(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Securities in a private transaction separate from any public offering in a manner that would not constitute a public offering or distribution or the sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Act and would not violate or require registration under the Act or any other applicable securities laws.
 
(j) The Purchaser, by reason of, among other things, its business and financial experience, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transactions and of protecting its own interests in connection with the Transactions.
 
Section 8. Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties provided for in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the first anniversary of the Closing for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.
