Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
Purchaser’s Obligations at Closing At Closing, Purchaser shall: (a) pay to Seller, in immediately available federal funds transferred by wire pursuant to Section 1.3, the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject to prorations and adjustments as provided herein; (b) deliver to Seller an executed counterpart to the Assignment and Assumption of Membership Interests; (c) in the event that any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in Section 3.2 needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date, deliver to Seller a certificate (the “Purchaser Closing Certificate”), dated as of the Closing Date and duly executed by Purchaser, identifying any representation or warranty that is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to such change. In no event shall Purchaser be liable to Seller for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of, any breach of representation or warranty that results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and (ii) is expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the occurrence of a change that is not permitted hereunder shall constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.3(c). If, despite changes or other matters described in the Purchaser Closing Certificate, the Closing occurs, Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements made in the Purchaser Closing Certificate; (d) deliver to the Title Company such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Purchaser; (e) deliver an executed counterpart to the Closing Statement; and (f) deliver such additional documents as shall be reasonably required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Purchaser's Investment Representations Each Purchaser individually, and not jointly or severally, hereby represents that he or it is acquiring the Restricted Securities purchased hereunder for his or its own account with the present intention of holding such securities for investment purposes and that it has no intention of selling such securities in a public distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws; provided that nothing contained herein will prevent the Purchaser and the subsequent holders of such securities from transferring such securities in compliance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof. Each certificate for Restricted Securities will be conspicuously imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (the "Securities Act Legend"): "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON APRIL 10, 2002, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 10, 2002, BETWEEN THE ISSUER (THE "COMPANY") AND THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER HEREOF, AND THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO TRANSFER SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER. UPON WRITTEN REQUEST, A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE." Whenever any shares of Series B Junior Preferred Stock or Senior Common Stock, as applicable, cease to be Restricted Securities and are not otherwise restricted securities, the holder thereof will be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, upon surrender to the Company of the certificate representing such shares of Series B Junior Preferred Stock or Senior Common Stock, as applicable, a new certificate representing such shares of Series B Junior Preferred Stock or Senior Common Stock, as applicable, of like tenor but not bearing a legend of the character set forth above.
