(b) Capacity of the Purchaser; Execution of Agreement. The Purchaser has all requisite power, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to perform the transactions and obligations to be performed by it hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by the Purchaser of the transactions and obligations contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or individual, as the case may be, action of the Purchaser . This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws, both state and federal, affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or remedies in general from time to time in effect and the exercise by courts of equity powers or their application of principles of public policy.
 
(c) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser and the investors for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent are each an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.
 
(d) Suitability and Sophistication. The Purchaser has (i) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of independently evaluating the risks and merits of purchasing the Shares it is purchasing; (ii) independently evaluated the risks and merits of purchasing such Shares and has independently determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for it; and (iii) sufficient financial resources to bear the loss of its entire investment in such Shares.
