• except as specifically provided herein or in the Plan, the Holder has no contract, undertaking, understanding, agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell, transfer or pledge all or any portion of his, her or its Stock, and has no current plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, understanding, agreement or arrangement;
• the Holder has not seen, received, been presented with, or been solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, article or any other form of advertising or general solicitation as to the Company’s sale to such Holder of his, her or its Stock; and
• the Holder is familiar with the business and operations of the Company and has been afforded full and complete access to the books, financial statements, records, contracts, documents and other information concerning the Company and its proposed activities, and has been afforded an opportunity to ask such questions of the Company’s agents, accountants and other representatives concerning the Company’s proposed business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and other relevant matters as he has deemed necessary or desirable, and has been given all such information as has been requested, in order to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment contemplated herein.
