We also represent that the incurrence by us of our obligations hereunder in connection with the offering of Securities will not place us in violation of Rule 15c3-1 (or any successor provision) under the 1934 Act, if such requirements are applicable to us, or the capital requirements of any other regulator to which we are subject. We agree that in selling Securities pursuant to any offering (which agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Issuer or other seller or such Securities) we will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange having jurisdiction over the offering and in the case of an offering referred to in Section 3(b) hereof, the applicable laws, rules and regulations of any applicable regulatory body.

The syndicated community offering will be conducted in accordance with certain Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to best efforts offerings. Under these rules, Stifel or the other broker-dealers participating in the Syndicated Community Offering generally will accept payment for shares of common stock to be purchased in the Syndicated Community Offering through a “sweep” arrangement under which a customer’s brokerage account at the applicable participating broker-dealer will be debited in the amount of the purchase price for the shares of common stock that such customer wishes to purchase in the Syndicated Community Offering on the settlement date. Customers who authorize participating broker-dealers to debit their brokerage accounts are required to have the funds for the payment in their accounts on, but not before, the settlement date. No funds will be debited from brokerage accounts until the settlement date, which will not occur until the minimum of the offering range has been met. Upon settlement, debited funds will be paid to the Holding Company promptly. Customers who do not wish to authorize participating broker-dealers to debit their brokerage accounts will not be permitted to purchase shares of common stock in the syndicated community offering. Customers without brokerage accounts will not be able to participate in the syndicated community offering. We will notify you immediately if any of our representations contained in this Agreement cease to be accurate.
