The Sway Shareholders understand that the Acquisition Shares which may be acquired hereunder must be held by them indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition or transfer of any of said shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is exempt from registration therefrom. The Sway Shareholders further understand that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to such Sway Shareholder) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if and when applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts. |

Investment Experience; Suitability. Each Sway Shareholder is a sophisticated investor familiar with the type of risks inherent in the acquisition of securities such as the Acquisition Shares and the Sway Shareholders’ financial position is such that the Sway Shareholders can afford to retain the shares of Acquisition Shares for an indefinite period of time without realizing any direct or indirect cash return on its investment. |
