| e. | Can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, can afford to sustain a complete loss of such investment, has no need for liquidity in connection with an investment in the Shares, and can afford to hold the Shares indefinitely. | ||
| f. | Realizes that the Shares have not been registered for sale under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or applicable state securities laws (the “State Laws”), and may be sold only pursuant to registration under the Act and State Laws, or following the furnishing of an opinion of counsel to the Corporation that such registration is not required. | ||
| g. | Is experienced and knowledgeable in financial and business matters, capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Shares, and does not need or desire the assistance of a knowledgeable representative to aid in the evaluation of such risks (or, in the alternative, has a knowledgeable representative whom Buyer intends to use in connection with a decision as to whether to invest in the Shares). | ||

future. Buyer is aware that (i) there is presently no public market for the Shares, and (ii) the
transferability of the Shares is restricted and (A) requires the written consent of the
Corporation, and (B) may be further restricted by a legend.

should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Shares in any manner, Buyer shall not do
so without (i) complying with an available exemption from registration, including an opinion of
