(e) The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he or she will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities without registration under applicable state securities laws or without an exemption therefrom, and is aware that he or she will be required to bear the financial risks of his or her purchase for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered with any regulatory authority of any State and, therefore, cannot be transferred or resold unless they are subsequently registered under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. The undersigned also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Company Interests on his or her behalf or to assist him or her in complying with any exemption from registration under applicable state securities laws other than as may be set forth in this Agreement.
(f) The undersigned recognizes that no federal or state agency has recommended or endorsed the purchase of the Securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information set forth in the Investment, and that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations, declarations and warranties of the undersigned contained herein.
(g) The undersigned has at all times been given the opportunity to obtain reasonably requested additional information, to verify the accuracy of the information received and to ask questions of and receive answers from certain representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and the nature and prospects of the Company's business.
(h) The offer to sell the Securities was communicated to the undersigned directly by the Company by means of the Investment and not through any form of general advertising or solicitation such as advertisements or other communications in newspapers, magazines or other media, broadcasts on radio or television, seminars or promotional meetings or any generally circulated letter, circular (other than the Investment) or other written communication.
(i) The undersigned recognizes that there may be no public market for the Securities, and that it is extremely unlikely that there will be such a market in the future since the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; or to comply with any exemption available for the resale of Securities without registration. The transferability of the Securities will also be restricted. Furthermore, the laws of various states also may require transferees of the Securities to meet standards similar to those set forth in subparagraph (d) above. Thus, the undersigned realizes that he or she cannot expect to be able to liquidate his or her investment in the Company readily or at all in the case of an emergency.
(j) The undersigned is purchasing the Securities for investment for his or her own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Securities to or for the accounts of others. The undersigned agrees that he or she will not dispose of the Securities hereby subscribed for, or any portion thereof or interest therein, unless and until counsel for the Company shall have determined that the intended disposition is permissible and does not violate the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, or the provisions of any applicable state securities laws, or any rules or regulations thereunder.
(k) The undersigned recognizes that the purchase of a unit of Securities is a speculative investment and any financial forecasts or other estimates which may have been made by the Company merely represent predictions of future events which may or may not occur and are based on assumptions which may or may not occur. As a consequence, such financial forecasts or other estimates may not be relied upon to indicate the actual results which might be attained.

Such entity has its principal place of business as set forth in the signature pages hereof.

(m) The undersigned has not distributed the Investment to anyone other than the undersigned's professional advisor or legal or tax counsel, and no one except such professional advisor or counsel has used the Investment, and the undersigned has not made any copies thereof except such copies as may have been distributed to such professional advisor or counsel. The undersigned has not utilized the contents of the Investment for any purpose other than to evaluate an investment in the Securities and will return the Investment at the request of the Company.
