financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Shares. The sale of the Shares to the Buyer is being made
without any public solicitation or advertisements.

SEC, CFTC or state securities regulators or commissions has not been
subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated.
