represents and warrants that:

injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act
or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction;
(b) The undersigned has never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime (i) involving

(c) The undersigned has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities
