(b) There are potential risks incident to the ownership of Shares in the Company, such investment is speculative and involves a possible loss by the undersigned of his investment in the Company.

(d) There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Code or the Regulations promulgated thereunder will not be amended in a manner that would deprive the Company or its investors of any tax treatment the Shareholder believes will be derived from investment in the Company’s Shares.
