of the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company has received a written opinion of its

providing for current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity in
his investment in the shares; and (iv) he does not have an overall commitment to
investments which are not readily marketable that is excessive in proportion to

to become excessive.
