a. No Registration. The Holder understands that the Conversion Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

c. Investment Experience. The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that the Holder can protect its own interests. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.
d. Speculative Nature of Investment. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Holder can bear the economic risk of such investment and is able, without impairing the Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Holder’s investment.
e. Accredited Investor. The Holder is an “accredited investor’ within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 50 1(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
f. Rule 144. The Holder acknowledges that the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

The Holder acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Conversion Shares the Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
