(a)
Subscriber is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Subscriber is subscribing for Shares for investment for his or her own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(b)
Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Subscriber's investment intent as expressed herein.
(c)
Subscriber understands that the Shares are "restricted securities" under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Subscriber must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Subscriber further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Subscriber's control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
(d)
Subscriber understands that Subscriber may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Subscriber's subscription for or disposition of the Shares.
