(e) Other than as provided in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that neither Issuer nor any advisor, representative, employee, director, officer or affiliate thereof nor any representative of any of the foregoing has made any representation or warranty, whether express or implied or otherwise, regarding Issuer, its business, assets, financial condition, operations or forecasted performance. Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer and its affiliates may now or at any other time have material confidential information concerning the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer or that could affect the value of the Issued Shares and that this information has not been, and may not be in the future, made available to Purchaser. Purchaser understands the disadvantage to which it may be subject on account of the disparity of information as among the Parties and has determined to enter into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of any such material confidential information not disclosed to or known by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby releases and forever discharges Issuer and its affiliates, their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses or liabilities, of any nature whatsoever, arising from or connected to any failure to disclose to Purchaser any information concerning Issuer. Purchaser understands and agrees that the issuance of the Issued Shares to Purchaser hereunder is conditioned on the foregoing acknowledgements and release.

No guarantees have been made or can be made with respect to the future value, if any, of the Issued Shares, or the profitability or success of Issuer’s business.
(g) Purchaser has made an independent decision to purchase the Issued Shares from Issuer based on the information concerning the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer available to Purchaser, which it has determined is adequate for that purpose.

Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer has not given any investment advice or rendered any opinion to Purchaser as to whether the purchase of the Issued Shares is prudent or suitable.
(h) Purchaser is acquiring the Issued Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such securities in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws.
(i) Purchaser is not acquiring the Issued Shares pursuant to any general solicitation or general advertising.
(j) Purchaser understands that the Issued Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Issued Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Issued 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. Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer has no obligation to register or qualify the Issued Shares for resale. Purchaser 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 Issued Shares, and on requirements relating to Issuer which are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which Issuer is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Issued Shares, and that Issuer has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Issued Shares.
