ll.
PE and its equity owners have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
their purchase of the PE Membership Interest. The PE and, to its
knowledge after due inquiry, its equity owners are “accredited investors” as
that term is defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the Act and, as such, are
acquiring the PE Membership Interest and any other membership interests in the
Company in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement solely for their
account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to the disposition of
any part thereof within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of
1933. PE acknowledges and agrees that the PE Membership Interest have
not been registered under the Act or any other federal or applicable state
securities Laws and may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without
registration under such laws or an exemption therefrom. PE further

has made available or delivered to PE all documents, records, books, and other
additional information reasonably requested by PE.

consider investing in the Company; (ii) it may not be able to liquidate its
investment; (iii) transferability of the PE Membership Interest is extremely
limited; and (iv) in the event of a disposition, an investor could sustain the
loss of its entire investment.

acknowledges that this offering of the PE Membership Interest may involve tax
consequences, and that the contents of this Agreement do not contain tax advice
or information. PE acknowledges that PE (and its equity owners) must retain
their own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an
investment in the Company.
pp. PE
understands that the PE Membership Interest has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 nor any applicable state securities acts by reason of a
claimed exemption under the provisions of such act which depends, in part, upon
PE’s investment intention and its representations provided
hereunder.
