Such Purchaser has no current intention of selling, granting participation in or otherwise distributing the Shares in violation of applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws. Such Purchaser does not have any
3
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity, or to any third person or entity, with respect to any of the Shares, in each case, in violation of applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws.
(d) Such Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended ( the “Securities Act”) or any applicable U.S. state or foreign securities laws, and that the Shares are being issued in reliance on an exemption from registration, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.
(e) Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his or her investment. Such Purchaser is a sophisticated investor, has relied upon independent investigations made by such Purchaser and, to the extent believed by such Purchaser to be appropriate, such Purchaser’s representatives, including such Purchaser’s own professional, tax and other advisors, and is making an independent decision to invest in the Shares. Such Purchaser has been furnished with such documents, materials and information that such Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate for evaluating an investment in the Companies (including a copy of a valuation report from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx dated January 10, 2005 as to the valuation of the Holdings I Class A Shares), and such Purchaser has read carefully such documents, materials and information and understands and has evaluated the types of risks involved with a purchase of the Shares. Such Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) from the Companies or their respective shareholders, directors, officers or affiliates, or from any other person or entity, in connection with his or her investment in the Shares. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Companies have not given any assurances with respect to the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares.

(h) Such Purchaser understands that no U.S. federal or state or foreign agency has passed upon this investment or upon either of the Companies, or upon the accuracy, validity or completeness of any documentation provided to such Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor has any such agency made any finding or determination as to this investment.
(i) Such Purchaser understands that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and that on the date of the Closing and for an indefinite period thereafter there will be no public market for the Shares and, accordingly, such Purchaser may not be possible to liquidate his or her investment in case of emergency, if at all. In addition, such Purchaser understands that the Management Shareholders Agreement referred to in Section 5 below contains substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and provides that, in the event that the conditions relating to the transfer of any Shares in such document has not been satisfied, the holder shall not transfer any such Shares, and unless otherwise specified the Companies will not recognize the transfer of any such Shares on their books and records or issue any share certificates representing any such Shares, and any purported transfer not in accordance with the terms of the Management Shareholders Agreement shall be void. As such, Purchaser understands that: a restrictive legend or legends in a form to be set forth in the Management Shareholders Agreement will be placed on the certificates representing the Shares; a notation will be made in the appropriate records of the Companies indicating that each of the Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer and, if the Companies should at some time in the future engage the services of a securities transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer instructions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to the Shares; and such Purchaser will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares only in a manner consistent with its representations set forth herein and then only in accordance with the Management Shareholders Agreement.
(j) Such Purchaser understands that (i) the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, (ii) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (iii) the Shares must be held indefinitely and he or she must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Shares unless such Share is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; (iv) such Purchaser is prepared to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time; (v) it is not anticipated that there will be any public market for the Shares; (vi) the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws; and (vii) the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with Bermuda law.
(k) Such Purchaser understands that this investment is not recommended for investors who have any need for a current return on this investment or who cannot bear the risk of losing their entire investment. In that regard, such Purchaser understands that his or her investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk of loss of such Purchaser’s investment therein, and that such Purchaser may lose the entire amount of his or her investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) he or she has adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no
5
need for liquidity in this investment; (ii) his or her commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to his or her net worth; and (iii) his or her investment in the Shares will not cause his or her overall financial commitments to become excessive.
