Subscriber, referred to as the “Subscribers”), and none of the Subscribers shall be responsible in
any way for the performance of the obligations of any of the other Subscribers under the

obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company
acknowledges that each of the Subscribers shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce
its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and
it shall not be necessary for any of the other Subscribers to be joined as an additional party in
any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all of
the Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company
and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the Subscribers. The Company
acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a
presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the
Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
