4. The Purchaser is familiar with the condition, financial and otherwise, of the Company, and the Company has made available to the Purchaser the opportunity to request and obtain all of the information referred to in the Transaction Documents to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Note.
5. The Purchaser has been offered copies of, or full access to, each of the Transaction Documents and all documents relating to the terms and conditions of the offering and the issuance of the Note (including, but not limited to, information regarding payment, redemption, defeasance and security with respect to the Note, and all records, reports, financial statements and other information concerning the Project, the Company and any third parties which is or may be pertinent to the source of payment redemption, defeasance and security for the Note) which, as a sophisticated and reasonable investor, the Purchaser has requested and to which, as a sophisticated and reasonable investor, the Purchaser would attach significance in making investment decisions.
6. The Purchaser is either a) a body politic and corporate and a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska, or b) a financial institution or other “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and Section 8-1111(8) of the Securities Act of Nebraska. If the Purchaser is an individual, the Purchaser is an individual or married couple with a net worth in excess of $1 million, or an individual with an income greater than $200,000 or a married couple with a combined income greater than $300,000 for each of the past two years and with a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, or an entity in which all of the owners are accredited investors. The Purchaser can bear the economic risk of its investment in Note and has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, including purchase and ownership of municipal and other obligations, and the analysis of purchasing similar speculative, unrated, real-estate secured investments, as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment represented by its investment in the Note and is aware of the intended use of the proceeds of the Note and the risks involved therein.
7. The undersigned is a resident of the State of Nebraska, or, if an entity is organized in and has its principal place of business in the State of Nebraska, and understands that under no circumstances may the undersigned transfer the Note to any person or entity that is not a resident of the State of Nebraska for a period of nine months from the date of the last sale in the offering of Note pursuant to which the undersigned purchased the Note subscribed for herein. The undersigned understands that a legend may be placed on the Note stating that the Note have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and setting forth the limitations on resale set forth in this paragraph.
8. The Purchaser is duly and legally authorized to purchase obligations such as the Note and its investment in the Note is a lawful investment for it under all applicable laws.
9. The Series B Note has been purchased for the account of the Purchaser for its own investment with its own unencumbered funds. The Purchaser has not borrowed funds or pledged any collateral (including, but not limited to, the Series B Note) in connection with its purchase of the Series B Note, and the Purchaser has not undertaken, has not agreed to undertake and neither does the Purchaser have the intention of undertaking, any distribution, securitization, hypothecation transfer, resale, pledge, collateralization or any other encumbrance on or disposal of the Series B Note (or any portion thereof or interest therein) (any such action (whether before or after the purchase of the Series B Note by the Purchaser) constituting a “Transfer of Series B Note Interest”). The Purchaser holds, and intends to hold, the Series B Note for its own account and for an indefinite period of time and does not intend to take any action which could constitute a Transfer of Series B Note Interest. The Purchaser understands that any Transfer of Series B Note Interest is restricted pursuant to the terms of this Purchase Letter. The
Purchaser is not acting as an “underwriter” within the meaning of that term under federal or Nebraska state laws.
10. The Purchaser acknowledges and represents that it has been advised that the Note are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any federal or state securities agency or commission, and that the Company is not presently required to register under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and that no trading market now exists for the Note. The Purchaser realizes that if the Purchaser undertakes any Transfer of Note Interest, there may not be available current business and financial information about the Company or the Project. The Purchaser understands that any Transfer of Note Interest is restricted pursuant to the terms of this Purchase Letter, including, but not limited to, the requirement that prior to the date on which any such Transfer of Note Interest is to be completed, the transferee sign a Purchase Letter substantially identical to this Purchase Letter and otherwise in form satisfactory to the Issuer and Paying Agent, and each of the conditions in paragraph 11 below shall have been satisfied. Accordingly, the Purchaser understands that it may need to bear the risks of investment in the Note for an indefinite period of time since any Transfer of Note Interest prior to the maturity of the Note may not be possible or may be at a price below that which the Purchaser is paying for the Note.
11. The Purchaser acknowledges the information provided by the Company may contain forward looking statements. These forward looking statements, which in any event are not statements made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer, may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements.
12. The Purchaser will not undertake any Transfer of Note, except:
|
|
(a) in full good-faith compliance with all applicable state and federal securities and banking laws;
|
|

|
13. The Purchaser acknowledges that stop transfer notations may be made on the Note or any other documents evidencing ownership of the Note to the effect that the Note have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 or the applicable state “Blue Sky” laws and that no Transfer of Note Interest may be undertaken unless the Note are registered thereunder or such Transfer of Note Interest is pursuant to an exemption from such registration (as reflected in an opinion of nationally recognized securities counsel acceptable to the Issuer) and otherwise in accordance with this Purchase Letter.
