(d)
Investor is acquiring the Securities solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Investor does not have a present intention to sell any of the Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, investor does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other

Investor understands that the Securities purchased hereunder have not been, and may never be, registered under the Securities Act and that none of the Securities can be sold or transferred unless they are first registered under
the Securities Act and such state and other securities laws as may be applicable or the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available (and then the Securities may be sold or transferred only in compliance with such exemption and all applicable state and other securities laws). Investor acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated
pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and that Investor has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Investor understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, investor will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
