The Purchaser further represents that it or its investment adviser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment.

7.3  Ability to Bear Economic Risk.

7.4  Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

(a)  There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or

(b)  The Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(c)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Purchaser (i) in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144(k) (or any successor provisions) of the Securities Act so long as the Company is furnished with satisfactory evidence of compliance with such rule or (ii) to a shareholder, member or partner (or retired partner or member) of the Purchaser, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were a Purchaser hereunder.

7.5  Accredited Investor Status. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

7.6  Foreign Investors. If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Such Purchaser’s subscription and payment for, and his or her continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction. Such Purchaser also hereby represents that such Purchaser is not a “10-percent shareholder” as defined in Section 871(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

8.
