Furthermore, if the undersigned is a foreign investor who fails to timely file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 with the Company (the first such Form must be filed in duplicate with the Company prior to the acceptance of this subscription), the undersigned agrees, at the request of the Company, to execute any and all documents and instruments requested by the Company in order to consummate a sale or disposition of the Investment Securities as required to comply with law.

 

6. If the undersigned is an organization (other than a cooperative described in Section 521 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) whose income from the Company will be exempt from United States income tax, the undersigned shall so advise the Company.

 

 

7. THE OFFERING OF THESE SECURITIES IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. AS SUCH THE UNDERSIGNED MUST BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF THE INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE THE SECURITIES CANNOT BE SOLD UNLESS THEY ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. RESTRICTIONS WILL BE PLACED ON THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE SECURITIES.

B. Warranties of the Undersigned. The undersigned represents and warrants that:

 

1. The undersigned has reached the age of majority in the state or country in which the undersigned resides.

 

2. The undersigned (or the entity for which the undersigned is acting, if any) intends to retain indefinitely, and has no present arrangement, understanding or agreement for disposing of the Investment Securities and takes such Investment Securities solely for the account of the name(s) which appear below.

 

3. If a trust, corporation, partnership, or other entity, the undersigned: (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of formation; (ii) is duly authorized and empowered to purchase the Investment Securities; (iii) was not organized exclusively for the purpose of acquiring the Investment Securities and has an independent reason for existence beyond such investment; (iv) has duly authorized the signatory hereto to execute this subscription agreement on behalf of the undersigned, and, upon such execution, the subscription agreement and any related documents shall be a binding obligation of the undersigned; and (v) will, upon request of counsel to the Company, furnish evidence of the representations and warranties of this subparagraph, including certified copies of the certificate (articles) of incorporation, articles of (limited) partnership, or other creating or implementing documents.

5. It has been called to the undersigned’s attention that this investment involves a high degree of risk, and no assurances are or have been made regarding the economic advantages, if any, which may inure to the benefit of investors. The economic benefit from an investment in the Investment Securities depends on the ability of the Company to successfully conduct its business activities. The accomplishment of such goals in turn depends on many factors beyond the control of the Company or its management. Accordingly, the suitability for any particular investor of a purchase of the Investment Securities will depend upon, among other things, such investor’s investment objectives and such investor’s ability to accept speculative risks, including the risk of a total loss of investment in the Investment Securities. The undersigned and the undersigned’s advisor(s), if any, have carefully reviewed and understand the risk of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Investment Securities.

 

6. The undersigned is able to bear the economic risks of this investment, is able to hold the Investment Securities for an indefinite period of time, and has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the entire investment in the Company in the event such loss should occur.

 

7. The undersigned and the undersigned’s advisor(s), if any, have relied only upon the information contained in the Investment Documents made available to the undersigned and the undersigned’s advisor(s). Any other information concerning this offering, whether oral or written, may be incomplete or inaccurate. Only the Investment Documents are intended to be an accurate description of the offering and its terms.

 

8. The Company has answered all inquiries that the undersigned and the undersigned’s advisor(s), if any, have made of it concerning the Company or any other matters relating to the business and proposed operation of the Company and the offer and sale of the Investment Securities. No oral statement, printed material, or inducement which is contrary to the information contained in the Investment Documents has been given or made by or on behalf of the Company to the undersigned or the undersigned’s advisor(s), if any.

 

9. All of the representations and information provided by the undersigned in this subscription agreement and any additional information which the undersigned has furnished to the Company with respect to the undersigned’s financial position and business experience is accurate and complete as of the date that this subscription agreement was executed by the undersigned. If there should be any material adverse change in such representations or information prior to the sale of the Investment Securities subscribed for herein to the undersigned, the undersigned will immediately furnish accurate and complete information concerning any such material change to the Company.

 

10. The undersigned represents, if the undersigned is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), that in making the proposed investment the undersigned is aware of and has taken into consideration the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, and has concluded that the proposed investment is a prudent one.

Holders who wish their Investment Securities included in such registration statement shall comply with reasonable conditions imposed by the Company, including the furnishing of certain information required to be included in the registration statement.
