Lender Attestation

 

In connection with the issuance by the Borrower of the Shares to the Lender:

 

Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is acquiring the Shares for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

Lender understands that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Shares are being issued pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Borrower’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by Lender in this Consent, and that the Shares must be held by Lender indefinitely, and that the Lender must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each certificate or book entry representing the Shares will be endorsed with substantially the following legend until the earlier of (1) the Shares have been registered for resale by Borrower, provided that Borrower is under no obligation to effect such registration, or (2) the date the Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Borrower will instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares (or any portion thereof) until the applicable date set forth in clause (iii) above unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied, or other satisfactory assurances of such nature are given to the Borrower.

Lender has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in connection with the receipt of the Shares. Lender has, in connection with its decision to acquire the Shares, relied only upon the representations and warranties contained herein. Further, Lender has had such opportunity to obtain additional information and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Borrower, concerning the terms and conditions of the investment and the business and affairs of the Borrower, as Lender considers necessary in order to form an investment decision;

 

Lender is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act;

 

Lender is not acquiring the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement;

Lender understands that nothing in this Consent, or any other materials presented to Lender in connection with its acquisition of the Shares, constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Lender has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its acquisition of Shares;

 

Lender acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Consent, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other person;

 

Lender acknowledge and agree that he/it has had the opportunity to consult its own independent legal, tax, accounting and other advisors and Lender’s tax and other economic consequences to itself of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Shares being acquired by Lender hereunder, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other income tax laws of the United States or any other country, and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws; and

 

Lender is not relying on the Borrower or any of its affiliates or any of their respective employees, agents, representatives or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Shares.
