THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THESE SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT". 1 2. Lenders Representations and Warranties. The Lender hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows: (a) The Lender is acquiring the Securities for its own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Securities.

(e) The Lender represents, warrants and agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless registered under the Act or in reliance upon an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its purchase for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Securities or underlying securities have not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of certain states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available.
