b.  
The Note is being purchased for the Subscriber’s own account without the participation of any other person, with the intent of holding the Note for investment and without the intent of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Note and not with a view to, or for a resale in connection with, any distribution of the Note or any portion thereof, nor is the undersigned aware of the existence of any distribution of the Company’s securities.  Furthermore, the undersigned has no present intention of dividing such Note with others or reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such Note, either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time, or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.

j.  
The Subscriber represents, warrants and agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Note without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Note has not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.  In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Note is a “restricted security,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and it may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met.
