CERTIFICATION OF ACCREDITED INVESTOR (CON’T.)
I understand that investment in the restricted Securities of the Company is an illiquid investment. In particular, I recognize that I must bear the economic risk of investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, since the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless either they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available and a favorable opinion of counsel for the Company to that effect is obtained (if requested by the Company). I consent to the affixing by the Company of such legends on certificates representing the Securities (or any part thereof) as any applicable federal or state securities law or any securities law of any other applicable jurisdiction may require from time to time.
I represent and warrant to the Company that: (i) the financial information provided in the Certification of Accredited Investor, the Investor Questionnaire, and the Subscription Agreement is complete, true and correct; (ii) I and my Investment Managers, if any, have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Securities; (iii) I and my Investment Managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information provided to me and have had all inquiries to the Company answered, and have been furnished all requested materials, relating to the Company and the offering and sale of the Securities; (iv) neither I nor my Investment Managers, if any, have been furnished any offering literature by the Company or any of its affiliates, associates or agents other than the offering materials; (v) I am acquiring the Securities for which I am subscribing for my own account, as principal, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of the Securities; (vi) I am financially sophisticated and have enough business and financial experience to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and to protect my interests in the transaction; and (vii) I believe that the investment in the Securities is suitable for me. INITIALS: _____________
I understand that the purchase price for the Securities does not reimburse me for any costs I have incurred for legal, tax, accounting or financial advice, including fees paid to my purchaser representative, if any.
The undersigned, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of legal business entity, (i) is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Securities; (ii) has obtained such additional tax and other advice that it has deemed necessary; (iii) has its principal place of business at its address set forth herein; (iv) has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities (although this may not necessarily disqualify the subscriber as a purchaser); (v) has truthfully and accurately disclosed all beneficial owners who, directly or indirectly, control 10% or more of the entity; and (vi) has truthfully and accurately disclosed the names of one or more individuals with managerial control. The person(s) executing the Subscription Agreement, as well as all other Agreements and documents related to the Offering, represent that he/she/they are duly authorized to execute all such Agreements and documents on behalf of the entity. (If the undersigned is one of the aforementioned entities, it agrees to supply any additional written information that may be required.) INITIALS: _____________

I/we further agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Offering described in the Subscription Agreement and the other documents and agreements related thereto. The undersigned is/are the only persons or entities with a direct or indirect interest in the Securities subscribed for by this Subscription Agreement. INITIALS: _____________
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, and attorneys, including the Placement Agents and their owners, officers, directors, affiliates, agents, representatives, employees, independent contractors, and attorneys, from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that they may incur by reason of (i) the failure of the undersigned to fulfill, or a breach of, any of the terms, conditions, or obligations set forth herein or in the Subscription, if applicable; (ii) any breach of the representations and warranties made by the undersigned herein or in the Subscription Agreement, including, but not limited to, the undersigned’s representations and warranties that he/she/it is financially sophisticated and that an investment in the Securities is suitable for him/her/it; or (iii) a breach of any agreement provided by the undersigned to the Company. INITIALS: _____________
Exhibit B-1-3
This subscription is not transferable or assignable by me without the written consent of the Company or as provided in the Subscription Agreement. If more than one person is executing these offering materials, the obligations of each shall be joint and several and the representations and warranties contained in the Subscription Agreement, the Certification of Accredited Investor, the Investor Questionnaire shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, each of these persons and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
