purposes only and not with a view to or in connection with any distribution, reoffer, resale, public offering or other distribution thereof not in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any applicable United States federal or state securities laws or regulations, or the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(iii)      You (check the applicable box) ARE ☐ or ARE NOT ☐ an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, which means:

(1)         A person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with their spouse, exceeds U.S.$1,000,000 (without including the person’s primary residence as an asset); or

(2)         A person whose income exceeded U.S.$200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint income with their spouse exceeded U.S.$300,000 in each of those years, and who has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in this year;

(iv)      You possess such expertise, knowledge, experience and sophistication in financial and business matters generally and in making investments of this type specifically that you are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Shares;

(v)        During the course of the offering of the Shares and prior to the date hereof, Holdings has made available to you the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, persons acting on behalf of Holdings concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares, and to obtain any additional information that you desire relating to Holdings and the risks related to the investment in Shares that you have deemed necessary to make a complete evaluation thereof;

(vi)      You have had an opportunity to consult an independent tax and legal advisor and your decision to acquire the Shares for investment has been based solely upon your evaluation;

bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time; and

(ix)      You are aware that the Shareholder Agreements provide significant restrictions on your ability to dispose of the Shares.

You acknowledge and agree that if, following the date hereof, Holdings determines that any of the representations made by you under this Section 6(b) is inaccurate, any sale of Shares to you may, in the sole discretion of Holdings, be rescinded and the Cash Subscription that you have paid in respect of the Shares will be promptly returned to you and the transfer of such Shares to you shall be deemed null and void.

7.         No Registration. You are hereby advised that the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act upon the basis that the sale of Shares to you is exempt from such registration requirements pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that reliance by the Company on such exemption is predicated in part on your representations set forth in Section 6(b) of this Agreement, and, as a result, the Shares cannot be resold by you unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (and the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction) or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Holdings is not under any obligation to effect such registration with respect to the Shares or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. For purposes of clarity, even if the Shares are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (and the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction) or an exemption from registration is available, the provisions of the Shareholder Agreements may further restrict your ability to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares.

8.         Taxes. No representations or warranties of any kind are given to you regarding the tax consequences to you of purchasing, holding, or disposing of Shares. You should consult your own tax adviser in determining and evaluating the tax consequences to you of holding the Shares pursuant to U.S. federal tax law, as well as the application of any other state, local, foreign, or other tax laws to which you may be subject. This document has been written to support the marketing of the Shares, and was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by any taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal tax penalties.

9.         Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

10.        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
