D. Investment Experience. The Subscriber is a sophisticated, accredited, and experienced investor with regard to high-risk investments in restricted securities of the sort referred to in this Agreement (and the Memorandum) and is willing and able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in an amount equal to the amount the Subscriber has subscribed to purchase.

The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company of the size contemplated.

The Subscriber agrees to comply with Rule 144, which permits resales of shares by persons not affiliated with the Company only if the shares have been held for at least six months.

The Subscriber acknowledges the holding period required by Rule 144 is one year if the Subscriber is deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144.
