Parent acknowledges that it is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a material adverse change in such Parent’s financial condition. Parent, either alone or with such Parent’s representative(s), otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Parent is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares.
