4.19 Securities Representations.
(a) Investment Purposes. REM and/or the Principal is acquiring the Shares for his own account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part in any transactions that would be in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities or "blue-sky" laws. No other Person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, and neither REM nor the Principal has any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third party, with respect to, the Shares or any part thereof that would be in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities or "blue-sky" laws or other applicable Law.
(b) No General Solicitation. REM and/or the Principal is not receiving the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio; or presented at any seminar or similar gathering; or any solicitation of a subscription by a Person previously known to REM and/or the Principal.
(c) No Obligation to Register Shares. REM and/or the Principal understands that the Purchaser is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act, or to assist REM and/or the Principal in complying with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

All certificates evidencing the Shares will bear a legend stating that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws and they may not be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or exempt therefrom.
(d) Investment Experience. REM and/or the Principal, or his professional advisor, has such knowledge and experience in finance, securities, taxation, investments and other business matters as to evaluate investments in a company such as the Purchaser and the risks inherent with the Shares. By reason of the business and financial experience of such Person or his professional advisor, REM and/or the Principal can protect its own interests in connection with the receipt of the Shares. REM and/or the Principal is able to afford the loss of his entire investment in the Shares.
(e) Exemption from Registration. REM and/or the Principal acknowledge his understanding that the offering and sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In furtherance thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of REM and/or the Principal made herein, REM and/or the Principal further represents and warrants to and agrees with the Purchaser as follows:
(1) REM and/or the Principal has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his investment, has adequate means for providing for his current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to the Shares;
14
(2) REM and/or the Principal has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares;
(3) REM and/or the Principal has been provided an opportunity for a reasonable period of time prior to the date hereof to obtain additional information concerning the Purchaser and all other information to the extent the Purchaser possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense; and
