(d) The undersigned understands and has fully considered for purposes of this investment that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Note and any Securities and that there will be no public market for the Note or the Securities (to the extent the securities are not shares of the Company’s common stock), and, accordingly, it probably will not be possible for the undersigned to liquidate the undersigned’s investment in the Note or the Securities (to the extent the securities are not shares of the Company’s common stock) in the case of an emergency or to use the Note or the Securities (to the extent the securities are not shares of the Company’s common stock) as collateral for a loan.

The undersigned further agrees not to engage in any hedging transactions with regard to the Note or the Securities unless in compliance with the Act.

The foregoing representations, warranties and undertakings are made by the undersigned with the intent that they be relied upon in determining the undersigned’s suitability as investors in the Company, and the undersigned hereby agrees that such representations and warranties shall survive the undersigned’s purchase of the Note.
