[***]

The Distributor hereby acknowledges that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Distributor hereby re-affirms this representation each calendar quarter, unless it provides Seller with notice stating that it is no longer an “accredited investor”.

The Distributor understands that the Distributor Compensation Shares are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Seller in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 only in certain limited circumstances. The Distributor understands that the Distributor Compensation Shares will bear a restrictive legend stating the foregoing.

By accepting the Distributor Compensation Shares, the Distributor hereby agrees that it shall not sell more than 5% of the Distributor Compensation Shares earned in any quarter during any calendar month.
