This Term Sheet is not intended to be and should not be construed as an offer, commitment or agreement to enter into an agreement to or to provide financing. Neither Wells Fargo Bank, National Associate nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to commence or thereafter continue any negotiations to enter into definitive agreement, and no person or entity should rely on an eventual formation of any agreement.
