          e. The undersigned has been advised and understands that this investment is, by its nature, very speculative;

No federal or state agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulatory agency of any state, has approved or disapproved the Units, passed upon or endorsed the merits of such investments, or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the Units for private investment.

     3. Successors and Assigns. This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to the successors and assigns of the Company and to the legal representatives, successors and permitted assignees of the undersigned.
