Each of the Investor and the Subscribers understands that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof that depend in part upon the investment intent of the Investor and the Subscribers and the accuracy of the other representations made by the Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Subscriber, in this Agreement.

The Investor confirms that it and each Subscriber has read the Indenture and has not relied on any statement (written or oral) of the Company, the Financial Advisors Group or any of their respective affiliates or agents as to the terms of the Notes.

Each of the Investor and the Subscribers has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers thereto, as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Subscription.

(m) No Regulatory Agency Recommendation or Approval.
