Consultant is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment, has the ability to protect Consultant’s own interests in this transaction and is financially capable of bearing a total loss of this investment.

Consultant acknowledges that the Shares are “restricted securities” as such term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may not be offered for sale. sold, assigned or transferred unless the Shares have been registered pursuant to Section 5 under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act is available for any such transaction. In connection with any offer, sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration provisions thereof, the Company may require the Consultant to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the Consultant, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transaction does not require registration thereof under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall execute an agreement in favor of the Company agreeing to be bound by the terms of these transfer restrictions.
