(iv) | Counterparty is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as an investment company under, and as such term is defined in, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
(v) | Counterparty is, and shall be as of the date of any payment or delivery by Counterparty hereunder, solvent and able to pay its debts as they come due, with assets having a fair value greater than liabilities and with capital sufficient to carry on the businesses in which it engages. |
(vi) | Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that (A) Dealer is not making any representations or warranties or giving any advice with respect to the legal, regulatory, accounting or tax treatment of the Transaction, and Counterparty has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, accounting and tax advisors with respect to the Transaction, and (B) none of Dealer and its affiliates has acted or will act as Counterpartys fiduciary in any way, or has any fiduciary duties to Counterparty; and Counterparty is not relying, has not relied and will not rely upon any communication (written or oral) of Dealer or any of its affiliates. Counterparty has made or will make its own independent decision to enter into the Transaction based upon its own judgment and upon advice of such advisors as Counterparty deems necessary. |
(vii) | Counterparty is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuer. It shall promptly notify the other party if it has become an affiliate of the Issuer. |

(c) | Private Placement. |
Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that (i) it is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), (ii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account without a view to the distribution or resale thereof and (iii) it understands that the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act.
(d) | Matters relating to Dealer and the Agent. |
(i) | Dealer is not registered as a broker or dealer under the Exchange Act. [BROKER] (Agent) has acted solely as agent for Dealer and Counterparty to the extent required by law in connection with the Transaction and has no obligations, by way of issuance, endorsement, guarantee or otherwise, with respect to the performance of either party under the Transaction. The parties agree to proceed solely against each other, and not against Agent, in seeking enforcement of their rights and obligations with respect to the Transaction, including their rights and obligations with respect to payment of funds and delivery of securities. |
(ii) | Agent may have been paid a fee by Dealer in connection with the Transaction. Further details will be furnished upon written request. |
(iii) | The time of the Transaction will be furnished by Agent upon written request. |

(ii) | Dealer and its affiliates may also be active in the market for the Shares and derivatives linked to the Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction, including acting as agent or as principal and for its own account or on behalf of customers; |
(iii) | Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in the Shares shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Transaction; |
(iv) | any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; |
(v) | the Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has purchased from or sold to (as applicable) Dealer an option; Dealer may purchase or sell Shares for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than, the price paid to Counterparty under the terms of the Transaction; and |
(vi) | without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any initial price of the Transaction is not the execution price of any initial hedge of the Dealer (if the Dealer chooses to hedge any risk with respect to the Transaction), taking into |
Page 8 of 12
account any applicable fees or commissions, but rather is an initial price that is at risk to the Dealer (as determined by the Dealer in its sole discretion). |
(f) | Miscellaneous. |
Counterparty and Dealer understand that there may exist one or more confidentiality agreement(s) between Counterparty and Dealer. With respect to any rights or obligations thereunder to maintain the confidential nature of confidential information (as defined therein), the parties agree to continue to maintain the confidential nature of confidential information.
