 any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by its purchase and holding of the
Securities or any interest therein that either (1) it is not a Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement and is not purchasing the Securities on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement or (2)(i) the purchase and holding of the Securities will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code or a similar
violation under any applicable Similar Laws and (ii) none of the Transaction Parties directly or indirectly exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders investment advice or otherwise acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to
the assets of the Plan within the meaning of ERISA.

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon
persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Securities on behalf of or with the assets of any Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief under any of the PTCEs listed above, the service provider exemption or any other applicable exemption, or the potential
consequences of any purchase or holding under Similar Laws, as applicable.

Purchasers of the Securities have exclusive responsibility for
ensuring that their purchase and holding of the Securities do not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any similar provisions of Similar Laws. The sale of any Securities to a Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by any such Plans
or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement or that such investment is appropriate for such Plans or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement.
