financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). Except as and to the
extent disclosed in the SEC Filings, since the date of the latest financial
statement included in the Company’s most recently filed annual report, there has
not been any event, occurrence or development which does or could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(j)          Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty in this Agreement,

document prepared by or on behalf of the Company for the Subscriber and
furnished by the Company to the Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated herein or therein or necessary to make the statements
herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they
were made. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no material fact or information,
individually or in the aggregate, relating to the business, prospects, condition
(financial or otherwise), affairs, operations, assets or properties of the
Company that has not been disclosed to the Subscriber by the Company and which
is reasonably necessary to enable the Subscriber to make its investment
