Investment Experience.   The Seller acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Sale Shares and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment.




1.7
No Directed Selling Efforts.   The Seller acknowledges that the Seller has not acquired the Sale Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the US in respect of the Sale Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the US for the resale of the Sale Shares; provided, however, that the Seller may sell or otherwise dispose of the Sale Shares pursuant to registration of the Sale Shares pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state and federal securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein.
