	3.	Current Valuation. The Board of Directors shall determine the fair market value of the Units granted hereby and notify the Subscriber of such fair market value within

	4.	Representations and Warranties of the Subscriber. Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that each of the statements contained in this Section 4 is true and
correct: 

  

	 	(a)	Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Units are being granted to Subscriber under an exemption from registration provided for in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Act”), and accordingly, must be held indefinitely by Subscriber, unless the Units are subsequently transferred in transactions that are either registered under the Act or exempt from registration. Subscriber understands that the
Company is under no obligation to register the Units under the Act or to file for or comply with an exemption from registration, and recognizes that exemptions from registration, in any case, are limited and may not be available when Subscriber may
wish to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Units. Subscriber acknowledges that this transaction has not been scrutinized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any federal or state or foreign regulatory or
governmental authority charged with the administration of the securities laws; 

  

	 	(b)	Subscriber understands and has fully considered, for purposes of owning the Units, and understands that: (i) owning the Units is a speculative investment which involves a high
degree of risk of loss of the entire grant to Subscriber; (ii) that there will be no public market for the Units and accordingly, it may not be possible for Subscriber to liquidate the Units in case of an emergency; and (iii) Subscriber’s right
to transfer the Units is limited as set forth in the Operating Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, as modified by the Joinder Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B; 

  

	 	(c)	Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of owning the Units; 

  

	 	(d)	Subscriber has had the opportunity to discuss the tax consequences of ownership of the Units with her representatives, including her attorney, and/or accountant, if any;


  

	 	(e)	 Subscriber will own the Units solely for Subscriber’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in connection with, 



  










	 	 
any resale or distribution thereof. Subscriber agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Units in violation of the provisions of the
Act. Subscriber has no contract, undertaking, understanding, agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise transfer to any person or otherwise dispose of the Units, or any part thereof, any
interest therein or any rights thereto; the undersigned Subscriber has no present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement; 


  

	 	(f)	Subscriber understands that a notation restricting transfer of the Units will be made on the transfer books of the Company and consents to the placement of a legend on the Units in
a form substantially as follows: 

  
 THE UNITS
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH UNITS ARE REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. 
  
 The foregoing representations and warranties are made by Subscriber and Subscriber hereby agrees that such representations and warranties shall survive
the grant of the Units by the Company to Subscriber. 
  

	5.	Acknowledgments of the Subscriber. Except as expressly set forth herein, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that there have been no representations, guarantees or
warranties, of any nature or kind, whether express or implied, made to her by the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or employees, or by any other person. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber is an employee-at-will,
and nothing herein shall be construed as a guarantee of employment for any amount of time. 

  

	6.	Agreement. As a condition precedent to the grant of the Units pursuant to this Agreement, Subscriber shall execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 

  

	7.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	(a)	Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Notices. All notices or other communications given or made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed in the manner prescribed by, and to the
address(es) set forth in, the Operating Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

  










	 	(c)	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is rendered void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of law for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not void or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws
principles thereof. 

  

	 	(e)	Waiver. No waiver of any term or provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party waiving such term or provision. 

  

	 	(g)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with Exhibit A and Exhibit B, constitutes the entire understanding of the parties, and supercedes any other
agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, in effect with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

  

	 	(h)	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
