3.3. Investment Experience. Such Investor acknowledges that the purchase of the Transaction Securities is a highly speculative investment and that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Transaction Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

3.5 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Transaction Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
