(a) the offer and sale of the Co-Investment Units have not been registered under the Securities Act;
(b) the Co-Investment Units must be held indefinitely and Executive must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Co-Investment Units unless the offer and sale of such Co-Investment Units are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available (or as otherwise provided in the LLC Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement);
(c) there is no established market for the Co-Investment Units and it is not anticipated that there will be any public market for the Co-Investment Units in the foreseeable future; and
(d) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the Co-Investment Units are subject to restrictions on transfer and, if the Company should at some time in the future engage the services of a securities transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer instructions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to the Co-Investment Units.
3.2 Additional Investment Representations. Executive represents and warrants that:
(a) Executive’s financial situation is such that Executive can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Co-Investment Units for an indefinite period of time, has adequate means for providing for Executive’s current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer a complete loss of Executive’s investment in the Co-Investment Units;
4
(b) Executive’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that Executive is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Co-Investment Units;

(f) all information which Executive has provided to the Company and the Company’s representatives concerning Executive and Executive’s financial position is complete and correct as of the date of this Agreement; and

3.3 Other Representations. Executive acknowledges that the Sponsor and its Affiliates may, from time to time, provide services to the Company and its Affiliates for which a fee will be paid by the Company or its Affiliates, including an annual monitoring/advisory fee. Such services and fees will be in accordance with the terms of the agreement covering services and fees and related matters as previously provided to Executive (the “Services Agreement”), or in accordance with the terms of another agreement, provided that the terms of any other agreement are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Services Agreement.

Any transfer or attempted transfer of Co-Investment Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Co-Investment Units as the owner of such Co-Investment Units for any purpose.
