(e) Owner has been advised by the Partnership that: (i) neither the offer nor sale of the Units have been registered under the Act or any state or foreign securities and “blue sky” laws; (ii) the Units are characterized as a “restricted security” under the Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Partnership in a transaction not involving a public offering; (iii) the Units must be held indefinitely and such Owner must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Units, unless the offer and sale of such Units are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available and all applicable state or foreign securities and “blue sky” laws are complied with; (iv) it is not anticipated that there will be any public market for the Units in the foreseeable future; (v) Rule 144 promulgated under the Act is not presently available with respect to offers or sales of the securities of the Partnership and the Partnership has not covenanted to make such Rule available nor has it made any covenants with respect to other rules by which offers or sales may be made; (vi) when and if the Units may be disposed of without registration under the Act in reliance on Rule 144, such disposition can be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Rule; and (vii) if the Rule 144 exemption is not available, public offer or sale of the Units without registration will require the availability of another exemption under the Act.

(f) Owner is (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in the Act and (ii) has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits, risks and consequences of an investment in the Units and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of this investment.
