(c)Transfer Restrictions; Liquidity.  The Subscriber acknowledges that the transferability of the Series A Preferred Units is severely limited and that the Subscriber must continue to bear the economic risk of this subscription for an indefinite period as the Series A Preferred Units have not been registered under the 1933 Act or under any other state securities laws, and therefore cannot be offered or sold unless they are subsequently registered under such acts or an exemption from such registration is available and the Subscriber has obtained an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner that such registration is not required in connection with any such transaction.  The Subscriber is in such a financial condition that it has no need for liquidity with respect to a subscription in the Series A Preferred Units and no need to dispose of any portion of the Series A Preferred Units subscribed for hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness.  The Subscriber hereby represents that, at the present time, the Subscriber could afford a complete loss of its subscription in the Series A Preferred Units.

(f)Independent Evaluation of Subscription.  No representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber concerning the Partnership, its business, or the Series A Preferred Units by the Partnership, the General Partner, any affiliate of the Partnership or the General Partner, or any agent, officer, or employee of any of them, or by any other person, and in entering into this Agreement the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than the results of the Subscriber’s own independent investigation and due diligence.  In this regard, the Subscriber has made its own inquiry and analysis (on its own or with the assistance of others) with respect to the Partnership and its business, the Series A Preferred Units, the LP Agreement, and other material factors affecting the Series A Preferred Units.  Based on such information and
