Who May Invest

General
An investment in the Loan involves a degree of risk and is appropriate only for persons having suitable financial resources who understand the long term nature of, and risk factors associated with such investment. No public market for the resale of the Loan exists or is expected to develop.
Participation in the Loan is being offered in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") as a transaction not involving any public offering provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated there under ("Regulation D"). As a consequence, participants will be prohibited from reselling their participation unless the Securities are subsequently registered or, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Lender, an exemption from such registration is available under the applicable federal and state laws.
As a result of the lack of marketability of the Loan and the risks associated with an investment in the Loan, participation is suitable only for investors who have other adequate financial resources. Accordingly, subscriptions will be accepted only from prospective investors for whom the Lender, in its sole discretion, determines the investment to be suitable.

Suitability
The Lender will accept participation, only from Accredited Investors. An investor will be deemed an Accredited Investor only if he or it, as the case may be, meets one of the following tests: (1) he is a natural person who has, at the time of his participation, a net worth or joint net worth with his spouse exceeding $1,000,000; (2) he is a natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 or joint income with his spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of the two most recent years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year; (3) it is either (a) a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Act or any saving and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity, (b) a broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (c) an insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the Act, (d) an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of such Act, (e) a Small Business Investment Company licensed by the United States Small Business Adminis-tration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment act of 1958 or (f) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Income Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which plan fiduciary is either a bank, saving and loan association, insurance company or registered investment advisor or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solelyby persons that are Accredited investors; (4) it is a private business development company as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940; or (5) an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust or partnership not formed for the specific purpose of participation with total assets in excess of $5,000,000; (6) a trust, with total assets in excessof $5,000,000 not formed for the specific purpose of participating in the Loan, whose participation is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in loan participation; or (7) it is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity and each and every equity owner of such entity certifies that he meets the qualifications set forth in either (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) above.

In addition, an individual investor, or each equity owner of an entity described in clause (7) of the proceeding paragraph, must either (i) have a net worth of $1,000,000 at the time of his participation and an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the most recent two years and a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year or (ii) have a net worth of $2,000,000 at the time of his participation and an individual income in excess of $100,000 in each of the most recent two years and a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.

In the attached Participation Agreement, the term "net worth" means the excess of total assets at fair market value, excluding home and home furnishings, over total liabilities excluding home mortgages, but including estimated income taxes payable on unrealized appreciation of assets. In determining income, "individual income" and "joint income" mean adjusted gross income as reported for federal income tax purposes (less any income attributable to a spouse, or to property owned by a spouse in the case of "individual income") increased by the following amounts (but not including any amounts attributable to a spouse or to property owned by a spouse in the case of "individual income"): (i) the amount of any interest income received which is tax exempt under Section 103 of the Code; (ii) the amount of losses claimed as a limited partner in a limited partnership (as reported on Schedule E of Form 1040); (iii) any deduction claimed for depletion under Section 611 et seq. of the Code; and (iv) any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income pursuant to the provisions of Section 1202 of the Code.

In addition, participation will be permitted only to persons who represent, among other things (i) that they are participating in the Loan for their own accounts, for investment only and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof, (ii) that they have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable, either alone or together with one or more advisors, of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in participating in such Loan(s), (iii) that they and their advisors have been provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of such participation and to obtain any additional information which Lender possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished to it, (iv) that they are aware that the securities concerning the Loan have not been registered under the Act, (v) that they are aware that their right to transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of their interest in the Loan is restricted by the Act and by applicable state securities laws, (vi) that they are aware there is no market for the securities and that no such market may ever develop and (vii) that they are persons of substantial financial means who have no need for liquidity in and are prepared to lost their entire investment in the Loan.

Subject to the provisions of their plan documents, the participation in Loans may be a suitable investment for (1) qualified pension, profit-sharing and other employee retirement benefit plans (including Keogh Plans), (ii) trusts and bank commingled trust funds for such plans and (iii) assuming the provisions of their governing instruments and the nature of their tax exemptions permit such an investment, other entities exempt from federal income taxation, such as individual retirement accounts, endowment funds and foundations and charitable, religious, scientific or educational organization, all of which are hereinafter referred to collectively as "Tax-Exempt Entities". Fiduciaries of Tax-Exempt Entities, in consultation with their advisors, should carefully consider (i) whether participation is consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities, (ii) the effect of the possible treatment of such participation in loans as "Co-Lenders" and (iii) other tax risks.

The satisfaction of the suitability standards referred to above does not necessarily mean that the participation is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. The Lender may make or cause to be made such further inquiry and obtain such additional information as it deems appropriate with regard to the suitability of prospective investors. The Lender, in its absolute discretion, may reject subscriptions, in whole or in part or allot to a particular investor less than the amount subscribed for. The Lender reserves the right to modify or waive (other than for New York investors and other than with respect to "Accredited Investors" standards set forth in Regulation D) or increase the suitability standards with respect to certain investors, in order to comply with any applicable state or local laws, rules or regulations or otherwise.
