LLC Agreement and under federal and state securities laws. There is no public market for the Membership Interests and none is ever likely to develop. The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act, and the Membership Interests cannot be resold unless either they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Transfers of Membership Interests generally will be subject to the requirement that any transferee meet the investor suitability standards set forth below. Thus, subscribers for Membership Interests should fully understand the consequences of such illiquidity and they should have the financial means sufficient to sustain them through the risks associated with a very speculative, illiquid, long-term investment. Each subscriber for Units must meet the following general investor suitability standards and will be required to represent, among other things, the following by signing the Subscription Agreement: (a) such subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Membership Interests; (b) such subscriber has an adequate means to provide for his or her current needs and personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in this investment and has the ability to bear the substantial economic risks of this investment, including loss of the entire investment; (c) such subscriber is acquiring the Units for his or her own account for a long-term investment and not with a view towards the resale or distribution thereof and has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing, the Membership Interests; (d) such subscriber has read and understands this Private Placement Memorandum and all accompanying Exhibits; and (e) such subscriber is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the principals of the Managing Member.
