Revisions to Suitability Standards in North Carolina
As of January 18, 2008, we will not sell shares to investors in North Carolina unless they meet the following special suitability standards:
Investors must have either (1) a net worth of at least $250,000, or (2) gross annual income of at least $70,000 and a net worth of at least $70,000.
For purposes of determining suitability of an investor, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investors home, furnishings and automobiles. In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, these suitability standards must be met by the fiduciary account, by the person who directly or indirectly supplied the funds for the purchase of the shares if such person is the fiduciary or by the beneficiary of the account.
The Sponsor and those selling shares on our behalf must make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of shares in this offering is a suitable and appropriate investment for each stockholder based on information provided by the stockholder regarding the stockholders financial situation and investment objectives.
