13.18 investment representations. the undersigned equity owners, if any, understand (1) that the ownership interests evidenced by this agreement have not been registered under the securities act of 1933, the state securities act or any other state securities laws (the 'securities acts') because the company is issuing these ownership interests in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the securities acts providing for issuance of securities not involving a public offering, (2) that the company has relied upon the fact that the ownership interests are to be held by each equity owner for investment, and (3) that exemption from registrations under the securities acts would not be available if the ownership interests were acquired by an equity owner with a view to distribution.

accordingly, each equity owner hereby confirms to the company that such equity owner is acquiring the ownership interests for such own equity owner's account, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. each equity owner agrees not to sell or offer for sale any portion of the ownership interests unless there is an effective registration or other qualification relating thereto under the securities act of 1933 and under any applicable state securities laws or unless the holder of ownership interests delivers to the company an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the company, that such registration or other qualification under such act and applicable state securities laws is not required in connection with such offer or sale. each equity owner understands that the company is under no obligation to register the ownership interests or to assist such equity owner in complying with any exemption from registration under the securities act if such equity owner should at a later date, wish to dispose of the ownership interest. furthermore, each member realizes that the ownership interests are unlikely to qualify for disposition under rule 144 of the securities and exchange commission unless such equity owner is not an 'affiliate' of the company and the ownership interest has been beneficially owned and fully paid for by such equity owner for at least three years.
