Electronic Delivery of Offering Documents

If you would like to access the Note Offering Documents, including receiving your Quarterly Statements, online rather than receive a copy in the mail, you must provide your informed consent to receive electronic delivery by reviewing the following “Consent to Receive Electronic Offering Documents” and check the “I ACCEPT” box that follows:

The “Offering Documents” consist of the Offering Circular describing the Note Offering, the Subscription Agreement allowing you to complete your purchase of the promissory notes, and Quarterly Statements detailing your account with us. If you prefer to receive the Offering Documents electronically, then we will send them to you via email or on our website. We will provide advance notice to you when we do so.

You should retain a copy of all electronic documents we provide to you, including this Consent, for your future reference.

Your consent is optional, and you may still participate in the Note Offering and receive paper copies of the Offering Documents if you withhold your consent.
