I seek a significant increase in the principal value of my investments and are willing to accept a corresponding greater degree of risk by investing in securities that have historically demonstrated a high degree of risk of loss of principal value to pursue this objective.
( ) I understand that an investment in the Notes is a long-term investment. I have no current or anticipated need for liquidity in my investment in the Notes that would require me to liquidate my investment over a shorter period of time and I can afford a loss of my entire investment in the Notes.
