<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">To the extent the new entity operates in a state other than Delaware, it may be subject to the laws of its home jurisdiction. While many attorneys, in my experience, claim to
be able to advise on corporate law of a jurisdiction in which they are not barred there is a significant risk, in my opinion, when a company relies on the expertise of someone across the country. As you may appreciate, corporate law is not a federal practice
and, thus, is not portable as some attorneys allege while risking UPL sanctions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
