volume of any sales of the Shares will depend on the market price for the
Common Stock and other market conditions at any particular time, as well as
HMRI's evaluation of the Issuer's business, prospects, and financial
condition, other opportunities available to HMRI, prospects for HMRI's own
business, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions,
