Irrespective of any documentation contained within this Website from time to time, offerings of franchise acquisitions or dispositions, real estate and interests in the same including, without limitation, through entities sponsored, formed and/or controlled by The Fund, are made only by private placement memorandum and related subscription documents and/or other definitive offering documents, distributed by persons authorized by The Fund, and only in those jurisdictions where permitted by the Securities Act of 1933 and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or (b) state ‘Blue Sky’ counterparts thereto (the preceding (a) and (b), collectively, the “Securities Laws”) and any other applicable statutes and regulations.
Except as expressly set forth by The Fund in writing, from time to time, this Website will be used as an electronic data room repository for information otherwise made available by The Fund in hardcopy and this Website will not be used by The Fund to prepare, publish, convey, disseminate or otherwise make available any reports regarding estate planning, financial planning, securities, real estate investments and/or interests in the same.

This Website, inclusive of any information contained, referenced and/or linked within is not intended as investment advice. Subscribers are advised to consult their independent advisors for such advice.
Real Estate Risks and Asset Performance Information
Acquisitions of franchise interests, real estate and interests in real estate, including subscriptions for interests in franchises, real estate funds, joint ventures, fractional ownership and/or syndication structures, are illiquid, subject to a substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for many investors. A subscription for any such interest actually sponsored or offered by The Fund is subject to a variety of risks, certain of which are disclosed in each such interest’s private placement memorandum or other applicable offering document.
Investment Risks; No Advice Provided
Investments involve significant risks. Users should pay particular attention to the disclaimers and/or risk factors expressly set forth on any document associated with an investment. Users should not construe any contents of this Website as legal, tax, financial, accounting, investment or other related advice. Users will have, and should avail themselves of, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers and additional information about any investment to verify information provided in connection with any potential investment.
Reliance on Own Review
In making a decision to participate and/or subscribe for an interest in any The Fund sponsored estate plan, franchise acquisition or disposition, real estate asset and/or fund including, without limitation, users and investors must rely on their own examination of the asset, fund and/or operating entity and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. No interest in any asset or fund described on this Website has been recommended or approved by any federal, state or foreign securities commission, regulatory authority or agency. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of any document hosted and/or otherwise contained on this Website. Any representation to the contrary is untrue and would constitute a criminal offense.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and is no guarantee of future returns.
Return objectives are only targets based upon one or more assumptions regarding the performance of our estate planning, financial planning, franchise acquisition and real estate interests and such assumptions may prove to be inaccurate and objectives and/or projections based thereon may not be achieved. Any performance data presented within this Website represents unaudited estimates and such data is based on information prepared by The Fund and/or third-party sources including, without limitation, management companies and consultants engaged by The Fund; provided, in addition, such information is calculated and presented as of, and expressly limited to, the date of posting, publication and/or any earlier referenced preparation date as set forth thereon. Such information may be inaccurate or incomplete. The investment strategies and risk characteristics of The Fund’s estate planning, financial planning, franchise acquisition or disposition services and real estate interests are unique to their specific facts and circumstances; therefore, comparisons of the performance of one to another may be misleading or ineffectual. Individual returns may vary due to the timing of capital contributions and withdrawals, side investments, tax withholding, special allocations of new issues and/or different fee arrangements.
Any information you receive from The Fund or to which you are permitted to access, is believed by management to be reliable. Nevertheless, neither The Fund nor its agents are liable for any deficiencies in the accuracy, adequacy, completeness, availability, relevance, reliability, currency or timeliness of such information.

Any past investment performance data contained on this Website for transactions, funds or projects previously sponsored and/or managed by The Fund (i) has been provided by The Fund and other sources and has not been independently verified in any way, (ii) is historical data and, as with all investments, past investment performance does not guarantee future results, and investment results may vary substantially over any given time period and (iii) there can be no assurances that any estate plans, financial plans, franchise acquisition or disposition plans or real estate asset(s) will be able to implement their investment strategies or achieve their objectives. Actual realized returns will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the assets’ value and market conditions at the time of disposition, legal and contractual restrictions on transfer that may limit liquidity, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale. Any projections or other estimates in contained on this Website, including estimates of returns or performance, are “forward-looking statements” and are based upon certain assumptions. Other events, which were not taken into account, may occur and may significantly affect the analyses. Any assumptions should not be construed to be indicative of the actual events that will occur. Actual events are difficult to predict and may depend upon factors that are beyond The Fund’s control. Accordingly, The Fund cannot make any assurances that estimated returns or projections can be realized or that actual returns or results will not be materially lower than those estimated herein. Users and any investors should conduct their own analysis using such assumptions as they deem appropriate and should fully consider other available information. Users and any investors can identify forward-looking statements on any documentation contained on the Website by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “seek,” “target,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.
