I agree that if I type my name into a field identified as complying with the E-SIGN act of 2000, I understand that its rendering onto any document that is preceded by “/s/” is the legal equivalent of my handwritten signature recorded with ink. I agree that any time I click or have clicked on an "I Agree," "I Enroll" or other similarly worded button or entry field with my mouse, keystroke or other device, whether I have been prompted for my entered initials or not, my agreement or consent is legally binding and enforceable against me and is the legal equivalent of my handwritten signature on an agreement that is printed on paper. I agree to be bound by any affirmation, assent or agreement that I transmit, or have transmitted, to or through this website (the "Platform") by computer or other electronic device, including internet, telephonic and wireless devices, including but not limited to any consent I give or have given to receive communications from Silicon Prairie Holdings Inc. or any of its affiliates, including Silicon Prairie Portal & Exchange LLC, as applicable ("Silicon Prairie Online") solely through electronic transmission.
I consent to electronic delivery and understand that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notices, disclosures, forms, privacy statements, reports or other communications, including any tax-related information or documents to the extent provided below (collectively, "Communications"), regarding the investments available on the Platform, and my investment in any such investments, may be delivered by electronic means, such as by electronic mail (“email”) or through the Platform. In so consenting, I acknowledge that email messages are not secure and may contain computer viruses or other defects, may not be accurately replicated on other systems or may be intercepted, deleted or interfered with, with or without the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient. I also acknowledge that an email from Silicon Prairie Online may be accessed by recipients other than me and may be interfered with, may contain computer viruses or other defects and may not be successfully replicated on other systems. I understand that Silicon Prairie Online gives no warranties in relation to these matters.
I consent to the electronic delivery of tax documents such as Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 1099-INT or Schedule K-1 through the Platform. I understand that I may withdraw this consent before my tax document is furnished. In providing this consent, I also acknowledge that I have reviewed Silicon Prairie Online's Information on the Electronic Delivery of Tax Documents, included below.
I further understand and agree to each of the following:
-
As long as my consent remains in effect, Silicon Prairie Online may provide all Communications to me electronically in lieu of providing paper Communications.
-
Electronic Communications may be provided to me via email and/or the Platform. In order to view and retain the Communications, my computer hardware and software must, at a minimum, be capable of accessing the Internet, with connectivity to an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) or any other capable communications medium, and with software capable of viewing and printing a Portable Document Format (“PDF”).
-
I must maintain a current personal email address capable of sending and receiving email messages to and from Silicon Prairie Online.
-
To print the documents, I will need access to a printer compatible with my hardware and the required software.
-
To facilitate these services, I must provide Silicon Prairie Online with my current email address and update that information as necessary. Unless otherwise required by law, I will be deemed to have received any electronic Communications that are sent to the most current email address that I have provided to Silicon Prairie Online.
-
Silicon Prairie Online will not assume liability for non-receipt of notification of the availability of electronic Communications in the event my email address on file is invalid, my email or ISP filters the notification as "spam" or "junk mail," there is a malfunction in my computer, browser, Internet service and/or software, or for any other reasons beyond the control of Silicon Prairie Online.
-
I may withdraw my consent to receive Communications in electronic form by calling Silicon Prairie Online at 651.645.7550. If I withdraw my consent to receive Communications in electronic form, Silicon Prairie Online may, at its option and in its sole discretion:
-
(A) terminate my account with Silicon Prairie Online that was created through the Platform ("My Account"),
-
(B) restrict or limit the actions I may take through or with respect to My Account, including, but not limited to, restricting my ability to make investments through My Account, and
-
(C) charge me a fee of $5 for each paper copy of each Communication that would have been provided to me electronically if I had not withdrawn my consent. Any withdrawal of my consent to receive electronic Communications will not affect or impact in any way the terms of this Agreement or my agreement to the Terms of Use Agreement for the Platform.

Information on Electronic Delivery of Tax Documents
These provisions relate to my consent above to Silicon Prairie Online's provision of tax documents to me electronically. Prior to furnishing the tax documents electronically, the IRS requires that Silicon Prairie Online provide each investor with the following information:

If I do not consent to receive the tax document electronically, a paper copy will be provided.
-
My consent continues for every tax year until I withdraw my consent.
-
I may log into My Account at the Platform to access and print my tax documents. I may need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the document and a device connected to my computer that can print.

-
To withdraw consent, I may call Silicon Prairie Online at 651.645.7550 to request to withdraw my consent.
