Accordingly, the amount or the maximum amount of each component of the fees for Seven Seas‘ services and the calculation method therefore cannot be predetermined. Likewise, costs and expenses relating to assets or funds with respect to which Seven Seas provides services, such as trustee’s fees and other costs and expenses will be determined following discussions with third parties for each transaction. Accordingly, the amount or the maximum amount of each component of such costs and expenses or calculation method can also not be predetermined.
Seven Seas does not, and shall not be construed to, provide any assurances of future performance of assets or funds. Assets with respect to which Seven Seas provides services, such as properties, trust beneficiary interests and interests in funds, may suffer impairment and/or a decrease in value as a result of factors such as fluctuations in interest rates, the market price of real estate assets and rents, as well as fluctuations in the securities, financial instruments or real estate markets. In addition, such assets may suffer impairment and/or a decrease in value by other factors including, without limitation, increases in taxes and public charges, natural disasters and amendment or repeal of laws and regulations. Seven Seas does not, and shall not be construed to provide any assurance of return of invested principal or any yield on investments. Accordingly, recipients will bear the entire risk of impairment and/or decrease in value, whether in general or below the invested principal, of properties, trust beneficiary interests or interests in funds in which they invest.
