None of Harvard or, to the best of Harvard’s knowledge or belief, any of the persons listed in Exhibit A has, during the past five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). Neither Harvard, nor to the best of Harvard’s knowledge and belief, any of the persons listed in Exhibit A has, during the past five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
