PARTNER, KEITER. MR. LEWIS IS EMPLOYED FULL TIME BY KEITER, A VIRGINIA-BASED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. HE IS NOT EMPLOYED BY THE COLONY GROUP ("COLONY"), EVEN THOUGH COLONY HAS REGISTERED MR. LEWIS AS AN INVESTMENT ADVISER REPRESENTATIVE ("IAR"). KEITER HAS A REFERRAL/SOLICITOR AGREEMENT IN PLACE WITH COLONY. VIRGINIA'S SECURITIES LAW REQUIRES THAT AN INDIVIDUAL MAKING A SOLICITATION TO AN SEC-REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISORY FIRM IS REGISTERED AS AN IAR. MR. LEWIS' CONNECTION TO COLONY IS ONLY FOR PURPOSES OF REGISTRATION SO THAT HE MAY MAKE CLIENT REFERRALS. COLONY'S RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS ARRANGEMENT IS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 206-4(3) OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISER ACT.
