As the number of purchasers increases and their relationship to the company and its management becomes more remote, it is more difficult to show that the transaction qualifies for the exemption."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The site goes on to explain that "Rule 506, another 'safe harbor' rule, provides objective standards that you can rely on to meet the requirements of this exemption."&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anthony Cerminaro</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 17 Dec 2004 02:13:15 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
