The Purchaser acknowledges that all documents, records, and books pertaining to an investment in the Shares have been made available for inspection by such Purchaser and the Advisors, if any. e. The Purchaser and the Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering, the Shares and the Company and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the Advisors, if any. f. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated in this Subscription Agreement and/or as contained in the Disclosure Documents. g. The Purchaser is unaware of, is no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering of the Shares through or as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other 6 5 communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the Offering and is not subscribing for the Shares and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally. h.

The Purchaser, together with the Advisors, have such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable them to utilize the information made available to them in connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto. j. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Shares, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own Advisors (if any). k. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for such Purchaser's own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Shares, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement. l. The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Shares indefinitely because the Shares may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that legends shall be placed on the Shares to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company's stock books. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent of the Company. 7 6 m.

The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Shares involves a number of very significant risks and investment considerations. o. The Purchaser meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an "accredited investor" under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and as set forth on the Accredited Investor Certification contained herein. p. The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and has adequate means for providing for his or her current financial needs and anticipated future needs and possible personal contingencies and emergencies and has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Shares; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation or breach of any law, regulation, agreement to which it is a party or is otherwise bound or of its charter or other organizational documents; such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Shares; the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action; this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; and (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, 8 7 corporation, limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity.

Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or furnishes herewith to the Company is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under Federal and state securities laws in connection with the Offering. The Purchaser will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately (and without a specific request therefor) upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company's issuance of the Shares. r. The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-registered securities. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of his/its net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser. s. No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser in connection with the Offering which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein. t. The Purchaser acknowledges that, even if the Maximum Amount is raised from the sale of the Shares, the net proceeds thereof will provide the Company with the funds to meet only its most immediate needs and that additional funds will be required by the Company (with the consequent dilution of value and/or ownership) through additional equity and/or debt financing(s), and no assurance can be given as to the availability, adequacy or terms of any such financing(s). In the event that the Company does not obtain the requisite funds, it may be necessary for the Company to reduce, suspend or cease certain of its operations. The Purchaser 9 8 acknowledges that the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for its working capital requirements. u.
