I. SUBSCRIPTION FOR SECURITIES; COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

1.1 Subscription for Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell to the Subscriber, such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth on the signature page hereof. The Purchase Price is payable by wire transfer to the Company in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

1.2 Offering Period.

The Offering is being conducted on a “best-efforts” basis.

1.3 Closing. The Company may hold an initial closing (“Initial Closing”) at any time after the receipt of accepted subscriptions from qualified investors prior to the Termination Date. After the Initial Closing, subsequent closings with respect to additional Shares may take place at any time prior to the Termination Date as determined by the Company, with respect to subscriptions accepted prior to the Termination Date (each such closing, together with the Initial Closing, being referred to as a “Closing”). The last Closing of the Offering, occurring on or prior to the Termination Date, shall be referred to as the “Final Closing”. Any subscription documents or funds received after the Final Closing will be returned, without interest or deduction. In the event that the any Closing does not occur prior to the Termination Date, all amounts paid by the Subscriber shall be returned to the Subscriber, without interest or deduction.

II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBER

The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company, with the intent that the Company will rely thereon, that:

2.1 Accredited Investor or Non-U.S. Person The Subscriber is either (i) an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, it is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Shares and the information furnished in the accompanying investor questionnaire, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, is accurate and complete in all material respects or (ii) it is not a U.S. Person (a “Reg S Person”), and the representations contained in the information furnished in the accompanying investor questionnaire, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, is accurate and complete in all material respects.

2.2 Reliance on Exemptions. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or any state agency because it is intended to be an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities.

2.3 Investment Purpose. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares as principal for its own account, and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Person, not for the account or benefit of, directly or indirectly, any U.S. Person. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes only and not with an intent or view towards further sale or distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) thereof, and has not pre-arranged any sale with any other purchaser and has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement. If the Subscriber is a Non-U.S. Person, such Subscriber has no intention to distribute either directly or indirectly any of the Shares in the United States or to U.S. Persons.

2.4 Risk of Investment. The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk in that: (a) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (b) transferability of the Shares is limited; and (c) the Company may require substantial additional funds to operate its business and subsequent equity financings will dilute the ownership and voting interests of Subscriber.

2.5 No Registration. The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available (including, without limitation, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same effect (“Rule 144”)). The Subscriber represents and warrants and hereby agrees that all offers and sales of the Shares shall be made only pursuant to such registration or to such exemption from registration.

2.6 Prior Investment Experience. The Subscriber is sufficiently experienced in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investments, and to make an informed decision relating thereto, and to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

2.7 Information. The Subscriber acknowledges careful review of this Subscription Agreement and exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) as well as the Company’s filings with the Commission, as required pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which are available on the Internet at www.sec.gov, all of which the undersigned acknowledges have been provided to the undersigned. The undersigned has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering and the Offering Documents and to obtain such additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of same as the undersigned reasonably desires in order to evaluate the investment. The undersigned understands the Offering Documents, and the undersigned has had the opportunity to discuss any questions regarding any of the Offering Documents with its counsel or other advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the only information upon which the undersigned has relied is that set forth in the Offering Documents. The undersigned has received no representations or warranties from the Company, its employees, agents or attorneys in making this investment decision other than as set forth in the Offering Documents. The undersigned does not desire to receive any further information.

2.8 Investment Decision. In making the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Documents. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Subscription Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder. The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Shares other than the Offering Documents.

2.9 No Representations. The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company, and in entering into this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.

2.10 Tax Consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering may involve tax consequences and that the contents of the Offering Documents do not contain tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Shares.

2.11 No Recommendation or Endorsement. The Subscriber understands that no federal, state or other regulatory authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Subscription Agreement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

2.12 No General Solicitation. The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber was not induced to invest by any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, but not limited to, the following: (a) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the news or radio; and (b) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or advertising.

2.13 No Directed Selling Efforts. If the Subscriber is a non-U.S. Person, the Subscriber has not acquired the Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Shares; provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares pursuant to registration thereof under the Securities Act and any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements;

2.14 No Plan or Scheme. If the Subscriber is a non-U.S. Person, the Subscriber acknowledges that the statutory and regulatory basis for the exemption from U.S registration requirements claimed for the offer of the Shares, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or provincial securities laws;

EXHIBIT A-2 - REGULATION S PAGE FOR NON-U.S. SUBSCRIBERS

The undersigned Subscriber (a “Reg S Person”) is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and hereby represents that the representations in paragraphs (1) through (9) are true and correct with respect to such Reg S Person.

(1) Such Reg S Person acknowledges and warrants that (i) the issuance and sale to such Reg S Person of the Shares is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S; (ii) it is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S and herein, and is not acquiring the Sharess for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person; and (iii) the offer and sale of the Sharess has not taken place, and is not taking place, within the United States of America or its territories or possessions. Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Shares has taken place, and is taking place in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.

(2) Such Reg S Person acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S, the Shares cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any U.S. Person or within the United States of America or its territories or possessions for a period of six months from and after the Closing Date, unless such Shares are registered for sale in the United States pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration is available. Such Reg S Person acknowledges that it has not engaged in any hedging transactions with regard to the Shares.

(3) Such Reg S Person consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate, note or other document evidencing the Shares and understands that the Company shall be required to refuse to register any transfer of Shares not made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws.

(4) Such Reg S Person is not a “distributor” of securities, as that term is defined in Regulation S, nor a dealer in securities. Such Reg S Person is purchasing the Shares as principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with an intent or view towards further sale or distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) thereof, and has not pre-arranged any sale with any other purchaser and has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.

(5) Such Reg S Person is not an Affiliate of the Company nor is any Affiliate of such Reg S Person an Affiliate of the Company. An “Affiliate” is an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (each of the foregoing, a “Person”) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Reg S Person, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Reg S Person will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Reg S Person.

(6) Such Reg S Person understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and are subject to substantial restrictions on resale or transfer. The Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation S and Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.

(7) Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the Shares may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available. In connection with any resale of the Shares pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.

(8) Such Reg S Person represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Shares, including: (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Such Reg S person’s subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the Shares, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the jurisdiction of its residence.

(9) Such Reg S Person makes the representations, declarations and warranties as contained in this Exhibit A-2 with the intent that the same shall be relied upon by the Company in determining its suitability as a purchaser of such Shares.
