The Subscriber agrees to purchase the Common Stock upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the offering of the Common Stock (the “Offering”) is being made without registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any securities “blue sky” or other similar laws of any state (“State Securities Laws”).

(iv)  The Subscriber realizes that the Common Stock cannot readily be sold as the shares of Common Stock are restricted securities, that it may not be possible to sell or dispose of the Common Stock and therefore the Common Stock must not be purchased unless the Subscriber has liquid assets sufficient to assure that such purchase will cause no undue financial difficulties and the Subscriber can provide for current needs and personal contingencies.

(v)  The Subscriber confirms and represents that it is able (a) to bear the economic risk of this investment, (b) to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time, and (c) to afford a complete loss of this investment.

(vii)  Subscriber is purchasing the Common Stock for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with view to any public resale or other distribution thereof. Subscriber acknowledges that it is an Accredited Investor as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Act. Subscriber and its representatives have received, or have had access to, and have had sufficient opportunity to review, all books, records, financial information and other information which Subscriber considers necessary or advisable to enable it to make a decision concerning its purchase of the Common Stock, and that it possesses such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment hereunder.

Additionally, the Subscriber understands that any sale by the Subscriber of any of the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Agreement will, under current law, require either: (a) the registration of the Common Stock under the Act and applicable state securities acts; (b) compliance with Rule 144 of the Act; or (c) the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company has not undertaken and does not presently intend to file a Registration Statement to register the Common Stock purchased hereunder. The Subscriber hereby agrees to execute, deliver, furnish or otherwise provide to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to any subsequent transfer of the Common Stock, that such transfer will not violate the registration requirements of the federal or state securities acts.
