The Subscriber (i) is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D or (ii) if the Subscriber is not an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D, the amount of Class A Units being purchased by the Subscriber does not exceed 10% of the greater of the Subscriber’s annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of the Subscriber’s annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year end (for non-natural persons). The Subscriber agrees to provide to the Company any additional documentation the Company may reasonably request, including documentation as may be required by the Company to form a reasonable basis that the Subscriber qualifies as an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule501 under Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

3.2        The Subscriber, if an entity, is, and shall at all times while it holds Class A Units remain, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or other jurisdiction of the United States of America of its incorporation or organization, having full power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as conducted. The Subscriber, if a natural person, is eighteen(18) years of age or older and competent to enter into a contractual obligation. The principal place of business or principal residence of the Subscriber is as shown herein in this Agreement.

3.3       The Subscriber has the requisite power and authority to deliver this Agreement, perform his, her or its obligations set forth herein, and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Subscriber has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and has obtained the necessary authorization to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his, her or its obligations herein and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement, assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by the Company, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

3.4        At no time has it been expressly or implicitly represented, guaranteed or warranted to the Subscriber by the Company or any other person that:

(a) A percentage of profit and/or amount or type of gain or other consideration will be realized as a result of this investment; or

(b) The past performance or experience on the part of The Company and/or its officers or directors in any way indicates the predictable or probable results of the ownership of the Class A Units or the overall The Company venture.

3.5       The Subscriber has received and reviewed this Agreement and the Offering Circular. The Subscriber and/or the Subscriber’s advisors, who are not affiliated with and not compensated directly or indirectly by the Company or an affiliate thereof, have such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters as will enable them to utilize the information which they have received in connection with the Company and its business to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment, to make an informed investment decision and to protect the Subscriber’s own interests in connection with the Purchase.

3.6       The Subscriber understands that the Class A Units being purchased are a speculative investment which involves a substantial degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment in the Class A Units, and the Subscriber understands and is fully cognizant of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Class A Units.

3.8       The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Class A Units being purchased and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is able to hold the Class A Units being purchased for an indefinite period of time. The Subscriber has adequate means to provide for the Subscriber’s current needs and personal contingencies and has a sufficient net worth to sustain the loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment in the Company.

Further, all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber.

3.11       The Subscriber is subscribing for and purchasing the Class A Units without being furnished any offering materials, other than the Offering Circular, and this Agreement, and such other related documents, agreements or instruments as may be attached to the foregoing documents as exhibits or supplements thereto, or as the Subscriber has otherwise requested from the Company in writing, and without receiving any representations or warranties from The Company or its agents and representatives other than the representations and warranties contained in said documents, and is making this investment decision solely in reliance upon the information contained in said documents and upon any investigation made by the Subscriber or the Subscriber’s advisors.

3.12       The Subscriber’s true and correct full legal name, address of residence (or, if an entity, principal place of business), phone number, electronic mail address, United States taxpayer identification number, if any, and other contact information are accurately provided on herein.

The Subscriber has no agreement or other arrangement, formal or informal, with any person or entity to sell, transfer or pledge any part of the Class A Units, or which would guarantee the Subscriber any profit, or insure against any loss with respect to the Class A Units, and the Subscriber has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.

3.14       The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby and the performance of the obligations thereunder and hereunder will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under any provision of any other agreement or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or any license, permit, franchise, judgment, order, writ or decree, or any statute, rule or regulation, applicable to the Subscriber. The Subscriber confirms that the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, the Subscriber’s Purchase, will not violate any foreign law and that such transactions are lawful in the Subscriber’s country of citizenship and residence.

3.15       The Company’ intent is to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws designed to combat money laundering and similar illegal activities, including the provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”). The Subscriber agrees that, if at any time it is discovered that the Company has been or may be found to have violated the PATRIOT Act or any other anti-money laundering laws or regulations as a result of the Purchase or receipt of the Purchase Price, or if otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations, the Company may undertake appropriate actions, and the Subscriber agrees to cooperate with such actions, to ensure compliance with such laws or regulations, including, but not limited to segregation and/or redemption of the Subscriber’s interest in the Class A Units.

3.16       The Subscriber confirms that the Subscriber has been advised to consult with the Subscriber’s independent attorney regarding legal matters concerning the Company and to consult with independent tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of investing in The Company.

The Subscriber’s subscription and Purchase of and continued beneficial ownership of the Class A Units will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction.

3.18       The Subscriber acknowledges that the Purchase Price per Class A Unit to be sold in this offering was set by The Company on the basis of The Company’ internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. The Subscriber further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that the Subscriber’s investment will bear a lower valuation.
