3.6
The Subscriber is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables the Subscriber to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.

3.8
The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company.
3.9
The Subscriber understands that (i) the offering contemplated hereby has not been reviewed by any Federal, state or other governmental body or agency; (ii) if required by the laws or regulations of said state(s) or other jurisdiction the offering contemplated hereby will be submitted to the appropriate authorities of such state(s) or other jurisdiction for registration or exemption therefrom; and (iii) subscription documents used in connection with this offering have not been reviewed or approved by any regulatory agency or government department, nor has any such agency or government department made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the Securities for investment.
3.10
The Subscriber is aware that the Securities have not been registered under the Act. While the Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the market for its shares of Common Stock is limited and/or illiquid. Subscriber understands that there is no market for the Company’s Class F and Class G Warrants and none is expected to develop. The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for the Subscriber's current needs and personal and family contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the investment contemplated hereby, and is able to bear the risk of loss of his entire investment.

3.12
All information that the Subscriber has provided the Company concerning the Subscriber, the Subscriber's financial position and the Subscriber's knowledge of financial and business matters is correct and complete as of the date hereof. The Subscriber agrees that financial and other information concerning the Subscriber may be disclosed by the Company to any persons or entities that may enter into a transaction with the Company. The Subscriber further agrees, if requested by the Company or its authorized representative, to provide bank references or other confirming information concerning the Subscriber's financial information as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
3.13
The Subscriber is familiar with the nature and extent of the risks inherent in investments in unregistered securities and in the business in which the Company is engaged and intends to engage and recognizes and understands all of the risks relating to the purchase of the securities and has determined that an investment in the Company is consistent with the Subscriber's investment objectives and income prospects.
3.14
The Subscriber understands that the total amount of funds tendered to purchase the Securities are unsecured and are placed at the risk of the business and may be completely lost. Subscriber has read the Company’s filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, but not limited to, the description of the risk factors applicable to the Company and its businesses set forth therein.
3.15
The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments including the Subscriber’s investment in the Company that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and the Subscriber’s investment in the securities described herein will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The Subscriber understands that the statutory basis on which such Securities are being offered, sold and/or issued to the Subscriber would not be available if the Subscriber’s present intention were to hold such securities for a fixed period of time or until the occurrence of a certain event. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase of such securities now, with a present intention to resell by reason of a foreseeable specific contingency or any anticipated change in the market value of such securities, or in the condition of the Company or that of the industry in which the business of the Company is engaged or in connection with a contemplated liquidation, or settlement of any loan obtained by the Subscriber for the acquisition of such securities, and for which such securities may be pledged as a security or as donations to religious or charitable institutions for the purpose of securing a deduction on an income tax return, would, in fact, constitute a purchase with an intention inconsistent with the Subscriber’s representations to the Company and the SEC would then regard such purchase as a purchase for which the exemption from registration under the Securities Act relied upon by the Company in connection herewith is not available.
3.16
The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has the unconditional right to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part. The Company will notify the Subscriber whether this subscription is accepted or rejected. If such subscription is rejected, payment will be returned to the Subscriber.
3.17
If the Subscriber is a corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an individual person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the specific purpose of purchasing the Securities and is not prohibited from doing so.
3.18
If the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities in a fiduciary capacity for another person or entity, including without limitation a corporation, partnership, trust or any other entity, the Subscriber has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Subscription Agreement and all other subscription documents, and such other person or entity fulfills all the requirements for purchase of the Securities as such requirements are set forth herein, concurs in the purchase of the Securities and agrees to be bound by
4
the obligations, representations, warranties and covenants contained herein. Upon request of the Company, the Subscriber will provide true, complete and current copies of all relevant documents creating the Subscriber, authorizing its investment in the Company and/or evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.
3.19
The Subscriber recognizes that the Company may seek to raise additional financing and working capital through a variety of sources, and that although the Company may undertake one or more public or private offerings of its shares of Common Stock, debt or equity securities, there can be no assurance that any such offering will be made or, if made, that it will be successful. Moreover, the Company reserves the right to make future offers, either public or private, of securities including shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at prices that may be more than or less than the price per share Subscriber is paying for the shares of Common Stock included in the Units or upon exercise of the Warrants.
3.20
The Subscriber agrees to maintain in confidence all information furnished to Subscriber by the Company regarding the Company.
4.
Indemnification. The Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company's officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) which they, or any of them, may incur by reason of the Subscriber's failure to fulfill any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or by reason of the Subscriber's breach of any of his representations and warranties contained herein. This Agreement and the representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon the Subscriber's heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns. THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSCRIBER HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES IS DEEMED TO BE VOID AS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AND THEREBY UNENFORCEABLE IN SOME STATES.
5.
Arbitration Agreement.
5.1
