transactions contemplated by this Agreement or under any instruments to be

hereby incorporated by reference and the disclosures contained therein
specifically made a part of this Agreement. None of the SEC

subscription agreements are exempt from the registration requirements of the Act
and applicable state securities laws, and neither the Company nor any authorized
agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action hereafter that
would cause the loss of such exemption.
5. RISK FACTORS. THE SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE UNITS AND THAT
SUCH SECURITIES ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED BY ANYONE WHO
CANNOT AFFORD A TOTAL LOSS OF HIS OR HER ENTIRE
INVESTMENT. The Subscriber represents and warrants that he or
she has carefully considered and reviewed all the information contained within
the reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(available at xxx.xxx.xxx)
and the following risks in reaching a determination to purchase the
Units:
The Company has a Lack of Operating
History.
Cavalier is a development stage
enterprise, with no operations. Cavalier was incorporated on February 7,
2007, and is a blank check company with no operating history and no revenue to date. Accordingly,
Cavalier has a no operating history upon which to base an
evaluation of its business and prospects. To address these risks, Cavalier must successfully implement
Emissary’s business plan and marketing strategies.
Cavalier may not successfully implement all or
any of Emissary’s
business strategies or
successfully address the risks and uncertainties that Cavalier encounters.
7
The Company’s future operations will be
subject to Market Risks.
The profitability of a significant
portion of the Company's investment program depends to a great extent upon
correctly assessing the future course of the price movements of securities and
other investments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to predict accurately these price movements. Although the
Company may attempt to mitigate market risk through the use of long and short
positions or other methods, there may be a significant degree of market
risk. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity in the Company’s
investments or markets in which the Company invests may impair the Company’s
ability to carry out its investment strategies or may cause the Company to incur
losses.
The
Company’s future success will be subject to the Nature of its
Investments.
The Company will have broad discretion
in making investments and the projects it undertakes. There can be no
assurance that the Company will correctly evaluate the nature and
magnitude of the various factors that could affect the value of and return on
investments. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of
factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic or
international economic and political developments, may significantly affect the
results of the Company’s activities and the value of its
investments. In addition, the value of the Company’s investments may
fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuates. No
guarantee or representation is made that the Company’s investment objective will
be achieved.
Substantially all of the Company’s
assets will be invested in securities, some of which may be particularly
sensitive to economic, interest-rate, market, industry and other variable
conditions. No assurance can be given as to when or whether adverse
events might occur which could cause immediate and significant losses to the
Company.
The
Company’s Investments may be subject to Small-Cap Risks.
At times, the securities of small-cap
issuers may offer the potential for greater capital appreciation than
investments in securities of large-cap issuers, but they may present greater
risks as well. Small-cap issuers are often businesses with limited
product lines, markets and financial resources. They may be dependent
for management on one or a few key persons. Their securities may be
thinly traded and therefore have to be sold at a discount from current market
prices or sold in small lots over an extended period of time. They
may be subject to wider price swings and thus may create a greater chance of
loss than when investing in securities of larger-cap
issuers. Transaction costs in securities of small-cap issuers are
usually higher than in those of larger-cap issuers.
There is a risk that
the Company may not be able to continue as a Going Concern.
In their report for the year ended
December 31,
2007, our independent
registered public accounting firm stated that our significant losses from
operations as of December
31, 2007 raised substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Since that time, we have continued to experience losses
from operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our
ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside
sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities,
increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial
institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses and
stockholders’ deficiency increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there
can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. If
working capital is not available, the Company may be unable to commence
operations.
8
There
is no public market for the Company’s Common Stock and prospective investors may
not be able to resell their shares at or above the offering price, if at
all.
There is
no market for the Company’s Common Stock and no assurance can be given that an
active trading market will develop for the Common Stock or, if one does develop,
that it will be maintained. In the absence of a public trading
market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in the
Company. The offering price of this Offering is not indicative of
future market prices.
Investors
purchasing Units in this Offering will pay a price that was not established in a
competitive market. The public market may not agree with or accept
this valuation, in which case investors may not be able to sell the shares of
common stock included in the Units at or above the offering price, if at
all. The market price of the Common Stock may fluctuate significantly
in response to factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control,
including the following:
·
|
Actual
or anticipated variations in operating
results;
|
·
|
New
products or services that Emissary or its competitors
offer;
|
·
|
Changes
in financial estimates by securities
analysts;
|
·
|
Global
unrest and terrorist activities;
|
·
|
General
economic conditions in our primary
markets;
|
·
|
Changes
in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other similarly
situated companies;
|
·
|
The
Company’s announcement of significant acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
·
|
Additions
or departures of key personnel; and
|
·
|
Sales
or other transactions involving the Company’s common
stock.
|
Even if a trading market is developed,
our common shares will likely only be sporadically or “thinly-traded” on the
“Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board”, meaning that the number of persons interested
in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be
relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a
number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is
relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and
others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and
that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be
risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow company such as ours or purchase or
recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned
and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or
more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared
to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity
that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share
price.

market in general may experience extreme price and volume
fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme
volatility in the price of the Common Stock, which could cause a decline in the
value of the Common Stock. Prospective investors should also be aware
that price volatility may be worse if the trading volume of the Common Stock is
low.
Subscribers
will be subject to a longer holding period.
Since the
Company is defined as a “shell company” under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, if the Company does not file a registration statement to register the
shares sold in this Offering, investors will not be permitted to publicly sell
their shares under Rule 144 until at least one year has elapsed from the time
the Company files information sufficient to reflect that it is no longer a shell
company and has filed all reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, for the next twelve months. For other companies
subject to filing reports under the Exchange Act, the holding period under Rule
144 is typically six months under most circumstances.

No
independent advisors have reviewed this Memorandum on behalf of the
investors.
We have
not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering
or otherwise protect the interests of the investors
hereunder. Although the Company has retained its own counsel, law
firm has made, on behalf of the investors, any investigation of the merits or
the fairness of this Offering or of any factual matters represented herein, and
purchasers of our securities should not rely on the law firms so retained with
respect to any matters herein described. Prior to making an
investment in our securities, all potential investors should consult with their
own legal, financial, and tax advisers.
We
are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which
will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the
preparation of such reports. These additional costs will reduce or
might eliminate our profitability.
We are
required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To comply with
these requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our
quarterly financial statements and audit our annual financial
statements. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and
assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these
professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time,
because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in
and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will
have a major affect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and
attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an
expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet
our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to
potential risks resulting from new requirements under Section 404 of the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial
reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed,
investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, the
trading price of our Common Stock, if a market ever develops, could drop
significantly, or we could become subject to SEC enforcement
proceedings.
As
currently required under Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, we will
be required to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, our
independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to
whether our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects and separately
report on whether it believes we have maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008. We have not yet completed our assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting. We expect to incur
additional expenses and diversion of management's time as a result of performing
the system and process evaluation, testing, and remediation required to comply
with the management certification and auditor attestation
requirements.
During
the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies that we may not be able
to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act for
compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we
fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such
standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we may not
be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have
effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section
404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Moreover, effective internal controls,
particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to
produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial
fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent
fraud, our business and operating results would be harmed, investors could lose
confidence in our reported financial information, the trading price of our
Common Stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly, or we could
become subject to SEC enforcement proceedings.
10
Because
Emissary is becoming public by means of a Share Exchange, there is no history of
compliance with United States securities laws and accounting rules.
In order
to be able to comply with United States securities laws, Emissary will be
completing its initial audit of its financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted auditing standards. As the management of Emissary
does not have direct experience with the preparation of its own financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or with
the preparation of periodic reports filed with the SEC, it may be more difficult
for such management, when they become managers of the Company following the
Share Exchange, to comply on a timely basis with SEC reporting requirements than
a comparable public company.
Because
the Company is becoming public by means of a Share Exchange, it may not be able
to attract the attention of major brokerage firms and, as a public company, will
incur substantial expenses.
Additional
risks may exist since the Company will become public through a Share Exchange,
security analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of the
Company. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to
conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of the Company in the
future.
As a
result of the Share Exchange, the Company will become a publicly-traded company
and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the
U.S. securities laws. The public company costs of preparing and
filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with
the SEC and furnishing audited reports to shareholders will cause the Company’s
expenses to be higher than they would be if it remained privately-held and did
not enter into the Share Exchange.
An
investment in the Units is speculative and there can be no assurance of any
return on any such investment.
An
investment in the Units is speculative and there is no assurance that investors
will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to
substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk
of losing their entire investment.
The
Common Stock may be considered a “xxxxx stock” and may be difficult to
sell.
While
there can be no assurance that a public trading market will ever be developed,
or if developed that on will be maintained, it is likely that our Common Stock
will be considered a “xxxxx stock.” The SEC has adopted regulations
which generally define “xxxxx stock” to be an equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per
share, subject to specific exemptions. Initially, the market price of
the Common Stock is likely to be less than $5.00 per share and therefore may be
designated as a “xxxxx stock” according to SEC rules. The “xxxxx stock” rules
impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors
(generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by
these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchase of securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to
the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving
a xxxxx stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the
transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the xxxxx stock market. The broker-dealer also must
disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly
statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited
market in xxxxx stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may
restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our
common shares, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common shares and
increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as
compared to other securities. In addition, since the Common Stock is
currently traded on the NASD’s OTC BB, investors may find it difficult to obtain
accurate quotations of the Common Stock and may experience a lack of buyers to
purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock
price.
11
We
have significant discretion over use of net proceeds.
Other
than for payments required to be made under the Share Exchange and needed to
complete the Offering, we will have significant flexibility in applying the net
proceeds of the Offering. The actual amounts and timing of these expenditures
may vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including the amount of
cash required to establish new or additional distribution channels and sources
of supply and product assembly of our businesses, the amount of cash generated
by our operations and the market response to our growth strategy. If we do not
use the proceeds in a manner beneficial to us, our business could suffer and our
stock price could decline.
There
is a risk of market fraud.
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for
xxxxx stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and
abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the
security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter
or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases
and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices
involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential
and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same
securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to
a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices
and with consequent investor losses. We are aware of the abuses that have
occurred historically in the xxxxx stock market. Although we do not expect to be
in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who
participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of
practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established
with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices
could increase the volatility of our share price.
There
is limited liquidity on the OTC Bulletin Board.
When
fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC BB, volatility of prices
may increase and price movement may outpace the ability of the OTC BB to deliver
accurate quote information. Due to lower trading volumes in the Common Stock,
there may be a lower likelihood of a person’s orders for shares of the Common
Stock being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from prices
quoted by the OTC BB at the time of order entry.
There
is a limitation in connection with the editing and canceling of orders on the
OTC Bulletin Board.
Orders
for OTC BB securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other
securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to,
received and processed by the OTC BB. Due to the manual order processing
involved in handling OTC BB trades, order processing and reporting may be
delayed. As a result, it may not be possible to edit orders.
Consequently, it may not be possible for the Company’s shareholders to sell the
Common Stock at optimum trading prices.
12
A
significant number of the Company’s shares will be eligible for sale, and their
sale could depress the market price of the Company’s stock.
Sales of
a significant number of shares of the Common Stock in the public market
following this Offering and the Share Exchange could harm the market price of
the Common Stock. As additional shares of the Common Stock become
gradually available for resale in the public market pursuant to the availability
of Rule 144, the supply of the Common Stock will increase, which could decrease
its price. The Company will issue up to 3,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, and Warrants to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Common
Stock, as part of the Units in this Offering and an additional 12,047,500 shares
of Common Stock in connection with the Share Exchange. The Company
has reserved the right to issue up to an additional 18 Units in the Offering
representing 450,000 shares. Some or all of the shares of Common Stock may be
offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these
sales may have a depressive effect on the market for the shares of Common
Stock. In general, once the Common Stock may avail itself under Rule
144, assuming the availability of certain current public information about a
issuer, a person who is not an affiliate of the issuer and has not been
affiliated for a period of three (3) months private sale and, who has held
restricted shares for the applicable holding period which is generally six
months, may sell into the market an unlimited number of shares of Common
Stock.
Purchasers
are acquiring units consisting of restricted securities.
The
shares of Common Stock included in the Units sold in this Offering, the Warrants
and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included
in the Units sold in this Offering will be “restricted” securities which have
not been registered under federal or state securities laws and will not be
freely transferable. Purchasers of these securities must be prepared
to bear the economic risks of investment for an indefinite period of time since
the securities cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered or an
exemption from registration is available.
There
is no public trading market for the Warrants and the Warrants are restricted and
not freely transferable.
There is
currently no public trading market for our warrants. Therefore, there
is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to
resell your Warrants. The Warrants sold in this Offering (and the
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants) are restricted
securities and are not freely transferable. The Warrants are being
sold pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act and cannot be resold or
otherwise transferred without registration under the Securities Act and any
applicable state laws or an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to us, to the
effect that registration of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants is not required because of exemptions therefrom.
Purchasers
of the Units in this Offering will experience immediate dilution.
Purchasers
of Units in this Offering will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible
book value per common share from the purchase price of the Units.
Investors
should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on the Company’s
stock.
The
Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on its
capital stock. The Company currently intends to retain its future
earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.

if any, or otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated

headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not part
of this Agreement and do not affect its interpretation.
8.4. Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
statute or rule of law, then such provision will be deemed modified in order to
conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof that may
prove invalid or unenforceable under any law will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision hereof.
8.5. Entire

agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in herein, no provision of
this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing
signed by the party to be charged with enforcement.
14
8.6. Removal
of Legends. Upon the earlier of (i) registration for resale as set
forth herein, or (ii) an exemption under Rule 144 becoming available, the
Company shall (A) deliver to the transfer agent for the Securities (the
“Transfer Agent”) irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall reissue
a certificate representing shares of Common Stock without legends upon receipt
by such Transfer Agent of the legended certificates for such shares, together
with a customary representation by the Subscriber that Rule 144 applies to all
shares of Common Stock represented thereby and (B) cause its counsel to deliver
to the Transfer Agent one or more blanket opinions to the effect that the
removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the
Securities Act subject to such investor and broker representations and
notifications or qualifications (in the case of subscribers who are or may be
deemed affiliates of the Company) that counsel may reasonably
request. From and after the earlier of such dates, upon a
Subscriber’s written request, the Company shall promptly cause certificates
evidencing the Subscriber’s securities to be replaced with certificates which do
not bear such restrictive legends, and Warrant Shares subsequently issued upon
due exercise of the Warrants shall not bear such restrictive legends provided
the provisions of either clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as applicable, are
satisfied with respect to such Warrant Shares.
8.7. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit
of the parties and their successors and assigns. The Company will not
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Subscriber and the Subscriber may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber
may assign all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its
“affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, without the
consent of the Company so long as the affiliate is an accredited investor
(within the meaning of Regulation D) and agrees in writing to be bound by this
Agreement. This provision does not limit the Subscriber’s right to
transfer the Common Stock or Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
to assign the Subscriber’s rights hereunder to any such transferee pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
8.8. Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
person.
8.9. Further
Assurances. Each party will do and perform, or cause to be done and
performed, all such further acts and things, and will execute and deliver all
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as another party may
reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
8.10. No Strict
Construction. The language used in this Agreement is deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party.
8.11. Equitable
Relief. The Company recognizes that, if it fails to perform or
discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may
prove to be inadequate relief to the Subscriber. The Company
therefore agrees that the Subscribers are entitled to seek temporary and
permanent injunctive relief in any such case.
8.12. Acceptance. Upon
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber, this Agreement
shall become a binding obligation of the Subscriber with respect to the purchase
of Units as herein provided, subject to acceptance by the Company; subject,
however, to the right hereby reserved to the Company to enter into the same
agreements with other Subscribers and to add and/or delete other persons as
Subscribers.
8.13. Waiver. It
is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by that same party.
15
8.14. Other
Documents. The parties agree to execute and deliver all such further
documents, agreements and instruments and take such other and further action as
may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this
Agreement.
8.15. Public
Statements. The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement
with respect to the Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the
Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company
without the Company’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be
required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or
regulation.
8.16. Exculpation
Among Subscribers. The Subscriber agrees, acknowledges and
understands that it is not relying on any of the other Subscribers in making its
investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Subscriber
agrees, acknowledges and understands that none of the other Subscribers nor
their respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or
employees shall be liable to the Subscriber for any action heretofore or
hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the
purchase of the Units or the execution of or performance under this Agreement,
nor shall the Subscriber be liable to the other Subscribers for any action
heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by the Subscriber in
connection with the purchase of the Units or the execution of or performance
under this Agreement.
8.17. Several
Obligations. The obligations of each Subscriber under any
Subscription Agreements are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under any Subscription
Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any other Subscription
Agreement, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Subscription
Agreements. Each Subscriber confirms that it has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the
advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Subscriber shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other
Subscription Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any other Subscriber
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Subscribers has
been provided with the same Subscription Agreements for the purpose of closing a
transaction with multiple Subscribers and not because it was required or
requested to do so by any Subscriber.
8.18. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

A
CONFIDENTIAL
INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
The
Subscriber represents and warrants that he, she or it comes within category as
marked below, and that for any category marked, he, she or it has truthfully set
forth, where applicable, the factual basis or reason the Subscriber comes within

property.
The
undersigned is an individual (not a partnership, corporation, etc.) who had an
income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint
income with his or her spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years (in
each case including foreign income, tax exempt income and full amount of capital
gains and losses but excluding any income of other family members and any
unrealized capital appreciation) and has a reasonable expectation of reaching
the same income level in the current year.
The
undersigned is a director or executive officer of the Company which is issuing
and selling the Units.
The
undersigned is a bank; a savings and loan association; insurance company;
registered investment company; registered business development company; licensed
small business investment company (“SBIC”); or employee benefit plan within the

fiduciary which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance
company or registered investment advisor, or (b) the plan has total assets in
excess of $5,000,000 or (c) is a self directed plan with investment decisions
made solely by Persons that are accredited Subscribers. (describe

202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. (describe
entity)
The
undersigned is either a corporation, partnership, Massachusetts business trust,
or non-profit organization within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, in each case not formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Units and with total assets in excess of $5,000,000. (describe
entity)
The
undersigned is a trust with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for
the specific purpose of acquiring the Units, where the purchase is directed by a
“sophisticated person” as defined in Regulation 506(b)(2)(ii) under the
Securities Act.
The
undersigned is an entity (other than a trust) all of the equity owners of which
are “accredited investors” within one or more of the above
categories. If relying upon this Category H alone, each equity owner
must complete a separate copy of this Agreement. (describe
entity)
18
The
undersigned is not within any of the categories above and is therefore not an
accredited investor.
The
undersigned agrees that the undersigned will notify the Company at any time on
or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the representations and
warranties made by the undersigned in this Agreement shall cease to be true,
accurate and complete.
