1. Subscription.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Investor hereby tenders a subscription in the amount set forth opposite the heading "Subscription Amount" on the signature page hereto or such lesser amount as the Company shall choose to accept pursuant to paragraph 2(b) below (the "Subscription") for Common Shares.

The Company shall have no obligation to accept Subscriptions in the order received.
(b) The Company shall have the right to reject this Subscription Agreement, in whole, or in part, in the Company's sole discretion, and this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when the Investor has been admitted to the Company as a Shareholder. If the Company elects to accept only part of the Subscription Amount, then the Company shall be authorized to revise the amount set forth opposite the heading "Subscription Amount" on the signature page hereto and shall notify the Investor in writing of such revision promptly after the closing (the amount as so revised shall thereafter be the Investor's Subscription for all purposes hereof).
(c) The Investor hereby requests and authorizes the Company to enter Investor's name on its Share Register.
3. Investor's Conditions to Closing. The Investor's obligations hereunder are subject to the Company's performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the closing.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct at the time of closing, except to the extent that the Investor notifies the Company in writing prior to the closing.
(b) All proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and all documents and instruments incident to such transactions shall be satisfactory in substance and form to the Company and its counsel, and the Company or its counsel shall have received all such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such documents as the Company may request.
5. Investor's Representations. In connection with the Investor's purchase of the shares, the Investor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Company and the Company's counsel are entitled to rely. If in any respect such representations shall not be true and accurate prior to the sale of the share, the Investor shall give immediate notice of such fact to the Company, specifying which representations and warranties are not true and accurate and the reasons therefor.
(a) The Investor is acquiring the shares solely for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale. The Investor will not sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares in whole or in part unless the shares either have been registered under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities law, or are exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any such state securities law.
(b) The Investor has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to evaluate the Company, its proposed activities and the risks and merits of this investment. The Investor has the ability to accept the high risk and lack of liquidity inherent in this type of investing.
(c) The Investor has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms, conditions and proposed activities of the Company and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided.
(d) The Investor has been advised to consult with its own attorney regarding legal matters concerning the Company and to consult with an independent tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of participating in the Company.
(e) The Investor understands that the shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act (and that no such registration is contemplated) and are being sold in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements under that Act provided in Regulation D and/or Section 4(2). The Investor further understands that it is not anticipated that there will be any market for its shares in the Company and the Investor must therefore bear the economic risk of this investment for the term of the Company.
