The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Corporation and understands that:
(a) Principal. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares as principal for the Subscriber’s own account and not for the benefit of any other person except as otherwise stated herein, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any of the Shares.
(b) Decision to Purchase. The decision of the Subscriber to enter into this Agreement and to purchase Shares pursuant hereto has been based only on the representation of this agreement and any collateral business plan or offering memorandum provided herewith or based upon the Subscriber's relationship with the foregoing stated person of the Corporation. It is not made on other information relating to the Corporation and not upon any oral representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Corporation or any other person. The Subscriber agrees that the Corporation assumes no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever for the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any business plan information, which has been created based upon the Corporation's management experience. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the decision to subscribe for Shares has not been influenced by:
5 |
· | Newspaper, magazine or other media articles or reports related to the Corporation or its business; or |
· | Promotional literature or other materials used by the Corporation for sales or marketing purposes; or |

(c) Economic Risk. The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs as to be capable of evaluation the merits and risks of the Subscriber’s investment in the Shares and the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Subscriber's investment in the Shares.
(d) Speculative Investment. The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Shares is a speculative investment and that there is no guarantee of success of management's plans. Management's plans are an effort to apply present knowledge and experience to project a future course of action which is hoped will result in financial success employing the Corporation's assets and present level of management's skills, and those whom the Corporation will need to attract (which cannot be assured). Additionally, all plans are capable of being frustrated by new or unrecognized or unappreciated circumstances which can typically not be accurately, or at all, predicted.
(e) Status. If the Subscriber is a U.S. person then such has been declared in this document and the Subscriber qualifies as an eligible subscriber under the relevant state and federal U.S. laws as elsewhere herein specified.
(f) Address. The Subscriber is resident as set out on the last page of this Agreement as the "Subscriber's Address" and the address set forth on the last page of this Agreement is the true and correct address of the Subscriber.

(l) Authorization and Formation of Subscriber. The Subscriber, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business entity, is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Shares and such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring Shares in the offering.

(m) Legal Obligation. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Subscriber.
