1.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that it has prior investment experience such that it is able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, or that it has employed the services of an investment advisor to read the Disclosure Documents (as hereinafter defined) and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on its behalf; that it recognizes the speculative nature of this investment; and that it is able to bear the economic risk it hereby assumes.

1
contemplated hereby are exempt there from; and (iii) the foregoing exemptions are predicated on the Subscriber’s representations set forth herein.
