1. The Investor and/or the Investor's representative (if any) have
received a copy of all of the public filings of the Company pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 together with current information regarding
the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. The Investor, either alone or

evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company.
2. The Investor acknowledges that: (a) the Investor has been provided
with information concerning the company and has had an opportunity to ask
questions and to obtain such additional information concerning the Company
as the Investor deems necessary in connection with the Investor's

of losing the Investor's entire investment.

or anyone else any of the Shares (or any portion thereof or interest
therein) for which the Investor hereby subscribes, and the investor has no
present plans or intentions to enter into any such contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement. The financial condition of the Investor is such
that the Investor has no need for liquidity with respect to the Investor's
investment in the Shares and no need to dispose of any portion of the

readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Investor's net worth and
will not become excessive as a result of investment in the Shares.

entered into between Investor and Company in consideration of this
Subscription Agreement and pertaining to the Shares contains limitations on
Demand Registrations and Piggyback Registrations that may postpone any
registration of the Shares.

Investor's Shares are not transferable, that the Investor will not,
directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer the Investor's Shares (or any portion thereof or interest therein)
except in accordance with Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable state
securities laws and that violation of the foregoing will cause such
transfer to be void and need not be recognized by the Company.
7. The Investor warrants that the Investor has knowledge and
experience in financial, investment and business matters and that the
Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Shares.
8. The Company, by and through its Board of Directors and/or legal
counsel, has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of
the Investor's investment in the Shares. Neither the Company nor its
counsel has made an independent investigation on behalf of the Investor,

by the Investor in making the decision to purchase the Shares subscribed
for herein, and acknowledges that no representations or agreements have
been made to the Investor with respect thereto.
10. The Investor expressly acknowledges that:
(a) No federal, state or other governmental agency has passed
upon the adequacy or accuracy or the information concerning the
Company or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the
investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares as an
investment.
(b) The Investor is not dependent upon a current cash return with
respect to the Investor's investment in the Shares, and the Investor
understands that distributions are not required to be made and that
returns on an investment in the Shares may not be realized for years.
(c) The Shares are being offered and sold to prospective
purchasers directly, and neither the Company nor any person acting on

by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, such as
media advertising or public seminars.
11. The Investor (i) if an individual, is at least 21 years of age;

Investor's taxpayer identification number (social security number for an
individual Investor) as set forth on the signature page hereof is correct;
(ii) the Investor's home address (in the case of an individual) or office
address (in the case of an entity) as set forth on the signature page
hereof is correct; and (iii) the Investor is not subject to backup
withholding either because the Investor has not been notified by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that the Investor is subject to backup
withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends,
or because the Investor has been notified by the IRS that the Investor is
no longer subject to backup withholding. If the Investor is subject to
