tendered by the investor shall be promptly returned in full to the
undersigned, without interest, and this Agreement shall be rendered by the
Company null and void and of no further force or effect.
2. Acceptance of Subscription. The undersigned understands and agrees
that this subscription is made subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Company shall have the right to reject this subscription, in
whole or in part; and
(b) The Company shall have no obligation to accept subscriptions for
Shares in the order received.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Undersigned.
The undersigned understands that the Shares are being offered and sold
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided for in Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"), and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The undersigned further understands
that he is purchasing the Shares without being furnished any offering
literature or prospectus other than the Memorandum, that no documents
relating to this private placement as such have been filed with or reviewed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any administrative agency
charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state. All
documents, records and books pertaining to this investment have been made
available to the undersigned and his representatives, including without
limitation his attorney and/or his accountant, and that the books and records
of the Company will be available upon reasonable notice for inspection by
investors during reasonable business hours at its principal place of
business. In addition the undersigned hereby represents and warrants as
follows:
(a) The undersigned (X) if an individual (I) is a citizen of the
United States, and at least 21 years of age, and (ii) is a
bonafide permanent resident of and is domiciled in the State
set forth on the signature page hereof and has no present
intention of becoming a resident of any other State or
jurisdiction, or (Y) if a partnership, trust, corporation or
other entity, has a principal place of business and is
domiciled in the State as set forth on the signature page
thereof and has no present intention of changing its principal
place of business or its domicile to any other state or
jurisdiction;
(b) The undersigned has read and fully considered the section in
the Memorandum entitled "Risk Factors" and understands that
shares are extremely speculative investments with a high
degree of risk of loss, and there will be no public market for
the Shares and it may not be possible to liquidate an
investment in the Shares; Common stock has not been registered
under the Act or State Securities Laws and may not be sold
until such Common Stock is registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available.
(c) The undersigned is able (i) to bear the economic risk of this
investment, (ii) to hold the Shares indefinitely, and (iii)
presently to afford a complete loss of this investment; the
undersigned has adequate means of providing for current needs
and personal contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in
this investment;
(d) The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters that he/she is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making
informed investment decision;
(e) The undersigned confirms that, in making his decision to
purchase the Shares, he/she has relied solely upon independent
investigations made by him/her and/or by his/her
representatives, including his own professional tax and other
advisors, and that he and such representatives and advisors
have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, officers of the Company and Counsel to
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this
offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the
extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify
the accuracy of the information set forth in the Memorandum;
(f) The Shares hereby subscribed for are being acquired by the
undersigned in good faith solely for his/her own personal
account, for investment purposes only, and are not being
purchased for resale, resyndication, distribution, subdivision
or fractionalization thereof; the undersigned has no contract
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to
any person the Shares or any part thereof, any interest
therein or any rights thereto; the undersigned has no present
plans to enter into any such contract or arrangement; and
he/her understands that as a result he/she must bear the
economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of
time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act
and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration under the Act is available.

material contained herein or in the Securities and Exchange
