representing payment in full for the Shares desired to be purchased hereunder,
made payable to the order of “Elsinore Services, Inc.” or such other

3. Representations of
Subscriber. By executing this Agreement, Subscriber makes the
following representations, declarations and warranties to the Company, with the
intent and understanding that the Company will rely thereon:
3.1 Subscriber
has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry
out the provisions hereof.
3.2 Subscriber
represents that Subscriber satisfies the definition of “accredited investor” as
set forth in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (a copy of such definition is set
forth in Appendix A attached hereto).
3.3 Subscriber
understands that (i) the Shares (the “Securities”) have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law; (ii) Subscriber
cannot sell any Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act
and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or unless exemptions from
such registration requirements are available, (iii) a legend will be placed on
the certificates evidencing the Securities stating that the Securities have not
been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth or referring to the
restrictions on transferability and sales thereof, (iv) the Company will place
stop transfer instructions against the Securities, and (v) the Company has no
obligation to register the Securities or assist Subscriber in obtaining an
exemption from the various registration requirements.
3.4 Subscriber

either in whole or in part; (ii) has no contract, undertaking, agreement or
other arrangement, in existence or contemplated, to sell, pledge, assign or

sell, assign, encumber or transfer all or any part of the Securities (except a
transfer upon his death, incapacity or bankruptcy or a transfer without
consideration to his spouse and/or children and/or a trust for the benefit of
such family members) until such securities are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption
from any such registration is available as evidenced by an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer or assignment (i) may
be effected without registration of the Securities under the Securities Act; and
(ii) does not violate any applicable Federal or state securities
laws.
3.5 Subscriber

which Subscriber deemed material to making an informed investment decision in

covenants made herein; (ii) a business plan for the Company, dated _________,
2009, and (iii) written (or verbal) answers to all questions Subscriber
submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and Subscriber
has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished with
any other documents, offering literature, memorandum or
prospectus. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has made
available to the Subscriber the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from the Company, its officers, directors and other persons acting on
its behalf, including Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxx, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of Subscriber’s purchase and to
obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such
information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary
to verify the accuracy of the information disclosed to
Subscriber. Subscriber represents that no statement, printed material
or inducement was given or made by the Company or anyone on its behalf which is
contrary to the information disclosed to Subscriber.
3.6 Subscriber
is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables the Subscriber to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
this investment.
3.7 Subscriber
understands that an investment in the Securities involves substantial risks and
Subscriber recognizes and understands the risks relating to the purchase of the
Securities.
3.8 Subscriber
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that
Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Company.
3.9 Subscriber
understands that (i) the offering contemplated hereby has not been reviewed by
any Federal, state or other governmental body or agency; (ii) if required by the
laws or regulations of said state(s) or other jurisdiction the offering
contemplated hereby will be submitted to the appropriate authorities of such
state(s) or other jurisdiction for registration or exemption therefrom; and
(iii) subscription documents used in connection with this offering have not been
reviewed or approved by any regulatory agency or government department, nor has
any such agency or government department made any finding or determination as to
the fairness of the Shares for investment.
3.10 Subscriber
is aware no market exists for the Shares and that none may
develop. Subscriber has adequate means of providing for Subscriber’s
current needs and personal and family contingencies, has no need for liquidity
in the investment contemplated hereby, and is able to bear the risk of loss of
his, her or its entire investment.
2
3.11 Subscriber
(i) is a citizen or resident of the state of residence shown on the Agreement’s
Subscriber Signature Page; (ii) if a natural person, is at least 21 years of
age; (iii) has adequate means of providing for his or its current needs and
personal contingencies; (iv) has no need for liquidity in his, her or its
investment in the Securities; and (v) maintains his, her or its domicile (and is
not a transient or temporary resident) at the address shown below.
3.12 All
information that Subscriber has provided the Company concerning Subscriber,
Subscriber's financial position and Subscriber's knowledge of financial and
business matters is correct and complete as of the date hereof. The
Subscriber agrees that financial and other information concerning Subscriber may
be disclosed by the Company to any persons or entities that may enter into a
transaction with the Company. Subscriber further agrees, if requested
by the Company or its authorized representative, to provide bank references or
other confirming information concerning Subscriber's financial information as
may be reasonably requested by the Company.
3.13 Subscriber
is familiar with the nature and extent of the risks inherent in investments in
unregistered securities and in the business in which the Company is engaged and
intends to engage and recognizes and understands all of the risks relating to
the purchase of the Securities and has determined that an investment in the
Company is consistent with Subscriber's investment objectives and income
prospects.
3.14 Subscriber
understands that the total amount of funds tendered to purchase the Securities
are unsecured and are placed at the risk of the business and may be completely
lost.
3.15 Subscriber’s
overall commitment to investments, including Subscriber’s investment in the
Company, which are not readily marketable, is not disproportionate to
Subscriber’s net worth, and Subscriber’s investment in the securities described
herein will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. Subscriber
understands that the statutory basis on which such Securities are being offered,
sold and/or issued to the Subscriber would not be available if Subscriber’s
present intention were to hold such securities for a fixed period of time or
until the occurrence of a certain event. Subscriber realizes that, in the view
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a purchase of such securities
now, with a present intention to resell by reason of a foreseeable specific
contingency or any anticipated change in the market value of such securities, or
in the condition of the Company or that of the industry in which the business of
the Company is engaged or in connection with a contemplated liquidation, or
settlement of any loan obtained by Subscriber for the acquisition of such
securities, and for which such securities may be pledged as a security or as
donations to religious or charitable institutions for the purpose of securing a
deduction on an income tax return, would, in fact, constitute a purchase with an
intention inconsistent with Subscriber’s representations to the Company and the
SEC would then regard such purchase as a purchase for which the exemption from
registration under the Securities Act relied upon by the Company in connection
herewith is not available.
3.16 Subscriber
acknowledges that the Company has the unconditional right to accept or reject
this subscription, in whole or in part. The Company will notify
Subscriber whether this subscription is accepted or rejected. If such
subscription is rejected, payment will be returned to Subscriber.
3.17 If
Subscriber is a corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not a
natural person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized
for the specific purpose of purchasing the Securities and is not prohibited from
doing so.
3.18 If
Subscriber is purchasing the Securities in a fiduciary capacity for another
person or entity, including without limitation a corporation, partnership, trust
or any other entity, Subscriber has been duly authorized and empowered to
execute this Subscription Agreement and all other subscription documents, and
such other person or entity fulfills all the requirements for purchase of the
Securities as such requirements are set forth herein, concurs in the purchase of
the Securities and agrees to be bound by the obligations, representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein. Upon request of the Company,
Subscriber will provide true, complete and current copies of all relevant
documents creating Subscriber, authorizing its investment in the Company and/or
evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.
3
3.19 Subscriber
recognizes that the Company may seek to raise additional operating capital
through a variety of sources, and that although the Company may undertake one or
more public or private offerings of its shares of Common Stock or other
securities, there can be no assurance that any such offering will be made or, if
made, that it will be successful.
4. Indemnification. Subscriber
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company's
officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates from and
against any and all damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) which they, or any of them, may
incur by reason of the Subscriber's failure to fulfill any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or by reason of Subscriber's breach of any of his
representations and warranties contained herein. This Agreement and
the representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon
Subscriber's heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and
assigns. THE COMPANY
AND SUBSCRIBER HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY, ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES IS DEEMED TO BE VOID AS
AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AND THEREBY UNENFORCEABLE IN SOME
STATES.
5. Arbitration
Agreement.
5.1 Subscriber
represents, warrants and covenants that any controversy or claim brought
directly, derivatively or in a representative capacity by him in his capacity as
a present or former security holder, whether against the Company, in the name of
the Company or otherwise, arising out of or relating to any acts or omissions of
the Company, or any security holder or any of their officers, directors, agents,
attorneys, affiliates, associates, employees or controlling persons (including
without limitation any controversy or claim relating to a purchase or sale of
the Shares) shall be settled by arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act in
accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any controversy
or claim brought by the Company against Subscriber, whether in his capacity as
present or former security holder of the Company or against any of Subscriber's
officers, directors, agents, affiliates, associates, employees or controlling
persons, shall also be settled by arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act
in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA and judgment
rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. In arbitration proceedings under this Section 5, the
parties shall be entitled to any and all remedies that would be available in the
absence of this Section 5 and the arbitrators, in rendering their decision,
shall follow the substantive laws that would otherwise be
applicable. This Section 5 shall apply, without limitation, to
actions arising in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities
contemplated by this Agreement under any Federal or state securities
laws.
5.2 The
arbitration of any dispute pursuant to this Section 5 shall be held in
Washington, D.C.
5.3 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in order to preserve the status quo pending the resolution by
arbitration of a claim seeking relief of an injunctive or equitable nature, any
party, upon submitting a matter to arbitration as required by this
Section 5, may simultaneously or thereafter seek a temporary restraining
order or preliminary injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction pending
the outcome of the arbitration.
5.4 This
Section 5 is intended to benefit the security holders, agents, attorneys,
affiliates, associates, employees and controlling persons of the Company, each
of whom shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 5,
and each of whom may enforce this Section 5 to the full extent that the
Company could do so if a controversy or claim were brought against
it.
5.5 Subscriber
acknowledges that this Section 5 limits a number of Subscriber's rights,
including without limitation (i) the right to have claims resolved in a court of
law and before a jury; (ii) certain discovery rights; and (iii) the right to
repeal any decision.
4
5.6 Please
note that: (i) arbitration is final and binding on the parties; (ii) the
parties are waiving their rights to seek remedies in court, including the right
to jury trial; (iii) pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited than
and different from court proceedings; (iv) the arbitrators’ award is not
required to include factual findings or legal reasoning and any party’s right to
appeal or seek modification of rulings by the arbitrators is strictly
limited; (v) the panel of arbitrators will typically include a
minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry;
(vi) no person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration,
nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who
has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a member of a putative
class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed
by the putative class action until: (a) the class certification is denied; or
(b) the class is decertified; or (c) the customer is excluded from the class by
the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not
constitute a waiver of any rights under this Agreement except to the extent
stated herein.
6. Governing
Law. The validity and construction of this Agreement and all
matters pertaining hereto are to be determined in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without reference to the conflicts of laws of that
state.

herein, inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Company and its successors
and assigns and on Subscriber and his respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns.
