The Company has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement, and any other agreements or instruments required hereunder. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

4. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. By executing this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber (and, if Subscriber is purchasing the Securities subscribed for hereby in a fiduciary capacity, the person or persons for whom Subscriber is so purchasing) represents and warrants, which representations and warranties are true and complete in all material respects as of such Subscriber’s respective Closing Date(s):
-4-
(d) Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. Subscriber represents that either:
(i) Subscriber is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Subscriber represents and warrants that the information set forth in response to question (c) on the signature page hereto concerning Subscriber is true and correct; or
(ii) The purchase price set out in paragraph (b) of the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Securities in this offering, does not exceed 10% of the greater of the Subscriber’s annual income or net worth.
Subscriber represents that to the extent it has any questions with respect to its status as an accredited investor, or the application of the investment limits, it has sought professional advice.
-5-
(a) The Subscriber hereby appoints the President of the Company, or his or her successor, as the Subscriber’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to, consistent with this instrument and on behalf of the Subscriber, (i) vote all Securities held of record by the Subscriber, (ii) give and receive notices and communications, (iii) execute any written consent, instrument or document that the President determines is necessary or appropriate at the President’s complete discretion, and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the President for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The proxy and power granted by the Subscriber pursuant to this Section are coupled with an interest. Such proxy and power will be irrevocable. The proxy and power, so long as the Subscriber is an individual, will survive the death, incompetency and disability of the Subscriber and, so long as the Subscriber is an entity, will survive the merger or reorganization of the Subscriber or any other entity holding the Securities. However, the Proxy will terminate upon the earlier of the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of Common Stock, the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Exchange Act covering the Common Stock or five years after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. The President is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section and has the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though he or she was a party hereto.
(b) Other than with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the President, in his or her capacity as the Subscriber’s true and lawful proxy and attorney pursuant to this Section (collectively, the “Proxy”), the Proxy will not be liable for any act done or omitted in his, her or its capacity as representative of the Subscriber pursuant to this instrument while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the written advice of outside counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Proxy has no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this instrument, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of the Subscriber otherwise exist against the Proxy. The Subscriber shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Proxy from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Proxy Losses”) arising out of or in connection with any act done or omitted in the Proxy’s capacity as representative of the Subscriber pursuant to this instrument, in each case as such Proxy Losses are suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Proxy Losses are finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Proxy, the Company shall reimburse the Subscriber the amount of such indemnified Proxy Losses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct (provided that the Proxy’s aggregate liability hereunder shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price). In no event will the Proxy be required to advance his, her or its own funds on behalf of the Subscriber or otherwise. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Proxy or the termination of this instrument.
(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Proxy constitutes a decision of the Subscriber and is final, binding and conclusive upon the Subscriber. The Company, shareholders of the Company and any other third party may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Proxy as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Subscriber. The Company, shareholders of the Company and any other third party are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Proxy.
(d) The Subscriber hereby agrees to take any and all actions determined by the Company’s board of directors in good faith to be advisable to reorganize this instrument and any Securities held by the Subscriber into a special-purpose vehicle or other entity designed to aggregate the interests of holders of Securities issued in this Offering.
(e) If any provision of this Proxy or any part of any this Section 5 is held under any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then (a) such provision or part thereof shall, with respect to such circumstances and in such jurisdiction, be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid and enforceable to the fullest possible extent, (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof under such circumstances and in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision or part thereof under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Proxy. Each provision of this proxy is separable from every other provision of this proxy, and each part of each provision of this Proxy is separable from every other part of such provision.
7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
