Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company
has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as currently
conducted, other than such failures that would not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, properties or
financial condition (a “Material

laws, which compliance will have occurred within the appropriate time periods
therefor.
e. Litigation. There

Representations and Warranties
of the Subscriber. The Subscriber represents and
warrants to the Company the
following:
|
a. The
Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and designated representatives, if any, have
the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to

relating to, the purchase of PPO Units and the tax consequences of the
investment, and have the ability to bear the economic risks of the
investment.
b. The
Subscriber is acquiring the PPO Units for investment for its own account and not
with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution
thereof. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the PPO
Units, the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of a specific
exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Subscriber
further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any
third person with respect to any of the PPO Units, the shares of Common Stock
and the Warrant. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the
offering of the PPO Units pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered
under the Securities Act nor under the state securities laws on the ground that
the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder
is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.
4
c. The
Subscriber understands that no public market now exists, and there never will be
a public market for, the PPO Units, that an active public market for the
Company’s Common Stock does not now exist and that there may never be an active
public market for the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering.
d. The
Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and designated representatives, if any, have
received and reviewed information about the Company and have had an opportunity
to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its
management. The Subscriber understands that such discussions, as well
as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe
the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes
to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description,
and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information
and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any
information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of
such information may include projections as to the future performance of the
Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions
which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the
Company’s control. Additionally, the Subscriber understands and
represents that he is purchasing the Units notwithstanding the fact that the
Company may disclose in the future certain material information the Subscriber
has not received, including financial statements of the Company for the 12 month
period ended December 31, 2008, which statements are currently being prepared
and are expected to be filed with the SEC on or prior to March 31, 2009 and
incorporated by reference into the Memorandum, and any subsequent period
financial statements that will be filed with the SEC and incorporated by
reference into the Memorandum, that he is not relying on any such information in
connection with his purchase of the Units and that he waives any right of action
with respect to the nondisclosure to him prior to his purchase of the Units of
any such information.
e. As of the
Closing, all action on the part of Subscriber, and its officers, directors and
partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the performance of
all obligations of the Subscriber hereunder and thereunder shall have been
taken, and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, assuming due
execution by the parties hereto and thereto, constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability
of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and
(ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’
rights.
5
f. The
Subscriber either (i) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act or (ii) is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Regulation S as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act,
and, in each case, shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such
status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
g. The
Subscriber, if a non-U.S. Person, agrees that it is acquiring the Shares in an
offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S and hereby represents to the
Company as follows:
(i) Subscriber
is outside the United States when receiving and executing this Subscription
Agreement;
(ii) Subscriber
has not acquired the Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any
“directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the United States in
respect of the Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the
purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of,
conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Shares;
provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose of the
Shares pursuant to registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and any
applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such
registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein;
(iii) The
Subscriber understands and agrees that offers and sales of any of the Shares
prior to the expiration of a period of one year after the date of transfer of
the Shares under this Subscription Agreement (the “Distribution Compliance
Period”), shall only be made in compliance with the safe harbor provisions set
forth in Regulation S, pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities
Act or an exemption therefrom, and that all offers and sales after the
Distribution Compliance Period shall be made only in compliance with the
registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and in
each case only in accordance with all applicable securities laws;
(iv) The
Subscriber understands and agrees not to engage in any hedging transactions
involving the Shares prior to the end of the Distribution Compliance Period
unless such transactions are in compliance with the Securities Act;
and
6
(v) The
Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full
observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to
subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including:
(a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the
Shares; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c)
any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the
income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the
purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Such Subscriber’s
subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the
Shares, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the
Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
h. The
Subscriber or its duly authorized representative realizes that because of the
inherently speculative nature of investments of the kind contemplated by the
Company, the Company’s investment results may be expected to fluctuate from
month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high
degree of financial and market risk that can result in substantial or, at times,
even total losses.
i. The
Subscriber has adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated
financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the economic risk for an
indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the
PPO Units and could afford complete loss of such investment.
j. The
Subscriber is not subscribing for PPO Units as a result of or subsequent to any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or the
internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a
subscription by a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection
with investments in securities generally.
k. The
Subscriber agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the
Registration Rights Agreement and to perform all obligations thereby imposed
upon it.
l. All of
the information that the Subscriber has heretofore furnished or which is set
forth herein is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement, and, if
there should be any material change in such information prior to the admission
of the undersigned to the Company, the Subscriber will immediately furnish
revised or corrected information to the Company.
