business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.
3.2 Such Subscriber understands that (i) the Securities
being purchased hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities
laws, or the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; (ii) such Subscriber cannot sell
or transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws or unless exemptions from such
registration requirements are available; (iii) a legend will be placed on any

fairness of the Shares for investment.
3.8 Such Subscriber is aware that although the Company is
a reporting issuer, there is no active trading market for the Shares, there can

Subscriber may be disclosed by the Company to any persons or entities that may

3.12 Such Subscriber is familiar with the nature and
extent of the risks inherent in investments in unregistered securities and has

Such Subscriber understands that the Company has no substantial assets and has

there can be no assurance that such financing will be obtained, or will be
obtained on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
3.13 Such Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has the
