The

_____ is
not a U.S. Person (as defined below) and is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule
501(b) under the Securities Act) of the Company; was not offered the
Shares in the United States and did not execute this Agreement in the United
States (a “Reg S Subscriber”) and the Subscriber is not acquiring the
Shares for the account of or benefit of any U.S. Person. A U.S.
Person means any one of the following:
any
natural person resident in the United States of America;
any
partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the
United States of America;
any
estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person;
any trust
of which any trustee is a U.S. person;
any
agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States of
America;
any
non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust)

person;
any

a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated or (if an individual)

any
partnership or corporation if:

6
formed by
a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not
registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and
owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule
501(a) under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or
trusts.
The Subscriber will not, during the
period commencing on the date of issuance of the Shares and ending on the first
anniversary of such date, or such shorter period as may be permitted by
Regulation S or other applicable securities law (the “Restricted Period”),
offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares in the United States, or to
a U.S. Person for the account or for the benefit of a U.S. Person, or otherwise
in a manner that is not in compliance with Regulation S.

engage in, any short selling of or any hedging transaction with respect to the
Shares including without limitation, any put, call or other option transaction,
option writing, equity swap or other derivative transaction.
Neither the Subscriber nor any person
acting on its behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling
efforts to a U.S. Person with respect to the Shares and the Subscriber and any
person acting on its behalf have complied and will comply with the “offering
restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities
Act.
The transactions contemplated by this
Agreement have not been pre-arranged with a buyer located in the United States
or with a U.S. Person, and are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Neither the Subscriber nor any person
acting on its behalf has undertaken or carried out any activity for the purpose
of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the
market in the United States, its territories or possessions, for any of the
Shares. The Subscriber agrees not to cause any advertisement of the
Shares or the securities comprising the Shares to be published in any newspaper
or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular
relating to the Shares, except such advertisements that include the statements
required by Regulation S under the Securities Act, and only offshore and not in
the U.S. or its territories, and only in compliance with any local applicable
securities laws.
Each certificate representing the
Shares shall be endorsed with the following legends, or substantially similar
legends, in addition to any other legend required to be placed thereon by
applicable federal or state corporate or securities laws:

“THE
SHARES ARE BEING OFFERED TO INVESTORS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN
REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“THE SECURITIES
ACT”)) AND WITHOUT REGISTRATION WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S PROMULGATED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”
“TRANSFER
OF THESE SHARES IS PROHIBITED, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF
REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SUCURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT
BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.”
The Subscriber consents to the Company
making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of
the Company in order to implement the restrictions on transfer of the Shares set
forth in this Agreement.
All purchases, sales and resales of the
Shares and the transfer of funds in payment therefore shall at all times be in
compliance with Title III of the USA Patriot Act (Uniting and Strengthening
America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct
Terrorism) of 2001.

of the Shares (and all certificates issued in exchange therefore or in
substitution thereof) shall bear, on the face of such certificates, the
following legend:
“THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (THE “1933 ACT”) AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAW. NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED OFFERED,

on transfer set forth herein;
|
|
j.
|
Acknowledges
the Company has no obligation or present intention to file a registration
statement under the 1933 Act in respect of the Shares and accordingly
there are substantial restrictions on transferability of the securities
and it will not be possible to liquidate the Subscriber’s investment
readily and the Subscriber has not been supplied with any of the
information that would be found in the applicable registration statement
if any of said securities were registered under the 1933
Act;
|
|
k.

The
Subscriber is acquiring the Shares as an investment for its own account as
to which the Subscriber exercises sole investment discretion and not with

violation of the United States securities
laws;

l.
|
If
the Subscriber is a Reg S Subscriber, the Subscriber will not engage in
any ‘direct selling efforts’ (as defined in Regulation S of the 1933 Act)

expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United
States for the resale of the Shares, but the Subscriber may sell or

United States state securities laws or under any exemption from such
registration requirements and as otherwise provided
herein;

The
Subscriber is not subscribing for the Shares as a result of or subsequent

radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a
subscription by person previously not known to the undersigned in
connection with investment securities
generally;
|
|
n.
|
The
Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and an
investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become
excessive;
|
|
o.
|
The
Subscriber understands that an investment in the Shares is a speculative
investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of
his entire investment;
|
16
|
p.
|
The
Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in
reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is
relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance
with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine
the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the undersigned
to acquire the Shares. The Subscriber further acknowledges that each of
the representations and warranties made by the Subscriber in this
Agreement shall be true, complete and accurate so long as the Subscriber
is the legal or beneficial holder of the Shares. If any of the foregoing
representations and warranties are not true at any time that the
Subscriber holds any the foregoing securities, the Subscriber agrees to
immediately notify the Company of the facts rendering the representation
untrue.
|

account:

The
Subscriber is:
