3.3 Investor
Intent. Unless the Investor is acting in a fiduciary capacity as
provided in Section 3.4 below, the Investor is
acquiring the Shares for its own account as principal, for investment purposes
only, not for any other person or entity and not for the purpose of resale
or
distribution. By executing this Agreement, the Investor further

or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations

the
Shares.

financial and business matters as will enable the Investor to evaluate the

natural person, has adequate means of providing for his, her or its current
financial needs and personal contingencies, and has no need for liquidity
in the
investment in the Shares, understands that he, she or it may not be able

Investor. The Investor is an Accredited Investor, as defined by
Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

is Not a U.S. Person. The Investor is not a U.S. Person as such
term is defined by Rule 902 of Regulation S of the 1933 Act and is not acquiring
the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person.
3.8 Access
to Information. In purchasing the Shares, the Investor is relying
on its independent investigation of the Company. The Investor has
received and reviewed all information the Investor considers necessary or
appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. The Investor
further represents that the Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions
and
receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of purchase
of the Shares and regarding the business, financial affairs and other aspects
of
the Company and has further had the opportunity to obtain any information
(to
the extent the Company possesses or can acquire such information without
unreasonable effort or expense) which the Investor deems necessary to evaluate
the investment and to verify the accuracy of information otherwise provided
to
the Investor.
3.9 No
Other Representations; No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any
other person or entity has made any commitment, representation or warranty
to
the Investor of any type or manner with respect to the Investor’s investment in
the Company, and the Investor has not relied on any commitments, representations
or warranties, except those set forth herein. The Investor also acknowledges
that it has been advised to consult with its own attorney regarding legal
matters concerning the Company and to consult with its tax advisor regarding
the
tax consequences of acquiring the Shares. The Investor has received no general
solicitation or general advertisement in connection with the Purchase or
an
investment in the Company. The Investor did not subscribe for the
Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice
or

of Information. The Investor understands and acknowledges that
the Company is relying on the accuracy, veracity and completeness of the
information provided by the Investor in this Agreement and otherwise in
connection with the Purchase with respect to the offer and sale the
Shares. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing, the
representations and warranties of the Investor contained herein and all
information provided by the Investor to the Company concerning the Investor,
its
financial position and its knowledge of financial and business matters with
respect to Investor’s investment in the Shares under this Agreement, including,
but not limited to, the information set forth in the Confidential Investment
Qualification Questionnaire attached hereto and incorporated herein, is correct
and complete, and if there should be any changes in that information prior
to
the Investor purchasing the Shares, the Investor will immediately provide
the
Company with the correct information.
4. AGREEMENTS
AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF THE INVESTOR. The Investor hereby agrees
and acknowledges to the Company as follows.
4.1 No
Registration. The Investor understands that the Shares being
acquired by the Investor have not been registered under the 1933 Act, in
reliance on an exemption therefrom for transactions not involving any public
offering, that the Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or by any other federal or state agency,
and
that no such agency has passed on the accuracy or adequacy of disclosures
made
to the Investor by the Company. No federal or state governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares

of
a one-year distribution compliance period (which is defined as the period
which

as
defined in Section 4.4(b)
herein, in reliance upon Regulation S, or the date of the closing of the
offering of the Shares, whichever is later, and continuing until one year

to a
U.S. Person or for the account of a U.S. Person, other than a
distributor;
(b) The
offer and sale of the Shares by the Investor, if made prior to the expiration
of
a one-year distribution compliance period shall also comply with the following
conditions:
(i) The
Investor shall require that prior to the sale or transfer, t he purchaser
of the
Shares (other than a distributor) certifies that it is not a U.S. Person
and is
not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of any U. S. Person or
is a
U.S. Person who purchased securities in a transaction that did not require
registration under the 1933 Act;
4
(ii) The
Investor shall require that prior to the sale or transfer, the purchaser
of the
Shares agrees to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions
of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the 1933 Act, or pursuant
to an
available exemption from registration; and agrees not to engage in hedging
transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the
1933
Act; and
(iii) The
Investor shall require that prior to the sale or transfer, the securities
to be
transferred by Investor contain a legend to the effect that transfer is
prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant

Investor understands the Company, to comply with Regulation S, shall refuse
to
register any transfer of the securities not made in accordance with the
provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the 1933 Act,
or
pursuant to an available exemption from registration; provided, however,
that if
the securities are in bearer form or foreign law prevents the issuer of the
securities from refusing to register securities transfers, the Company shall
be
entitled to implement such other reasonable procedures as it may elect to
prevent any transfer of the securities not made in accordance with the
provisions of Regulation S; and
(d) Investor
further agrees to provide written notice to any distributor, wherein the

the
one-year distribution compliance period, shall send a confirmation or other
notice to the purchaser stating that the purchaser is subject to the same
restrictions on offers and sales that apply to the distributor.

Investor understands that the certificates evidencing the Shares bear or
will
bear one or all of the following legends: (i) “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED
FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS, OTHER
THAN DISTRIBUTORS AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S, IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH 1933 ACT OR
AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT
REQUIRED OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM, AND PRIOR TO THE ONE-YEAR
DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE PERIOD HEDGING TRANSACTIONS IN THE SHARES MAY NOT
BE
CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1933 ACT.”; and (ii) any other legend
required by the laws of the jurisdiction where Investor
resides.
5
4.4 Limitations
on Disposition and Resale.
(a) The
Investor understands that the Shares cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of unless the Shares have been registered by the Company pursuant
to
the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption
therefrom is available. The Investor understands that it may not be
possible for the Investor to liquidate his, her or its investment in the
Company; and the Investor agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of
his, her or its Shares unless such sale, transfer or other disposition is
in
accordance with any applicable agreement(s) restricting transfer thereof
and the
Shares have been so registered or an exemption from the requirement of
registration is available under the 1933 Act. The Investor recognizes
that there will not be any public trading market for the Shares and, as a
result, the Investor may be unable to sell or dispose of its interest in
the
Company.
(b) In
the event the Shares are offered or sold by a distributor (which is defined
to
mean any underwriter, dealer or other person who participates, pursuant to
a
contractual arrangement, in the distribution of the Shares offered and sold
pursuant to this Agreement in reliance on Regulation S), the Investor
represents, warrants and agrees that it shall provide to and require the
distributor to sign a notice agreeing to comply with the following
conditions:
(i) that
all offers and sales of the Shares prior to the expiration of the one-year
distribution compliance period shall be made only in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S, pursuant to registration of
the
Shares under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an available exemption under the
1933
Act; and
(ii) the
distributor will not engage in hedging transactions with regard to such Shares
prior to the expiration of the one-year distribution compliance period specified
in Rule 903 of Regulation S unless in compliance with the 1933 Act.
4.5 High
Degree of Risk. The Investor recognizes that the Company has
generated net losses since inception, and, accordingly, an investment in
the
Company is extremely speculative and involves a high degree of
risk. The Investor has taken full cognizance of and understands all
of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Shares.
4.6 Irrevocable
Subscription and Cancellation. The Investor understands that this
subscription is irrevocable, except as otherwise provided in any applicable
federal or state law governing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
herein.
4.7 Confidentiality. Information
provided to the Investor by the Company in connection with this Agreement
(whether oral or written) is confidential and nonpublic, and all such
information shall be kept in confidence by the Investor and shall neither
be
used by the Investor to the Investor’s personal benefit (other than in
connection with the Investor’s subscription for the Shares) nor disclosed to any
third party for any reason; provided, that this obligation shall not apply
to
any such information that (i) is part of the public knowledge or literature
and
readily accessible as of the date hereof, (ii) becomes part of the public
knowledge or literature and readily accessible by publication (except as
a
result of a breach of these provisions); or (iii) is received from third
parties
(except third parties who disclose such information in violation of any
confidentiality agreements including, without limitation, any agreement they
may
have with the Company).
6
5. INDEMNIFICATION. The
Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers,
employees, directors, agents, affiliates, or control persons of any such
entity
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of or arising from any actual
or
alleged misrepresentation or misstatement of facts or omission to represent
or
state facts made by the Investor to the Company concerning itself or its
financial position in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares
against
losses, liabilities and expenses for which the Company or any of its officers,
employees, agents, affiliates, directors, or control persons of any such
entity
have not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement) as incurred by such person or entity in
connection with such action, suit, or proceeding.
6. ARBITRATION. Any
dispute concerning this Agreement (or the investment in the Company) shall
be
submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator under the then
applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (or any successor
thereto or any replacement arbitration tribunal as agreed to by the
parties). The arbitration hearing will be held in Los Angeles,
California. The remedial authority of any arbitrators serving under
any dispute shall be the same as, but no greater than would be, the remedial
power of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their
dispute. The prevailing party or parties in any such dispute shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the
arbitration.
7. GOVERNING
LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement is governed by and shall be
construed in accordance with the law of the State of California, excluding
any
conflict-of-laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or
construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction. If
any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person
or
circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder
of
this Agreement and the application of that provision to other persons or
circumstances is not affected thereby, and that provision shall be enforced
to
the greater extent permitted by law.
8. ASSIGNMENT. The
Investor shall have neither the right nor the power to assign or delegate
any
provision of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the
Company. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective
successors, assigns, executors and administrators.
9. COUNTERPARTS. This
Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and both of which shall constitute one and the same
document. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by
facsimile signature, or by e-mail, pdf or other image file, and in two or
more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. This Agreement and any agreements referenced herein
constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the
subject matter hereof and may be amended only in a writing executed by the
party
to be bound thereby.

certificates, documents and instruments and take such other action as may
be
reasonably requested by the other party to carry out the actions and
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
