addition to the other representations and warranties of the undersigned made
herein, the undersigned further represents and warrants to and agrees with the
Company and its affiliates as follows:
(1) The
undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if,

market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The undersigned
does not have any such intention;
2
(2) The

investment, has adequate means for providing for his current needs and personal
contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to his investment in

been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares; and

undersigned has been provided an opportunity for a reasonable period of time
prior to the date hereof to obtain additional information concerning the
offering of the Shares, the Company and all other information to the extent the
Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort
or expense.
(g) Economic
Considerations. The undersigned is not relying on the Company,
or its affiliates or agents with respect to economic considerations involved in
this investment. The undersigned has relied solely on its own
advisors.
(h) No Other Company
Representations. No representations or warranties have been
made to the undersigned by the Company, or any officer, employee, agent,
affiliate or subsidiary of the Company, other than the representations of the
Company contained herein, and in subscribing for Shares the undersigned is not
relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.
(i) Compliance with
Laws. Any resale of the Shares during the ‘distribution
compliance period’ as defined in Rule 902(f) to Regulation S shall only be made
in compliance with exemptions from registration afforded by Regulation
S. Further, any such sale of the Shares in any jurisdiction outside
of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such
jurisdiction. The Investor will not offer to sell or sell the Shares
in any jurisdiction unless the Investor obtains all required consents, if
any.

requirements of United States federal and state securities laws under Regulation

Check
if applicable, otherwise cross out:
(k) Accredited
Investor. The undersigned is an “accredited investor” as that
term is defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act by reason of Rule 501(a)(3).
(l) Potential Loss of
Investment; Risk Factors. The undersigned 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. The
undersigned understands that the following factors, among others, could cause
the loss of any or all of his investment.
(1) The
Company is a development stage company with no operating history for the
undersigned to evaluate its business. The Company was incorporated in
the State of Nevada and is only in the very early stages of
development. Because the Company has no operating history, it is
difficult to evaluate its business and future prospects. The
undersigned has also considered the uncertainties and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies, such as the Company, in their early stages of
development. The Company’s revenue and income potential is
non-existent and its business model is still emerging. If its
business model does not prove to be profitable, the undersigned may lose all of
his investment.
(2) The
Company currently does not have enough working capital to satisfy its capital
needs. The Company is dependent upon its management team to fund its
ongoing operations, and cannot be certain that future financing will be
available to it on acceptable terms when it needs it. The Company can
give no assurances that it will be able to sell any portion of this offering or
that management will continue to fund its ongoing operations. This,
along with the possibility of other factors and circumstances the Company cannot
predict, may require it to seek additional financing faster than
anticipated. If the Company is unable to obtain financing to meet its
needs, the undersigned may lose of his investment.
(3) The
Company’s officers and directors will only devote a limited amount of time to
the Company. Their divided interests may hinder the Company's ability
to generate revenue. This could result in missed business
opportunities and worse-than-expected operating results. The
undersigned may lose his entire investment.
(m) Investment
Commitment. The undersigned'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.
(n) Receipt of
Information. The undersigned has received all documents,
records, books and other information pertaining to the undersigned’s investment
in the Company that has been requested by the undersigned.
6
(o) Investor
Questionnaire. The undersigned represents and warrants to the
Company that all information that the undersigned has provided to the Company,
including, without limitation, the information in the Investor Questionnaire
attached hereto or previously provided to the Company (the “Investor
Questionnaire”), is correct and complete as of the date hereof.
(p) No
Reliance. Other than as set forth herein, the undersigned is
not relying upon any other information, representation or warranty by the
Company or any officer, director, stockholder, agent or representative of the
Company in determining to invest in the Shares. The undersigned has
consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by the undersigned, with the
undersigned’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters
concerning an investment in the Shares and on that basis believes that his or
its investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for the
undersigned.
(q) No Governmental
Review. The undersigned is aware that no federal or state
agency has (i) made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this
investment, (ii) made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the
Company, or (iii) guaranteed or insured any investment in the Shares or any
investment made by the Company.
(r) Price of
Shares. The undersigned understands that the price of the
Shares offered hereby bear no relation to the assets, book value or net worth of
the Company and were determined arbitrarily by the Company. The
undersigned further understands that there is a substantial risk of further
dilution on his or its investment in the Company.

and certifies that the Subscriber has the relationship(s) to the Company or its
directors, senior officers or control persons by virtue of the Subscriber

The
foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the date of

such representations and warranties shall not be true and accurate prior to
Closing, the Subscriber shall give immediate written notice of such fact to the

For the

a.
|
“close
business associate” means an individual who has had sufficient prior
business dealings with the director, senior officer or control person to
be in a position to assess the capabilities and trustworthiness of the
director, senior officer or control
person.
|
A casual
business associate or a person introduced or solicited for the purpose of
purchasing securities is not a close business associate. An
individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is a
client or former client. For example, an individual is not a close
business associate of a registrant or former registrant solely because the
individual is a client or former client of that registrant or former
registrant.

person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available
for a close business associate of a close business associate or a director,
senior officer or control person.
b.
|
“close
personal friend” means an individual who has known the director, senior
officer or control person for a sufficient period of time to be in a
position to assess the capabilities and trustworthiness of the director,
senior officer or control person.
|
An
individual is not a close personal friend solely because
·
|
the
individual is a member of the same organization, association or religious
group, or
|
·
|
the
