                    The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company and its affiliates as follows:

                    (a)          The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities for his own account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Securities or any portion thereof.

-2-

                    (d)          The Subscriber understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act, or to assist the Subscriber in complying with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States or of any foreign jurisdiction.

                    (e)          The Subscriber is (i) experienced in making investments of the kind described in this Agreement and the related documents, (ii) able, by reason of the business and financial experience of its officers (if an entity) and professional advisors (who are not affiliated with or compensated in any way by the Company or any of its affiliates or selling agents), to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement, and the related documents, and (iii) able to afford the entire loss of its investment in the Securities.

                    (f)          The Subscriber acknowledges his understanding that the offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In furtherance thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of the Subscriber made herein, the Subscriber further represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company and its affiliates as follows:

	(i)	The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Subscriber has in mind merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention;
	(ii)	The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his 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 the Company; and
	(iii)	The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities. The Subscriber also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities; and
	(iv)	The Subscriber 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 Securities, the Company and all other information to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.
	(v)	The Subscriber has carefully reviewed all of the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Subscriber understands that the Company is a shell company, and as such the Securities issued by the Company are subject to further restrictions on their resale.

                    (g)          The Subscriber is not relying on the Company, or its affiliates or agents with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied solely on its

-3-

own advisors.

                    (h)          No representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber 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 Securities the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

                    (i)          Compliance with Local Laws. Any resale of the Securities 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 Securities in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdiction. The Subscriber will not offer to sell or sell the Securities in any jurisdiction unless the Subscriber obtains all required consents, if any.

                    (j)          Regulation S Exemption. The Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Investor to acquire the Securities. In this regard, the Subscriber represents, warrants and agrees that:

	1.	The Subscriber is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) and is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) of the Company and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. A U.S. Person means any one of the following:

	•	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) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person;
	•	any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated or (if an individual) resident in the United States of America; and

-4-

		•	any partnership or corporation if:
	(A) organized or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; and
	(B) 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.

-5-

	2.	At the time of the origination of contact concerning this Agreement and the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Subscriber was outside of the United States.
	3.	The Subscriber will not, during the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Note or Warrants and ending on the six month anniversary of such date, (the “Restricted Period”), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Note or the Warrants 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.
	4.	The Subscriber will, after expiration of the Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Note or Warrants only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom and, in accordance with all applicable state and foreign securities laws.
	5.	The Subscriber was not in the United States, engaged in, and prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period will not engage in, any short selling of or any hedging transaction with respect to the Securities, including without limitation, any put, call or other option transaction, option writing or equity swap.
	6.	Neither the Subscriber nor or any person acting on his behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling efforts to a U.S. Person with respect to the Securities and the Investor and any person acting on his behalf have complied and will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.
	7.	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.
	8.	Neither the Subscriber nor any person acting on his 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 Securities. The Subscriber agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Securities to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Securities, 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.

-6-

	9.	Each certificate representing the Securities shall be endorsed with the following legends, in addition to any other legend required to be placed thereon by applicable federal or state securities laws:
		(A)          “THE SECURITIESARE 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.”
		(B)          “TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS PROHIBITED, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.”
	10.	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 Securities set forth in this Section 2.

                    (k)          The Subscriber 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)          The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Securities is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of his entire investment.

                    (m)          The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

                    (n)          The Subscriber has received all documents, records, books and other information pertaining to the Subscriber’s investment in the Company that has been requested by the Subscriber. The Subscriber has reviewed or received copies of all reports and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Documents”) and no other information has been provided to the Subscriber other than the information contained in the SEC Documents.

                    (o)          The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that all information

-7-

that the Subscriber 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)          Other than as set forth herein, the Subscriber 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 Securities. The Subscriber has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Subscriber, with the Subscriber’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the Securities and on that basis believes that his or its investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for the Subscriber.

                    (q)          The Subscriber 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 Securities or the Company, or (iii) guaranteed or insured any investment in the Securities or any investment made by the Company.

                    (p)          The Subscriber understands that the conversion price of the Note and the exercise price of the Warrants offered hereby bear no relation to the assets, book value or net worth of the Company and were determined arbitrarily by the Company. The Subscriber further understands that there is a substantial risk of further dilution on his or its investment in the Company.

SECTION 4.

                    The Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber as follows:

                    4.1          Organization of the Company. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company.

                    4.2          Authority. (a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to issue the Securities; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required; and (c) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

                    4.3          SEC Documents. To the best of Company’s knowledge, the Company has not provided to the Subscriber any information that, according to applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly prior to the date hereof by the Company, but which has not been so disclosed. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and other federal, state

-8-

and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply as to form and substance in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (a) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (b) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

                    The Company covenants and agrees that except for the SEC Documents, neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will at any time provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Subscriber shall have agreed in writing to keep such information in confidence. The Company understands and confirms that each Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

                    4.5           Exemption from Registration; Valid Issuances. The sale and issuance of the Securities, in accordance with the terms and on the bases of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth herein, may and shall be properly issued by the Company to the Subscriber pursuant to Section 4(2), Regulation S and/or any applicable state law. When issued and paid for as herein provided, the Securities shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. Neither the sales of the Securities pursuant to, nor the Company’s performance of its obligations under, this Agreement shall (a) result in the creation or imposition of any liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances upon the Securities or any of the assets of the Company, or (b) entitle the other holders of the Common Stock of the Company to preemptive or other rights to subscribe to or acquire the Common Stock or other securities of the Company. The Securities shall not subject the Subscriber to personal liability by reason of the ownership thereof.

                    4.6           No General Solicitation or Advertising in Regard to this Transaction. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf (a) has conducted or will conduct any general solicitation (as that term is used in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D) or general advertising with respect to any of the Securities, or (b) made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under any circumstances that would require registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Act.

                    4.7          No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the issuance of the Securities, do not and will not (a) result in a violation of the Certificate or By-Laws of the Company or (b) conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture, instrument or any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company is a party, or (c) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and

-9-

regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company) nor is the Company otherwise in violation of, conflict with or in default under any of the foregoing. The business of the Company is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations that either singly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. The Company is not required under federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell the Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any SEC, NASD or state securities filings that may be required to be made by the Company subsequent to the Closing, any registration statement that may be filed pursuant hereto, and any shareholder approval required by the rules applicable to companies whose common stock trades on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board); provided that, for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Subscriber herein.

SECTION 5.

                    5.2          Modification. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof shall be modified, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought.

                    5.4          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed through the use of separate signature pages or in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, and each of such counterparts shall, for all purposes, constitute one agreement binding on all parties, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.

                    5.5          Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns.

In general, a foreign or US entity which is not an operating company and which is not publicly traded or registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and in which 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest is held by employee pension or welfare plans (including an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such plan), would be deemed to hold the assets of one or more employee benefit plans pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101. However, if only Non-ERISA Plans were invested in such an entity, the entity generally would not be subject to ERISA. For purposes of determining whether this 25% threshold has been met or exceeded, the value of any equity interest

In determining whether spouses who are making a joint investment in the Partnership are qualified purchasers, there may be included in the amount of each spouse’s investments any investments owned by the other spouse (whether or not such investments are held jointly). There shall be deducted from the amount of any such investments any amounts specified by paragraph 2(a) of Annex 2 incurred by such spouse.

In determining whether a natural person is a qualified purchaser, there may be included in the amount of such person’s investments any investments held in an individual retirement account or similar account the investments of which are directed by and held for the benefit of such person.

Annex 2

VALUATIONS OF INVESTMENTS

The general rule for determining the value of investments in order to ascertain whether a person is a qualified purchaser is that the value of the aggregate amount of investments owned and invested on a discretionary basis by such person shall be their fair market value on the most recent practicable date or their cost. This general rule is subject to the following provisos:

1)	In the case of Commodity Shares, the amount of investments shall be the value of the initial margin or option premium deposited in connection with such Commodity Shares; and
2)	In each case, there shall be deducted from the amount of investments owned by such person the following amounts:
