You as an individual or you on behalf of a subscribing entity are being asked to complete this Subscription Agreement so a determination can be made as to whether or not you are qualified under applicable federal and state securities laws to purchase the Shares.
Your answers to the questions contained herein must be true and correct in all respects, and a false representation by you may constitute a violation of law for which a claim for damages may otherwise be made against you.
Your answers will be kept strictly confidential; however, by signing this Subscription Agreement, you will be authorizing the Company to present a completed copy of this Subscription Agreement to such parties as it may deem appropriate in order to make certain that the offer and sale of the Shares will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or of the securities laws of any state.
This Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, or any other security.
All questions must be answered. If the appropriate answer is “None” or “Not Applicable,” please so state. Please print or type your answers to all questions and attach additional sheets if necessary to complete your answers to any item. Please initial any correction.
INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIBERS:
If the Shares subscribed for are to be owned by more than one person, you and the other co-subscriber must each complete a separate Subscription Agreement (except if the co-subscriber is your spouse and Statement 1, 2 or 3 of Part A under Section III below has been checked) and sign the signature page hereto. If your spouse is a co-subscriber, you must indicate his or her name and social security number.
CORPORATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, PENSION PLANS AND TRUSTS:
The information requested herein relates to the subscribing entity and not to you personally (unless otherwise determined in the ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS Section). An authorized representative must sign the signature page of the Subscription Agreement, thereby providing consent to be bound by its terms.

2.

1. I must bear the economic risk of investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, since the Shares have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, therefore, cannot be sold unless either they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available and a favorable opinion of counsel for the Company to that effect is obtained (if requested by the Company).
2. I consent to the affixing by the Company of such legends on certificates representing the Shares and the underlying securities as any applicable federal or state securities law may require from time to time.

| e. | The undersigned, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business entity, (i) is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Shares, (ii) has obtained such additional tax and other advice that it has deemed necessary in connection with this purchase, (iii) has its principal place of business at its residence address set forth in the Subscription Agreement, and (iv) has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares (although this may not necessarily disqualify the subscriber as an investor). The persons executing the Subscription Agreement, as well as all other documents related to the Offering, represent that they are duly authorized to execute all such documents on behalf of the entity. (If the undersigned is one of the aforementioned entities, it agrees to supply any additional written information that may be required); |

|
|
| g. | I further agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Offering described in the Memorandum; and |
