Decision

The decision of the Subscriber to enter into this agreement and to
purchase Shares pursuant hereto has been based only on the representation
of this agreement and any collateral business plan or offering memorandum
provided herewith or based upon the Subscriber’s relationship with the
foregoing stated person of the Corporation. It is not made on other
information relating to the Corporation and not upon any oral
representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the
Corporation or any other person. The Subscriber agrees that the
Corporation assumes no responsibility or liability of any nature
whatsoever for the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any business
plan
information, which has been created based upon the Corporation’s
management experience. In particular, and without limiting the generality

Speculative
Investment.
The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Shares is a

of
management’s plans. Management’s plans are an effort to apply present
knowledge and experience to project a future course of action which
is
hoped will result in financial success employing the Corporation’s assets
and present level of management’s skills, and those whom the Corporation
will need to attract (which cannot be assured). Additionally, all
plans
are capable of being frustrated by new or unrecognized or unappreciated
circumstances which can typically not be accurately, or at all,
predicted.

This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable

|
|
·
|
Compliance
with Applicable Laws.
The Subscriber knows of no reason why the delivery of this Agreement,
the
acceptance of it by the Corporation and the issuance of the Shares
or
resultant Shares to the Subscriber will not comply with all applicable
