To determine the availability of exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as such may relate to the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates, the Company is relying on each investor’s representations and warranties included in this Subscription Agreement and the other information provided by each investor in connection herewith.
Prospective investors may not treat the contents of this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Circular or any of the other materials provided by the Company (collectively, the “Offering Materials”), or any prior or subsequent communications from the Company or any of its officers, employees or agents (including “Testing the Waters” materials), as investment, legal or tax advice.

The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business;

(c) the acceptance by the Company of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Company’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. Upon the Company’s acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (1) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (2) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
4. Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to the Company that each of the following is true and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Subscription Agreement:
(a) Requisite Power and Authority. Investor has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out the provisions hereof.

(b) Company Offering Circular; Company Information. Investor acknowledges the public availability of the Offering Circular which can be viewed on the SEC Xxxxx Database, under CIK number 0001902930, and that Investor has reviewed the Offering Circular. Investor acknowledges that the Offering Circular makes clear the terms and conditions of the Offering and that the risks associated therewith are described. Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering. Investor acknowledges that, except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to any advisor or representative of Investor, by the Company with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.
(c) Investment Experience; Investor Suitability. Investor has sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Alternatively, Investor has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and, together, they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Risk Factors”, and has determined that such an investment is suitable for Investor. Investor has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character. Investor is capable of bearing a complete loss of Investor’s investment in the Offered Shares.
(d) No Registration. Investor understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act, on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated, in part, on the truth and accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Offered Shares in the Offering.
Investor further understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the securities laws of any state, on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a registrable public offering in such state.
Investor covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Offered Shares, unless such Offered Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws, or exemptions from such registration requirements are available.
(e) Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is a limited public market for the Offered Shares and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will continue to exist. Investor must, therefore, bear the economic risk of the investment in the Subject Offered Shares indefinitely and Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to bear the economic risk of losing Investor’s entire investment in the Subject Offered Shares.
(f) Investor Status. Investor represents that either:
(1) Investor has a a minimum annual gross income of $70,000 and a minimum net worth of $70,000, exclusive of automobile, home and home furnishings; or

Investor further agrees that, in the event Investor transfers any Offered Shares, Investor will require the transferee of any such Offered Shares to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer.
(h) Valuation; Arbitrary Determination of Share Purchase Price by the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Share Purchase Price of the Offered Shares in the Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. Investor further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that Investor’s investment will bear a lower valuation.
(i) Domicile. Investor maintains Investor’s domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address provided herein.
(j) Foreign Investors. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Investor hereby represents that Investor is in full compliance with the laws of Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Offered Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, (1) the legal requirements within Investor’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Subject Offered Shares, (2) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (3) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (4) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Subject Offered Shares.
