1.   Investor’s Representations, Warranties, and Covenants


As a condition to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities, the Investor represents, warrants, acknowledges, and agrees that the following are true as of the date first written below:


1.1   Investment Intent. The Investor is acquiring the Securities solely for investment for such Investor’s own account and has no agreement, understanding or arrangement to subdivide, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities to any other person. The Investor understands that the Securities are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws in reliance upon exemptions from registration, and the Securities cannot be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by the Investor unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available at the time of the desired sale. Therefore, the Investor must bear the economic risk of an investment in such Securities for an indefinite period. The Investor has no right to require registration of such Securities under federal or state securities laws. The Investor further confirms that the Investor understands that the reliance by the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of the statements by the Investor in this Agreement.


1.2   Compliance with Securities Laws. The Investor understands that the Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (“Rule 144”) (provided that the Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such rule) or Rule 144A, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company and its transfer agent an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company and its transfer agent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its transfer agent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.


1.3   Knowledge; Information. The Investor has such substantial knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and in similar investments in particular, that the Investor is capable of reading and understanding information about the Company and evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Securities. The Investor represents and warrants that the Investor (a) has been furnished with all information that the Investor deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Securities, (b) has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the information received about the Securities and the Company, and (c) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional

information the Investor deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Securities and the Company. The Investor has obtained, in the judgment of the Investor, sufficient information to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, including the “risk factors” contained in the SEC Reports (as defined below).  The Investor has not relied and will not rely upon any offering material or literature other than the SEC Reports and this Subscription Agreement or upon any information given to the Investor by persons other than the Company and its officers.
