undersigned, together with any offeree representatives of the undersigned (as
identified in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire) has such knowledge and
experience in financial business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. The undersigned

Offering and to obtain any such additional information that the undersigned
deems necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information contained

(13)
(i) The
undersigned understands that none of the Securities have been registered under
the 1933 Act or any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions for private
offerings; the Securities cannot be resold or otherwise disposed of unless
they
are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities
laws or an exemption from registration is available. The certificate(s)
representing the Securities will bear a legend substantially similar to the
legend set forth immediately below until (i) such Securities shall have been
registered under the 1933 Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with
a
registration statement, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company such securities may be sold without registration
under the 1933 Act:
“THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "1933 ACT"), OR THE "BLUE SKY" OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY
NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (i)
PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT WHICH HAS BECOME
EFFECTIVE AND IS CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, OR (ii) PURSUANT
TO A
SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT BUT ONLY UPON A HOLDER
THEREOF FIRST HAVING OBTAINED THE WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION IS CONSISTENT WITH
ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE 1933 ACT AS WELL AS ANY APPLICABLE "BLUE SKY"
OR SIMILAR SECURITIES LAWS."
(ii) The
undersigned understands that in the absence of registration by the Company,
the
Securities will not be, and, except as set forth in Section D of this
Subscription Agreement, the undersigned will have no rights to require that
the
Securities shall be, registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws;
the undersigned may have to hold the Securities indefinitely and it may not
be
possible for the undersigned to liquidate his, her or its investment in the
Company; and the undersigned should not purchase any Securities unless he,
she
or it can afford a complete loss of his, her or its investment and bear the
burden of such loss for an indefinite period of time.
(iii) The
undersigned understands there is no public market for the Securities and that
no
public market may develop for any such Securities. The undersigned understands
that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act to permit resales
of the Securities are not available for at least one (1) year after the same
class of securities is registered under the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934
Act”),
and
there can be no assurances that any such class of securities will ever be
registered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, or even if such class of
securities is registered under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, that the
conditions necessary thereafter to permit routine sales of the Securities under
Rule 144 will ever be satisfied, and, if Rule 144 should become available,
routine sales made in reliance on its provisions could be made only in limited
amounts and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144. The
undersigned further understands that in connection with the sale of securities
for which Rule 144 is not available, compliance with some other exemption from
registration will be required. The undersigned understands, subject to the
provisions of Section D of this Subscription Agreement, that the Company is
under no obligation to the undersigned to register any such class of securities
or to comply with the conditions of Rule 144 or take any other action necessary
in order to make available any exemption for the resale of the Securities
without registration.
-5-
(14) The
undersigned, if an individual, is at least 21 years of age.
(15) If
at any
time prior to issuance of the Securities to the undersigned, any representation
or warranty of the undersigned shall no longer be true, the undersigned promptly
shall give written notice thereof to the Company specifying which
representations and warranties are not true and the reason therefore, whereupon
the undersigned's subscription may be rejected by the Company in whole or in
part.
(16) Notwithstanding
the place where this Subscription Agreement may be executed by any of the
parties hereto, all of the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
New
York,
without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute that
may
arise out of or in connection with this Subscription Agreement shall be
adjudicated before a court located in New
York
City
and the
parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state
and
local courts of the State of New
York
located
in New
York
City
and of
the federal courts in the Southern
District
of New
York
with
respect to any action or legal proceeding commenced by any party, and
irrevocably waive any objection they now or hereafter may have respecting the
venue of any action or proceeding brought in such a court or respecting the
fact
that such court is an inconvenient forum, relating to or arising out of this
Subscription Agreement or any acts or omissions relating to the sale of the
Securities, and the undersigned consents to the service of process in any such
action or legal proceeding by means of registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, in care of the address set forth below or such other address
as the undersigned shall furnish in writing to the Company.
(17) THE
UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT, FRAUD
OR
OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT OR THE UNDERSIGNED'S PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES.
(18) The
undersigned acknowledges that he, she or it understands the meaning and legal
consequences of the representations, warranties and acknowledgments contained
in
this Subscription Agreement and in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, and
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its
stockholders, officers, directors, affiliates, controlling persons, agents
and
representatives, from and against any and all loss, damage, expense, claim,
action, suit or proceeding (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal
counsel) as incurred arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with
(i) a breach of any representation or warranty of the undersigned contained
in
this Subscription Agreement or in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire (ii)
any
sale or distribution by the undersigned in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable state securities laws or (iii) any untrue statement of a material
fact made by the undersigned and contained herein or in the Qualified Purchaser
Questionnaire, or omission to state herein or in the Qualified Purchaser
Questionnaire, a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or in the Qualified Purchaser Questionnaire, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The undersigned
acknowledges that such damage could be substantial since (a) the Securities
are
being offered without registration under the 1933 Act in reliance upon the
exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D of the 1933 Act for
transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and, in various
states, pursuant to exemptions from registration, (b) the availability of such
exemptions is, in part, dependent upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the
representations made by the undersigned herein and in its Qualified Purchaser
Questionnaire, and (c) the Company will rely on such representations in
accepting the undersigned's Subscription Agreement.
-6-
(19) The
undersigned is not subscribing for the Securities as a result of or subsequent
to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio,
any
seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not
previously known to the undersigned in connection with investments in securities
generally.
(20) Unless
otherwise indicated on a separate sheet of paper that details any such
affiliation submitted by the undersigned to the Company along with this
completed Subscription Agreement, the undersigned is not affiliated directly
or
indirectly with a member broker-dealer firm of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. as an employee, officer, director, partner or
shareholder or as a relative or member of the same household of an employee,
director, partner or shareholder of an NASD member broker-dealer
firm.

agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereunder and may be amended only by a writing executed by all of the parties
hereto. The undersigned represents that he, she or it has full power and
authority (corporate, statutory or otherwise) to execute and deliver this
Subscription Agreement and the other Offering Materials to which the undersigned
is a party and to purchase the Securities. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Subscription Agreement and the Qualified Purchaser
Questionnaire will not: (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default under
any provision of the Certificate or By-Laws (or analogous organizational
documents), if any, of the undersigned; or (ii) violate or result in a
violation of, or constitute a default (whether after the giving of notice,
lapse
of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any
order of, or any restriction imposed by any court or other governmental agency
applicable to the undersigned, except for those which do not, or are not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the undersigned’s ability to perform its
obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the Qualified Purchaser
Questionnaire and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the undersigned, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance
with its terms. This Subscription Agreement supersedes all prior arrangements

Appendix
A
Risk
Factors
If
the
Company does not sell at least 30 Units with gross proceeds of $3,000,000,
then
it may have to modify its business plan and/or seek to raise additional capital
from equity or debt sources, which may impose limits on its financial and
operating flexibility. The Company cannot assure prospective investors that
any
financing arrangements will be available or, if available, that it will be
on
acceptable terms.
Even
if
the Company sells the Maximum and the entire Over Allotment, the Company’s
ability to meet its projected growth plans may require additional cash resources
from equity or debt sources, which also may impose limits on its financial
and
operating flexibility. Again, the Company cannot assure you that any financing
arrangements will be available or, if available, that it will be on acceptable
terms.
See
also the Risk Factors set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 and the Risk Factors set
forth
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005.
