1.4
The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, SEC Filings (defined below) and any documents (if any) which may have been made available upon request of the Subscriber (collectively referred to as the "Offering Materials") and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of this Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms
and conditions of this Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of this Offering.
1.5
(a)
In making the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials (if any), and the Company's available public filings.

1.7
The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that this Offering has not been reviewed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state regulatory authority since this Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

1.8
The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber's investment intention.

PIGGY BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
4.1
If, at any time during the period beginning on the day after the acceptance of this Agreement by the Company (the "Closing Date") and ending 12 months after the Closing Date the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering for its own account of any class of its equity securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or any other registration statement relating solely to employee benefit plans or filed in connection with an exchange offer, a transaction to which Rule 145 (or any successor provision) under the Act applies or an offering of securities solely to the Company's existing shareholders), then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to Subscriber (the "the Holder") as soon as practicable (but no later than 20 business days) before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer Holder the opportunity to register such number of Shares held by Holder on such date (the "Restricted Stock") as such Holder may request. Holder desiring to have Restricted Stock included in such registration statement shall so advise the Corporation in writing within 10 business days after the date on which the Company's notice is so given, setting forth the number of shares of Restricted Stock for which registration is requested. If the Company's offering is to be an underwritten offering, the Company shall, subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters to permit the Restricted Stock requested to be included in the registration for such offering to include in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. The right of Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 4 in connection with an underwritten offering by the Company shall, unless the Company otherwise assents, be conditioned upon Holder's participation as a seller in such underwritten offering and its execution of an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering deliver a written opinion to the Company that either because of (a) the kind of securities that the Company, the Holder and any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering or (b) the size of the offering that the Company, the Holder and any other persons or entities intend to make, the success of the offering would be materially and adversely affected by inclusion of the Restricted Stock requested to be included, then in the event that the size of the offering is the basis of such managing underwriter's opinion, the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be registered and offered for the account of Holder shall be reduced to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters.
