 Attention: Noble Trenham 
 Gentlepersons: 
 The undersigned understands that Pacific Rim Foods, Ltd., (the “Company”) is
offering for sale to certain qualified investors 2000 Units at $500.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Company common stock (the “Shares”) and one Class A Warrant to purchase 1250 shares of Empire Energy Corporation
International common stock at prices between $.05 and $.20 per share (the “Units” or “Securities”). The Securities are being offered for sale pursuant to a Private Placement. 
 1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions herein the undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for
             Units and agrees to deliver to the Placement Agent, together with this Subscription Agreement, his/her check payable to the order of “Pacific Rim Foods,
Ltd.” in an amount equal to the number of Units subscribed for multiplied by $500.00 The minimum investment is $10,000 (20 Units). 
 2. Acceptance of Subscription. It is understood and agreed that the Company shall have the right to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, and that the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the
Company only when it is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Once accepted by the Company, this subscription shall be irrevocable. In the event this subscription is rejected by the Company, the proceeds of this subscription will be
returned promptly to the undersigned without interest or deduction for any expenses. 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the
Undersigned. The undersigned hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company and each officer, employee and agent of the Company that: 
 (a) The undersigned is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of SEC Regulation D, as presently in effect. He/She has adequate means of providing for his/her current needs and possible personal
contingencies, and he/she has no need now, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Shares or common stock underlying the Warrants for which he/she hereby subscribes. He/She is able to bear the economic risks of this
investment, and consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, he/she is able to hold his/her Units indefinitely and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of his/her entire investment in the Units in the event such loss
should occur. 
 (b) He/She is a director or executive officer of the Company or 
 (c) He/She, either individually or jointly with his/her spouse (i) has a net worth of at least $1,000,000, or (ii) he/she had
income in each of the last two tax years in 










 
excess of $200,000, or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000, and has reasonable expectations of reaching the same income level
in the current tax year. 
 (d) He/She has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units. 
 (e) He/She recognizes that this investment in the Units
involves a high degree of risk which may result in the loss of the total amount of his/her investment. He/She acknowledges that he/she has carefully considered all risks incident to the purchase of the Units, and that he/she has been advised and is
fully aware that an investment in the Company is highly speculative. 
 (f) He/She is acquiring the Securities for his/her own
account (as principal) or for the account of his/her spouse (either in a joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety or tenancy in common) for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. 
 (g) He/She has not offered or sold any portion of his/her Securities and has no present intention of dividing his/her Securities with
others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of his/her Securities either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.

 (h) He/She is aware that he/she must bear the economic risk of his/her investment in the Securities for an indefinite
period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the securities laws of any state, and therefore cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available and, further that only the Company can take action to register the Securities and the Company is under no obligation and do not
propose to attempt to do so. He/She also recognizes that no federal or state agency has passed upon the Securities to date or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Securities. 
 (i) He/She has the opportunity to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement made by officers and directors
of the Company, and to evaluate the merits, and has been given the opportunity to meet with officers and directors of the Company and to have said officers and directors answer any questions regarding the terms and conditions of this particular
investment, and all such questions have been answered to his/her full satisfaction. In reaching the conclusion that he/she desired to acquire the Units, he/she has carefully evaluated his/her financial resources and investments and acknowledges that
he/she is able to bear the economic risks of this investment. 
 (j) He/She has received no representations from the officers
or directors of the Company, its Affiliates or their employees or agents, other than those contained in this document and in the Private Placement Memorandum dated July 5, 2006. In making

his/her decision to become an investor in the Company he/she has relied solely upon his/her review of such documents and independent investigations made by
him/her without assistance of the Company, its Affiliates or their employees or agents. 
 (k) He/She represents that it has
never been guaranteed or warranted to the undersigned by the Company, its officers or directors or by any other person, expressly or by implication, that the undersigned will receive any approximate or exact amount of return or other type of
consideration, profit or loss as a result of any investment in the Units; or that the past performance or experience on the part of the Company, any director, officer or any affiliate, will in any way indicate or predict the results of the ownership
of Units or of the overall success of the Company.

limitations imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and by applicable state securities laws, are applicable to his/her purchase and the resale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of the Securities: 
 (i) He/She agrees that the Securities shall not be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred unless they are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

as to restrict the resale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer thereof.
