The Company and the Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement in reliance upon the exemptions from securities registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).







The Company desires to sell, and the Subscriber desires to purchase, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Subscription Agreement, six thousand (6,000) Units (the "Units") at the price of one hundred dollars ($100.00) each. Each Unit consists of two hundred and fifty (250) shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and a 3-year Warrant to purchase up to an additional two hundred and fifty (250) shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.65 per share of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the Common Stock, the “Units”).  The minimum subscription per Subscriber is One thousand (1,000) Units; however, in the Company's sole discretion it may accept subscriptions for a lesser number of Units.  The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.” The Units, the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities” and each of them may individually be referred to herein as a “Security”.







The Company reserves the right to increase the amount of this offering and amend the offering terms without notice or approval from prior subscribers in the offering and it reserves the right to accept a lesser number of Units.  The Units are offered solely to Accredited Investors (as hereinafter defined).







The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth in this Subscription Agreement without limitation.







NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Subscriber hereby agree as follows:







1.             Recitals.







The above recitals are true and correct and constitute the terms of this Subscription Agreement where applicable.







2.             Subscription.







Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units set forth on the signature page hereto and, as full payment therefore, agrees to pay to the Company, concurrently with the Subscriber’s execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the sum of $100.00 in cash for each Unit purchased.







This offering may be modified by the Company’s management at its sole discretion without approval from, or notice to Subscriber, including but not limited to, increases or reductions in the Unit price, offering terms, and number and type of Securities contained within the Unit.  At the sole discretion of the Company’s management, the Company may conduct other offerings of its securities while it is conducting this offering with terms that may not be similar or comparable to this offering.

3.             Subscriber's Representations and Warranties.  As a material inducement for the Company to enter into this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company as follows:







3.1           Purchase for Subscriber’s Own Account.  The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber's own account and not with a view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under the Securities Act.  The Subscriber understands that Subscriber must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of registering the resale of any such Securities.







3.2           Investment Intention of Subscriber.  The Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention.  In connection with this, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the Subscriber’s representation merely meant that its present intention was to hold such securities for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming that a market develops, or for any other fixed period.  The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with its representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale to which such exemptions are not available.







3.3           Reliance on Exemptions from Registration.  The Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein without limitation in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities.







3.4           Lack of Governmental Approval or Review.   The Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any State Securities Commission or any foreign governmental authority of any country nor has the SEC or any State Securities Commission or foreign governmental authority of any jurisdiction passed upon the accuracy of any information provided to the Subscriber or passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of the securities or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the offering. The Subscriber will furnish evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the laws of any jurisdiction that, in the opinion of the Company, may be applicable, and the Company shall be entitled to require and rely upon an opinion of counsel at the expense of Subscriber which must be satisfactory to the Company with respect to compliance with laws of any jurisdiction deemed applicable by the Company.

3.5           Accredited Investor Status, and Suitability.  The Subscriber has read and understands Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and represents that he is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined by Rule 501(a).  The Subscriber further represents that he is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to a variety of sophisticated and complex investments that present investment decisions like those involved in the purchase of the Securities.  The Subscriber, in reaching a decision to subscribe, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of reading, interpreting and understanding financial statements and evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and has the net worth to undertake such risks.  Subscriber has invested in securities offered by the Company and/or investments in the securities of companies comparable to the Company that involve non-trading, and/or thinly traded securities and penny stocks, unregistered securities, restricted securities, high risk investments, operating losses and securities which are not listed or quoted on any national securities exchange.  The Subscriber represents that in addition to its own ability to evaluate the investment, it has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to it to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on its behalf, and that he recognizes the highly speculative nature of an investment in the Securities.  The Subscriber is familiar with the business operations and financial affairs of the Company.







3.6           Financial Suitability.  Subscriber understands that Subscriber may be unable to liquidate the Securities and any transfer of the Securities is limited. The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Subscriber’s net worth, and the investment in the Securities will not cause the Subscriber’s overall investment in illiquid high-risk investments to become excessive in proportion to Subscriber’s assets, liabilities and living standards.  The Subscriber can bear the economic risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time and can bear a loss of the entire investment in the Securities without financial hardship or a change in its living conditions.







3.7           Company Information.  The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that:







a.           No offering memorandum or similar disclosure document has been prepared in connection with the sale of the Units.  The Subscriber has read this Subscription Agreement and is familiar with the terms of the Securities.







b.           In making the decision to purchase the Securities, the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s advisors have, prior to any sale to the Subscriber, been given access and the opportunity to examine all books and records of the Company, all contracts and documents relating to the Company, and all filings made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,  and an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided to the Subscriber. The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s advisors have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested.

c.           The only representations and warranties being given to the Subscriber by the Company are as contained in this Subscription Agreement.







d.           The Subscriber understands that this offering has not been registered under the Securities Act and is being made in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Subscriber must rely upon the Subscriber’s own access to information about the Company and the offering. The Subscriber has requested, received, reviewed, understands and considered all information it deems relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities, including but not limited to the Company’s financial information, and the Subscriber has conducted independent due diligence in matters involving the Company. Subscriber has consulted with Subscriber’s legal, tax, and investment advisors regarding its investment in the Securities and has received their approval to invest in the Securities. The Subscriber hereby represents that, in Subscriber’s opinion, it has received information equivalent to that which would be provided to an Investor in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.  The Subscriber understands that the Subscriber or the Subscriber's representatives have been and will continue to be provided with access to the Company's financial records through its public filings with the SEC.  The Subscriber has furnished the Subscriber’s legal, tax and financial advisors with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, and the Subscriber has advised the Company that the offering, according to its terms, will, in the opinion of the Subscriber, be made in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws.







3.8           Representations of Income or Profit.  The Subscriber is not investing in the Securities based upon any representation, oral or written, by any person with respect to the future value of, if any, or the income from, if any, the Securities.  Neither the Company, the Placement Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees or agents, or any other persons have represented, guaranteed or warranted, whether expressly or by implication, that: (i) the Company or the Subscriber will realize any given percentage of profits and/or amount or type of consideration, profit or loss as a result of the Company’s activities or the Subscriber’s investment in the Company; or (ii) the past performance or experience of the Company’s management, or of any other person, will in any way indicate predictable results regarding the ownership of the Company’s securities, the future value of the Company’s securities, or of the Company’s activities.







3.9           Use of Proceeds.  Subscriber acknowledges that the Company's management has the sole discretion over the use of proceeds of the offering and there are no assurances that the Company will use the proceeds as the Company currently intends.  As a result, the Company's management may spend the proceeds on a broad variety of items including, without limitation, operating expenses, loans, salaries, joint ventures, partnerships, or other business arrangements formed now or to be formed in the future, any or all of which may never be successful.  Subscriber acknowledges that it will have no control or ability to influence or participate in the determination of how the proceeds from this offering will be utilized and the use of the proceeds by management cannot currently be predicted with any accuracy.

3.10         Limited Public Market.  The Company’s shares are not quoted and not traded on any national stock exchange, but rather on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC.BB”), and Subscriber understands and acknowledges that there is no guaranty that the Company’s shares will ever be quoted or traded on a national stock exchange or Nasdaq.







3.11         Transfer, Resale and/or Pledge.  The Subscriber understands that the offer and sale of the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless:







(a)           the transfer is made pursuant to and as set forth in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Securities; or







(b)           the Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company at the Subscriber’s expense an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance, scope and law firm acceptable to the Company) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or







(c)           sold under and in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or







(d)           sold or transferred in accordance with applicable securities laws to an affiliate of the Subscriber who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with the provisions of this Section and who is an Accredited Investor; and neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.







Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may not be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement, unless such pledge is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations and at the Company’s option, the pledgor provides the Company with a legal opinion (which opinion shall be in form, substance, scope and law firm acceptable to the Company) that the pledge or other lending agreement is in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws.







3.12         Rule 144 Resales.  The Subscriber has read and understands that Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other conditions, a six (6) month holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or its dissemination to the public of any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by Rule 144 as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber is aware that the safe harbor provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act is not now available for Subscriber’s resale of the Securities and Rule 144 may never become available for Subscriber’s resale of the Securities or any portion thereof.

3.12.1                       Deposit and Resale of Securities. Subscriber understands that, in addition to the restricted stock requirements of Rule 144 set forth in Section 3.12, above, clearing brokers may decline to deposit into Subscriber’s account a stock certificate for a security that (1) has a closing price below one cent ($0.01) and/or (2) has stale or incomplete filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or with Canada’s System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR]. Moreover, in the event that Company files with Pink Sheets, clearing brokers may decline to even consider depositing Company’s securities. In addition to these conditions and limitations, Subscriber understands that clearing brokers may subject Company’s securities to additional review before accepting such securities for deposit. This review process may (1) take up to two weeks or longer and (2) may include research into Company and/or Subscriber.

Clearing brokers may also charge a fee to Subscriber’s account for this review.

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state of the United States or in any other jurisdiction. The securities represented hereby may not be offered, sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under applicable securities laws unless offered, sold or transferred pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of those laws.”







3.14           Authorization; Enforcement.  This Subscription Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Subscriber and is a valid and binding agreement of such Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.  If the Subscriber is a corporation, the corporation is duly incorporated or organized and validly existing in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to purchase and hold the Securities.  The decision to invest and the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement by a corporate Subscriber, the performance of the obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized and require no other proceedings on the part of the Subscriber.  The individual signing this Subscription Agreement has all right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the corporate Subscriber.

I agree to furnish to the Company additional information requested by it in connection with its determination of whether an offer and sale of the Company securities may be made to me.

The undersigned has considered that he might have to hold the proposed investment for an indefinite period of time, and might have to bear a complete economic loss.  The undersigned represents that the information contained in the Questionnaire, which has been completed by the undersigned and delivered to the Company, is true and correct.







The purchase of the securities of the Company by the undersigned will be solely for the account of the undersigned and not for the account of any other person and will not be made with a view to any resale or distribution thereof.







The undersigned recognizes that the proposed investment is being offered in a manner that is intended to comply with the requirements of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that any acceptance of the undersigned's Subscription Agreement by the Company will have been induced by the reliance of the Company on the correctness of the representations contained therein and herein.







The undersigned understands that, in addition to the restricted stock requirements of Rule 144, clearing brokers may decline to deposit into undersigned’s account any stock certificate for a security that (1) has a closing price below one cent ($0.01) and/or (2) has stale or incomplete filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or with Canada’s System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR]. Moreover, in the event that Company files with Pink Sheets, clearing brokers may decline to even consider depositing Company’s securities. In addition to these conditions and limitations, the undersigned understands that clearing brokers may subject Company’s securities to additional review before accepting such securities for deposit. This review process may (1) take up to two weeks or longer and (2) may include research into Company and/or the undersigned. The undersigned also understands that certain characteristics triggering additional review include but may not be limited to: (1) low price of the security or securities under review; (2) large number of shares being deposited with clearing broker into the undersigned’s account; (3) the securities in question are non-exchange traded; (4) the stock certificates are recently issued; (5) recent merger activity of the underlying Company; and/or (6) change of name of the underlying Company issuing these stock certificates. Clearing brokers may also charge a fee to Subscriber’s account for this review. Finally, the undersigned understands that all of the aforementioned conditions, limitations, and characteristics triggering review may apply to the undersigned’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC] requests, Automated Customer Account Transfer Account Service [ACATS] requests, and Depository Trust Company [DTC] receipts for deposit requests.
