(a)           Experience and counsel.  The Subscriber has the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters for properly evaluating the risks of an investment in the Company and has sought all such counsel as the Subscriber has considered advisable.


 


(b)           Adequacy of information.  The Subscriber has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and the Subscriber has received all information regarding the Company reasonably requested by the Subscriber in order to evaluate an investment in the Company.


 


(c)           Independent investigation.  In making a decision to invest in the Company the Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigations made by the Subscriber, and the particular tax consequences arising from an investment in the Company will depend upon the Subscriber’s individual circumstances and is at his sole risk.


 


(d)           Principal.  The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares as principal for the Subscriber’s own account and not for the benefit of any other person, except as otherwise stated herein, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any of the Securities.


 


(e)           Decision to purchase.  The decision of the Subscriber to enter into this Agreement and to purchase Shares pursuant hereto has been based only on the representations of this Agreement and any accompanying offering memorandum, if any.  It is not made on other information relating to the Company and not upon any oral representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company or by any person which contradicts this Agreement or any offering memorandum.  The Subscriber agrees that the Company assumes no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever for the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any business plan information which has been created based upon the Company’s management experience.  In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the decision to subscribe for Shares has not been influenced by:


 



	
  

	
(i)

	
newspaper, magazine or other media articles or reports related to the Company or their businesses;







 



	
  

	
(ii)

	
promotional literature or other materials used by the Company for sales or marketing purposes; or







 



	
  

	
(iii)

	
any representations, oral or otherwise, that any of the Securities will be repurchased or have any guaranteed future realizable value or that there is any certainty as to the success of the Company or the liquidity or value of any of the securities of the Company.







 


(f)           Advertisements.  The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has not purchased Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising, including advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.

(g)           Information not received.  The Subscriber has not received, nor has the Subscriber requested, nor does the Subscriber have any need to receive, any offering memorandum or any other document (other than documents the content of which is prescribed by statute or regulation) describing the business and affairs of the Company which has been prepared for delivery to, and review by, prospective purchasers in order to assist them in making an investment decision in respect of the Shares, and the Subscriber has not become aware of any advertisement in printed media of general and regular paid circulation, radio or television with respect to the distribution of the Shares.


 


(h)           Economic risk.  The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Subscriber’s investment in and to any of the Securities, and the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Subscriber’s investment in and to any of the Securities.  The Subscriber understands that an investment in any of the Securities is a speculative investment and that there is no guarantee of success of the plans of the Company’s management.  Such plans are an effort to apply present knowledge and experience to project a future course of action which is hoped will result in financial success employing the Company’s assets and with the present level of management’s skills and of those whom the Company will need to attract (which cannot be assured).  Additionally, all plans are capable of being frustrated by new or unrecognized or unappreciated present or future circumstances which can typically not be predicted, accurately or at all.

(iii)

	
as to the future price or value of any of the Securities; or

In this regard the Subscriber agrees that if the Subscriber decides to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Securities, the Subscriber will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of such Securities, directly or indirectly, in the U.S. or to U.S. residents unless:

(ii)

	
no securities commission or similar regulatory authority has reviewed or passed on the merits of the Securities;







 



	
  

	
(iii)

	
the Subscriber may not receive information that would otherwise be required to be provided to the Subscriber under such securities legislation; and

in addition to releases contained in this Agreement, the Company is relieved from certain obligations that would otherwise apply under applicable securities legislation.

(b) that the execution and delivery by or on behalf of the Company of this Agreement and the issue by the Company of the Shares do not and will not violate any U.S. SEC and stock exchange rules and any other applicable law or regulation and are not and will not be contrary to the provisions of the [Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company] and will not violate any terms of, or constitute a default under, any instrument or agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it or its property is bound;

Subject to the representations and warranties expressed herein, the Subscriber understands that the Securities are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available in any event for at least six months from the date of purchase and payment of the Securities by the Subscriber, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with, and that any sale of the Securities may be made by the Subscriber only in limited amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions and even then may not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the common stock of the Company that issued such Securities, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company that issued such Securities is then available to the public and (iii) other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with.


 


(c)  The Subscriber further acknowledges and understands that, without in any way limiting the acknowledgements and understandings as set forth hereinabove, the Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber shall in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities which the Subscriber is acquiring hereunder unless and until:


 



	
  

	
(i)

	
there is then in effect a “Registration Statement” under the 1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said Registration Statement; or







 



	
  

	
(ii)

	
(A) the Subscriber shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (B) the Subscriber shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of the Subscriber’s own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of any such Securities under the 1933 Act and (C) such opinion of the Subscriber’s counsel shall have been reasonably concurred in by counsel for the Company and the Company shall have advised the Subscriber of such concurrence.







 


3.2 Legending of the Securities.  The Subscriber agrees and understands that the certificates representing the Securities will be stamped with the following legend (or substantially equivalent language) restricting transfer in the following manner:


 


“The transfer of the securities represented by this certificate is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), pursuant to registration under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration.  In addition, hedging transactions involving such securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the 1933 Act.”


 


3.3 Company permission for transfer.  The Subscriber agrees that unless and until there is a public market for the Company’s Securities and a Registration Statement is in effect for the Subscriber’s Securities received from the Company, the Subscriber may not sell such Securities without prior notice to the Company and until the Company’s counsel is satisfied that the Subscriber may lawfully sell the Securities.  The Subscriber acknowledges that this is an effort by the Company to protect itself but that the Company nor its counsel is in control of the facts of the sale and may themselves make error in law and neither the Company nor its counsel hold out that any permission constitutes advice to the Subscriber that he may in fact sell and all risks of the sale, legal and otherwise, reside solely with the Subscriber.
