All U.S. dollar accounts in Canada are not insured.












                         In this regard, and should the Subscriber's subscription and/or Subscription Price payment be submitted to the Company's Counsel, in trust or otherwise (as above in respect to the wire transfer), then the Subscriber agrees that the Company's Counsel shall have no accountability to the Subscriber whatsoever and acknowledges that the Company's Counsel is merely a recipient for the Company and has no obligation of any nature to the Subscriber.  Under no circumstances shall the Company's Counsel be considered to be giving legal or other advice or services to the Subscriber and no communication between the Subscriber and the Company's Counsel shall be considered advice (at the most only administrative subscription assistance on behalf of the Company) but the Subscriber shall rely solely and exclusively on the Subscriber's own judgment and the advice of the Subscriber's own counsel.



2.2                    Acceptance of subscription or return of Subscription Price by the Company.   The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will be accepting subscriptions for Shares on a first come, first serve, basis.  As a consequence the Company, upon acceptance by its Board of all or part of this subscription Agreement (the "Acceptance"), hereby agrees to issue the accepted number of Shares, as fully paid and non-assessable, and as consideration for the Subscriber's subscription, and to refund any excess subscription monies of the Subscription Price of any non-accepted portion of this subscription Agreement by the Board.  In this regard the Subscriber acknowledges that, although Shares may be issued to other subscribers concurrently with the Company's Acceptance of all or part of this subscription Agreement, there may be other sales of Shares by the Company, some or all of which may close before or after the Acceptance herein.  The Subscriber further acknowledges that there is a risk that insufficient funds may be raised by the Company upon the Company's Acceptance of all or part of this subscription Agreement to fund the Company's objectives and that further closings may not take place after Acceptance herein.



2.3                    Use of funds before and after Acceptance.   The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscription Price monies shall be advanced immediately to the Company's general funds to reserve the Subscriber's subscription, shall not be held in trust, the Company may employ such funds for its business purposes immediately and prior to Acceptance and such funds shall not be considered a loan and shall not bear interest but shall constitute solely a reservation of subscription and advance of funds therefore.  The Subscriber shall not demand return of its Subscription Price monies unless the Shares have not been issued for a period in excess of 90 calendar days from the date of this subscription and such demand may be fulfilled by Acceptance and delivery of subscribed Shares or return of funds at the Company's sole and absolute discretion.  The Subscriber acknowledges that the funds to be raised from all Shares are to be employed for the business of the Company in accordance with management's determination as to the best use of the same for the Company's business plans.  Notwithstanding any disclosure document or offering memorandum or prospectus provided concurrent with this subscription, the Company reserves the right at any time to alter its business plans in accordance with management's appreciation of the market for the goods and services of the Company and the best use of the Company's funds to advance its business, whether present or future.



2.4.                    Securities issued at different prices and characteristics.   The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will issue its securities at different prices which may occur sequentially, from time-to-time, or at the same time and prices in the future may be lower than now.  The Company will also issue offerings which have warrants, or other benefits, attached and some offerings which do not.  Not all subscribers will receive common shares, or other share classes, of the Company at the same price and such may be issued at vastly different prices to that of the Subscriber.  For example, however, without limitation, the Company will or may issue securities at nominal prices as 'founders shares' (which may or will constitute millions of securities, as determined solely by the Board) or for developmental assets (which cannot be valued and so may be assigned a nominal value on the Company's books) or for services or to attract expertise or management talent or other circumstances considered advisable by the Board.  Such issuance at different prices are made by the Board in its judgment as to typical structuring for a company such as the Company, to incentivise, reward and to provide a measure of developmental control, to acquire assets or services which the Board considers necessary or advisable for the Company's development and success and other such considerations in the Board's judgment.  The Company may or will acquire debt and/or equity financings in the future required or advisable, as determined by the Board, in the course of the Company's business development.  The Subscriber acknowledges these matters, understands that the Subscriber's investment is not necessarily the most advantageous investment in the Company and authorizes the Board now and hereafter to use its judgment to make such issuances whether such issuances are at a lesser, equal or greater price than that of the Subscriber and whether such is prior to, concurrent with or subsequent to the Subscriber's investment herein.






2.5                    Delivery of Share certificates.   The Company, within 90 calendar days of the Acceptance by its Board of all or part of this subscription Agreement, agrees to deliver to the Subscriber a Share certificates for the accepted number of Shares purchased by the Subscriber under this subscription Agreement and registered in the name of the Subscriber.

Appendix "II"



 

TO THE FOUNDER'S SEED CAPITAL SHARE PRIVATE PLACEMENT SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OF RUBY CREEK RESOURCES INC.



 

SUBSCRIBER'S SUITABILITY QUESTIONNAIRE

{To be completed and executed by at least all U.S. resident Subscribers}



                         In addition to the covenants, representations and warranties contained in the "Founder's Seed Capital Share Private Placement Subscription Agreement" of the Company, to which this Appendix "II" - "Subscriber's Suitability Questionnaire" is attached, the undersigned Subscriber covenants, represents and warrants to the Company as follows.



                         Name of Subscriber:              .



                         Instructions:   This "Subscriber's Suitability Questionnaire" (the "Questionnaire") is being provided to each potential subscriber (each a "Subscriber") who has indicated an interest in purchasing "Shares" in the capital stock of Ruby Creek Resources Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the "Company").  The purpose of this Questionnaire is, in part, to allow the Company to have complete information about the Subscriber and, in addition, to assure the Company that it may rely on, if applicable, the exemption from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Act"), afforded by Section 4(2) of the U.S. Act and "Rule 501" and "Rule 506" of "Regulation D" promulgated thereunder (the "Regulation").  The Regulation requires that, in order for an issuer, such as the Company, of securities, such as the Shares, to rely on the exemption afforded thereby, the Company may only sell the Shares to "Accredited Investors".  Eligibility is determined, among other things, by the ability of the Subscriber either alone or with his representative to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, based on his knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, or by certain financial criteria.



                         If the answer to any question is "None" or "Not Applicable" please so state.  If you are acting as agent for a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any reference to the term "you" shall mean such corporation, partnership, trust or other entity.



                         Your answers will at all times be kept strictly confidential.  However, by signing this Questionnaire the Subscriber agrees that the Company may present this Questionnaire to such parties as may be appropriate if called upon to verify the information provided or to establish the availability of an exemption from registration of the private placement under the federal or state securities laws or if the contents are relevant to issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound.  A false statement by the Subscriber may constitute a violation of law, for which a claim for damages may be made against the Subscriber and, if applicable, its representative.  Otherwise, your answers to this Questionnaire will be kept strictly confidential.



                         This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer of Shares by the Company, but is merely a request for information.



                         Please complete the following Questionnaire fully, attaching additional sheets if necessary.

Appendix "III"



 

TO THE FOUNDER'S SEED CAPITAL SHARE PRIVATE PLACEMENT SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OF RUBY CREEK RESOURCES INC.



 

SUBSCRIBER'S REPRESENTATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE

{To be completed and executed by all applicable U.S. resident Subscribers}



                         In addition to the covenants, representations and warranties contained in the "Founder's Seed Capital Share Private Placement Subscription Agreement" of the Company, to which this Appendix "III" - "Subscriber's Representative Questionnaire" is attached, the undersigned Subscriber and its Representative covenants, represents and warrants to the Company as follows.



                         Name of Subscriber:   ____________________________________.



                         Instructions:   This "Subscriber's Representative Questionnaire" (the "Questionnaire") is being sent to each potential subscriber who has indicated an interest in purchasing "Shares" in the capital stock of Ruby Creek Resources Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the "Company").  The purpose of this Questionnaire is, in part, to allow the Company to have complete information about the subscriber and, in addition, to assure the Company that it may rely on, if applicable, the exemption from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Act") afforded by "Regulation D" promulgated thereunder (the "Regulation").  The Regulation requires that, in order for an issuer, such as the Company, of securities, such as the Shares, to rely on the exemption afforded thereby, the Company may only sell the Shares to "Accredited Investors".  Eligibility is determined, among other things, by the ability of the Subscriber either alone or with his representative (herein the "Representative") to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, based on his knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, or by certain financial criteria.



                         If the answer to any question is "None" or "Not Applicable" please so state.



                         Your answers will at all times be kept strictly confidential.  However, by signing this Questionnaire, the Representative agrees that the Company may present this Questionnaire to such parties as may be appropriate if called upon to verify the information provided or to establish the availability of an exemption from registration of the private placement under the federal or state securities laws or if the contents are relevant to issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound.  A false statement by the Representative may constitute a violation of law, for which a claim for damages may be made against the Representative and, if applicable, the Subscriber.



                         This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer of Shares by the Company, but is merely a request for information.



                         Please complete the following Questionnaire fully, attaching additional sheets if necessary.
