Check if applicable, otherwise cross out:







(k)           Accredited Investor.  The undersigned is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act by reason of Rule 501(a)(3).







(l)           Potential Loss of Investment; Risk Factors.  The undersigned understands that an investment in the Shares is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of his entire investment. The undersigned understands that the following factors, among others, could cause the loss of any or all of his investment.







(1)           The Company is a development stage company with no operating history for the undersigned to evaluate its business.  The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida in April 12, 2010, and as a result is only in the very early stages of development.  Because the Company has no operating history, it is difficult to evaluate its business and future prospects.  The undersigned has also considered the uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies, such as the Company, in their early stages of development.  The Company’s revenue and income potential is non-existent and its business model is still emerging.  If its business model does not prove to be profitable, the undersigned may lose all of his investment.







(2)           The Company currently does not have enough working capital to satisfy its capital needs.  The Company is dependent upon its management team to fund its ongoing operations, and cannot be certain that future financing will be available to it on acceptable terms when it needs it.  The Company can give no assurances that it will be able to sell any portion of this offering or that management will continue to fund its ongoing operations.  This, along with the possibility of other factors and circumstances the Company cannot predict, may require it to seek additional financing faster than anticipated.  If the Company is unable to obtain financing to meet its needs, the undersigned may lose of his investment.







(3)           The Company’s officers and directors will only devote a limited amount of time to the Company.  Their divided interests may hinder the Company's ability to generate revenue.  This could result in missed business opportunities and worse-than-expected operating results.  The undersigned may lose his entire investment.







(m)           Investment Commitment.  The undersigned's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and an investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.







(n)           Receipt of Information.  The undersigned has received all documents, records, books and other information pertaining to the undersigned’s investment in the Company that has been requested by the undersigned.











  





6











  








(o)           Investor Questionnaire.  The undersigned represents and warrants to the Company that all information that the undersigned has provided to the Company, including, without limitation, the information in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto or previously provided to the Company (the “Investor Questionnaire”), is correct and complete as of the date hereof.







(p)           No Reliance.  Other than as set forth herein, the undersigned is not relying upon any other information, representation or warranty by the Company or any officer, director, stockholder, agent or representative of the Company in determining to invest in the Shares.  The undersigned has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by the undersigned, with the undersigned’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the Shares and on that basis believes that his or its investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for the undersigned.







(q)           No Governmental Review.  The undersigned is aware that no federal or state agency has (i) made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment, (ii) made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the Company, or (iii) guaranteed or insured any investment in the Shares or any investment made by the Company.







(r)           Price of Shares.  The undersigned understands that the price of the Shares offered hereby bear no relation to the assets, book value or net worth of the Company and were determined arbitrarily by the Company.  The undersigned further understands that there is a substantial risk of further dilution on his or its investment in the Company.







SECTION 4.

The Shares shall not subject the undersigned to personal liability by reason of the ownership thereof.







(e)           No General Solicitation or Advertising in Regard to this Transaction. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf (a) has conducted or will conduct any general solicitation (as that term is used in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D) or general advertising with respect to any of the Shares, or (b) made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under any circumstances that would require registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Act.







SECTION 5.







5.1             Indemnity.  The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, employees and its affiliates and their respective successors and assigns and each other person, if any, who controls any thereof, against any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by the undersigned to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the undersigned herein or in any other document furnished by the undersigned to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.







5.2           Modification.  Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof shall be modified, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought.







5.3           Notices.  Any notice, demand or other communication which any  party hereto may be required, or may elect, to give to anyone interested hereunder shall be sufficiently given if (a) deposited, postage prepaid, in a United States mail letter box, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such address as may be given herein, or (b) delivered personally at such address.







5.4           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed through the use of separate signature pages or in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, and each of such counterparts shall, for all purposes, constitute one agreement binding on all parties, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.
