(a)   Subscriber has carefully reviewed the Company's periodic, current and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Company Filings"), including but not limited to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010 (the "Form 10-K") and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2010, as well as the financial statements contained in such Company Filings, and has relied solely upon the Company Filings and investigations made by or on behalf of Subscriber in making the decision to purchase the Shares.  No person or entity has made any representations or warranties, or furnished any sales or offering literature, to Subscriber other than the Company Filings.


 




  





  











  






 


(b)   Subscriber has been granted the opportunity to ask questions of, and has received answers satisfactory to Subscriber from, representatives of the Company concerning the Shares, the Company and its operations.  Subscriber has been given the opportunity to obtain, and has obtained, all additional information which Subscriber deems necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Company Filings and to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.


 


(c)   No undertakings, understandings, inducements, covenants, representations or warranties have been made to Subscriber by the Company, its affiliates or any agent or employee of the Company with respect to Subscriber’s investment in the Company or otherwise in connection with the Company or this offering.


 


(d)   Subscriber is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only, for Subscriber’s own account and not with a view to resale, assignment or distribution thereof, either in whole or in part.


 


(e)   Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency or regulatory body, including without limitation, any federal or state securities commission, has approved or disapproved the Shares or passed upon or endorsed the merits of this offering or this Subscription Agreement.


 


(f)   Subscriber understands that (i) the Company has not registered the Shares under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, (ii) the Shares are being offered in this offering pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (iii) the Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber in the absence of an effective registration statement for the Shares under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available, and (iv) the Company is under no obligation and has no intention to apply for the registration of the Shares or comply with any exemption from registration so as to permit any resale, and it has not represented that at some future date an attempt will be made to register the Shares or to comply with an exemption from registration so as to permit resale.


 


(g)   Subscriber will not attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Shares in the absence of either an effective registration statement or an opinion of a reputable securities counsel which is satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel that such proposed sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition would not be in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law.


 


(h)   Subscriber has consulted with Subscriber’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by Subscriber in the Shares and the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.

(j)   Subscriber understands that Subscriber may be precluded from selling or otherwise transferring or disposing of the Shares for an indefinite period of time or at any particular time, and may therefore have to bear the economic risk of investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.


 


(k)   Subscriber recognizes that investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk and understands that any and all of the risk factors relating to the ownership of the Shares, including those risk factors set forth in the Form 10-K, could individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of the Shares.


 


(l)   With respect to each Subscriber that is an individual, such Subscriber represents that he or she has adequate means for providing for his or her current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the Shares, and can afford a complete loss of the investment in the Shares.  Subscriber’s commitment to illiquid investments is reasonable in relation to Subscriber’s net worth.


 


(m)   Subscriber is an "Accredited Investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, as evidenced in the questionnaire attached as Schedule A to this Subscription Agreement (the "Investor Questionnaire").


 


(n)   The information provided to the Company in the Investor Questionnaire, and any other information provided to the Company by Subscriber, is true, complete and correct in all material respects.


 


(o)   Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings set forth herein and in the Investor Questionnaire in order to determine the applicability of  such exemptions and the suitability of the undersigned to acquire the Shares.


 


(p)   Subscriber will supply the Company with such other facts as from time to time are deemed necessary or desirable in order to ascertain that no violation has occurred of any securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction, including the Securities Act.

If other than an individual or individuals, Subscriber has taken all actions necessary to authorize fully the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby.

Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from and against all liability, damage, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which:  (a) arise out of or are due to a breach of the representations and warranties made by Subscriber or an inaccuracy, incompleteness or other defect in the information provided herein or in the Investor Questionnaire; or (b) arise after such Subscriber has become a stockholder of the Company, as a result of the sale or distribution of all or any portion of the Shares subscribed for hereby, or any interest therein, or Subscriber’s violation of any federal and state securities laws or any other applicable laws.  All such representations and warranties shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


7.   Acceptance by the Company; Binding Agreement.  Subscriber understands that this subscription may be accepted or rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company, in its sole discretion, and that no subscription for the Shares will be binding until accepted by the Company.  In the event this subscription is rejected in whole, the instruments and documents delivered herewith and the consideration tendered for the Shares, will be returned to Subscriber, and all of the obligations of Subscriber hereunder shall terminate.  In the event the subscription is rejected in part, the consideration tendered in respect to the portion not accepted will be returned to Subscriber.  Upon acceptance by the Company, this Subscription Agreement, and all of the obligations of Subscriber hereunder and all of the representations and warranties by Subscriber herein, shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Subscriber; provided, however, that this Subscription Agreement is transferable or assignable by Subscriber only with the Company’s prior express written consent, which may be withheld for any reason.
