investing in the Company and the Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of
the Shares is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment;
(f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends; and (g) the Company
may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Common Stock. The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the risk factors described in the Company's filings made under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

attorneys, in making this investment decision other than as set forth in the Memorandum.


1.4       The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation
D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to
the questions contained in Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A, and that the Subscriber is able
to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares.


1.5       The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters,
prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national
securities exchange nor on the NASDAQ, or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser representative”
(as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by
the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such
an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment;
and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes.


1.6       The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of the Memorandum, this Agreement, and any documents which may have

and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information
regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested
or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers
or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.

(b)       The
Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale of the Shares by the Company (or an authorized agent
or representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship and (ii) no Shares were offered
or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber
did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar
meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.


1.9       The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the SEC nor any state regulatory authority since the

D. The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or
“blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares unless they are
registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption
from such registration is available.


1.10       The

holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy
the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is
under no obligation to register any of the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws.
The Subscriber understands that the Company must be current under the 1934 Act for the Subscriber to take advantage of Rule 144.


1.12       The
Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Shares that such securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or
referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the
Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Shares.
The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:



    	 	3

to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions for fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber
at any time and that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to such Shares.


1.14       The
Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s
principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.


1.15       The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver
this Agreement and to purchase the Shares. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber,
enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.


1.16       If
the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account,
Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement
on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.


1.17       The
Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it are not Registered Representative of a FINRA member firm or a FINRA firm.


1.18       The
Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Shares are registered, sales of the Shares will be subject to state
securities laws.


1.19       The
Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in
the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s prior written consent,

1.       The

	 	 	 	Explanation.  In calculating net worth you may include equity in personal property and real estate (excluding your principal residence), cash, short-term investments, stock and securities.

	Category I	     	 	The undersigned is not within any of the categories above and is therefore not an accredited investor.
