thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of
the undersigned made herein, the undersigned further represents and
warrants to and agrees with the Company and its affiliates as
follows:
(1) The

market does not rise. The undersigned does not have any such
intention;

(k)
Regulation S Exemption . The undersigned understands that
the Shares are being offered and sold to him in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements of United States
federal and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated
under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the
truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein
in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the
suitability of the Investor to acquire the Shares. In this regard,
the undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that:

laws:
(A) “THE
SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED TO INVESTORS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS
(AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (“THE SECURITIES ACT”)) AND WITHOUT
REGISTRATION WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S
PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”
(B) “TRANSFER

PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.”
(10) The
undersigned consents to the Company making a notation on its
records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Company
in order to implement the restrictions on transfer of the Shares
set forth in this Section 2.
(l)
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).
(m)
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 Nevada in January 2006, 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 unproven
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.
(4) Management
has never operated in the industry in which it intends to operate.
This lack of experience may result in the Company’s needing
to employ outside experts that have such experience. The additional
cost could result in a net operating loss and, ultimately, could
result in the Company’s failure. Management’s
inexperience may limit the Company’s ability to generate
revenues. The Company may never achieve successful operations, and
the undersigned may lose his entire investment.
(n)
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.
(o)
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.
(p)
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.
(q)
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.
(r)
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.
(s)
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
