(b)
Information on Subscriber. The Subscriber is and was not a
"U.S. person," as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), at the time the offer or
sale of the Securities is made. Additionally, the Subscriber is an
"accredited investor," as such term is defined in Regulation D of
the 1933 Act or is part of a group that is experienced in
investments and business matters, has made investments of a
speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States
publicly-owned companies in private placements in the past and,
with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the
Subscriber to utilize the information made available by the
Company, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect to
the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment.
The Subscriber is a natural person or an entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or
partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Subscriber of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
or, if the Subscriber is not a corporation, such partnership,
limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the
part of the Subscriber. This Agreement has been duly executed by
the Subscriber and when delivered by the Subscriber in accordance
with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the
enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application. The Subscriber is able
to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to

thereof, without prejudice, however, to the Subscriber's right at
all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such
Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws. The Subscriber does not have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the
Shares. The Subscriber also represents that its purchase of the
Shares is intended to be made as an "Offshore Transaction"
as defined in Regulation S.
(d)
Compliance with Securities Act. The Subscriber understands
and agrees that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933
Act, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not
require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber
contained herein), and that such Shares must be held unless a
subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or is
exempt from such registration.
