(e) Compliance with Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, 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 Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration.

The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless ALTN from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders’ fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Subscriber is responsible.

(k) Address. The Subscriber represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished on the signature page hereof is (i) the Subscriber’s principal business address if the Subscriber is not a natural person or (ii) the Subscriber’s principal residence if the Subscriber is a natural person.

(l) Foreign Subscribers. If the Subscriber is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Shares. The Subscriber’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction.

(m) Indemnification. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ALTN, Inc. and its agents, representatives and employees from and against all liability, damage, loss, cost, fee and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which they may incur by reason of failure of the Subscriber to fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Subscription Agreement, or by reason of any inaccuracy or omission in the information furnished by the Subscriber herein or any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Subscriber herein or in connection with this Subscription Agreement, or in any document provided by the Subscriber to the Company.

(n) General Solicitation. The Subscriber is not purchasing the Common Stock as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Common Stock published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
