Investment Risk. Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment, and including, but not limited to the following: (a) the Company remains an early stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units; (c) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Securities.

i. Residency. The state in which any offer to purchase shares hereunder was made to or accepted by Purchaser is the state shown as the Purchaser’s address contained herein.

j. Risk Factors. The Company is in the early stage of its development and is therefore subject to risks and uncertainties.
