3.1 Exempt Transaction. Clarke understands that (i) the Settlement Shares have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities or “blue sky” laws, on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of the securities hereunder is exempt from registration and qualification under Sections 4(2) and 18 of the Securities Act, and (ii) Clarke’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated on the Company’s representations set forth herein.

3.2 Investment Risk. Clarke acknowledges that an investment in Clarke involves an extremely high degree of risk, lack of liquidity and substantial restrictions on transferability and that Clarke may lose its entire investment in the Settlement Shares.

3.3 Information. The Company has made available to Clarke or its advisors the opportunity to obtain information to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment in Clarke, and Clarke has received all information requested from Clarke. Clarke has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Clarke regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Settlement Shares and the business, properties, plans, prospects, and financial condition of Clarke and to obtain additional information as Clarke has deemed appropriate for purposes of investing in the Settlement Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

3.4 Investment Experience. Clarke, personally or through advisors, has expertise in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development to Clarke and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to assess the relative merits and risks of an investment in Clarke. In connection with the purchase of the Settlement Shares, Clarke has relied solely upon independent investigations made by Clarke and has consulted his own investment advisors, counsel and accountants. Clarke has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity, and can sustain a complete loss of the investment in the Settlement Shares.

3.5 Investment Intent. The Settlement Shares which the Company is to issue hereunder will be acquired for Clarke’s own account, for investment purposes, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Settlement Shares in violation of applicable securities laws.

3.6 No Agency Review. Clarke understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the Settlement Shares or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the investment in the Settlement Shares.

3.7 Accreditation. Clarke has served as an officer and the Cole Director of the Company, and as such is deemed for the purposes of this Agreement as an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and the Settlement Shares are being issued upon Clarkes knowledge of the Company and pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

3.8 No Solicitation or Advertising. Clarke has not received any general solicitation or general advertising concerning the Settlement Shares, nor is Clarke aware of any such solicitation or advertising.

3.9 Restricted Securities. Clarke understands that the Settlement Shares will be characterized as “restricted” securities under federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. Clarke agrees that he will not sell all or any portion of the Settlement Shares except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Clarke understands and acknowledges that all certificates representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the following legend or a legend of similar import and that Clarke shall refuse to transfer the Settlement Shares except in accordance with such restrictions:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER CERTAIN STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF (1) AN

EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (2) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED SALE OR TRANSFER.”
