2.2

Except as provided under applicable securities laws, this subscription is and shall be irrevocable except that (i) the undersigned’s execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not constitute an agreement between the Company and the undersigned until this Subscription Agreement is accepted on behalf of the Company and, if not so accepted, the undersigned’s subscription and obligations hereunder will terminate and (ii) the undersigned can, at any time prior to acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, request in writing that the undersigned be released from the obligations hereunder (and the Company may, but need not, in its discretion, elect to release the undersigned from the subscription and from such obligations).

Subscriber’s Representations and Warranties.


The undersigned hereby represents and warrants as follows:


3.1

The undersigned is not a U.S. person as defined under Rule 902 of Regulation S and the Units (including the securities contained within the Units) which the undersigned is acquiring are being acquired for the undersigned’s own account (or a trust account if the undersigned is a trustee) for investment only and not with a view to sale or resale, distribution or fractionalization of the securities under applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws.  The undersigned is not acquiring such securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring such securities.  The undersigned will not (i) resell or offer to resell the securities, or any portion thereof, or (ii) engage in hedging transactions, in each case, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and otherwise in compliance with all applicable securities laws.  Furthermore, prior to engaging in any hedging transaction or any resale of the securities, or any portion thereof, by the undersigned, the undersigned shall provide the Company with an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion and in a form acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, that any such proposed sale or hedging transaction is in compliance with the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

3.2

The Company may only make offers to sell the Units (including the securities contained within the Units) to persons outside the United States in this Offering and, if applicable, at the time any buy order is originated, the buyer is outside the United States.  The undersigned has not received an offer to purchase the Units (including the securities contained within the Units) inside the United States and will not originate a buy order inside the United States.  The undersigned has not received, and is not aware of, any advertisement in a publication with a general circulation in the United States (as described in Rule 902 of Regulation S) that refers to the offering and sale of the Units (including the securities contained within the Units).

3.3

The undersigned’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth and the undersigned’s investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The undersigned has adequate net worth and means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies to sustain a complete loss of the undersigned’s investment in the Company, and the undersigned has no need for liquidity in this investment.

3.4

The undersigned has substantial knowledge and experience in making investment decisions of this type and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment.

3.5

The undersigned has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company with respect to this offering. The Company has provided the undersigned with all documents requested and has provided answers to all of the undersigned’s questions relating to an investment in the Company.  In addition, the undersigned has had an opportunity to discuss this investment with representatives of the Company and to ask questions of them.

3.6

The undersigned is acquiring the Units and has been furnished with the Company’s Offering Term Sheet. The undersigned has not been furnished with any other prospectus or offering literature.

3.7

The undersigned understands that an investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, and the undersigned has carefully reviewed and is aware of all of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Units.

3.8

If this Subscription Agreement is executed and delivered on behalf of a partnership, trust, corporation or other entity: the undersigned has been duly authorized to execute and deliver this Subscription

The undersigned agrees that such representations and warranties shall survive the acceptance of the undersigned as a purchaser, and the undersigned indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless, the Company and each other purchaser from and against all damages, claims, expenses, losses or actions resulting from the untruth of any of the warranties and representations contained in this Subscription Agreement.

3.10

The foregoing representations and warranties are true as of the date of this Subscription Agreement and shall be true as of the date the Company issues and sells Units to the undersigned. If such representations and warranties shall not be true in any respect prior to such date, the undersigned will give prompt written notice of such fact to the Company.
