THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE BEING OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS FOR NON-PUBLIC OFFERINGS.

IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION INVESTORS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN EXAMINATION OF THE COMPANY AND THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED. THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED BY ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY. FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The undersigned acknowledges that the Securities (other than any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) will not be registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities laws of any State, that absent an exemption from registration contained in those laws, the issuance and sale of such Securities would require registration, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemption is based upon the undersigned’s representations, warranties, and agreements contained in the Offering Materials (as defined below).
1. The undersigned represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:
(a) The undersigned agrees that this Subscription Agreement is and shall be irrevocable.
(b) The undersigned has carefully read the private placement memorandum (the “Memorandum”), this Subscription Agreement, the Warrant and the Confidential Prospective Purchaser Questionnaire (collectively the “Offering Materials”), all of which the undersigned acknowledges have been provided to the undersigned. The undersigned has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering and the Offering Materials and to obtain such additional written information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the same as the undersigned desires in order to evaluate the investment. The undersigned further acknowledges that the undersigned fully understands the Offering Materials, and the undersigned has had the opportunity to discuss any questions regarding any of the Offering Materials with the undersigned’s counsel or other advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the only information upon which the undersigned has relied is that set forth in the Offering Materials and the undersigned’s own independent investigation. The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has received no representations or warranties from the Company or its employees, director, or agents in making this investment decision other than as set forth in the Offering Materials.
-3-
(c) The undersigned is aware that the purchase of the Securities is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk and that there is no guarantee that the undersigned will realize any gain from this investment, and that the undersigned could lose the total amount of the undersigned’s investment.
(d) The undersigned understands that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination regarding the fairness of this Offering of the Securities for investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of this Offering of the Securities.
(e) At the time the undersigned was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act. The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Securities. The undersigned is not registered as a broker or dealer under Section 15(a) of the 1934 Act, affiliated with any broker or dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
(f) Each of this Agreement and the Offering Materials have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with their terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The undersigned has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Offering Materials and each other agreement entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(g) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Offering Materials by the undersigned and the consummation by the undersigned of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other documents of organization of the undersigned , (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the undersigned is bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation or decree applicable to the undersigned.
(h) The undersigned understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless and until such Securities are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration is available. The undersigned has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.
(i) The undersigned understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of Federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the undersigned set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the undersigned to acquire the Securities.
-4-
(j) The undersigned is purchasing the Securities for the undersigned’s own account, with the intention of holding the Securities, with no present intention of dividing or allowing others to participate in this investment or of reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Securities, and shall not make any sale, transfer, or pledge thereof without registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable securities laws of any state or unless an exemption from registration is available under those laws.
(k) The undersigned represents that the undersigned, if an individual, has adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment in the Securities. The undersigned has no reason to anticipate any material change in his or her personal financial condition for the foreseeable future.
(l) The undersigned is financially able to bear the economic risk of this investment, including the ability to hold the Securities indefinitely or to afford a complete loss of the undersigned’s investment in the Securities.
(m) The undersigned represents that the undersigned’s overall commitment to this investment is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth, and the undersigned’s investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The undersigned understands that the statutory basis on which the Securities are being sold to the undersigned and others would not be available if the undersigned’s present intention were to hold the Securities for a fixed period or until the occurrence of a certain event. The undersigned realizes that in the view of the Commission, a purchase now with a present intent to resell by reason of a foreseeable specific contingency or any anticipated change in the market value, or in the condition of the Company, or that of the industry in which the business of the Company is engaged or in connection with a contemplated liquidation, or settlement of any loan obtained by the undersigned for the acquisition of the Securities, and for which such Securities may be pledged as security or as donations to religious or charitable institutions for the purpose of securing a deduction on an income tax return, would, in fact, represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the undersigned’s representations to the Company and the Commission would then regard such sale as a sale for which the exemption from registration is not available. The undersigned will not pledge, transfer, or assign this Subscription Agreement.
(m) The undersigned represents that the funds provided for this investment are either separate property of the undersigned, community property over which the undersigned has the right of control, or are otherwise funds as to which the undersigned has the sole right of management.
(n) The undersigned is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering of the Securities through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or over the Internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities and is not subscribing for the Securities and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the undersigned was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the undersigned in connection with investments in securities generally.
-5-
(o) The undersigned has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(p) The undersigned, if a natural person, represents that the undersigned has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof.

(r) No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the undersigned or its advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Securities which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum.
(s) The undersigned understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company that this subscription may be rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, at any time before any Closing notwithstanding prior receipt by the undersigned of notice of acceptance of the undersigned’s subscription.
(t) FOR PARTNERSHIPS, CORPORATIONS, TRUSTS, OR OTHER ENTITIES ONLY: If the undersigned is a partnership, corporation, trust, or other entity, (i) the undersigned has enclosed with this Subscription Agreement appropriate evidence of the authority of the individual executing this Subscription Agreement to act on its behalf (e.g., if a trust, a certified copy of the trust agreement; if a corporation, a certified corporate resolution authorizing the signature and a certified copy of the certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation, as applicable; or if a partnership, a certified copy of the partnership agreement), (ii) the undersigned represents and warrants that it was not organized or reorganized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, (iii) the undersigned has the full power and authority to execute this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity and to make the representations and warranties made herein on its behalf, and (iv) this investment in the Company has been affirmatively authorized, if required, by the governing board of such entity and is not prohibited by the governing documents of the entity.
(u) The address shown under the undersigned’s signature at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the undersigned’s principal residence if he or she is an individual, or its principal business address if a corporation or other entity.

Except as otherwise specifically provided for hereunder, no delay or omission by any party in exercising any right with respect to the subject matter hereof shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any such other right. A waiver on any one occasion with respect to the subject matter hereof shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument, or paper, will be cumulative, and may be exercised separately or concurrently.
7. The parties have not made any representations or warranties with respect to the subject matter hereof not set forth herein, and this Subscription Agreement, together with any instruments executed simultaneously herewith, constitutes the entire agreement between them with respect to the subject matter hereof.
