(d)        Investment Experience. The Subscriber is (i) experienced in making investments of the kind described in this Agreement, (ii) able, by reason of the business and financial experience of its officers (if an entity) and professional advisors (who are not affiliated with or compensated in any way by the Company or any of its affiliates or selling agents), to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement, and (iii) able to afford the entire loss of its investment in the Shares.

(e)        Exemption from Registration. The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the offering and sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In furtherance thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of the Subscriber made herein, the Subscriber further represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company and its affiliates as follows:

(1)        The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if notwithstanding such representations, the Subscriber has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention;

(2)        The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Company; and

(3)        The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares. The Subscriber also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares; and

(4)        The Subscriber acknowledges that it has had access to and has reviewed all documents and records relating to the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2010, including the risk factors described therein (as such documents have been amended since the date of their filing, collectively, the “Company SEC Documents”), that it has deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the Shares; that it has had the opportunity to ask representatives of the Company certain questions and request certain additional information regarding the terms and conditions of such investment and the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company and has had any and all such questions and requests answered to its satisfaction; and that it understands the risks and other considerations relating to such investment.

(f)        No Other Company Representations. No representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company, or any officer, employee, agent, affiliate or subsidiary of the Company, other than the representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for Shares the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

(g)        Compliance with Laws. Any resale of the Shares shall only be made in compliance with exemptions from registration afforded by, or pursuant to an effective registration statement under, the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state law.

(h)        Legends. Each certificate representing the Shares shall be endorsed with the following legends, in addition to any other legend required to be placed thereon by applicable federal or state securities laws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE REGISTERED OWNER FOR INVESTMENT, AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION DOES NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER OR OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.

(i)        Accredited Investor. The Subscriber is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act by reason of Rule 501(a)(3).

(j)        Potential Loss of Investment. The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Shares is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of its entire investment. The Company is an early stage company with only a brief operating history for the Subscriber to evaluate its business. The Company, previously known as American Antiquities, Inc., completed the acquisition of Panther Air Cargo, LLC, a Florida limited partnership doing business as Pet Airways, through a share exchange agreement. The Company’s common stock previously traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "AAQS" and now trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "PAWS."

(k)        Investment Commitment. The Subscriber's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber's net worth, and an investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(l)        Receipt of Information. The Subscriber has received all documents, records, books and other information pertaining to the Subscriber's investment in the Company that has been requested by the Subscriber.

(m)        Investor Questionnaire. The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that all information that the Subscriber has provided to the Company, including, without limitation, the information in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A or previously provided to the Company (the "Investor Questionnaire"), is correct and complete as of the date hereof.

(n)        No Reliance. Other than as set forth herein, the Subscriber is not relying upon any other information, representation or warranty by the Company or any officer, director, stockholder, agent or representative of the Company in determining to invest in the Shares. The Subscriber has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Subscriber, with the Subscriber's own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the Shares and on that basis believes that its investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for the Subscriber.

(o)        No Governmental Review. The Subscriber is aware that no federal or state agency has (i) made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment, (ii) made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the Company, or (iii) guaranteed or insured any investment in the Shares or any investment made by the Company.

(p)        Price of Shares. The Subscriber understands that the price of the Shares offered hereby bear no relation to the assets, book value or net worth of the Company and were determined arbitrarily by the Company.

(q)        Financing Risk. The Company currently does not have enough working capital to satisfy its capital needs. The Company is dependent upon investors to fund its ongoing operations, and cannot be certain that future financing will be available to it on acceptable terms when it needs it. The Company can give no assurances that it will be able to raise adequate funding to reach cash flow break even. If the Company is unable to obtain financing to meet its needs, the Subscriber may lose of its investment.

(r)        Dilution. In order to capitalize the Company, execute its business plan, and for other corporate purposes, the Company has issued, and expects to issue additional shares of Common Stock, securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, or debt. Such securities have been and may be issued for a purchase price consisting of cash, services or other consideration that may be materially different than the purchase price of the Shares. The issuance of any such securities may result in substantial dilution to the relative ownership interests of the Company’s existing shareholders and substantial reduction in net book value per share. Additional equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock, and any debt financing may involve restrictive covenants that may limit the Company’s operating flexibility.

(s)        Former Shell Company. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company was, at one time, a "shell company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act, securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Shares) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the date on which such company filed current "Form 10 information" (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased being a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Shares cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements.

3.2        Restrictions on Disposition. The Subscriber further acknowledges and understands that, without in anyway limiting the acknowledgements and understandings as set forth hereinabove, the Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber shall in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares which the Subscriber is acquiring hereunder unless and until:

(1)        there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

(2)        (i) the Subscriber shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (ii) the Subscriber shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of the Subscriber's own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of any such Shares under the Securities Act and (iii) such opinion of the Subscriber's counsel shall have been concurred in by counsel for the Company and the Company shall have advised the Subscriber of such concurrence.

(d)        No General Solicitation or Advertising in Regard to this Transaction.
