1.7           The Company may, in its sole discretion, reject any subscription, in whole or in part, or terminate or withdraw the Offering in its entirety at any time prior to a closing in relation thereto.  The Company shall not be required to allocate among investors on a pro rata basis in the event of an over-subscription.
 
 
2. Representations and Covenants of Subscriber.
 
2.1  
The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company will need additional capital but has no assurance of additional necessary capital; (ii) 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; (iii) an investor may not be able to liquidate his or her investment; (iv) transferability of the securities comprising the Units is extremely limited; (v) an investor could sustain the loss of his or her entire investment; and (vi) the Company is and will be subject to numerous other risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, significant and material risks relating to the Company’s business, and the industries and markets in which the Company will compete, as well as risks associated with the Offering, and the other transactions contemplated herein, in the Offering Memorandum dated February 16, 2008 and any supplements thereto (including all exhibits, schedules and attachments thereto, the “Offering Memorandum”), all as more fully set forth herein and in the Offering Memorandum.  
 
2.2  
The Subscriber represents that he or she is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, as indicated by his or her responses to the Investor Questionnaire (the “Investor Questionnaire”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and that he or she is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Units.  The Subscriber must complete the Investor Questionnaire to enable the Company to assess the Subscriber’s eligibility for the Offering.
 
2.3  
The Subscriber acknowledges that he or she has prior investment experience, including without limitation, investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, and he or she has read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to him or her and evaluated the merits and risks of such an investment, and that he or she recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.

2.4  
The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and careful review of the Offering Memorandum, this Agreement, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant representing the Warrants and any other attachments hereto and thereto (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) and hereby represents that he or she has been furnished or given access by the Company during the course of this Offering with or to all information regarding the Company and its respective financial condition and results of operations which he or she had requested or desired to know; that all documents which were specifically requested by the Subscriber and could be reasonably provided have been made available for his or her inspection and review; that he or she has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional information which he or she had requested.  The Subscriber further represents and acknowledges that the Subscriber has not seen or received any advertisement or general solicitation with respect to the sale of any of the securities of the Company, including, without limitation, the Units.
 
2.5  
The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Units may involve tax consequences, and that the contents of the Offering Documents do not contain tax advice or information.  The Subscriber acknowledges that he or she must retain his or her own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Units.
 
2.6  
The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Units has not been reviewed or approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that the Offering is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.  The Subscriber represents that the Units are being purchased for his or her own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others.  The Subscriber agrees that he or she will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the securities comprising the Units unless they are registered under the Act and any applicable state “blue sky” securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available and, upon the Company’s request, the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory, in all respects, to the Company confirming that an exemption from such registration is available for such sale or transfer.
 
2.7  
The Subscriber understands that the Units have not been registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act which depends, in part, upon his or her investment intention.  The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with the intention to distribute would represent a purchase with an intention inconsistent with his or her representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a distribution as a deferred sale to which such exemption is not available.
 
2.8  
The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Act requires, among other conditions, a holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering, such as the Offering, without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Act.  The Subscriber consents that the Company may, in its sole discretion and if it desires, permit the transfer of the Common Stock included in the Units or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in whole or in part, out of his or her name but only when his or her request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in all respects, that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act, any applicable state “blue sky” securities laws or any applicable securities laws of any other country, province or jurisdiction (collectively, “Securities Laws”).  The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by any of them as a result of any misrepresentation made by him or her contained herein or in the Investor Questionnaire.
 
2.9  
The Subscriber consents to the placement of one or more legends on any certificate or other document evidencing his or her Units and the Common Stock or Warrants included in the Units or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants stating that they have not been registered under the Act and are subject to the terms of this Agreement, and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on the transferability and sale thereof.

2.10  
The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Company will review this Agreement and the Investor Questionnaire and the Company reserves the unrestricted right, in its sole discretion, to reject or limit any subscription and to close the Offering at any time or not close the Offering.

The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of Subscriber furnished at the end of this Agreement and in the Investor Questionnaire is the undersigned's principal residence if he or she is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
 
2.12  
The Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a Registered Representative of a the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the FINRA Conduct Rules, or any applicable successor rules of FINRA, receipt of which has been acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.  The Subscriber shall also notify the Company if the Subscriber or any affiliate of Subscriber is a registered broker-dealer, in which case the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Units in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of purchase of the Units, has no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Units or any portion thereof.
 
2.13  
The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as set forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or its agents, employees or affiliates and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on any information, other than that contained in the Offering Documents.
 
2.14  
The Subscriber agrees that he or she will purchase securities in the Offering only if his or her intent at such time is to make such purchase for investment purposes and not with a view toward resale.
 
2.15  
If the undersigned Subscriber is a partnership, corporation, trust or other entity, such partnership, corporation, trust or other entity further represents and warrants that:  (i) it was not formed for the purpose of investing in the Company; (ii) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Units; and (iii) that this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the undersigned.
 
2.16  
If the Subscriber is not a United States person, such Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Units.  Such Subscriber's subscription and payment for, and his or her or her continued beneficial ownership of the Units and of the shares of Common Stock included therein or to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber's jurisdiction.

2.17  
The Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the Offering Memorandum may contain material, non-public information concerning the Company within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC, and (ii) the Subscriber is obtaining such material, non-public information solely for the purpose of considering whether to purchase the Units pursuant to a private placement that is exempt from registration under the Act.  In accordance with Regulation FD and other applicable provisions of the Securities Laws, the Subscriber agrees to use such information only for the purpose set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence and to keep such information confidential and not to disclose it to any other person or entity except the Subscriber’s legal counsel, other advisors and other representatives who have agreed (i) to keep such information confidential, (ii) to use such information only for the purpose set forth above, and (iii) to comply with applicable securities laws with respect to such information.  In addition, the Subscriber further acknowledges that the Subscriber and such legal counsel, other advisors and other representatives are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material, non-public information and agrees to refrain from purchasing or selling securities of the Company until such material, non-public information has been publicly disseminated by the Company.
 
2.18  
The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (i) the Units are being offered and sold to Subscriber without registration under the Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act under Section 4(2) of the Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations, and such Subscriber hereby consents to such reliance.
 
2.19  
Neither the Subscriber, nor any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber, has, directly or indirectly, engaged in any transaction in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation any Short Sales involving any of the Company’s securities) since the time that such Subscriber was first contacted by the Company, or any other Person regarding an investment in the Company.  Such Subscriber covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with such Subscriber will engage, directly or indirectly, in any transaction in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed or while the Subscriber is in possession of any material non-pubic information.  “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (as defined below) and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
