A.
|
I
(i) have adequate means of providing for my current needs and possible
contingencies and I have no need for liquidity of my investment in the
Units, (ii) can bear the economic risk of losing the entire amount of my
investment in Units, and (iii) have such knowledge and experience that I
am capable of evaluating the relative risks and merits of this
investment.
|
B.
|
I
have received and carefully read, and am familiar with the SEC Filings,
including, without limitation, the “Certain Risk Factors” section of the
Registration Statement. All documents, records and books
pertaining to the Company and requested by me, financial and otherwise,
have been made available or delivered to
me.
|
C.
|
I
have had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the
Company’s management concerning the Company’s affairs generally and the
terms and conditions of my proposed investment in the Units. I
have had the opportunity, and I have been encouraged by the Company, to
consult my financial and legal advisers in determining whether to invest
in the Subscribed Units.
|
D.
|
I
understand the risks implicit in the business of the
Company. Among other things, I understand that there is no
assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the funds
necessary for its success.
|
E.
|
No
person or entity has made any representation or warranty whatsoever with
respect to any matter or thing concerning the Company and this offering,
and I am purchasing the Units based solely upon my own investigation and
evaluation.
|
F.
|
I
acknowledge that the Units are being sold by the Company in a non-public
offering pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder. I acknowledge that this offering consequently has
not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. I
understand that no Units have been qualified pursuant to the provisions of
the securities or other laws of applicable
jurisdictions.
|
G.
|
The
Units for which I subscribe are being acquired solely for my own account,
for investment and are not being purchased with a view to or for their
resale or distribution. In order to induce the Company to sell
Units to me, the Company will have no obligation to recognize the
ownership, beneficial or otherwise, of the Units by anyone but
me. I understand that the Units have not been registered under
the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions
of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon my investment
intention.
|
H.
|
I
have not received any advertisement or general solicitation with respect
to the sale of the Units.
|
I.
|
If
I am a Registered Representative of an FINRA member firm, I acknowledge
that I must give such firm the notice required by FINRA's Rules of Fair
Practice or any applicable successor rule of FINRA, receipt of which must
be acknowledged by such firm on the signature page
hereof.
|
J.
|
Except
as specifically indicated to the contrary on the Subscription Agreement, I
certify that my taxpayer identification number is correct and, if I am not
a corporation, IRA, Keogh, or Qualified Trust (as to which there would be
no withholding), I am not subject to backup withholding on interest or
dividends. If I have not provided a taxpayer identification number
certified to be correct or do not make the certification that I am not
subject to backup withholding, then I may be subject to twenty percent
(20%) withholding on interest or dividends paid to
me.
|
K.
|
I
represent and warrant that I am an “accredited investor” and come within
one or more of the categories set forth
below.
|
|
Any

secured by such property.

|
O.
|
I
understand that the Subscribed Units and any shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants (collectively, the "Covered Securities") are characterized
as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as
they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a
public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such
Covered Securities cannot be resold unless they are registered under the
Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is
available. It is understood that any certificates or other
documents evidencing the Covered Securities may bear a legend
substantially as follows:
|
P.
|
I
understand that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or
limit any subscription.
|
Q.
|
I
hereby represent that, except as set forth in this Subscription Agreement,
no representations or warranties have been made to me by the Company, the
Managers or any agent, finder, employee or affiliate of the Company, and
in entering into this transaction, I am not relying on any information,
other than that contained in the Memorandum and the results of independent
investigation by me.
|
R.
|
This
Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by me and
constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of me,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity.
|
S.
|
Each
of the representations and warranties herein shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, any investigation by or on
behalf of the Company and the issuance of the Subscribed
Units.
|
A.
|
Any
dispute involving, arising out of or related to the interpretation,
application or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement shall be
submitted to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration
Association, whose rules applicable to commercial disputes shall apply
except as modified hereby. The arbitration hearing shall take
place in Los Angeles County, California before one arbitrator, who shall
be a retired judge. The arbitrator shall comply with the

otherwise. The arbitrator may award attorney and expert witness

Subscription Agreement except to the extent otherwise provided
herein. The judgment of the arbitrator shall be binding and may
be entered as a final judgment by any court having jurisdiction over the
parties hereto. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
UNDER THIS SECTION EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY ARBITRABLE CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM. Prior to arbitration,
if the parties agree they shall first participate in mediation of any
dispute. The mediator shall be selected pursuant to the rules
of the American Arbitration Association unless otherwise agreed by the
parties, and shall be conducted in accordance with the mediation
procedures of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however,
that a matter subject to mediation pursuant to this Section that is not
resolved by mediation within thirty (30) days shall be submitted to
binding arbitration pursuant to this
Section.
|
B.

Subscription Agreement is expressly not intended for the benefit of any
other person; and except and only to the extent provided by applicable
statute, no such creditor or third party shall have any rights under this
Subscription Agreement.
|
C.

Except
as otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement, any notice required
or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions of this Subscription

D.
|
This

binding on all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all the parties are
not signatories to the original or the same
counterpart. Facsimile signatures shall be acceptable as if
original signatures had been
exchanged.
|
G.
|
If
a court or an arbitrator of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of
this Subscription Agreement to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid in
whole or in part for any reason, such provision shall be adjusted rather
than voided, if possible to achieve the intent of the parties to the
extent possible, and in any event the validity and enforceability of the
remaining sections shall not be affected unless an essential purpose of
this Subscription Agreement would be defeated by the loss of the illegal,
unenforceable, or invalid provision. Without limiting the
foregoing, in the event that any provision of this Subscription Agreement
relating to time period and areas of restriction shall be declared by an
arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time
period or areas such arbitrator or court deems reasonable and enforceable,
the agreed upon time period and areas of restriction shall be deemed to
become and thereafter be the maximum time period and areas which said
arbitrator or court deems reasonable and
enforceable.
