A press release issued by the Company in connection with the closing of the private placement is filed with this report as Exhibit 99.1.

1 By way of example, if a person had net assets of $1,000,000 (excluding their primary residence) and a primary residence worth $2,000,000 with a $1,000,000 mortgage, their net worth for the purposes of the above accredited investor representations would be $1,000,000 even if by other measures of net worth, the $1,000,000 net worth in the residence ($2,000,000-the $1,000,000 mortgage) would be added to the $1,000,000 in other net assets.  If the mortgage were $3,000,000 rather than $1,000,000, the person would be deemed to have a net worth of $0. The $1,000,000 net worth from other assets would be reduced by the $1,000,000 excess liability in the house ($2,000,000 residence value - $3,000,000 mortgage).

3.             Closing .  The subscription shall close upon acceptance at the sole discretion of the Company upon the receipt by the Company of Subscription Agreements (including this Agreement) to purchase an aggregate of at least ____________ Shares (the " Initial Closing ").  The Company may sell additional Shares, at one or more additional closings (collectively, the " Additional Closings " and collectively with the Initial Closings, the “ Closings ” and each a “ Closing ”).

4.             Representations and Warranties of the Investor .   The Investor understands and acknowledges that (a) the Shares are being offered and sold under one or more of the exemptions from registration provided for in Section 4(2) or Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), including Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, if the Investor is a Non-U.S. Person, Regulation S promulgated thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws, (b) he or it is purchasing the Shares without being offered or furnished any offering literature or prospectus other than a certain power point presentation dated March 14, 2011 (the “Written Disclosure”), and (c) this transaction has not been reviewed or approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any regulatory authority charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state or foreign country.  The Investor also represents and warrants as follows:

4.2.   Suitability .   The Investor understands and has fully considered for purposes of this investment the risks of this investment and understands that (i) this investment is suitable only for an investor who is able to bear the economic consequences of losing his or her entire investment, (ii) the purchase of the Shares is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss by the Investor of his or her entire investment, and (iii) there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of, and there will (for the foreseeable future) be no public market for, the Shares, and accordingly, it may not be possible for an indeterminate period of time to liquidate his or her investment in the Shares (if ever).  Furthermore, the Investor represents that he or she has sufficient liquid assets so that the lack of liquidity associated with this investment will not cause any undue financial difficulties or affect the ability of the Investor to provide for his or her current needs and possible financial contingencies.

4.3.   Investment Information .   The Investor acknowledges that the Written Disclosure contains the views of the management of the Company, and that the analysis or presentation of the Company's obligations and prospects, to the extent reflected therein, represents a subjective assessment about which reasonable persons could disagree.

4.4.   Access to Information .   The Investor, in making his, her or its decision to purchase the Shares, has relied solely upon the Investor's independent investigations and has, if requested, been given (i) access to all material books and records of the Company; (ii) access to all material contracts and documents relating to the transaction described herein; and (iii) an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the appropriate executive officers and other persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Company and its prospects and the terms and conditions of this Offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information set forth in the Written Disclosure.  The Investor acknowledges that no request to the Company by the Investor for information of any kind about the Company has been refused or denied by the Company or remains unfulfilled as of the date of this Agreement.

4.5.   Investment Intent .   The Shares are being acquired by the Investor solely for the Investor's own personal account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or distribution of the Shares; the Investor has no contract, undertaking, understanding, agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to any person any of the Share or any interest or rights in any of the Shares; the Investor has no present plans to enter into any such obligation; and the Investor understands the legal consequences of the representations and warranties made by him or her in this Agreement to mean that he or she must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (which the Company is not obligated, and has no current intention, to do) or unless an exemption from such registration becomes available.

4.6.   No Distribution of Offering Materials .   The Investor has not distributed the Written Disclosure to any other person or party other than Investor’s advisors; and he has not used the Written Disclosure for any purposes other than to evaluate the merits of an investment in the Company.

4.7.   Control of Funds .   The Investor represents that the funds provided for this investment are the separate property of the Investor or are otherwise funds as to which the Investor has the sole right of management.

4.8.   Review of Written Disclosure .   The Investor has carefully read the Written Disclosure.  In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Investor has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) other than as set forth in the Written Disclosure or as contained in any documents or answers to questions furnished by the Company.

4.9.   Sophistication of Investor .   The Investor either (i) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or its controlling persons, such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or its controlling persons, or (ii) by reason of his or her business or financial experience, individually or in conjunction with his or her unaffiliated professional advisors, the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, making an informed investment decision and protecting his or her own interests.

4.10.   Accuracy of Information .   All of the information set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, including without limitation the Accredited Investor Status indicated as applicable to the Investor, is true and correct in all respects.

4.11.   Contacts with the Company .   The Investor’s initial contacts with the Company were not as a result of the Company’s filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 registering its shares of common stock for sale nor was the Investor contacted by the Company in connection with the offering of securities pursuant to such registration statement.  The Investor either has a pre-existing business relationship with the Company or has engaged in discussions with the Company regarding establishing a business relationship.

4.12.   No Brokers .   The Investor has not engaged any broker, dealer, finder, commission agent or other similar person in connection with the offer, offer for sale, or sale of the Shares and is not under any obligation to pay any broker's fee or commission in connection with his investment.

4.13.    Securities Act Compliance .   The Investor understands that the easiest way to sell his or her Shares in the future would be to sell in an initial underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities or to a purchaser of the entire Company or its business.  In the absence of a public offering or such a sale, however, the Investor may sell his or her Shares in compliance with various private sale exemptions under applicable securities laws.  Accordingly, the Investor understands that:

d.           In the case of securities to which Rule 144 is not applicable, compliance with Regulation A under the Securities Act or some other exemption will be required.

e.           Rule 144 is not now available with respect to the Shares.

f.           The Company is under no obligation to register the Shares or to comply with Regulation A or any other exemption under the Securities Act or to supply any information necessary to permit routine sales under Rule 144.

g.           The Company may, if it so desires permit the transfer of the Shares and of all securities issued in exchange therefore only when such Shares or securities are the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or when the Company has received an opinion of counsel that such registration is not required under the Securities Act.  The Investor agrees to furnish such documentation and undertakings as the Company and its counsel may reasonably require in connection with any such opinion, whether under Rule 144 or some specific exemption under the Act.

h.           The Company may place certain legends on the certificate(s) for the Shares as required by applicable laws, including a legend in form substantially as follows and, with respect to Shares issued to Investors who are not U.S. Persons a legend referencing transfer restrictions applicable to Shares issued pursuant to Regulation S:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or applicable state securities laws and none of such securities, nor any interest therein, may be sold, transferred, assigned, made the subject of any security interest, or otherwise disposed of, without an effective registration statement for such securities under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the Act or such state securities laws.
