4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBER
The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows, and acknowledges that the Corporation is relying upon such covenants, representations and warranties in connection with the sale of the Units to such Subscriber:
The Subscriber is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that he/she/it is able to fend for himself/herself/itself, can bear the economic risk of his/her/its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that he/she/it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Units. The Subscriber can bear the economic risk of this investment, and, if the Subscriber is not an individual, was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Units.
The Subscriber has had full opportunity to review the Corporation's filings with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including the Corporation's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and additional information regarding the business and financial condition of the Corporation. The Subscriber believes he/she/it has received all the information he/she/it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Units. The Subscriber further represents that he/she/it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Corporation regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Corporation. The Subscriber has had full opportunity to discuss this information with the Subscriber's legal and financial advisers prior to execution of this Agreement.
The Subscriber acknowledges that the offering of the Units by the Corporation has not been reviewed by the SEC and that the Units are being issued by the Corporation pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
The Subscriber understands that the Units he/she/it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Corporation in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Subscriber represents that he/she/it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
The Units will be acquired by the Subscriber for investment for the Subscriber's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Subscriber has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Subscriber does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Units.
An investment in the Corporation is highly speculative and only Subscribers who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Corporation and the Units. The Subscriber is financially able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Corporation.
The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk in that the Corporation is in the early stages of development of its business and may require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of this private placement.
The Subscriber is not aware of any advertisement of the Units.
This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Subscriber.
The Subscriber has satisfied himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws of his/her/its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Agreement, including: (a) the legal requirements within his/her/its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to an Investment in the Units; and (e) any restrictions on transfer applicable to any disposition of the Units imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber is resident.
The Subscriber is purchasing the Units as principal for his/her/its own account and not for the benefit of any other person.
