The Shares are being offered to an unlimited number of Accredited Investors until the earlier of: (A) that date upon which subscriptions for the Maximum Offering have been received and accepted by the Company; (B) November 15, 2016; or (C) that date upon which the Offering is terminated by the Company.
 
WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to purchase that number of shares of Shares set forth on the signature page hereof on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
 
I.              SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER
 
1.1              Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of shares of Shares, and the Company agrees to sell the number of Shares to the Subscriber as is set forth on the signature page hereof, at a per share price equal to $0.04 per Share (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price is payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to:
 
1.2              The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to risks relating to the Shares, the Company and its operations.
 
1.3              The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an "Accredited Investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D ("Regulation D") promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber's responses to the questions contained in Article V hereof.
 
1.4              The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange, or the Subscriber has employed the services of a "purchaser representative" (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber's behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
 
1.5              The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement and any documents which may have been made available upon request (collectively referred to as the "Offering Materials").   The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.
 

 
1.6              In making the decision to invest in the Shares, the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials.  To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase hereunder.  The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any advertisements of the Offering and statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber's consideration of an investment other than the Offering Materials.
 
1.7              The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber's business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber's professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber's own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
 
1.8              The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation D.  The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or "blue sky" laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares unless it is registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
 
1.9              The Subscriber understands that the Shares are being sold to the Subscriber by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber's investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for the Subscriber's own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others. The Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Shares.
 
1.10             The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Shares that such securities have not been registered and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement.  The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Shares. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
 
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement for such securities under said act or (ii) an opinion of company counsel that such registration is not required."
 
1.11             The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby given authority by the Subscriber to make such inquiries that the Company deems necessary in order to verify the accredited investor status of the Subscriber and otherwise verify any other information provided to the Company by the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber's principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
 
1.12             The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Shares.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
 
1.13             If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.
 
1.14             The Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of an FINRA member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the FINRA's Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in Section 5.3 below.
 

 
1.15             The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Subscriber's investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company's prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
 
1.16             The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any sale or distribution of the Shares by the Subscriber in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws; or (b) any false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including the Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article V herein) or any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

4.3              This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among them.
 
4.4              Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber, this Agreement shall become a binding obligation of the Subscriber with respect to the purchase of the Shares as herein provided, subject, however, to the right hereby reserved by the Company to enter into the same agreements with other Subscribers and to add and/or delete other persons as Subscribers.

4.8              It is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.
