prior to a demand therefor by the Company; provided, however, that if payment of any portion of the
Subscription Commitment has not been demanded by the Company by December 31, 2007, Subscriber may
pay such remaining portion within ten (10) days of such date.
c. If Subscriber fails to make any Subsequent Payment within the applicable Call Period, the

shall not be deemed to have been accepted by the Company until the Company indicates its acceptance
by returning to Subscriber an executed copy of this Agreement, and (c) acceptance by the Company of

4. Issuance of Warrant. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions listed in Sections
3(a) and (b) hereof, the Companys receipt of the Initial Payment, and subject to the terms and
conditions of that certain Company common stock purchase warrant, dated as of the date hereof,
executed by the Company in favor of Subscriber (the Warrant Agreement), the Company will issue to
Subscriber a warrant exercisable to purchase that amount of shares of the Companys Common Stock as
is equal to the product of the Subscription Commitment multiplied by 0.267, rounded down to the
nearest whole Share (the Warrant).
5. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. Subscriber hereby represents and
warrants to Company, and covenants with Company, as follows:
a. If Subscriber is an individual, Subscriber is a citizen of
and an individual resident of , and
Subscriber is not a resident of any other state. If Subscriber is an
entity, Subscribers state of formation or incorporation is
and Subscribers principal place of business is
located in .
b. Subscriber is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D enacted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act) by reason of the following:
(Indicate the appropriate number from Exhibit B attached hereto).
c. Subscriber is acquiring the Shares, the Warrant and the shares issued
upon exercise of the Warrant, or any part thereof (collectively, the
Securities) for Subscribers own account for investment and not with
a view to or in connection with any distribution or resale thereof.
Subscriber does not have any contract, understanding, agreement or
arrangement with any person or entity to sell or transfer the
Securities.
d. Subscriber understands that (i) the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any
jurisdiction, and (ii) the economic risk of Subscribers investment in
the Securities must be borne for an indefinite period of time because
the Securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be under no
obligation to register the Securities or take any other action
necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from
registration available. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees
that the Company may require as a condition to its registration of any
transfer of the Securities an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Company to the effect that such transfer will not
violate the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.
e. Subscriber has been informed that the Securities will not be able to be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all conditions of the Rule
are met. Subscriber understands that the Company is not currently required to file periodic
reports with the SEC and does not comply with the Current Public Information requirements
of Rule 144, and further understands that the Company will
3
not be required to comply with these requirements after the issuance of the Securities.
Subscriber further understands that the Company is not currently contemplating complying
with the Current Public Information requirements and consequently Subscriber may not be able
to make any offer or sale of the Securities without registration under the Securities Act
except upon compliance with some other exemption from registration.
f. In addition to restrictions under federal and state securities laws,
Subscriber understands that the Securities will be subject to a right
of first refusal in favor of the Company pursuant to the Bylaws of the
Company.
g. Subscriber (i) has such knowledge and experience with respect to the
financial, tax and business aspects of ownership of the Securities and
of the business contemplated by the Company that Subscriber is capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Company and
making an informed investment decision with respect thereto, and (ii)
can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares including
the complete loss thereof. Subscriber understands that no public
market now exists for the Securities and that there is no assurance
that there will ever exist a public market for the Securities.
h. The proposed investment is suitable for Subscriber based upon
Subscribers financial situation. Subscribers overall commitment to
investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate
to Subscribers net worth, and Subscribers investment in the Company
will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
Subscriber understands that investment in the Company may lead to a
total loss of invested funds, or to illiquidity of invested funds for
an extended period of time. Subscriber has adequate means of
providing for possible personal contingencies and needs, has no need
for liquidity in the proposed investment and can afford the loss of
Subscribers entire investment.
i. Subscriber recognizes that investing in the Company is speculative and involves a
high degree of risk, and Subscriber has taken full cognizance of and understands the risks
related to the purchase of the Securities. Subscriber acknowledges the Company has made
available to Subscriber all records, documents, books of account and other materials
requested by Subscriber which the Company has in its possession or which are readily
obtainable. Subscriber has had during the course of the transaction and prior to the
execution of this subscription, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the sale of the Securities and the
Companys business, management and financial affairs, and to obtain additional information
necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to Subscriber. There is no
information Subscriber has requested that has not been provided to Subscriber. Subscriber
understands that Subscriber may request additional information at any time prior to the
acceptance of this subscription by the Company.
j. Subscriber recognizes and understands that the Investment Summary and the business
plan of the Company included therein (the Business Plan), contain forward-looking
statements about the Companys performance and that there are
4
numerous factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated
by the forward-looking statements. Subscriber understands and accepts that forward-looking
statements are beyond the ability of the Company to control and, in many cases, the Company
cannot predict all factors that would cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements. In addition, Subscriber understands that the
Investment Summary and Business Plan reflect managements plan for the business of the
Company. There is no representation that the Business Plan or other forward-looking
statements in the Investment Summary will be achieved.
k. Subscriber agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, and each other
person, if any, subject to liability because of such persons connection with the Company,
against all claims, losses, damages, judgments and liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses, resulting from any
breach by Subscriber of, or any misrepresentation by Subscriber in, this subscription and to
reimburse the Company and each such other person for any legal and other expenses incurred
by the Company and each such other person in connection with investigating and defending any
such claim, loss, damage, judgment, liability or action.
6. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the transfer
restrictions set forth in the Bylaws of the Company and applicable federal or state securities law
restrictions on all certificates representing Shares. Subscriber shall, at the request of the
Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing Shares in the
