2.        Representations by Holder.

2.1   The Holder recognizes that the acquisition of the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains a development stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units; (c) the Holder may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Conversion Shares is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Holder could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Conversion Shares.

2.2  The Holder represents that the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Conversion Shares.
 
2.3   The Holder hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Holder has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are thinly traded on the OTCBB or the Holder 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 Holder and to all other prospective investors in the Units to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Holder’s behalf; (b) the Holder recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (c) the Holder is able to bear the economic risk that the Holder hereby assumes.
 
2.4   The Holder hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, the reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including all exhibits thereto and the Risk Factors included in our Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2012, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby represents that the Holder has been furnished by the Company with all information regarding the Company any additional information that the Holder 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder hereby confirms that it has not received from the Company nor is it in possession of any material nonpublic information relating to the Company and its operations.
 
2.5  The Holder consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Common Stock that such Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement.  The Holder is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
