The 2001 E-Sign Act was meant to ease the adoption of electronic signatures. The mechanics of this Subscription Agreement’s electronic signature include the Investor signing this Agreement below by typing in the Investor’s name, with the underlying software recording the Investor’s IP address, the Investor’s browser identification, the timestamp, and a securities hash within an SSL encrypted environment.

Each of the Investor and the Company hereby consents and agrees that electronically signing this Agreement constitutes such party’s signature, acceptance, and agreement as if actually signed by such party in writing. Additionally, all parties agree that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate any electronic signature; and that the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of the Investor’s signature or resulting contract between the Investor and the Company. The Investor understands and agrees that the Investor’s e-signature executed in conjunction with the electronic submission of this Subscription Agreement shall be legally binding, and such transaction shall be considered authorized by the Investor. The Investor agrees that the Investor’s electronic signature is the legal equivalent of the Investor’s manual signature on this Subscription Agreement, and the Investor consents to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement. Furthermore, each of the Investor and the Company hereby agrees that all current and future notices, confirmations and other communications regarding this Subscription Agreement specifically, and future communications between the parties in general, may be made by email, sent to the email address of record as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or as otherwise from time to time changed or updated and disclosed to the other party, without necessity of confirmation of receipt, delivery or reading, and such form of electronic communication is sufficient for all matters regarding the relationship between the parties. If any such electronically sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including, but not limited to, such communication being diverted to the recipient’s spam filters by the recipient’s email service provider, or due to a recipient’s change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipient’s service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including, but not limited to, postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received. No physical, paper documents will be sent to the Investor, and if the Investor desires physical documents, the Investor agrees to be satisfied by directly and personally printing, at the Investor’s own expense, the electronically sent communication(s), and maintaining such physical records in any manner or form that the Investor desires. | |

Upon closing, the Investor will receive a notice of the Investor’s holdings delivered to the Investor’s address of record above. | |
| 6. | Jury Trial Waiver. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT BUT NOT INCLUDING CLAIMS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF SUCH PARTY.
