________________________________________________________________________________

2.         _________ The Selling Shareholder understands and acknowledges that (a) the Shares are being offered and sold under one or more of the exemptions from registration provided for in Section 4(2) of the  Securities  Act of 1993,  as  amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  including any applicable state securities laws, (b) the Selling Shareholder has reviewed the confidential business plan of the Company or such other  material  documents  of the Company as the  undersigned  has deemed necessary or  appropriate  for purposes of purchasing the Shares, including this agreement (collectively, the "Offering Documents"); and (c) this transaction has not been  reviewed or  approved by the United  States  Securities  and  Exchange Commission or by any regulatory authority charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state or foreign country.

(a) Sophistication of Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder either (i) has a preexisting personal or business  relationship with the Company or its controlling  persons, such as would enable a reasonably prudent Selling Shareholder to be aware of the character and  general  business  and  financial  circumstances  of  the  Company  or  its controlling  persons,  or (ii) by reason of the Selling Shareholder's business or financial experience,  individually  or in conjunction  with the  Selling Shareholder's  unaffiliated professional advisors who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company,  directly or indirectly,  is capable of evaluating the  merits  and  risks of an  investment  in the  Shares,  making  an  informed investment  decision and  protecting  the Selling Shareholder's own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Suitability.  The Selling Shareholder  understands and has fully  considered for purposes of this investment the risks of this  investment and  understands  that (i) this  investment  is suitable  only for an Selling Shareholder  who is able to bear the economic  consequences  of losing the  Selling Shareholder's  entire  investment;  (ii) the Company is a start-up  enterprise with no significant  operating history;  (iii) the purchase of the Shares is a  speculative  investment  which  involves a high degree of risk of loss by the Selling Shareholder of the Selling Shareholder's entire investment,  and (iv) there are substantial restrictions on the  transferability  of, and there will be no public market for, the Shares, and  accordingly,  it may not be  possible  for the  Selling Shareholder to  liquidate  the Selling Shareholder's investment in the Shares.

(c) Lack of Liquidity.  The Selling Shareholder is able (i) to bear the economic risk of this investment, (ii) to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of the Selling Shareholder's investment; and represents that the Selling Shareholder has sufficient liquid assets so that the lack of liquidity associated with this investment will not cause any undue financial difficulties or affect the Selling Shareholder's ability to provide for the Selling Shareholder's current needs and possible financial contingencies.

(d) Access to Information. The Selling Shareholder, in making the Selling Shareholder's decision to purchase the Shares, has relied solely upon independent  investigations  made by the Selling Shareholder and the  representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the  Selling Shareholder  has been given (i)  access to all  material  books and records of the Company;  (ii) access to all  material  contracts  and  documents relating to this offering;  and (iii) an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive  answers  from,  the  appropriate  executive  officers and other persons acting  on  behalf  of the  Company  concerning  the  Company  and the terms and conditions of this offering,  and to obtain any additional  information,  to the extent  such  persons  possess  such  information  or  can  acquire  it  without unreasonable  effort  or  expense,  necessary  to  verify  the  accuracy  of the information set forth in the Offering Documents.  The Selling Shareholder acknowledges that no valid  request to the Company by the  Selling Shareholder  for  information  of any kind about  the  Company  has been  refused  or  denied  by the  Company  or  remains unfulfilled as of the date thereof.

(e)  Investment Intent. The Shares are being acquired by the Selling Shareholder solely for the Selling Shareholder's own personal  account,  for investment  purposes only, and not with a view to,  or in  connection  with,  any  resale  or  distribution thereof; the Selling Shareholder has no contract, undertaking,  understanding, agreement or arrangement,  formal or informal, with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to any  person the Shares for which the  Selling Shareholder  hereby  subscribes,  or any part thereof, any interest  therein or any rights  thereto;  the Selling Shareholder has no present  plans to enter into any such contract,  undertaking,  agreement or  arrangement;  and the Selling Shareholder understands the legal consequences of the foregoing representations and warranties  to mean  that  the  Selling Shareholder  must  bear  the  economic  risk of the investment  for an  indefinite  period of time  because the Shares have not been registered  under the Securities Act and applicable  state  securities laws and, therefore,  cannot be sold unless  they are  subsequently  registered  under the Securities Act and applicable  state  securities  laws (which the Company is not obligated, and has no current intention, to do) or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(k) No Brokers. The Selling Shareholder has not engaged any broker, dealer, finder, commission agent or other similar person in connection with the offer, offer for sale, or sale of the Shares and is not under any obligation to pay any broker's fee or commission in connection with the Selling Shareholder's investment.

(l) Securities Act Compliance. The Selling Shareholder understands that the Shares have not been  registered  under the  Securities  Act,  by reason of a  specific exemption  under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends in part upon the investment  intent and the aforesaid  representations  and warranties of the Selling Shareholder and that, in issuing the Shares to the Selling Shareholder, the Company is relying upon said representations and warranties. The Selling Shareholder also understands that any routine sales of the Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if the provisions of such Rule should then be available as to the Shares, can be made only after the holding period specified in the Rule, in limited amounts, and in  accordance  with all the terms and  conditions of that Rule and that, in the case of securities  to which that Rule is not  applicable,  compliance  with Regulation A under the Securities Act or some other  exemption will be required. The Selling Shareholder understands that Rule 144 is not now available as to the Shares. The Selling Shareholder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares  or to  comply  with  Regulation  A or  any  other  exemption  under  the Securities  Act or to supply any  information  necessary to permit routine sales under Rule 144. The Selling Shareholder understands that the Company may, if it so desires, permit the transfer of the Shares only when such shares are the subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or when the Company has received an opinion of counsel that such registration is not required under the Securities  Act. The Selling Shareholder agrees to furnish such documentation and undertakings as the Company and its counsel may reasonably require in connection with any such opinion, whether under Rule 144 or some specific exemption under the Act.

 

 

3.           none of the Pubco Shares have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or, directly or indirectly, to U.S. Persons, as that term is defined in Regulation S, except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state and foreign securities laws;
