-4-

 
(a)  The Seller recognizes that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act,” or the “Act”), nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the Shares is registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from registration is available.  The Seller may not sell the Shares without registering them under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws unless exemptions from such registration requirements are available with respe ct to any such sale.

The Seller is acquiring the Shares for its own account for long-term investment and not with a view toward resale, fractionalization or division, or distribution thereof, and it does not presently have any reason to anticipate any change in its circumstances, financial or otherwise, or particular occasion or event which would necessitate or require the sale or distribution of the Shares.  No one other than the Seller will have any beneficial interest in said securities.  The Seller agrees to set forth the terms of its ownership, record address and tax id number on the Type of Ownership Form, attached hereto as Exhibit B;

(d)  The Seller recognizes that an investment in the Purchaser is a speculative venture and that the total amount of consideration tendered in connection with this Agreement is placed at the risk of the business and may be completely lost.  The ownership of the Shares as an investment involves special risks;

(e)  The Seller realizes that the Shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the Shares must not be accepted unless such Seller has liquid assets sufficient to assure that such Seller can provide for current needs and possible personal contingencies;

(f)  The Seller confirms and represents that it is able (i) to bear the economic risk of the Shares, (ii) to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of the Shares.  The Seller also represents that it has (i) adequate means of providing for its current needs and possible personal contingencies, and (ii) has no need for liquidity in the Shares;

(h)  The Seller has carefully considered and has, to the extent it believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Shares for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for it;

(i)  The Seller has not become aware of and has not been offered the Shares by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to such Seller’s knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising;

(j)  The Seller understands that the Shares are being offered to it in reliance on specific exemptions from or non-application of the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and that the Purchaser is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Seller set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Seller to acquire the Shares. All information which Seller has provided to the Purchaser concerning the undersigned's financial position and knowledge of financial and business matters is correct and complete as of the date hereof, and if there should be any material change in such info rmation prior to acceptance of this Agreement by the Purchaser, the undersigned will immediately provide the Purchaser with such information; and

(k)  The Seller understands and agrees that a legend has been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Shares in substantially the following form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT.  THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION."
