Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by each party to the other parties, this Agreement will be effective.

Article 5. Trading Restriction
 
Party A acknowledges that the Shares have not been, and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Party A’s representations expressed in this Agreement. Party A understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Party A must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.
 
Each certificate representing the Shares will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legends required by agreement or by applicable state securities laws):
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT). SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH A REGISTRATION UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.

 
 
 
Article 6. Risk factors
 
Party A agrees that investment in the Common Stock of the Company involves a high degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative. Party A further represents and agrees that it can afford a loss of its entire investment. In addition to the other information contained in this document, Party A has considered carefully the following factors.
 
a)
Limited Operating History. The Company has only a limited operating history from which Party A can evaluate its business and prospects for future success. The Company has recognized only very limited revenues to date.
 
b)
Full Disclosure. Party A acknowledges that it has reviewed the Company’s public disclosure documents filed with the SEC which can be found at www.sec.gov.
 
c)
Lack of Transferability, Marketability and Liquidity of the Shares. The Common Stock is currently quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, but trading volume is low and liquidity is limit. Consequently, Party A is prepared to remain a shareholder of the Company for long time. The Shares may not be sold in the public market except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

d)
Minimal Capital. The Company currently believes it will need additional capital to sustain its operation. There can be no assurances we will be successful in obtaining this financing. If the amount of funding is not sufficient to obtain profitable business operations and the Company is liquidated, there will very likely not be any assets in the Company for payment to the shareholders.
 
e)
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company’s development of its concept and business is dependent on its management team and the loss of any one of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
