          6.4. Assisting Parties Suitability; Illiquidity; Ability to Bear Loss.
Each of the Assisting Parties represents and warrants that the overall
commitment of such Assisting Party to securities which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth, and that his investment in

personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in this investment in the
Company, and can sustain a complete loss of this investment in the Company.
          6.5. Independent Investigation; Access. Each of the Assisting Parties,
in making the decision to purchase the Units in the Company under this
Agreement, has relied upon independent investigations made by such Assisting
Party and his representatives (if any), and each of the Assisting Parties and
such representatives (if any) have, prior to any election by Assisting Parties,
been given access and the opportunity to examine all material books and records
of the Company, if any, all material contracts, and business plans of the
Company, and have had an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers
from, the Company or any person acting on its behalf concerning the terms and
conditions of this offering, and to obtain any additional information to the
extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without
unreasonable effort or expense. Each of the Assisting Parties and his
representatives, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the
business, finances and operation of the Company that have been requested. Each
of the Assisting Parties and his representative, if any, have received complete
and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries.
          6.6. Adequacy of Investigation. Each of the Assisting Parties
acknowledges that he is acquiring Units in the Company after what such Assisting

plan, and prospects of the Company by such Assisting Party and his
representatives, if any.
          6.7. Additional Investment Representations.
                    6.7.1. Units Not Registered; Indefinite Holding. Each of the
Assisting Parties has been advised by the Company, and understands, that he must

Securities Act, and the Company is under no obligation to register the Units.
3
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
                    6.7.2. Acquisition for Own Account. Each of the Assisting
Parties represents that the Units are being acquired solely for such Assisting
Party's own account for investment and not with a view toward, or for resale in
connection with, any "distribution" (as that term is used in the Securities Act)
of all or any portion thereof.
                    6.7.3. Financing. Each of the Assisting Parties has the
funds necessary to consummate the transactions hereunder.
                    6.7.4. Private Offering Exemption; Reliance on
Representations. Each of the Assisting Parties understands that the offer of the
Units is not being registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the
so-called "private offering" exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 and that the Company is basing its reliance on that
exemption in part on the representations, warranties, statements and agreements
contained herein.
                    6.7.5. Acceptance of Risk. Each of the Assisting Parties
acknowledges and accepts the risks associated with an investment in the Units.
Each of the Assisting Parties has read and is familiar with the risk factors
described below and elsewhere in this Agreement. Each of the Assisting Parties
has considered carefully, among other factors, the risk factors and other
special considerations relating to the Company and the Units offered for sale
under this Agreement, which include, but may not be limited to, those set forth
below. Not every possible risk is listed in this Agreement.
                    6.7.6. Investment Not Liquid. The Units must be acquired for
the accounts of the Assisting Parties for investment purposes only and cannot be
readily resold. There is no established market for the Units, and there can be
no assurance that a market for the Units will develop. No repurchase of the
Units is being offered hereby or will be made by the Company.
          6.8. Risk Factors. Each of the Assisting Parties acknowledges and
agrees that it is aware of the following risk factors:
                    6.8.1. No Assurance of Success or Profitability. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate successfully or
profitably.
                    6.8.2. Dependence on Current Management. The Company's
success will greatly depend upon the Company's current management. It will be
their responsibility to determine the suitability of desired transactions and
the development of future programs. Assisting Parties will be entrusting to the
Company's management the task of analyzing and evaluating the transaction
opportunities and their potential. Management will devote as much of their time
to the Company as is reasonably needed.
                    6.8.3. Additional Financing Required. The Company will need
additional capital to complete its business plan. No assurance can be given that
the Company will be successful in raising additional capital in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
                    6.8.4. Inherent Risks in the Industry. The Company will
still be subject to the risks inherent in operating a retail electric provider
in the state of Texas. These include fluctuations in general and local economic
conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, the supply and demand for
electricity, all of which may result in increased costs or decreased revenues to
the Company and otherwise have an adverse impact on the Company's operations.
For these and other reasons, no assurance of profitable operations can be made.
                    6.8.5. Governmental Regulation and Legal Uncertainties. The
Company is subject to certain laws, rules and regulations that govern various
industries. Although the Company intends to use its best efforts to ascertain
and comply with all applicable laws and regulations, no assurance can be given
that the Company will be able to comply with these laws or regulations.
                    6.8.6. Risks Related to Pro Forma Financial Information. The
pro forma financials of the Company, if any, contain certain information that is
based on a number of estimates and assumptions which, though considered
reasonable by the Company, are subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company's management.
Pro forma projections are necessarily very speculative in nature, and it is not
unusual that one or more of the assumptions upon which they are based do not
materialize. Among the assumptions on which the Company's projections are based
are that the level of business conducted by the Company will grow or be
maintained at specific levels, the continued absence of significant government
regulation, and a healthy economy. The occurrence of certain events such as a
change in the governmental regulatory environment, unanticipated competition, an
economic downturn, and similar factors could prevent the Company from realizing
the results set forth in the pro forma financial information. The information
set forth in the pro forma financial information, if any, is intended to be an
approximate business projection and it is not intended to represent an accurate
or reliable prediction of the revenue, profits or losses that may actually
materialize for the Company in the future. The information set forth, if any, is
preliminary and incomplete and is subject to change or modification as more
complete information becomes available or if changes occur in variable economic
conditions.
                    6.8.7. Competition. The business in which the Company will
operate has numerous competitors. Such competitors have substantial financial
and personnel resources, longer histories, stronger name recognition, and a
larger customer base. These competitive factors could have an adverse effect on
the operations of the Company.
                    6.8.8. No Assurance of Distributions; No Right to
Participate in Management. There can be no assurance that the Company will make
distributions to its members in the foreseeable future. The Units do not grant
Assisting Parties the right to participate in the Company's management.
7. Survival of Parties' Representations. All representations, warranties, and
agreements made by the Parties to this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
