              4.  

            	
              TRANSFER
      RESTRICTIONS.

            


    

     

    (a) Subscriber
represents that Subscriber understands that the sale or transfer of the Units
(and underlying securities) are severely restricted and that:

     

    (i) The Units
(and underlying securities) have not been registered under the Securities Act or
the laws of any state or other jurisdiction.  The Units (and
underlying securities) can not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by
Subscriber unless the Units (and underlying securities) are subsequently
registered under applicable law or an exemption from registration is
available.  The Company is not required to register the Units (and
underlying securities) or to make any exemption from registration available, and
therefore, the Subscriber may be precluded from selling, transferring or
otherwise disposing of the Units (and underlying securities) or any portion
thereof and may have to bear the economic risk of Subscriber’s investment for an
indefinite period of time; and

     

    (ii) There is
no public market and there will probably not be a public market for the Units
(and underlying Subordinated Note and Preferred Stock) and Subscriber may not be
able to sell the Units (and underlying Subordinated Note and Preferred Stock) at
prices equal to or greater than the price paid for them or at
all.  Accordingly, the Subscriber may have to bear the economic risk
of Subscriber’s investment for an indefinite period of time.

     

    (b) Subscriber
agrees that Subscriber will not sell, offer to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Units (and underlying securities) or any part thereof or interest
therein without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or an exemption from such registration, other than a sale or
transfer to the Company at an agreed upon price.

     

    (c) Restrictive Legend and Stop
Transfer Order.  The Subscriber acknowledges that:

     

    (i) any
certificates representing the securities underlying the Units will bear a legend
similar to the following:

     

    The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any
state.  The securities may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged
or otherwise disposed of unless (i) there is an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state
securities laws,  or (ii)  the Company has received an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel that the proposed
transaction will be exempt from such registration; and

     

    (ii) the
Company reserves the right to place a stop order against any securities
underlying the Units and to refuse to effect any transfers thereof in the
absence of an effective registration statement with respect to thereto or in the
absence of an opinion of counsel to the Company that such transfer is exempt
from registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities
laws.

              INDEMNIFICATION AND
      HOLD HARMLESS.

            


    

     

    Subscriber
agrees that if Subscriber breaches any agreement, representation or warranty
Subscriber has made in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, including its directors, officers,
employees and shareholders, against any claim, liability, loss, damage or
expense (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of investigating and
litigating claims) caused, directly or indirectly, by Subscriber’s
breach.

Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may disclose such
Company Confidential Information to Subscriber’s personal advisors provided that
such advisors agree to be bound by the foregoing confidentiality and
non-disclosure provisions.

              MISCELLANEOUS.

            


    

     

    (a) Additional
Information.  The Company may request from Subscriber such
additional information as it may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of
Subscriber to acquire Units (and underlying securities), and may request from
time to time such information as it may deem necessary to determine the
