representation or warranty, express or implied, in purchasing the Common Stock.



	2.
	Financial Situation. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended and presently in effect. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser's current needs
and possible personal contingencies, and has no need for liquidity of such Purchaser's investment in the Company, such purchaser can bear the economic risk of losing such Purchaser's entire investment
herein, such Purchaser has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the relative risks and merits of this investment, and such Purchaser
is capable of evaluating the relative risks and merits of this investment, and such Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to such
Purchaser's net worth and the investment made hereby will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.



	3.
	Common Stock Not Registered. The Purchaser understands that the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities
Act or qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions from registration provided thereunder, and further understands that such Purchaser is acquiring the Common Stock without
being furnished any literature or prospects.



	4.
	Purchase for Own Account. The Purchaser is purchasing the Common Stock for such Purchaser's own account, for
long-term investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution thereof. The Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or

2





 


Company.
The Purchaser has, to the extent such Purchaser has availed himself of this opportunity, received satisfactory information and answers. 



	6.
	Pre-Existing Relationship and/or Sophistication. The Purchaser represents that such Purchaser either has a
pre-existing business relationship with the Company or any of it's officers, directors or controlling persons, or that by reason of such Purchaser's business or financial experience of
such Purchaser's professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, such Purchaser has
the capacity to protect such Purchaser's own interest in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.



	7.
	Risk Associated with Investment. The Purchaser acknowledges and is aware that:



	(i)
	The
Company has limited financial or operating history and that the Common Stock is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss by the
Purchaser of such Purchase's entire investment in the Company.



	(ii)
	No
federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the offering of the Common Stock for investment or any recommendation or
endorsement offering; and



	(iii)
	It
never has been represented, guaranteed or warranted to such Purchaser by the Company, its agents, or employees or any other person, expressly or by implication, any
of the following: (1) the approximate or exact length of that time such Purchaser will be required to remain as owner of the Common Stock; (2) the profit or return, if any, to be
realized as a result of the Company's venture; and (3) that the past performance or experience on the part of the Company or any affiliate, its agents, or employees or of any other person, will
in any way indicate the predictable results of the ownership of the Common Stock or the overall Company venture






	8.
	Investment Risks. The Purchaser has been informed and understands and agrees as follows: (i) an investment in the
Company is a speculative investment with high degree of risk of loss and such Purchaser must, therefore, be able to presently afford a complete loss of this investment; (ii) such Purchaser must
be able to hold the Common Stock indefinitely due to substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Common Stock and the fact that there is no public market for resale of the Common Stock; and
(iii) it may not be possible to liquidate the Common Stock and the case of emergency and/or other need and such Purchaser must, therefor, have adequate means of providing for such Purchaser's
current and future needs and personal contingencies and have no need for liquidity in this investment. Such Purchaser has evaluated such Purchaser's financial resources and investment position in view
of the foregoing, and is able to bear the economic risk of this investment.



	9.
	No Advertising. To the best of the Purchaser's knowledge and belief the offer and sale of the Common Stock was not
accomplished by the publication of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet;
nor was the offer and sale of the Common Stock accomplished through any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by and any such publication or advertisement.



	10.
	Authorization. The Purchaser represents that such Purchaser is at least twenty one (21) years of age, has full
right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement. The Purchaser further agrees that upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binging obligation of the Purchaser

	11.

financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution by such Purchaser of all or any part of the Common Stock purchased pursuant hereto.



	12.
	Legend. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the certificate representing the Common Stock shall bear a legend
similar to the following:
