         Section 4.        Securities Laws Matters. The provisions of this
Section 4 relate to any Purchased Stock that Executive purchases under this
Agreement:

                  (a)      Executive represents and warrants that Executive is
         acquiring the Purchased Stock for Executive's own account, to hold for
         investment, with no present intention of dividing Executive's
         participation with others or reselling or otherwise participating,
         directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Purchased Stock and
         that Executive shall not make any sale of the Purchased Stock in
         violation of any state securities laws, or in violation of the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the rules
         and regulations promulgated thereunder by the United States Securities
         and Exchange Commission.

                  (b)      Executive has been advised that the Purchased Stock
         is not being registered under any state securities laws, and are not
         being registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon certain
         exemptive provisions of said Acts.

                  (c)      Executive agrees that the Enstar may refuse to permit
         Executive to sell, transfer or dispose of the Purchased Stock unless
         there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act
         and any applicable state securities laws or Executive furnishes an
         opinion of counsel, satisfactory to counsel for the Enstar, to the
         effect that such registration is not required.

                  (d)      Executive understands and agrees that there may be
         placed on the stock certificates representing such Purchased Stock a
         legend stating in substance:

         THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND SOLD
         WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
         "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, IN RELIANCE
         UPON CERTAIN EXEMPTIVE PROVISIONS OF SAID ACTS. SAID SHARES CANNOT BE
         SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IF SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER WOULD BE: (1)
         PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
         ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION; AND (2) IN A
         TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
         PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS UNDER SUCH LAWS, OR IN A
         TRANSACTION WHICH IS OTHERWISE IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Executive understands and agrees that other legends required under applicable
securities laws also may be placed on such certificates.

                  (e)      Executive is an "accredited investor" as defined by
         Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act in
         that Executive is both an executive officer of Enstar and has a net
         worth in excess of $1,000,000.
