CONSENT OF DEFENDANT LAWRENCE COLLINS 

1. Defendant Lawrence Collins ("Defendant"), without admitting or denying the 

allegations of the amended complaint (except as to personal and subject matter jurisdiction. 

which Defendant admits), hereby consents to the entry of the final Judgment in the form attached 

hereto (the "Final Judgment") and incorporated by reference herein, which, among other things: 

(a) Dismisses all claims for primary and/or aiding and abetting liability

thereunder [17 C.F.R. §240.10b-51; 

(b) permanently restrains and enjoins Defendant from violations of Sections 

17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act [15 U.S.C. §§77q(a)(2) and 

Case 1:07-cv-00039-SM Document 242 Filed 06/24/11 Page 5 of 9
17(a)(3)] and Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. 

§78m(b)(5)] and Rules 13b2-l and 13b2-2 thereunder [17 U.S.C. 

§240.13b2-l, 13b2-2]; 

(c) orders Defendant to pay disgorgement in the amount of $ 12,000. plus 

prejudgment interest thereon in the amount of $2443.53, which is intended 

as disgorgement and not as a fine or penalty; 

(d) orders Defendant to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $ 10,000 under 

Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78u(d)(3)]. 

2. Defendant agrees that he shall not seek or accept, directly or indirectly, 

reimbursement or indemnification from any source, including but not limited to payment made 

pursuant to any insurance policy, with regard to the penalty amount specified in paragraph l.(d) 

above that Defendant pays pursuant to the Final Judgment, regardless of whether such amount or 

any part thereof is added to a distribution fund or otherwise used for the benefit of investors. 

Defendant further agrees that he shall not claim, assert, or apply for a tax deduction or tax credit 

with regard to any federal, state, or local tax for the amount that Defendant pays pursuant to the 

Final Judgment, regardless of whether such amount specified in paragraph l.(d) above or any 

part thereof is added to a distribution fund or otherwise used for the benefit of investors. 

3. Defendant waives the entry of findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to 

Rule 52 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

4. Defendant waives the right, if any, to a jury trial and to appeal from the entry of 

the Final Judgment. 

5. Defendant enters into this Consent voluntarily and represents that no threats, 

offers, promises, or inducements of any kind have been made by the Commission or any 

2 

Case 1:07-cv-00039-SM Document 242 Filed 06/24/11 Page 6 of 9
member, officer, employee, agent, or representative of the Commission to induce Defendant to 

enter into this Consent. 

6. Defendant agrees that this Consent shall be incorporated into the Final Judgment 

with the same force and effect as if fully set forth therein. 

7. Defendant will not oppose the enforcement of the Final Judgment on the ground, 

if any exists, that it fails to comply with Rule 65(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and 

hereby waives any objection based thereon. 

8. Defendant waives service of the Final Judgment and agrees that entry of the Final 

Judgment by the Court and filing with the Clerk of the Court will constitute notice to Defendant 

of its terms and conditions. Defendant further agrees to provide counsel for the Commission, 

within thirty days after the Final Judgment is filed with the Clerk of the Court, with an affidavit 

or declaration stating that Defendant has received and read a copy of the Final Judgment. 

9. Consistent with 17 C.F.R. § 202.5(f), this Consent resolves only the claims 

asserted against Defendant in this civil proceeding. Defendant acknowledges that no promise or 

representation has been made by the Commission or any member, officer, employee, agent, or 

representative of the Commission with regard to any criminal liability that may have arisen or 

may arise from the facts underlying this action or immunity from any such criminal liability. 

Defendant waives any claim of Double Jeopardy based upon the settlement of this proceeding. 

including the imposition of any remedy or civil penalty herein. Defendant further acknowledges 

that the Court's entry of a permanent injunction may have collateral consequences under federal 

or state law and the rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations, licensing boards, and 

other regulatory organizations. Such collateral consequences include, but are not limited to, a 

statutory disqualification with respect to membership or participation in, or association with a 

3 

Case 1:07-cv-00039-SM Document 242 Filed 06/24/11 Page 7 of 9
member of. a self-regulatory organization. This statutory disqualification has consequences that 

are separate from any sanction imposed in an administrative proceeding. In addition, in any 

disciplinary proceeding before the Commission based on the entry of the injunction in this 

action, Defendant understands that he shall not be permitted to contest the factual allegations of 

the complaint in this action. 

10. Defendant understands and agrees to comply with the Commission's policy "not 

to permit a defendant or respondent to consent to a judgment or order that imposes a sanction 

while denying the allegation in the complaint or order for proceedings." 17 C.F.R. § 202.5. In 

compliance with this policy, Defendant agrees: (i) not to take any action or to make or permit to 

be made any public statement denying, directly or indirectly, any allegation in the complaint or 

creating the impression that the complaint is without factual basis; and (ii) that upon the filing of 

this Consent, Defendant hereby withdraws any papers filed in this action to the extent that they 

deny any allegation in the complaint. If Defendant breaches this agreement, the Commission 

may petition the Court to vacate the Final Judgment and restore this action to its active docket. 

Nothing in this paragraph affects Defendant's: (i) testimonial obligations; or (ii) right to take 

legal or factual positions in litigation or other legal proceedings in which the Commission is not 

a party. 

11. Defendant hereby waives any rights under the Equal Access to Justice Act, the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, or any other provision of law to 

seek from the United States, or any agency, or any official of the United States acting in his or 

her official capacity, directly or indirectly, reimbursement of attorney's fees or other fees, 

expenses, or costs expended by Defendant to defend against this action. For these purposes, 

4 

Case 1:07-cv-00039-SM Document 242 Filed 06/24/11 Page 8 of 9
Defendant agrees that Defendant is not the prevailing party since the parties have reached a good 

faith settlement. 

12. In connection with this action Defendant (i) will accept service by mail or 

facsimile transmission of notices or subpoenas issued by the Commission for testimony at trial; 

(ii) appoints Defendant's undersigned attorney as agent to receive service of such notices and 

subpoenas provided that the party requesting the testimony reimburses Defendant's travel. 

lodging, and subsistence expenses at the then prevailing U.S. Government per diem rates. 

13 Defendant agrees that the Commission may present the Final Judgment to the 

Court for signature and entry without further notice. 

14. Defendant agrees that this Court shall retain jurisdiction over this matter for the 

purpose of enforcing the terms of the Final Judgment.
