 JJ Company Shareholder Representations in Connection with the BUYER Stock.  Each Company Shareholder represents, acknowledges and warrants the following to BUYER and the BUYER Shareholders in connection with his, her or its receipt of the BUYER Stock:
 

 i.
 Each Company Shareholder recognizes that the BUYER Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the BUYER Stock is registered under the Act or unless an exemption from registration is available.  Each Company Shareholder may not sell the BUYER Stock without registering them under the Act and any applicable state securities laws unless exemptions from such registration requirements are available with respect to any such sale;
 

 ii.
 Each Company Shareholder is acquiring the BUYER Stock for his, her or its own account for long-term investment and not with a view toward resale, fractionalization or division, or distribution thereof, and he, she or it does not presently have any reason to anticipate any change in his, her or its circumstances, financial or otherwise, or particular occasion or event which would necessitate or require the sale or distribution of the BUYER Stock.  No one other than such Company Shareholder will have any beneficial interest in said securities;
 

 

 
  
 iii.
 Each Company Shareholder acknowledges that he, she or it is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and/or such Company Shareholder is aware of BUYER’ business operations and financial condition and has reviewed information regarding BUYER similar to what would be included in an initial Registration Statement filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including BUYER’ financial statements;
 

 iv.
 Each Company Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Company Shareholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the BUYER Stock and of making an informed investment decision, and does not require a Purchaser Representative in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the BUYER Stock;
 

 v.
 Each Company Shareholder recognizes that an investment in BUYER is a speculative venture and that the total amount of BUYER Stock is placed at the risk of the business and may be completely lost.  The purchase of BUYER Stock as an investment involves special risks;
 

 vi.
 Each Company Shareholder realizes that the BUYER Stock shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the BUYER Stock must not be purchased unless such Company Shareholder has liquid assets sufficient to assure that such receipt of BUYER Stock will cause no undue financial difficulties and such Company Shareholder can provide for his, her or its current needs and possible personal contingencies;
 

 vii.

 Each Company Shareholder has carefully considered and has, to the extent he, she or it believes such discussion necessary, discussed with his, her or its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the BUYER Stock for his, her or its particular tax and financial situation and that such Company Shareholder and his, her or its advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, has determined that the BUYER Stock are a suitable investment for he, she or it;
