Purchaser Representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the General
Rules and Regulations  under the Act) in connection with this  transaction.  The

         (b)      the Subscription Agreement;

         (c)      that  there  are  substantial risk factors to be considered in
connection with an investment in the Company,  certain of which are described in

with  limited  operating  history,  minimal  revenues  and  losses to date;  (2)
possible  acquisition  of assets and/or  investments  in related  businesses may
cause  material  reallocation  of use of proceeds,  reduced time period in which
Offering  proceeds would otherwise be utilized and may accelerate future capital
needs; (3) possibility of operational  delays and/or related cost overruns ; (4)
reliance upon third parties for operational,  maintenance and possible marketing
support;

       (C) 2000 RDC International Inc.                                     3

(5) no  audited  or  unaudited  financial  statements;  (6)  possible  need  for

         (d)    that the Shares are speculative investments which involve a high
degree of risk of loss of an investor's entire investment in the Company;

         (e)   that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of
the  Shares  and  that  the  Shares  are not  registered  under  the Act and are
considered  "restricted  securities"  as  that  term  is  defined  in  Rule  144
promulgated  under the Act;  there is presently no public market for any of such
Shares and no assurances  are given that a public market will be developed or be
sustained if developed; accordingly, the undersigned may have to hold the Shares
indefinitely  and it may  not  be  possible  for an  investor  to  liquidate  an
investment in the Company;

     (2)  (Please  complete  only if a  Purchaser  Representative  is acting for

     undersigned;

          (b)  in  evaluating  a  potential   investment  in  the  Company,  the
     undersigned  has been  advised by the  Purchaser  Representative  as to the
     merits and risks of the  investment in general and the  suitability  of the
     investment for the undersigned in particular;

          (c) the Purchaser Representative has confirmed to the undersigned,  in
     writing  (a copy of which  instrument  is FORM 3  attached),  the  specific
     details  of any and all past,  present  or future  material  relationships,
     actual  or  contemplated,  between  the  Purchaser  Representative  and the
     Company; and

          (d) the  undersigned  has reviewed with such Purchaser  Representative
     and, accordingly, is familiar with and understands:

                (i)  the Memorandum;

connection  with an  investment  in the Company,  certain of which are described

that term is defined in Rule 144  promulgated  under the Act; there is presently
no public  market  for any of such  Shares  and no  assurances  are given that a
public market will be developed or be sustained if developed;  accordingly,  the

(a) to hold  unregistered  securities  for an indefinite  period of time and (b)
sustain a complete loss of the entire amount of the subscription;  (iii) has not
made an overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable which

and  (iv)  confirms  that  there  has been no  material  adverse  change  in the
information,  financial and other,  previously  given to the Company in order to
induce the Company to send this form of  Subscription  Agreement,  except as set
forth below:

reasonable business hours at the Company's principal place of business.

Dear Subscriber:

The information contained herein is being furnished to the Company in order that
it may determine  whether offers of subscriptions  for the Shares may be made to
me in light of the  requirements  of Regulation D promulgated  under the Act and
certain  exemptions  contained in state  securities  laws. I understand that the
information is needed for you to determine  whether you have reasonable  grounds
to  believe  that I am an  "Accredited  Investor"  as that  term is  defined  in
Regulation  D and  that I have  such  knowledge  and  experience  in  financial,
investment  and business  matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the proposed  investment in the Company. I understand that (a) you will
rely on the information contained herein for purposes of such determination, (b)
the Shares will not be  registered  under the Act and by  Regulation  D, (c) the
Shares will not be registered under the securities laws of any state in reliance
upon similar exemptions,  and (d) this questionnaire is not an offer to purchase
the Shares or any other  securities  in any case  where such offer  would not be
legally permitted.

Information  contained in this  questionnaire  will be kept  confidential by the
Company and its agents,  employees or  representatives.  I understand,  however,
that the  Company  may have the need to present  it to such  parties as it deems
advisable in order to  establish  the  applicability  under any federal or state
securities laws of an exemption from registration.

In accordance with the foregoing, the following  representations and information
are hereby made and furnished:

Please answer all questions. If the answer is "none" or "not applicable," please
so state.

         2.2  Any  and  all  information  about  the  Employer,  including  that
information  which is  learned  by the  Undersigned  Employee  during his or her
Employment  with  Employer,  is  considered   confidential  and  proprietary  to

limited  to  Employer's  list of  Clients  and its  methods  of doing  business,
including its fee structure,  pricing schedules,  finances, business procedures,
sales letters, marketing materials and proposals.

         2.3 Employer also considers  confidential  and proprietary its software
code,  flowcharts,   design  documents,   programming   methodology,   debugging
techniques, and all other information relating thereto.

         2.4 Accordingly,  absent  authorization by an officer of Employer,  the
Undersigned Employee hereby agrees not to disclose to others, either directly or
through any third party, the confidential and proprietary  information specified
in  Paragraphs  2.1,  2.2  and/or  2.3,  regardless  of the manner in which said
information was communicated to or received by the Undersigned Employee, whether
oral,  written,  digital or  otherwise,  and  regardless  of whether or not said
information was marked as confidential or proprietary.

         2.5  The   confidential  and  proprietary   information   specified  in
Paragraphs  2.1,  2.2 and/or 2.3 is  considered  proprietary  to, the  exclusive
property of and owned-in-full by Employer. Accordingly, the Undersigned Employee
hereby  agrees not to use,  either  directly  or through any third  party,  said
information  in any manner  outside his or her Course of Employment  without the
express written authorization of an officer of Employer.

         2.6  The obligations set forth in Paragraphs 2.4 and 2.5 shall continue
ad infinitum.

III.     AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE

she will not engage in any activities  competitive to the Business  Interests of
Employer,  or advise or be  employed  by any  company  or other  entity,  in any

         3.4 The  Undersigned  Employee  acknowledges  that the  obligations set
forth in  Paragraphs  3.1,  3.2  and/or  3.3 may,  for a limited  period of time
subsequent to Termination,  result in a decrease in earning  capacity.  However,
the Undersigned Employee represents that he or she has demonstrated abilities to
earn substantial income from business activities  non-competitive  with those of
Employer and has accepted the restrictions imposed by this Agreement as a result
of his or her  considered  judgment  of the  benefits  that may accrue  from the
employment with Employer.

         3.5 Although  Employer has  attempted to place the  narrowest  possible
limitations on the Undersigned  Employee's subsequent employment  opportunities,
the Undersigned Employee may nonetheless find that such limitations constitute a
serious  handicap in securing further  employment.  In the event the Undersigned
Employee finds that the  obligations set forth in Paragraphs 3.1, 3.2 and/or 3.3
constitute a serious  handicap in securing further  employment,  the Undersigned
Employee  agrees to make written  request to Employer for a waiver thereof prior
to accepting  employment in conflict  therewith.  Such request shall include the
name and address of the  organization  at which the  Undersigned  Employee seeks
employment,  and the position and complete list of duties which the  Undersigned
Employee  will be  performing  therefor.  A waiver,  unqualified  or upon stated
conditions, may be granted by Employer. However, Employer is under no obligation
to waive any of the  obligations  set forth in  Paragraphs  3.1,  3.2 and/or 3.3
where waiver will or may, in the subjective opinion of Employer,  interfere with
or be adverse to Employer's Business Interests as same may develop.

         3.6 It is understood that any violation by the Undersigned  Employee of
any  obligation  set forth in  Paragraphs  3.1,  3.2 and/or 3.3 would  result in
substantial   harm  to  Employer  for  which  an  adequate   remedy  at  law  is
insufficient.  Accordingly,  Employer may seek injunctive  relief as a result of
any  violation  by the  Undersigned  Employee  of any  obligation  set  forth in
Paragraphs 3.1, 3.2 and/or 3.3.  Injunctive  relief shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other remedies available to the Employer.

IV.      ASSIGNMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

         4.1 Any and all work  product  produced  for the  Employer and services
rendered by the Undersigned  Employee  during his or her Employment,  whether in

during his or her  Employment,  is  considered  proprietary  to,  the  exclusive
property of and owned-in-full by Employer.

         4.2 Any and all  inventions or  improvements  of an invention,  whether
patentable  or not,  copyrights,  trademarks,  trade  dress,  trade  secrets  or

during  his or her  Employment  as a direct  or  indirect  result  of his or her
Employment,  is  considered  proprietary  to,  the  exclusive  property  of  and
owned-in-full by Employer.

Employer the subject  matter set forth in Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 as necessary to
keep Employer fully and timely aware of same.

         4.4 The  Undersigned  Employee  hereby  agrees  to  assign  and by this
document does hereby  assign to Employer any and all rights,  title and interest
which  he or she has or may  have in and to the  subject  matter  set  forth  in
Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2.

         4.5 The  Undersigned  Employee  shall and will do all  lawful  acts and
things, make all rightful oaths, and make, execute and deliver any and all other
instruments in writing, and any and all further  applications,  papers,  powers,
affidavits,  assignments,  disclaimers and other documents which may be required
or necessary in this or in any foreign country to more effectually secure to and
vest in  Employer  the entire  right,  title and  interest in and to the subject
matter specified in Paragraph 4.4.
