                         II. OFFERING AND SALE OF NOTES

discretion of management of the Company.

purchased for subdivision, fractionalization, resale or distribution; the
undersigned has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or pledge all or any part of the Notes and any
Interests acquired by the undersigned upon conversion of the Notes into
Interests, and the undersigned has no present plans or intentions to enter into

the Company to issue and sell the Notes subscribed for hereby to the
undersigned, the undersigned agrees that the Company will have no obligation to
recognize the ownership, beneficial or otherwise, of the Notes by anyone but the
undersigned.

         (5) The undersigned agrees that he, she or it will not transfer the

                                       3

<PAGE>

         (6) The Notes and any Interests acquired by the undersigned upon
conversion of the Notes into Interests have not and will not be registered under
the Securities Act, and cannot be sold or transferred without compliance with
the registration provisions of said Securities Act or compliance with
exemptions, if any, available thereunder. The undersigned understands that
neither the Company nor the management of the Company has any obligation or
intention to register the Notes under any federal or state Securities Act or
law, or to file the reports to make public the information required by Rule 144
under the Securities Act.

         (7) The undersigned expressly represents that: (a) he, she or it has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general and
in investments of the type described in the Offering Documents in particular,
and that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits, risks and other
facets of the subject investment; (b) his, her or its financial condition is
such that he, she or it has no need for liquidity with respect to investment in

(c) he, she or it is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Notes

or its investment; (d) he, she or it has either secured independent tax advice

investment.

         (8) The undersigned acknowledges that management of the Company has
made all available documents pertaining to the investment opportunity described

described in the Offering Documents.

                                       4

<PAGE>

         (10) The undersigned was not induced to invest by any form of general
solicitation or general advertising including, but not limited to, the
following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the
television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees had been
invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

         (11) The undersigned expressly acknowledges that: (a) the Notes (and
underlying Interests) are speculative investments that involve a high degree of
risk of loss of the entire investment of the undersigned; (b) no federal or
state agency has reviewed or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the
information set forth in the Offering Documents, or made any finding or
determination as to the fairness for investment, or any recommendation or
endorsement of the Notes as an investment; (c) there are restrictions on the
transferability of the Notes; there will be no public market for the Notes and,
accordingly, it may not be possible for the undersigned to liquidate his, her or
its investment in the Notes; (d) the Notes shall bear a legend describing the
restrictions on transfer; stop transfer instructions shall be noted in the
appropriate records of the Company and the originally executed copy of the
Subscription Agreement will be retained by the Company; and (e) any anticipated
federal and/or state income tax benefits applicable to the Notes may be lost
through changes in, or adverse interpretations of, existing laws and
regulations.

         (12) The Company has a limited operating history upon which evaluation
of the Company and its business can be based. The Company's business must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered
by companies operating in new and rapidly evolving markets such as the Internet.
Specifically, such risks include the failure of the Company to anticipate and
adapt to a developing market, the rejection of the Company's services and
products by Internet consumers, development of equal or superior products or
services by competitors, the failure of the market to adopt the Internet as a
commercial medium and the inability to identify, attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in addressing such risks.

         (13) The Company can give no assurance that it can generate revenue
growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue
growth that the Company may achieve may not be indicative of future operating
results. If there are no increased revenues, the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain profitability.

         (14) The market for the Company's services and products is rapidly
evolving and is characterized by an increasing number of market entrants who
have or may introduce or develop services and products for use on the Internet.
As a result, the Company's mix of services and products may undergo substantial
changes as the Company reacts to competitive and other developments in the
overall Internet market. The Company expects that its market will become highly
dependent upon the increased use of the Internet for information, publication,
distribution and commerce.

                                       5

<PAGE>

         The Internet and businesses using the Internet is an unproven medium
for products and services such as those of the Company. Accordingly, the
Company's future operating results will depend substantially upon the increased
use of the Internet by individuals and companies for information, publication,
distribution and commerce, the emergence of the Internet as an effective
business use medium and the successful implementation of the Company's services
and products program. Moreover, critical issues concerning the commercial use of
the Internet (including security, reliability, cost, ease of use, access,
quality of service and acceptance of advertising) remain unresolved and may
impact the growth of Internet use. If widespread commercial use of the Internet
does not develop, or if the Internet does not develop as an effective business
medium, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition
will be materially adversely affected.

         (15) The market for Internet services and products is intensely
competitive. Since there are no substantial barriers to entry, the Company
expects competition in these markets to intensify. Such competitors may be able
to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns and make more attractive offers
to potential employees, distribution partners, advertisers and content
providers. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company's competitors
will not develop Internet services and products that are equal or superior to
those of the Company or that achieve greater market acceptance than the
Company's offerings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete successfully against its current or future competitors.

         (16) All information that the undersigned has provided is correct and
complete as of the date set forth on the subscription page hereof, and if there
should be any material change in such information prior to the acceptance of
his, her or its subscription for the Notes that he, she or it is purchasing, the
undersigned will immediately provide such information to management of the
Company.

                             V. LEGEND REQUIREMENTS

present stockholders to redeem their shares of Interests, then this Subscription
Agreement and all documents submitted herewith shall automatically be canceled,
terminated and revoked, and all funds heretofore or herewith paid shall be
returned promptly to the undersigned or his, her or its successor without
interest.

                           VIII. LOCK-UP RESTRICTIONS

         The undersigned further agrees that should the Company effect an
initial public offering ("IPO") of its Interests (or any equity securities into
which the Interests convert), the undersigned agrees that he, she or it will not
sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Interests or successor securities
owned by the undersigned for a period of 270 days following the declaration of
effectiveness of the IPO without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent may be withheld for any reason.
