     (g) That the

investment; (ii) the purchaser of the Securities must bear the economic risk of

THE SECURITIES IN THE FORM OF SERIES A
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC. HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND ARE BEING ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUCH
SECURITIES CANNOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF,
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT,
OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

     12. The
undersigned has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities laws and that the
Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws and
that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on the
undersigned's representations as contained herein. The undersigned represents,
warrants and agrees that the Securities are being acquired by the undersigned
solely for the undersigned's own account, for investment purposes only, and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The undersigned has no
agreement or other arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge any
part of the Securities or which would guarantee the undersigned of any profit or
against any loss with respect to the Securities; and the undersigned has no
plans to

-6-

enter into any such agreement or
arrangement. The undersigned further represents that the undersigned's financial
condition is such that he or it is not under any present necessity or constraint
to dispose of such shares to satisfy any existing or contemplated debt or
undertaking. The undersigned is aware that, in the view of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a purchase of such securities with an intent to resell by
reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market
value, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in connection with a
contemplated liquidation settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of
such securities and for which such securities were pledged, would represent an
intent inconsistent with the representations set forth above. The undersigned
further represents and agrees that if, contrary to the foregoing intentions, the
undersigned should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of such securities
any of such securities in any manner, the undersigned shall not do so without
first obtaining (i) the opinion of counsel to the Company that such proposed
disposition or transfer may be lawfully made without the registration of such
Securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as then amended, and
applicable state securities laws, or (ii) such registration has been completed
and is currently in effect.

     13. The
undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is a bona fide resident
of, is domiciled in and received the offer and made the decision to invest in
the Securities in the state or country set forth on the signature page hereof,
and the Securities are being purchased by the undersigned in the undersigned's
name solely for the undersigned's own beneficial interest and not as nominee
for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention
to transfer to, any other person, trust or organization.

     14. The
undersigned is informed of the significance to the Company of the foregoing
representations, agreements and consents, and they are made with the intention
that the Company will rely on them.

    15.  The undersigned, if
other than an individual, makes the following additional

regarding the tax consequences of an investment in the Company. The undersigned
acknowledges that he, she or it has been advised to consult with his, her or its
own attorney regarding legal matters concerning the investment and to consult
with independent tax counsel or advisors regarding the tax consequences of such
investment.

     17.   All of the foregoing information which the undersigned
has provided concerning the undersigned, the undersigned's financial position
and the undersigned's knowledge of financial and business matters, or, in the
case of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, concerning the
knowledge of financial and business matters of the person making the investment
decision on behalf of such entity, is correct and complete as of the date set
forth at the end hereof, and if there should be any adverse change in such
information prior to this subscription being accepted, the undersigned will
immediately provide the Company with such information.

affiliated.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

	1     
    	The NASD defines a "member" as
      being any broker or dealer admitted to membership in the NASD, or any
      officer or partner of such a member, or the executive representative of
      such a member or the substitute for such representative. 
	 
	2     
    	The NASD defines a "person
      associated with a member" as being every sole proprietor, general or
      limited partner, officer, director or branch manager of such member, or
      any natural person occupying a similar status or performing similar
      functions, or any natural person engaged in the investment banking or
      securities business who is directly or indirectly controlling or
      controlled by such member (for example, any employee), whether or not any
      such person is registered or exempt for registration with the NASD. Thus,

      limited partner, officer, director or branch manager or an organization of
      any kind (whether a corporation, partnership or other business entity)
      which itself is a "member" or a "person associated with a member." In
      addition, an organization of any kind is a "person associated with a
      member" if its sole proprietor or anyone of its general or limited
      partners, officers, director or branch managers is a "member" or "person
      associated with a member."
