(b) The Investor has prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or he has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to him and to all other prospective investors in the Units, including the documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on his behalf, and that he recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment. (c) The Investor acknowledges receipt and careful review of the Memorandum, including, but not limited to, the attachments and exhibits thereto, including the Company’s (i) Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 (“Form 10-KSB”), and (ii) Forms 10-QSB for the quarters ended December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, and hereby represents that he has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all other information regarding the Company which he had requested or desired to know, that all documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for his inspection and review, that he has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Private Placement, and any additional information which he had requested. (d) The Investor understands and recognizes that the purchase of the Units is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk and that only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company. The Investor understands all the risks of investing in the Company, including, without limitation, that (i) the Company has incurred losses of $2,988,035, $220,347, $487,753 and $641,124, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 and each of the quarters ended December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively, and (ii) the Company has received a “qualified” auditor’s opinion from each of its independent auditors, upon their review of the Company’s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and that such opinions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Investor has also reviewed the risk factors contained in Part I of the Form 10-KSB. (e) The Investor acknowledges that the Private Placement will be conducted on a “best efforts” basis, and that there is no minimum amount of Units which must be subscribed for in order to close any purchase. One or more Closings will be held at such times as agreed to by the Company and the determination as to the timing of Closing shall bear no relation to the aggregate amount of funds and could be with respect to one or more subscriptions.

(g) The Investor understands that the Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units and Common Stock underlying the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon his investment intention. In this connection, the Investor understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if his representation merely meant that his present intention was to hold such securities for a short period, such as the capital tax gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming that a market exists, or for any other fixed period. The Investor realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with his representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale to which such exemptions are not available. (h) The Investor understands that he may never be able to liquidate his investment in the Company. Although the Company has undertaken to register under the Securities Act the Common Stock comprising Units and the Warrant Shares, there can be no assurance that such registration will ever be effective or remain effective, or that there will be any liquidity with respect to the sale of such securities, if and when registered.

Rule 144 requires, among other conditions, a one year holding period prior to the resale (subject to certain volume limitations) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Investor understands that the Company must be current with respect to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and its dissemination to the public of any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as required by Rule 144, as one of the conditions of its availability. The Investor understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act, with the exception of certain registration rights set forth in Section 4 hereafter exclusively with respect to the Common Stock comprising the Units and the Warrant Shares The Investor further understands that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Securities out of his name only when his request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed transfer does not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws. The Investor agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers and controlling persons and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of any misrepresentation made by him contained herein or any sale or distribution by the undersigned Investor in violation of any securities laws under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.

(o) The Investor acknowledges that if he is a Registered Representative of an NASD member firm, he must give such firm the notice required by the NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.
