Gentlemen:
This letter is furnished to Genesis Financial Group, a Virginia
corporation, ("Corporation"), in connection with the investment by the
undersigned on this date in the amount shown above for the acquisition of one or
more Retail Installment Sales Contracts ("Contracts") generated by Mr. Car Man,
Inc. ("MCMI") during the course of its normal business operations of selling
used vehicles, together with the Corporation's guarantee ("Guarantee") of the
contractual obligations under each Contract sold, which Contracts have been
purchased at a discount by the Corporation. In conjunction herewith, the
undersigned hereby delivers his check, payable to the Corporation, in the amount
equal to the total investment shown above. Since the Corporation's Guarantee
pertains to each Contract sold hereunder, future reference to the term
"Contract" shall be deemed to incorporate the underlying Guarantee which
securities are sold as a unit.
The undersigned hereby understands that the Contracts have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") and that the Corporation reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any subscription at any time.
Contemporaneously with the offering of its Contracts, the Corporation will also
offer for sale to selected investors its corporate promissory notes ("Notes").
Although the Corporation does not currently intend to sell more than
$1,500,000.00 in Contracts to investors, the Corporation reserves the right to
sell up to $7,500,000.00 in Contracts, as well as up to $7,500,000.00 in Notes.
In no event, however, will more than $7,500,000.00 in the aggregate of Contracts
and Notes be
E-2
sold to Investors. If not sooner terminated by the Corporation, this offering
will terminate on the second anniversary date of the Effective Date of the
Registration Statement. The undersigned understands there is no minimum
offering amount required to be received before the Corporation may fully utilize
the undersigned's funds. In conjunction with the offering, the undersigned
agrees to execute the Power of Attorney form delivered with this Letter.
Nature, Type And Return On Investment
-------------------------------------
The undersigned understands that the Corporation is in the business of
purchasing at a discount some or all of the Contracts generated by MCMI from
time to time as they arise. Accordingly, the number of Contracts assigned to a
particular investor will vary depending on his total investment, the value of
the Contracts allocated to his account, and the investment option selected by an
investor hereinabove. The 20% and 25% investment options offered to investors
represent an annual return on investment. The Corporation intends to pass
through to investors part or all of each customer's monthly payments under the
Contracts to satisfy the Corporation's obligations to its investors purchasing
Contracts. In the event a customer should default, the Corporation is obligated
to replace the defaulted contract with a new Contract having similar terms and
conditions. Until a replacement Contract is substituted for a defaulted
Contract, the Corporation will guarantee that all payments due and owing to an
Investor will be made on a timely basis. The Corporation intends to use its
capital reserves and other sources of revenue, including funds generated from
the sale of its Notes and customer payments on Contracts purchased from MCMI and
retained by the Corporation, to satisfy such obligations. The investment
options, return rates and the Corporation's obligations to replace defaulted
Contracts and guarantee payments are more particularly detailed in the
Prospectus to which reference is hereby made.
The undersigned acknowledges that he will receive a return of principal and
interest on a monthly basis corresponding with the monthly payments set forth
under the Contracts assigned to his account. The actual purchase price for a
Contract is based upon the original face value of the Contract, the interest
rate, the amortization schedule and the discounted purchase price paid to MCMI
by the Corporation. Reference is made to the Prospectus for a more detailed
discussion of how the purchase price for and investment return on a Contract is
calculated. The portion of the undersigned's investment attributable to a
particular Contract will be calculated in advance to correlate with the
investment option selected.
The Corporation will attempt to maintain at all times a portfolio of valid
and current Contracts for each investor to the extent of the investor's actual
outstanding investment in the Corporation. The undersigned understands that the
Corporation
E-3
assumes the risk of any default under a Contract and will replace, as soon as
reasonably practicable, any defaulting Contract with a new Contract of
comparable value. Further, the undersigned acknowledges and understands that
the success of the Corporation's business depends upon the creation by MCMI of
new sale transactions on a continual basis and that his investment hereunder
will correlate with the availability of identifiable and executed Contracts.
The Corporation undertakes to notify and submit a copy to the undersigned of
each new Contract assigned to the undersigned's account. The undersigned
understands that the Corporation will cover the monthly payments on any
defaulting Contract until such time that a new Contract is substituted therefor.
However, the undersigned will not be entitled to receive any sum in excess of
his stated return. In addition, the Corporation reserves the right at any time
and from time to time to return an investor's funds without penalty.
Indenture
---------
The Contracts and Notes offered by the Corporation will be issued pursuant
to and subject to the terms of that certain Indenture agreement executed by the
Corporation in conjunction with this offering. The Indenture is required under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and imposes additional obligations on the
Corporation in issuing the Contracts and Notes and servicing its debt
obligations thereunder. A copy of the Indenture will be provided to each
investor to which document reference is hereby made.
Delivery Of Original Documents
------------------------------
Once a Contract has been assigned to a particular investor's portfolio,
that Contract will remain in that investor's portfolio until the investor's
rights in that Contract are terminated or unless there is a default thereunder
at which time the Corporation will replace such Contract with a comparable one
as soon as possible. In the interim, the Corporation will continue any monthly
payments attributable to any such defaulting Contract until it is so replaced.
All original Contracts will be delivered to an investor as they are assigned.
