SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
In connection with my exchange of membership interests of M&L Corporation ("M&L") for the $.001 value common stock (the "Common Stock") of Deja Foods, Inc. ("Deja Foods") and other consideration, I acknowledge the matters set forth below and promise that the statements made herein are true. I understand that Deja Foods is relying on my truthfulness in issuing the Common Stock to me.
I understand that the Common Stock is being issued to me in a private transaction in exchange for my shares of M&L and in reliance upon the exemption provided in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for non-public offerings and pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between Deja Foods and M&L, I understand that the Deja Foods Common Stock is "restricted" under applicable securities laws and may not be sold by me except in a registered offering (which may not ever occur) or in a private transaction like this one. I know this is an illiquid investment and that therefore I may be required to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time, but under no circumstances less than one year from the date of its issuance.
I am acquiring the Common Stock solely for my own account, for long-term investment purposes only and not with a view to sale or other distribution. I agree not to dispose of any Common Stock unless and until counsel for Deja Foods shall have determined that the intended disposition is permissible and does not violate the Act, any applicable state securities laws or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
All information, financial and otherwise, or documentation pertaining to all aspects of my acquisition of the Common Stock and the activities and financial information of Deja Foods has been made available to me and my representatives, if any, and I have had ample opportunity to meet with and ask questions of senior officers of Deja Foods, and I have received satisfactory answers to any questions I asked.
In acquiring the Common Stock, I have reviewed the Agreement Concerning the Exchange of Common Stock between M&L and Deja Foods and the Exhibits thereto and have made an independent investigation of Deja Foods. I am an experienced investor, have made speculative investments in the past and am capable of analyzing the merits of an investment in the Common Stock.
I understand that the Common Stock is highly speculative, involves a great degree of risk and should only be acquired by individuals who can afford to lose their entire investment. Nevertheless, I consider this a suitable investment for me because I have adequate financial resources and income to maintain my current standard of living even after my acquisition of the Common Stock. I know that Deja Foods financial affairs can fluctuate dramatically from time to time, and that although I could lose my entire investment, I am acquiring the Common Stock because I believe the potential rewards are commensurate with the risk. Even if the Common Stock became worthless, I could still maintain my standard of living without significant hardship on me or my family.
