Other
Restrictions on Resale of Shares.

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and
that under the Act and other applicable laws the Purchaser may be required to
hold such Shares for an indefinite period of time. Each stock
certificate representing Shares shall bear the following legends, as well as any

appropriate:
“THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE
CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.
4.
Representations and
Acknowledgments of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby
represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that:
4.1 Investment. The
Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for the Purchaser’s own account, and not
directly or indirectly for the account of any other person. The
Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a
view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with the Act and any
applicable state laws regulating securities.
4.2 Access to
Information. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the
Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial
condition and results of operations of the Company. The Purchaser has
had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for
the Purchaser to make a fully informed decision as to investment in the Company,
and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to
verify any of such information to which the Purchaser has had
access.
2
4.3 Pre-Existing
Relationship. The Purchaser further represents and warrants
that he has either (i) a pre-existing relationship with the Company or one or
more of its officers or directors consisting of personal or business contacts of
a nature and duration which enable him to be aware of the character, business
acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or any
such officer or director with whom such relationship exists or (ii) such
business or financial expertise as to be able to protect his own interests in
connection with the purchase of the Shares.
4.4 Speculative
Investment. The Purchaser understands that his purchase of the
Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk
of loss in whole or in part; the amount of such investment is within the
Purchaser’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to the
Purchaser’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial
needs of the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s family in the event such investment
were lost in whole or in part.
4.5 Unregistered
Securities.
(a) The
Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of
time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act and therefore
cannot and will not be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the
Act or there exists an available exemption from such
registration. The Company has made no agreements, covenants or
undertakings whatsoever to register the Shares, or any portion thereof, under
the Act. The Company has made no representations, warranties or
covenants whatsoever as to whether there exists any exemption from the Act,
including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine
brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, and that any such
exemption pursuant to Rule 144, if available at all, will not be available
unless: (i) a public trading market then exists in the Company’s
common stock, (ii) adequate information as to the Company’s financial and other
affairs and operations is then available to the public, and (iii) all other
terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.
(b) The
Shares have not been registered or qualified under any applicable state laws
regulating securities and therefore the Shares cannot and will not be sold
unless they are subsequently registered or qualified under any such applicable
state laws or there exists an available exemption therefrom. The
Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register
or qualify the Shares under any such state laws. The Company has made
no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any
exemption from such states laws will become available.
5.
Tax
Advice. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has not
relied and will not rely upon the Company or the Company’s counsel with respect
to any tax consequences related to the ownership, purchase, or disposition of
the Shares. The Purchaser assumes full responsibility for all such
consequences and for the preparation and filing of all tax returns and elections
which may or must be filed in connection with such Shares. The
Purchaser has executed and delivered to the Company an Acknowledgement, attached
hereto as Attachment
1.
6.
No
Commitment. Nothing in this Agreement gives Purchaser any
rights to remain an employee or director of, or a consultant to, the Company or
constitutes an agreement that the Purchaser will be employed or retained by the
Company for any term.
3
7.

notice, request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be

or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized
