agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby:

(a)
|
In
making the decision to invest in the Securities, you have discussed
with
your counsel the representations, warranties and agreements which
you are
making in this letter agreement, the applicable limitations upon
the
resale of the Securities, and the investment, tax and legal consequences
of this investment. You disclaim reliance on any statements made
or
information provided by any person or entity in the course of your
consideration of an investment in the
Securities.
|
(b)
|
You
understand that no federal or state agency has made any finding or
determination regarding the fairness of this investment or any
recommendation or endorsement of this
investment.
|
(c)
|
You
are purchasing the Securities for your own account, with the intention
of
holding the Securities for investment purposes, with no present intention
of dividing or allowing others to participate in this investment
or of
reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in
a
distribution of the Securities; and shall not make any sale, transfer
or
other disposition of the Securities without registration under the
1933
Act and applicable state securities laws unless an exemption from
registration is available under those laws. You are not acquiring
any
portion of the Securities or any interest therein, on behalf of another
person. No person other than you has any direct or indirect beneficial
interest in the Securities purchased hereunder by
you.
|
(d)
|
Your

will not cause such overall commitment to become
excessive.
|
(e)
|
You
have adequate means of providing for your current needs and personal
and
family contingencies and have no need for liquidity in your investment
in
the Securities.
|
(f)

You

Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the

investment.

residence.

(h)

You

as to be

acknowledge that this letter agreement does not contain all information
that is necessary to make an investment decision with respect to
the
Company and the Securities and that you must rely on your own examination
of the Company and the terms and conditions of this investment prior
to
making any investment decision with respect to the Securities.
|
(i)

You

from the Company and its executive officers concerning the business
and
operations of the Company and the terms, provisions, and conditions
of
this investment and to obtain any such additional information that
you
deem necessary or advisable in order to evaluate an investment in
the
Company; and you have availed yourself of such opportunity to the
extent
considered appropriate in order to evaluate the merits and risks
of the
proposed investment.
|
(j)
|
You
have made an independent evaluation of the merits of this investment
and
acknowledge the high risk nature of the
investment.
|
-2-
(k)
|
You
understand that none of the Securities have been registered under
the 1933
Act or any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions for private
offerings; the Securities cannot be resold or otherwise disposed
of unless
they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and applicable
state
securities laws or an exemption from registration is available. The
certificate(s) representing the Securities will bear a legend
substantially similar to the legend set forth immediately below until
(1)
such Securities shall have been registered under the 1933 Act and
effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement,
or
(2) in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
such
securities may be sold without registration under the 1933
Act:
|
“THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "1933 ACT"), OR THE "BLUE SKY" OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY
NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (i)
PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT WHICH HAS BECOME
EFFECTIVE AND IS CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, OR (ii) PURSUANT
TO A
SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT BUT ONLY UPON A HOLDER
THEREOF FIRST HAVING OBTAINED THE WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION IS CONSISTENT WITH
ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE 1933 ACT AS WELL AS ANY APPLICABLE "BLUE SKY"
OR SIMILAR SECURITIES LAWS."
(l)
|
You
understand that in the absence of registration by the Company, the
Securities will not be, and, except as set forth below, you will
have no
rights to require that the Securities shall be, registered under
the 1933
Act or any state securities laws; you may have to hold the Securities
indefinitely and it may not be possible for you to liquidate your
investment in the Company; and you should not purchase any Securities
unless you can afford a complete loss of your investment and bear
the
burden of such loss for an indefinite period of
time.
|
4.
|
Registration
Rights.
|
(a)
|
At
any time after the date hereof, in the event that the Company shall
determine to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a
registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the
proposed
initial public offer and sale of any of its Shares by it or by any
of its
security holders (other than a registration statement on Form X-0,
X-0 or
other successor or comparable forms), the Company, on one occasion
only,
will give written notice of its determination (the “Piggyback
Notice”)
to you at least forty-five (45) days prior to filing such registration
statement. Upon your written request within thirty (30) days after
the
giving of the Piggyback Notice, the Company will cause such Securities
to
be included in such registration statement, all to the extent required
to
permit the sale or other disposition by you of the Securities to
be so
registered; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company
from,
at any time, abandoning or delaying any such Company initiated
registration. If any registration pursuant to this Section 4 shall
be
underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require that the
Securities requested for inclusion pursuant to this Section 4 be
included
in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities
otherwise being sold through the underwriter(s). In the event that
in the
good faith judgment of the managing
underwriter of such public offering the inclusion of all of the Securities
originally covered by a request for registration pursuant to this
Section
4 would materially and adversely affect the successful marketing
of the
securities offered by the Company through a managing underwriter,
the
number of Securities otherwise to be included in the underwritten
public
offering may be reduced as required by the managing
underwriter,
the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling
security holders according to the total amount of securities entitled
to
be included therein owned by each selling security holder or in such
other
proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling security
holders.
|
-3-
(b)
|
All
fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to the registration of
the
Securities, shall be borne by the Company; provided,
however,
that you shall bear your share of the underwriting discount, if any,
and
commissions and transfer taxes, and any professional fees or costs
of
accounting, financial or legal advisors engaged by
you.
|
(c)
|
You
agree to execute any lock-up agreement signed by the Company’s executive
officers in connection with the registration
statement.
|
5.
|
Put.
If the registration statement relative to the Securities has not
been
declared effective within 12 months of the date of this letter agreement,
then you may, on 30 days’ notice to the Company, require the Company to
repurchase the Securities for a purchase price of
$75,000.
|
6. Miscellaneous.
(a)
|
This
letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the
parties hereto and their respective representatives, successors and
assigns.
|
(b)
|
No
provision of this letter agreement may be amended, modified, or waived,
except in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement
is
sought.
|
(c)
|
This
letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with,
the law of the State of Nevada applicable to agreements made and
to be
performed wholly therein. Any proceeding with respect to the construction
or enforcement of this letter agreement shall be brought in a state
or
federal court located in the Xxxxxx City or Las Vegas,
Nevada.

This letter agreement may be executed in
counterparts.
Sincerely,
Phoenix Aerospace, Inc.
