INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
ACQUIRER: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
ISSUER: Water Petroleum & Environmental Technologies Company
SECURITY: Common Stock, par value $.0001
QUANTITY: 7,008,895 Shares
In connection with the acquisition of the above-listed Securities of
the Company, I, the purchaser represent to the Company the following:
(1) INVESTMENT. I am aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition. I am acquiring the Securities for investment for my own
account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (as
Amended). These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by
reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends on, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.
In this connection I understand that, in view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if
my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of
the Securities or for the period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future.
(2) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER UNDER SECURITIES ACT. I further
acknowledge and understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless
they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption
from such registration is available. Moreover, I understand that the Company is
under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I understand that
the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or unless
the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company that such registration is not required.
(3) SALES UNDER RULE 144. I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the
SEC promulgated under the Securities Act, which in substance permits limited
public resale of securities acquired in a non- public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (i) the availability of certain
current public information about the Company, (ii) the resale being made through
a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly
with a " market maker," and (iv) the amount of securities sold during any
three-month period not exceeding specified limitations (generally 1% of the
total shares outstanding).
(4) LIMITATIONS ON RULE 144. I further acknowledge and understand that
the Company is not now, and at any time I wish to sell the Securities may not
be, satisfying the public information requirement of Rule 144, and, in such
case, I would be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if
the minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(5) SALES NOT UNDER RULE 144. I further acknowledge that, if all the
requirements of Rule 144 are not met, then Regulation A, or some other
registration exemption will be required; and that,
23
although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the Commission has expressed
its opinion (i) that persons proposing to sell private placement securities
other than in a registered offering or exemption from registration is available
for such offers or sales, and (ii) that such persons and the brokers who
participate in the transactions do so their own risk.
(6) STOP TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS. I further understand that stop transfer
instructions will be in effect with respect to the transfer of the Securities
consistent with the above.
(7) ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In addition, I represent
and warrant:
(i) That I have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from, the Company ( or any person acting on
its behalf) concerning the Company and my proposed acquisition
of the Securities;
(ii) That I have concluded that I have sufficient information
upon which to base my decision to acquire the Securities;
(iii) That I have made my own determination of the value of
the Securities and have not relied upon any statements,
representations or warranties of the Company regarding the
value of the Securities or the business prospects of the
Company;
(iv) That I understand that in acquiring the Securities, I am
making a highly speculative investment with the knowledge that
the Company is in the initial stages of development;
(v) That I am capable of bearing the economic risk and burdens
of the investment, the possibility of complete loss of all of
the investment, and the possible inability to readily
liquidate the investment due to the lack of public market; and
(vi) That I understand that, in selling and transferring the
Securities, the Company had relied upon an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and that, in
an attempt to effect compliance with all the conditions of
such exemption, the Company is relying in good faith upon all
of my foregoing representations and warranties.
