no present intention of dividing Xxxxxxxxxx'x
participation with others or reselling or otherwise
participating, directly or indirectly, in a
distribution thereof, and not with a view to or for
sale in connection with any distribution thereof,
except pursuant to a registration statement under the

Act"), and any applicable state securities laws, or a
transaction exempt from registration thereunder, and

of the Shares in violation of any applicable state
securities laws, including in each instance any
applicable rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, or in violation of the Securities Act or
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
2.2 No Registration. Xxxxxxxxxx acknowledges that the
Shares are not being registered under any state
securities laws, and are not being registered under the
Securities Act on the ground that this transaction is
exempt from registration under Section 3(b) and/or 4(2)
of the Securities Act, and that reliance by PESI on
such exemptions is predicated in part on Xxxxxxxxxx'x
representations set forth herein.
2.3 Restricted Transfer. Xxxxxxxxxx agrees that PESI may
refuse to permit the sale, transfer or disposition of
any of the Shares received by Xxxxxxxxxx unless there
is in effect a registration statement under the Secur-
ities Act and any applicable state securities law
covering such transfer or Xxxxxxxxxx furnishes an
opinion of counsel or other evidence, reasonably
satisfactory to counsel for PESI, to the effect that
such registration is not required.
2.4 Legend. Xxxxxxxxxx understands and agrees that stop
transfer instructions will be given to PESI's transfer
agent and that there will be placed on the certificate
or certificates for any of the Shares received by
Xxxxxxxxxx, any substitutions therefor and any certif-
icates for any additional shares which might be dis-
tributed with respect to such Shares, a legend stating
in substance:
"The shares of stock evidenced by this
certificate have been acquired for investment
and have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Secur-
ities Act"). These shares may not be sold or
transferred except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws unless
there is furnished to the issuer an opinion of
counsel or other evidence, reasonably satis-
factory to the issuer's counsel, to the effect
that such registration is not required."
2.5 Indefinite Holding Period. Xxxxxxxxxx understands that
under the Securities Act, the Shares received by
Xxxxxxxxxx must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or
unless an exemption from such registration is available
with respect to any proposed transfer or disposition of
such shares.
2.6 Rule 144 Compliance. Xxxxxxxxxx understands that PESI
is required to file periodic reports with the SEC and
that certain sales of the Shares received by Xxxxxxxxxx
may be exempt from registration under the Securities
Act by virtue of Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under
the Securities Act, provided that such sales are made
in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of
that Rule including compliance with the required two-
year holding period. Xxxxxxxxxx further understands
that if Rule 144 is not available for sales of the
Shares received by Xxxxxxxxxx, such Shares may not be
sold without registration under the Securities Act or
compliance with some other exemption from such
registration, and that PESI has no obligation to
register the Shares received by Xxxxxxxxxx or take any
other action necessary in order to make compliance with
an exemption from registration available.
2.7 Sophisticated Investor. Xxxxxxxxxx, as President and
Chairman of the Board of PESI, possesses extensive
knowledge as to the business and operation of PESI and
