PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of October 31,
2000 by and between Pegasus Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Pegasus") and Global Enterprise Technology Solutions, LLC, an Arizona
limited liability company ("GETS"), and Enterprise Hospitality Solutions,
Inc., an Arizona corporation, ("EHS") and Rivadalla Family Trust,
("Rivadalla Trust") (EHS and Rivadalla Trust are collectively referred to
as the "Members"), and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx ("Rivadalla"). Pegasus, GETS,
Rivadalla and the Members are sometimes referred to herein collectively as
the "Parties" or individually as a "Party".
RECITALS
A. Whereas, the Members own 100% of GETS;
B. Whereas, Pegasus wishes and intends to purchase from the Members,
and the Members wish to sell to Pegasus, all right, title and interest in
GETS pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises
herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements and understandings herein contained, the Parties agree
as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Transaction Terms
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Interest in GETS. Pegasus agrees to purchase
and acquire from the Members and the Members agree to sell, transfer,
assign, convey and deliver to Pegasus at the Initial Closing, all right,
title and interest in and to twenty percent (20%) ownership interest in
GETS, ("Initial Membership Interest"). For the Initial Membership Interest,
Pegasus agrees to pay the Members $2 Million in cash and to deliver to the
Members the number of shares of Pegasus common stock that equal $3 Million
based on the average per share closing sale price of the Pegasus common
stock for the five (5) market trading days preceding the date that is three
(3) days before the date of the Initial Closing (the "Closing Price"). The
Pegasus common stock issued to the Members at the Initial Closing will be
unregistered and no ownership, interest or rights in the stock may be sold,
transferred or conveyed by the Members for a period of one year from the
date of issuance.
1.2 Future Options to Purchase Interests in GETS.
(a) In addition to the Initial Membership Interest, the Members
hereby grant to Pegasus the right exercisable at any time before the first
anniversary date of the Initial Closing to purchase an additional twenty
percent (20%) interest in GETS (referred to as the "First Option") at the
First Option Closing, resulting in an aggregate ownership of GETS by Pegasus
totaling forty percent (40%). Upon the exercise of the First Option,
Pegasus will deliver to the Members, within 30 days after notice of the
exercise of the First Option, $2 Million cash and shares of Pegasus common
stock that equal $3 Million based on the Closing Price, provided that the
value of the Pegasus common stock paid at the date of the closing of the
First Option shall not be less than $3 Million and shall not exceed
$5,250,000, determined by the following formula: (a) the number of shares
issued at the Initial Closing, increased as follows: (b) if the average per
share closing sales price of the Pegasus common stock for the five (5)
market trading days preceding the date that is three (3) days before the
date of the First Option Closing (the "First Option Closing Price") is less
than the Closing Price, the number of shares issued at the First Option
Closing shall be increased so that the product of the number of shares
issued at the First Option Closing multiplied by the First Option Closing
Price equals $3 Million; and decreased as follows: (c) if the First Option
Closing Price is greater than the Closing Price, and the product of the
number of shares issued at the Initial Closing multiplied by the First
Option Closing Price equals more than $5,250,000, the number of shares
issued at the First Option Closing shall be decreased so that the product of
the number of shares issued at the First Option Closing multiplied by the
First Option Closing Price equals $5,250,000.
(b) In addition to the Initial Membership Interest and the
interest purchased at the First Option Closing, the Members hereby grant to
Pegasus the right, exercisable at any time after (or simultaneously with)
the First Option and before the second anniversary date of the Initial
Closing to purchase the final sixty percent (60%) interest in GETS (referred
to as the "Second Option") at the Second Option Closing, resulting in
Pegasus owning a one hundred percent (100%) interest in GETS. Upon the
exercise of the Second Option, Pegasus will deliver to the Members, within
30 days after notice of the exercise of the Second Option, $4 Million cash
and shares of the Pegasus common stock that equal $6 Million based on the
Closing Price, provided that the value of the Pegasus common stock paid at
the date of the closing of the Second Option shall not be less than $6
Million and shall not exceed $10,500,000, determined by the following
formula: (a) the number of shares issued at the Closing, increased as
follows: (b) if the average per share closing price of the Pegasus common
stock for the five (5) market trading days preceding the date that is thee
(3) days before the date of the Second Option Closing (the "Second Option
Closing Price") is less than the Closing Price, the number of shares issued
at the Second Option Closing shall be increased so that the product of the
number of shares issued at the Second Option Closing multiplied by the
Second Option Closing Price equals $6,000,000; and decreased as follows: (c)
if the Second Option Closing Price is greater than the Closing Price, and
the product of the number of shares issued at the Initial Closing multiplied
by the Second Option Closing Price equals more than $10,500,000, the number
of shares issued at the Second Option Closing multiplied by the Second
Option Closing Price equals $10,500,000.
(c) The First Option and Second Option are collectively referred
to as the "Options". Each Option is exercisable at any time before the
expiration of such Option, provided however that the Second Option must be
exercised after, or simultaneously with, the First Option. The closing of
any of the Options are each individually referred to as a "Subsequent
Closing". Pegasus will have the right upon the exercise of any Option to
deliver cash equal to all or a portion of the value of Pegasus common stock
in lieu of Pegasus common stock.
1.3 Initial Closing. The Initial Closing shall take place on or before
October 31, 2000, at 10:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time ("Initial Closing Date")
at the Dallas offices of Pegasus, or at such other time and place as the
Parties may mutually agree upon (which time and place are referred to in
this Agreement as the "Initial Closing").

Members shall deliver to Pegasus: (i) a certificate of ownership in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4.1 representing the Initial Membership
Interest purchased by Pegasus; (ii) a fully executed Software Development

of the Member Representative representing the number of Pegasus shares of

referred to in Article 3.
1.5 Deliveries at Any Subsequent Closing.

purchase an additional twenty percent (20%) interest in GETS, Pegasus will
deliver to the Member Representative for the benefit of the Members, within
30 days after notice of the exercise of the First Option, (i) $2 Million
cash by check or wire transfer and (ii) a certificate in the name of the
Member Representative representing the number of shares of Pegasus common
stock required by Section 1.2(a).. Upon the exercise of the First Option,

2.26 Members' Representations Regarding Pegasus Stock. The Members
hereby represent and warrant to Pegasus that:
(a) The Members understand and acknowledge that the
Pegasus common stock, provided at the Initial Closing and Pegasus common
stock provided upon any subsequent exercise of an Option, will not be
registered under the Securities Act nor qualified under the securities law
of Texas or any other state or Governmental Entity, by virtue of exemptions
thereto. Each of the Members (either alone or in conjunction with his or her
professional advisers) has such experience and knowledge in investment,
financial and business matters in investments similar to the stock of the
Pegasus that they are capable of protecting their own interest in connection
therewith and qualifying for such exemptions. Further, the Members are
acquiring the Pegasus common stock and any Pegasus common stock obtained
through any subsequent exercise of an Option for investment purposes only
for Members' own account, and not on behalf of any other person nor with a
view to, or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof; and
(b) The Members have had access to pertinent SEC
filings of Pegasus and received and reviewed to their satisfaction such
documents and corporate and financial records of Pegasus, and have had
answered all questions with regard thereto that such Seller deemed necessary
or appropriate to evaluate the business, operations and assets of Pegasus
and the value of its common stock. The Members are relying solely on their
own evaluation and analysis in determining the value of the Pegasus common
stock and any Pegasus common stock obtained through any subsequent exercise
of an Option and not on any representation of value or worth made by
Pegasus.
2.27 Further Limitations on Disposition of Pegasus Common Stock.
Without in any way limiting the representations set forth in Section 2.26
above, Members further agree not to make any disposition of all or any
portion of the Pegasus common stock unless and until:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement;
(b) Such Member shall have notified Pegasus of the proposed
disposition, shall have furnished Pegasus with a statement of circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of such Member or
its transferee, shall have furnished Pegasus with an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to Pegasus, that such disposition will not require
registration of such securities under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such
registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any
transfer of any Pegasus common stock in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or Rule
144A; or (ii) for any transfer of any Pegasus common stock by a Member that
is a partnership or a corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership or a
Member of such corporation, (B) a retired partner of such partnership who
retires after the date hereof, (C) the estate of any such partner or Member,
or (iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by an
Investor to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any
trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in each of the foregoing cases
the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of Section 2.27
to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Member hereunder.
(c) It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Pegasus
common stock will bear the legends set forth below:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS
ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD
EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS
SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS
OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF
THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND
SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED
TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NO OWNERSHIP,
INTERESTS OR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR CONVEYED FOR A PERIOD OF ONE
YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ISSUANCE.
The legend set forth above shall be removed by Pegasus from any certificate
evidencing Pegasus common stock upon deliver to Pegasus of an opinion by
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Pegasus, that a registration statement
under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the
legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a
public sale without such a registration statement being in effect and that
such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from
registration pursuant to which Pegasus issued the Pegasus common stock.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c)
above, Pegasus acknowledges that the Members have disclosed to Pegasus the
intention of the Members to gift, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all
or part of the Pegasus shares, cash, or other securities and consideration
payable to the Members under this Agreement, and all proceeds thereof (the
"Pegasus Consideration"), subject to the restrictions on the Pegasus common
stock set forth in this Agreement, to one or more "Permitted Transferees",
which shall be defined as a member of holder's immediate family, trust for
the benefit of such immediate family members, and partnerships in which the
holder and such immediate family members are the only partners. A holder's
immediate family includes a spouse, children or more remote descendants
(including stepchildren and adopted children) and parents. Pegasus hereby
consents to the gift, sale, transfer or other disposition by the Members to
the Permitted Transferees of the Pegasus Consideration, subject to the
restrictions on the Pegasus common stock set forth in this Agreement as
permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

available to each of the parties hereto, each such party shall be entitled

(unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefore under

Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its

Article 8).
7.3 Covenant Not to Compete. Recognizing GETS's, the Members' and

customer lists, business methods and confidential information, and as a
material inducement to Pegasus to enter into this Agreement, GETS, the
Members and Rivadalla make the following agreements: The parties
acknowledge that the covenants under this Section are dependent upon
performance by Pegasus of its obligations under this Agreement.

five (5) years from and after the Initial Closing Date and the exercise of
the Second Option, GETS, GETS Affiliates or the Members will not directly or
indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as
partner, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services
for, or in any other manner engage in any property management system or
application service provider business within the hospitality industry
without the prior written approval of Pegasus; provided that Section 7.3(a)
will expire in the event that Pegasus elects not to exercise any Option; and
(ii) GETS and the Members acknowledge that GETS's business has been
conducted on an international scale, and that the geographic restrictions
set forth above are reasonable and necessary to protect the interests of
Pegasus pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Other than as set forth in this Agreement, for a period of
five (5) years from and after the Initial Closing Date and the exercise of
the Second Option, GETS, GETS Affiliates or the Members will not directly or

to leave their employ, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
GETS or Pegasus and any employee thereof, or (b) call on, solicit or service
any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of
GETS or Pegasus in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease
doing business with GETS or Pegasus, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation
and GETS or Pegasus, provided that this paragraph will expire if Pegasus
fails to exercise any Option.
7.4 Assignment of Membership Interests Acquired by Pegasus.
(a) During the term of this Agreement, Pegasus shall
not transfer, assign , sell or otherwise convey its Initial Membership
Interest and/or the membership interest purchased upon the exercise of the
First Option, if any, except as expressly provided in Section 7.4(b) below
or for a conveyance of such interests, in whole or in part, to (i) an entity
resulting from a merger, acquisition or other business combination involving
Pegasus or (ii) an entity that acquires all or substantially all of Pegasus'
assets.
(b) During the term of this Agreement or in the event
this Agreement is terminated, Pegasus shall have the right to transfer,
assign, sell or otherwise convey its Initial Membership Interest and the
membership interest purchased upon the exercise of the First Option, if any,
in whole or in part to (i) a third party unrelated to Pegasus, (ii) an
entity in which Pegasus has an interest or a Pegasus affiliate, or (iii) a
person or entity that agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of
this Agreement; provided that, in the event Pegasus intends to transfer,
assign, sell or otherwise convey such interest as provided in (i) through
(iii) above, Pegasus shall provide Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in his capacity as
Member Representative with written notice of its intent to transfer, assign,
sell or otherwise convey such interest and the identity of the one or more
proposed parties and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in his capacity as Member
Representative will have thirty (30) days from receipt of each such notice
to make a written offer and complete the purchase of the interest from
Pegasus on mutually agreed terms. Pegasus may accept or reject any offer
made by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in his capacity as Member Representative in its
sole discretion. In the event Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in his capacity as Member
Representative does not purchase such interest within thirty (30) days of
receipt of notice of intent to sell from Pegasus, Pegasus shall have the
right to freely transfer, assign, sell or otherwise convey such interest to
any third party.
(c) To the extent that the terms of this Section 7.4
contradict the terms of the GETS Operating Agreement then in place, then
this Section shall control any transactions contemplated herein and no
further action or approval will be required by the then-existing members of
GETS.
7.5 Consents. Pegasus shall receive duly executed copies in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Pegasus of the consents in the form
attached as Exhibit 7.5, including the consents to assign all necessary
agreements from EHS to GETS and the consent necessary to approve the

ARTICLE 8
Indemnification
8.1 Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Pegasus. Subject to the
terms of Section 8.3, in the event GETS, the Members or Rivadalla breaches
any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this
Agreement, or if any claim is made by a third party, and, if there is an
applicable survival period pursuant to Section 10.1, then GETS and the
Members agree to indemnify Pegasus from and against the entirety of any
actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints,
claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages,
dues, penalties, fines, costs, reasonable amounts paid in settlement,
liabilities, obligations, taxes, liens, losses, expenses, and fees,
including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, Pegasus
shall suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification
caused by such claim.
8.2 Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of GETS and the Members.
Subject to the terms of Section 8.3, in the event Pegasus breaches any of
its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement,
or if any claim is made by a third party (including without limitation a
customer of Pegasus alleging damages arising after the Initial Closing Date
or before the exercise or expiration of the Options), and, if there is an
applicable survival period pursuant to Section 10.1, then Pegasus agrees to
indemnify GETS and the Members from and against the entirety of any actions,

suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification caused by
such claim including reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses.
8.3 Procedure for Matters Involving Third Parties.
(a) The party from whom indemnification is sought is
referred to as the "Indemnifying Party", and the Party who is seeking
indemnification under this Article is referred to as the "Indemnified
Party". If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party with respect
to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for
indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8, then
the Indemnified Party shall promptly issue a Claim Notice to the
Indemnifying Party with respect thereto.
(b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time
to assume thereafter conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with
counsel of the Indemnifying Party's choice reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, and at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense;
provided, however, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be
withheld unreasonably).
(c) Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 8.3(b), the
Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner the
Indemnifying Party reasonably may deem appropriate.
(d) In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not
to be unreasonably withheld).
8.4 Notice of Claim. A Party suffering consequences that gives or
could give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 8 shall
promptly notify each other Party thereof in writing (a "Claim Notice") in
accordance with Section 10.3. The Claim Notice shall contain a brief
description of the nature of the claim and, if practicable, an aggregate
dollar value estimate of the claim. No delay in the issuance of a Claim
Notice shall relieve any Party from any obligation under this Article 8,
unless and solely to the extent such Party is thereby prejudiced.
8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Pegasus, GETS and the Members acknowledge and
agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article 8 shall
be the exclusive remedy of Pegasus, GETS and the Members with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, but not with respect to any alleged
violations of this Agreement as it relates to Section 5.9 [Confidential
Information] and Section 7.3 [Covenant Not To Compete].

10.5 Waiver; Amendment. A waiver of any default, breach or non-
compliance under this Agreement is not effective unless in writing and

from or implied by any failure to act or delay in acting by a party in
respect of any default, breach or non-observance or by anything done or
omitted to be done by the other party. The waiver by a party of any
default, breach or non-compliance under this Agreement shall not operate as
a waiver of that party's rights under this Agreement in respect of any
continuing or subsequent default, breach or non-observance (whether of the
same or any other nature). No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by all of the parties
hereto. No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any
interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify or amend any

be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their

without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.
10.7 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.
10.8 Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement
in all respects.
10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the schedules hereto, the
Company Ancillary Agreements and the Pegasus Ancillary Agreements and the
exhibits thereto and other documents referred to herein contain the complete
agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements,

Investment Representation Letter of Enterprise Hospitality Solutions, Inc.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement among Pegasus Solutions, Inc.
(the "Company"), Enterprise Hospitality Solutions, Inc. ("Purchaser"),
Global Enterprise Technology Solutions, LLC, the Rivadalla Family Trust and
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and the receipt by Purchaser and Rivadalla Family Trust
of securities of the Company (the "Securities") by Purchaser described
therein, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:
(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the
Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Securities. Purchaser is acquiring these Securities for investment for
Purchaser's 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 (the "Securities Act").
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Securities
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not
been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific
exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of Purchaser's investment intent as expressed herein.
Purchaser further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser further
acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Securities. Purchaser understands that the certificate
evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits
the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registra-
tion is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
and any other legend required under then applicable state or federal
securities laws.
(c) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and
Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance,
permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly
or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the
issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the issuance of the
Securities to the Purchaser, the exercise will be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") ninety (90) days thereafter (or
such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the
Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction
of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the
resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction"
or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined
under the Exchange Act); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the
availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount
of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the
limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form
144, if applicable.
In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the
time of issuance of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold
in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144,
which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the
later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date
the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the
meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities
by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately
above.
(d) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration
under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A under the Securities
Act, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that,
notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a
registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will
have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from
registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons
and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at
their own risk. Purchaser understands that no assurances can be given that
any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
