-------------------------------------
c. Reliance on Exemptions. EAMC understands that the Common Stock are

the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities laws and that SABA and SPC are relying upon the truth and

and the Common Stock which have been requested by EAMC or its advisors.
EAMC and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to

successor rule); (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and
further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities
under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the
sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other
exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder; and (iii) neither SPC nor any other person is under any
obligation to register such Common Stock under the 1933 Act or any
state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder (in each case, other than as set forth in the
agreement).
g. Legends. EAMC understands that the Common Stock, until such time
as it shall have been registered under the 1933 Act as
contemplated herein, may bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following ------------- form (and a
stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates for such securities):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities have
been acquired for investment and may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the
absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under said
Act, or an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably
acceptable to SPC, that registration is not required under said Act or unless
sold pursuant to Rule 144 under said Act."
5. Certain Agreements to Register. SPC will file a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission within sixty (60) days of the

and Exchange Commission to accept the registration statement. EAMC will, as
a condition to the filing and the effectiveness of such registration
statement, furnish SPC with such information concerning EAMC's intention to
sell the Common Stock as SPC may reasonably request for inclusion in the
registration statement and will indemnify and hold each of SABA and SPC
