a U.S. Person. At the time of the origination of contact concerning
this Agreement and the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each Non-U.S. Shareholder was outside of the United States. Each
certificate representing the Exchange Shares shall be endorsed with the
following legends, in addition to any other legend required to be placed thereon
by applicable federal or state securities laws:
“THE
SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED TO INVESTORS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED
IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“SECURITIES ACT”))
AND WITHOUT REGISTRATION WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S PROMULGATED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”
“TRANSFER

EXHIBIT A
(d) Each
ASEC Shareholder who is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation
S (each a “U.S.
Shareholder”) understands that the Exchange Shares are not registered
under the Securities Act and that the issuance thereof to such ASEC Shareholder
is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation
D”). Each U.S. Shareholder represents and warrants that he is
an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D or,
if not an accredited investor, that such ASEC Shareholder otherwise meets the
suitability requirements of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
(“Section
4(2)”). Each
U.S. Shareholder agrees to provide documentation to Famous Al’s prior to Closing
as may be requested by Famous Al’s to confirm compliance with Regulation D
and/or Section 4(2), including, without limitation, a letter of investment
intent or similar representation letter and a completed investor
questionnaire. Each
certificate representing the Exchange Shares issued to such ASEC Shareholder
shall be endorsed with the following legends, in addition to any other legend
required to be placed thereon by applicable federal or state securities
laws:
“THIS
SECURITY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS.”
“TRANSFER
OF THESE SECURITIES IS PROHIBITED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITY SHALL THEN BE IN EFFECT AND SUCH
TRANSFER HAS BEEN QUALIFIED UNDER ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY”
LAWS, OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM SHALL BE AVAILABLE UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH
LAWS.”
(e) Each
ASEC Shareholder acknowledges that neither the SEC, nor the securities
regulatory body of any state or other jurisdiction, has received, considered or
passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the information and representations made
in this Agreement.
(f)
Each ASEC Shareholder acknowledges that he has
carefully reviewed such information as he has deemed necessary to evaluate an
investment in Famous Al’s and its securities, and with respect to each U.S.
Shareholder, that all information required to be disclosed to such ASEC
Shareholder under Regulation D has been furnished to such ASEC Shareholder by
Famous Al’s. To the full satisfaction of each ASEC Shareholder, he
has been furnished all materials that he has requested relating to Famous Al’s
and the issuance of the Exchange Shares hereunder, and each ASEC Shareholder has
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Famous Al’s representatives to
obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations
or information made or given to the ASEC
Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
derogate from or otherwise modify the representations and warranties of Famous
Al’s set forth in this Agreement, on which each of the ASEC Shareholders have
relied in making an exchange of his ASEC shares for the Exchange
Shares.
(g) Each
ASEC Shareholder understands that the Exchange Shares may not be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities
Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the Exchange Shares or any available exemption
from registration under the Securities Act, the Exchange Shares may have to be
held indefinitely. Each ASEC Shareholder further acknowledges that
the Exchange Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are satisfied
(including, without limitation, Famous Al’s compliance with the reporting
requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
Act”)).

EXHIBIT

(h) The
ASEC Shareholder agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the warranties, representations, agreements and covenants of the ASEC
Shareholder under this Section 3.06 shall survive the Closing.
Section
3.07 Additional Legend;
Consent. Additionally, the Exchange Shares will bear any legend required
by the “blue sky” laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to
the securities represented by the certificate so legended. Each of the ASEC
Shareholders consents to Famous Al’s making a notation on its records or giving
instructions to any transfer agent of Exchange Shares in order to implement the
restrictions on transfer of the Exchange Shares.
