Shares set forth on the signature page hereof, on the terms and conditions
described herein.
2. CERTAIN ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE INVESTOR. The Investor
acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) All documents pertaining to the investment in the Shares have been
made available for inspection by the Investor, and the books and
records of the Company will be available, upon reasonable notice, for
inspection by the Investor during reasonable business hours at the
Company's principal place of business.

(c) The issuance of the Shares was made only through direct, personal
communication between the Investor and an authorized representative

(d) The Investor agrees not to sell nor attempt to sell all or any part
of the Shares allocated to the Investor unless the offer and sale of
such Shares have first been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and all applicable state
securities laws, or the undersigned furnishes, at the option of the
Company, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel and knowledgeable as to the securities matters stating that
exemptions from such registration requirements are available and that
the proposed sale is not, and will not place the Company or any
affiliate thereof, in violation of any applicable Federal or state
securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder.
(e) The certificate evidencing Shares shall bear a legend substantially
as follows:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER
JURISDICTION. AS A PREREQUISITE TO ANY TRANSFER OF SHARES WITHOUT
SUCH REGISTRATION, THE CORPORATION MAY REQUIRE THAT IT BE FURNISHED
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
TRANSFER DOES NOT REQUIRE SUCH REGISTRATION.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTOR. The Investor understands
that the Shares are being sold in reliance upon the exemptions provided in
the Securities Act and/or Regulation D thereunder, together with
exemptions provided under applicable state securities laws, for
transactions involving limited offers and sales, and the Investor, for
himself and for his heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns, makes the following representations, declarations and warranties
with the intention that the same may be relied on by the Company in
determining the suitability of the Investor as an investor in the Company:
(a) The Investor has consulted his attorney, accountant or investment
advisor with respect to the investment contemplated hereby and its
suitability for the Investor. The undersigned has received no
representations or warranties from the Company or its officers,
directors, employees or agents, or any other person, and, in making
an investment decision, the Investor is relying solely on independent
investigations made by the Investor or representative(s) of the
Investor.
(b) The Investor has read and fully understands that certain Information
Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 25, 2000.
(c) The Company has made available to the Investor, during the course of
this transaction and prior to the purchase of any of the Shares, the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company
or any of its representatives concerning the Company, and to obtain
any additional information relative to the financial condition and
business of the Company, to the extent that such parties possess such
information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.
All such questions, if asked, have been answered satisfactorily, and
all such documents, if requested, have been received and found to be
fully satisfactory. In connection therewith, the Investor is not
relying on any documents, records or other information, except that
contained in written form and signed by the President of the Company.
(d) The Investor understands and acknowledges that: (i) while the Company
has an operating history, the purchase of Shares by the Investor
involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor's entire
investment, and there is no assurance of any income from such
investment; (ii) the Investor must bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Shares for an indefinite period because the offer
and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws and are being offered and sold in
reliance upon exemptions provided in the Securities Act and state
securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering
and, therefore, cannot be resold or transferred unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
laws, or unless an exemption from such registration is available;
(iii) there may not be a public market for the Shares in the future;
(iv) the Investor is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes
only for the Investor's account and not for the benefit of any other
person or with any view toward the resale or distribution thereof;
(v) because there are substantial restrictions on the transferability
of the Shares, it may not be possible for the Investor to liquidate
an investment therein readily in case of an emergency; and (vi) the
Investor has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with
any person to sell, transfer or pledge to such person or anyone else
any of the Shares which the Investor hereby subscribes to purchase or
any part thereof, and the Investor has no present plans to enter into
any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement.
(e) The undersigned is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The net worth,
annual income and total assets, as the case may be, of the Investor
and the other information set forth in Section 6 are true, correct
and complete in all material respects. Any information which the
Investor has heretofore furnished to the Company with respect to the
Investor is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement,
and if there should be any material change in such information prior
to the purchase of Shares, the Investor will immediately furnish such
revised or corrected information to the Company.
(f) The Investor is at least 21 years of age, is knowledgeable and
experienced in evaluating investments and is experienced in financial
and business matters and he has evaluated the risks of investing in
the Shares, and has determined that the Shares are a suitable
investment for him. The Investor has adequate net worth and means of
providing for his current needs and possible personal contingencies
and has no need, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future,
to sell the Shares the purchase of which is subscribed. The Investor
can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and has a
sufficient net worth to sustain a complete loss of his investment.
The aggregate amount of the investments of the Investor in, and his
commitments to, all similar investments that are illiquid is
reasonable in relation to his net worth.
(g) The Investor maintains his domicile, and is not merely a transient or
temporary resident, at the residence address shown on the signature

the Investor as a purchaser of Shares, and shall survive their
purchase. In addition, the Investor undertakes to notify the Company
immediately of any change in any representation or warranty of the
Investor set forth herein.
4. INDEMNIFICATION. The Investor understands that the offer and sale of
Shares to him is being made, and the sale of Shares will be made, in
reliance upon the acknowledgments and agreements of the Investor set forth
in Section 2 and the representations and warranties of the Investor set
forth in Section 3. The Investor agrees to provide, if requested, any
additional information that may reasonably be required to determine the
eligibility of the Investor to purchase Shares. The Investor hereby
agrees to indemnify the Company and its affiliates, agents, attorneys and
representatives and to hold each of them harmless, from and against all
claims, losses, damages or liability, including costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees (collectively, "Claims"), that may arise in connection
with, due to or as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty,
acknowledgement or agreement of the Investor contained in this Agreement
or in any other document provided by the Investor to the Company in
connection with the Investor's offer to purchase Shares. The Investor

attorneys and representatives and to hold each of them harmless, from and
against all Claims that may arise in connection with, due to or as a
result of the sale or distribution of Shares by the Investor in violation
of the Securities Act or other applicable law. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement, the Investor does not waive any rights
granted to him under applicable securities laws. The Investor agrees that
the affiliates, agents, attorneys and representatives of the Company are
intended third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement for the purposes of
the indemnification provided above.
