Seller in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will constitute a violation or breach of the
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Bylaws, as amended, of
Seller, or any agreement, stipulation, order, writ, injunction,
decree, law, rule or regulation applicable to Seller.
4. PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (hereafter referred to as the "Securities
Act"), in reliance upon exemptions contained in the
Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act in particular, Section 4(1) under the Securities Act; and
(ii) the Shares are not freely tradable and must be held by
Purchaser indefinitely or until such time, if any, as the
Shares are either registered under the Securities Act or
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from such
registration under the Securities Act or under the Rules and
Regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser represents that
he understands the restrictions on his ability to transfer
the Shares.
Purchaser hereby represents that the shares are not being acquired
with a view to any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities
Act, or any other applicable laws of the United States or any state

held for the Purchaser's own account.
Purchaser understands that the Seller is a principal shareholder of

the Seller relating to the future potential, if any, of ORA. In making
his decision to purchase the Shares, the Purchaser has relied solely
upon his own independent investigation.

shares of ORA Common Stock in a bona fide arms-length transaction,
after giving the Purchaser a written right of first refusal for a
period of ten (10) days. If the Purchaser has agreed in writing to
purchase the ORA Common Stock within such ten (10) day period, he
