Tek, which by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement the Purchaser hereby
confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired
for investment for the Purchaser's own account (or the account of a wholly-owned
subsidiary thereof), not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further
represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Securities. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Securities.

representatives has had an opportunity to discuss the business, management and
financial affairs of the Company and Tek, and the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities, with the Company's management and with Tek's

facilities. The Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as the
other written information delivered by the Company and Tek to the Purchaser,

limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company or Tek in
Section 2 of this Agreement, or the right of the Purchaser to rely thereon.

The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Securities and Exchange
Commission nor any state or foreign securities commission has approved the
Securities or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement or confirmed the accuracy or determined
the adequacy of the Agreements. The Agreements have not been reviewed by any
other Federal, state, foreign or other regulatory authority. The Purchaser
acknowledges that all documents, records and books pertaining to investment in
the Securities (including, without limitation, the Agreements) have been made
available for inspection by him, his attorney, accountant, purchaser
representative or tax advisor (collectively, the "advisors"). In evaluating the
suitability of an investment in the Company and Tek, the Purchaser has not

as stated in the Agreements or as contained in documents or answers to questions
so furnished to the Purchaser or his advisors and other representatives by the
Company and Tek.
3.4 RESTRICTED SHARES. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have
not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide investment intent and the
accuracy of the Purchaser's representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser
understands that the Securities are "restricted securities" under applicable
U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the
Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an
exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company and Tek have no obligation to
register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Purchaser further
acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is
available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not
limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities,
and on requirements relating to the Company and Tek which are outside of the
Purchaser's control, and which the Company or Tek is under no obligation and may
not be able to satisfy.

exists for any of the Shares issued or the Common Stock to be issued by the
Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will
ever exist for such securities.

Securities and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the
Securities, may bear one or all of the following legends:

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT
WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH
SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment contemplated by this Agreement
and has the capacity to protect its own interest. The Purchaser acknowledges
that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and involves a high
and substantial degree of risk of loss of the Purchaser's entire investment. The
Purchaser has adequate means of providing for current and anticipated financial
needs and contingencies, is able to bear the economic risk of its investment for
an indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidation of its investment
in the Securities and could afford complete loss of its investment in the
Securities.

or representation, qualification, designation, declaration or filings within the
United States with any federal, state or local governmental authority on the
part of the Purchaser is required in connection with the Purchaser's execution,

organized under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its formation and
has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the
terms of the Agreements. Each Purchaser which is an individual has full capacity
and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms of the Agreements.

any Purchaser(s) cause the redemption of any of the Shares in accordance with
the terms of the Certificate of Designations, on or before its receipt of the
Shares subject to redemption it shall transfer to or on behalf of the redeeming
Purchaser(s) that number of Tek Shares as shall be necessary to satisfy the
redemption provisions of the Certificate of Designations, all of which Shares
shall be fully paid and non-assessable shares of Tek common stock, $.0001 par
VALUE; PROVIDED, that neither Tek nor the Company shall be required to
consummate the redemption of Shares in the absence of the redeeming Purchaser(s)
executing and delivering to the Company and Tek prior to the delivery of any Tek
Shares to the redeeming Purchaser(s) in connection therewith all such
representations, acknowledgments and other agreements as may be reasonably
necessary, as determined by counsel to Tek or the Company, for compliance with

To Purchasers:
To the addresses set forth on Annex 1
7.7 ATTORNEY'S FEES. If any action at law or in equity (including
arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of any of the
Agreements, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's
fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which
such party may be entitled.
7.8 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and
the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with
the
12
written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the
Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.8
shall be binding upon the Purchasers and each transferee of any of the
Securities, each future holder thereof, and the Company.
7.09 SEVERABILITY. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to
be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such
provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually
agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (b) the balance of the
Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the
balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
7.10 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power
or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default
of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or
remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed
to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of
or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver
of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or
default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or
approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or
default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any
provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be
effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All
remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any
party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
7.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, and the documents referred to herein
constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the
subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements relating
to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties hereto are expressly
canceled.
7.12 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party hereto shall execute such other and
further certificates, instruments and other documents as may be necessary and
proper to implement, complete and perfect the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
