(a) Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the Convertible
Debentures and, upon conversion of Convertible Debentures, the Buyer will
acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable, for its own account for investment
only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public
sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted
under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations
herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any
time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement
covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.
(b) Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an "Accredited Investor"
as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Convertible
Debentures are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and
such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer
to acquire such securities.
(d) Information. Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel),
if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business,
finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed material to
making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Convertible
Debentures and the Conversion Shares, which have been requested by such Buyer.
Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to
rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3
below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Convertible Debentures
and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a
position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as
it has considered necessary to make
3
an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares.
(e) No Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Convertible
Debentures or the Conversion Shares, or the fairness or suitability of the
investment in the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares.
(f) Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that except as provided
in the Investor Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Convertible Debentures

delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form,
to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be

under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule 144") may be made only
in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 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 the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions
against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.
(g) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other
instruments representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop
transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT

Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or (ii) in connection with a
sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public
sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares may be made without
registration under the 1933 Act.
(h) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a
valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its

jurisdiction.

Company shall within two (2) business days instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by
the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations

Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyer(s)
