such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the "PURCHASE DATE").
3. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest
in such Securities except in compliance with applicable securities laws.
(b) Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Securities under
this Agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "SECURITIES ACT") or have been registered or qualified under the securities
laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon
the sale, pledge or other transfer of the Securities (including the placement of
appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer
instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are
necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act,
the securities laws of any state or any other law.

financial experience of Purchaser's financial advisor who is unaffiliated with
and who is not compensated, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any
affiliate or selling agent of the Company. Purchaser is capable of evaluating
the risks and merits of an investment in the Securities and of protecting

advertisement, radio or television advertisement or any other form of
advertising or general solicitation with respect to the sale of the Securities.

the Securities must be held indefinitely. Purchaser further acknowledges and
understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities.
