of this Agreement throughout this Section 2.
2.01 AUTHORIZATION. The TRUCAT Stockholder has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations
hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation
of the TRUCAT Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms and
conditions. The TRUCAT Stockholder need not give any notice to, make any
filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent or approval of any
government, governmental agency, or other person in order to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement which have not been obtained.
2.02 NONCONTRAVENTION. Neither the execution and the delivery of
this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,

the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate,
modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any contract, lease, sublease,
license, sublicense, franchise, permit, indenture, agreement or mortgage for
borrowed money, instrument of indebtedness, security interest, or other
arrangement to which the TRUCAT Stockholder is a party or by which he is bound
or to which any of his assets are subject.
2.03 OWNERSHIP. The TRUCAT Stockholder holds of record and owns
beneficially the number of TRUCAT Shares set forth opposite his name as set
forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The TRUCAT Stockholder holds his TRUCAT
Shares free and clear of any restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions
under federal and state securities laws), claims, taxes, security interests,
options, warrants, rights, contracts, calls, commitments, equities and
demands. The TRUCAT Stockholder is not a party to any option, warrant,
contract, call, put or other agreement or commitment providing for the
disposition or acquisition of any capital stock of TRUCAT (other than this
Agreement). The TRUCAT Stockholder is not a party to any voting trust, proxy
or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of any capital
stock of TRUCAT.
2.04 SPECULATIVE NATURE AND RISK. The TRUCAT Stockholders each
understand and acknowledge the speculative nature of and substantial risk of
loss associated with an investment in the RealAmerica Shares which may be
subject to substantial dilution. The TRUCAT Stockholders each represent and
warrant that the RealAmerica Shares constitute an investment which is suitable
and consistent with their respective financial conditions and that they are
each able to bear the risks of this investment for an indefinite period of
time, which may include the total loss of their investment in RealAmerica. The
TRUCAT Stockholders each further represent that they have adequate means of
providing for their respective current financial needs and corporate and
personal contingencies and no need for liquidity in their investment in
RealAmerica and that they each have sufficient financial and business
experience to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in RealAmerica.
2.05 FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS. The TRUCAT Stockholders each
understand and acknowledge that the RealAmerica Shares have not been, and will
not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), or applicable state securities laws and the TRUCAT Stockholders are
each aware that no federal or state agency has made any review, finding or
determination regarding the terms of their acquisition of the RealAmerica
Shares nor any recommendation or endorsement of the RealAmerica Shares as an
investment, and the TRUCAT Stockholders must each forego the security, if any,
that such a review would provide.
2.06 ACQUISITION FOR OWN ACCOUNT. The TRUCAT Stockholders each
understand and acknowledge that the RealAmerica Shares are being offered and
sold under exemptions from registration provided by the Act and
exemptions provided by applicable state securities laws and the TRUCAT
Stockholders each warrant and represent that the RealAmerica Shares are being
acquired by them solely for their own account, for investment purposes only,
and not with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or
fractionalization thereof. The TRUCAT Stockholders each represent and warrant
that they have no agreement or other arrangement, formal or informal, with any
person to sell, transfer or pledge any part of the RealAmerica Shares or which
would guarantee them any profit or protect them against any loss with respect
to the RealAmerica Shares. Further, the TRUCAT Stockholders have no plans to
enter into any such agreement or arrangement, and, consequently, they must
each bear the economic risk of an investment in the RealAmerica Shares for an
indefinite period of time.
2.07 LIMITATIONS ON RESALE OR TRANSFER. The TRUCAT Stockholders each
understand and acknowledge that the RealAmerica Shares will be "restricted" as
defined in Rule 144 under the Act and that therefore they cannot offer to
sell, sell or otherwise transfer or distribute the RealAmerica Shares without
registration thereof, which RealAmerica is not obligated to do, under both the
Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption is, in
the opinion of RealAmerica's counsel, available to them under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws. Such exemption is not now available and it
is not anticipated that any such exemption will become available in the
future. The TRUCAT Stockholders each further understand and acknowledge that
the restrictions on the transfer of the RealAmerica Shares will be noted on
the books of RealAmerica and that the stock certificate representing the
RealAmerica Shares will bear a written legend setting forth the restriction on
the transferability of the RealAmerica Shares in substantially the following
form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE IN THE ABSENCE OF
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OF THEM UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.
