Rule 902(k) of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, that the
Investor resides outside of the United States, and that the Investor has
accurately completed the accredited investor questionnaire set forth as

States or with a U.S. Person, and are not part of a plan or scheme to evade

Resale
Limitations.
Investor understands that the Securities have not been, and will not upon
issuance be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

Act”),
and further understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” as such
term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and may be resold without
registration under the Act and the applicable rules and regulations under
the
Act, only in very limited circumstances. In this connection, Investor represents
that it is familiar with the terms and provisions of Regulation S (including
Rule 903 and Rule 904 promulgated under the Securities Act) and Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands
the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Investor
further agrees that all offers and sales of the Securities prior to the
expiration of the one year distribution compliance period shall be made in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Securities Act including
without
limitation Rules 144, 903 and 904 promulgated under the Securities Act, pursuant
to a registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, or pursuant
to an
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
Neither the undersigned nor or any person acting on its behalf has engaged,
nor
will engage, in any directed selling efforts to U.S. Persons with respect
to the
Shares and the undersigned and any person acting on its behalf have complied
and
will comply with the "offering restrictions" requirements of Regulation S
under
the Securities Act.

Securities prior to the expiration of the one-year distribution compliance

Restrictive
Legends.
Investor further understands that the certificates evidencing the Securities
shall bear one or more of the following legends:
“These
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended
(the “Act”).
They
may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence
of a
registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under the
Act
unless an opinion of counsel to the Company is delivered to the effect that
such
registration is not required or that the securities are being sold pursuant
to
Rule 144 of the Act and therefore this legend should be removed.”
“Transfer
of these securities is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions
of
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available
exemption from registration. Hedging transactions involving these securities
may
not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act.”
“These
securities are subject to the provisions of that certain Subscription Agreement
and Promissory Note between the Company and the original holder hereof, and
may
not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated unless permitted under
such documents.”
Any
legend required by the securities laws of any applicable
jurisdictions.
Acquisition
for Own Account.
Investor hereby confirms that the Securities will be acquired for investment
for
Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, not for the benefit or the account
of a U.S. Person, and that Investor does not have any present intention of
selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing any such
Securities. Investor further represents that Investor does not have any
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer, encumber, pledge, hypothecate or grant participations to such person
or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

the purchase of the Securities or passed on the adequacy or accuracy of the
information set forth in this Agreement. Investor acknowledges that it has
not
seen, received, been presented with, or been solicited by any leaflet, public
promotional meeting, newspaper or magazine article or advertisement, radio
or
television advertisement, or any other form of advertising or general
solicitation with respect to the sale of the Securities.
4.2 General
Representations and Warranties.
Organization.
If Investor is an entity, Investor is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all requisite
power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.
Validity.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the other
documents and instruments referred to herein, in each case to which Investor
is
a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have
been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Investor. This Agreement
and each other Transaction Document have been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Investor and assuming their due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Company constitute a valid and binding obligation of Investor,
enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of each Transaction
Document, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
transfer, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating
to or affecting creditors' rights generally and the rights of creditors of
insurance companies generally.
Disclosure
of Information.
Investor acknowledges that it has received or has had the opportunity to
review
all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether
to purchase the Securities. Investor further represents that it has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding

properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. Investor further
acknowledges that it has been advised to, and has, carefully reviewed the
Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investment
Experience.
Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage
and
acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk
of
its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business
matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment in the Securities. If the Investor is an entity, Investor represents
that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
Acknowledgment
of Risk.
Investor understands the risks involved in investing in the Company and
represents that it can bear the full loss of its investment in the
Company.
Tax
Consequences.
Investor is aware that there can be no assurance regarding the federal, state
or
local tax consequences of an investment in the Company, nor can there be
any
assurance that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder or other
applicable laws and regulations will not be amended at some future time in
such
manner as to deprive the Company and its stockholders of any tax benefits
that
might be received. In making this investment, Investor is relying upon the
advice of its personal tax advisor with respect to the tax aspects of an
investment in the Company and not on the Company or any agent
thereof.
4
Tax
Allocation.
Investor understands that taxable income and gain allocated to the Investor
by
the Company and the tax on the portion thereof allocated to the Investor
for any
year may exceed the cash distributions from the Company to the Investor and,
if
so, the Investor will have to look to sources other than distributions from
the
Company to pay such tax.
Brokers.
There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or other
Person
which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Investor
who
might be entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be
liable
in connection with the execution of this Agreement.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER THAT MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO LIQUIDATE
THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY. THESE RISK FACTORS ARE NOT, AND ARE NOT
MEANT
TO BE, COMPLETE. INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH
THE INVESTMENT, AND SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE COMPANY’S FILINGS WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

covenant by such Investor pursuant to this Agreement.
Claims
Notice.

Party”)
it shall deliver written notice (a “Claims
Notice”)
to the applicable Investor (the “Indemnifying
Party”),
specifying the facts constituting the basis for, and the amount (if known)

the claim asserted.

Party Claims.
Upon making any indemnification payment, the Indemnifying Party will, to

provided, however, that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment
of its
Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third
party
on account of the payment are hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected
in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party.
Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the Indemnified
Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments
reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation
and
subordination rights.
8
(a) Right
to Contest Claims of Third Parties.
(i) If
an Indemnified Party asserts, or may in the future seek to assert, a claim
for
indemnification hereunder because of any action, cause of action or suit
brought
by any Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third
Party Claimant”)
that may result in a Loss with respect to which the Indemnified Party would
be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.3 (an “Asserted
Liability”),
the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claims Notice
with respect thereto, which Claims Notice shall, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.2 hereof, be delivered as promptly as practicable
after
an action in connection with such Asserted Liability is commenced against
the
Indemnified Party.
(ii) The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified
Party, to investigate, contest, defend or settle any Asserted Liability that
may
result in a Loss with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled
to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.3; provided that (A) the counsel
for
the Indemnifying Party who conducts the defense of such claim or litigation
is
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (B) the Indemnified
Party
may, at its option and at its own expense, participate in the investigation,
contesting, defense or settlement of any such Asserted Liability through
representatives and counsel of its own choosing (it being understood that
the
Indemnifying Party shall bear the cost of such counsel if the Indemnified
Party
in good faith determines that it may have one or more defenses or counterclaims
that are inconsistent with one or more of those of the Indemnifying Party
in
respect of the Asserted Liability); and, provided further, that the Indemnifying
Party shall not settle any Asserted Liability unless (i) such settlement
is on
exclusively monetary terms and provides as an unconditional term an immediate
release of the Indemnified Party for all liability with respect to such Asserted
Liability or (ii) the Indemnified Party has consented to the terms of such
settlement. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
will,
at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with
reasonable requests of the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting
any
Asserted Liability, including, if appropriate and related to the Asserted
Liability in question, in making any counterclaim against the Third Party
Claimant, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnified
Party or its Affiliates). If the Indemnifying Party fails to undertake the
defense of the Asserted Liability reasonably promptly, the Indemnified Party
may, at its option and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to do so in such
manner as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party
shall not settle or compromise any Asserted Liability for which it seeks
indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii) The
Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of any
Asserted Liability that it has not elected to defend with its own counsel
and at
its own expense.
(iv) The
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall make mutually available
to
each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any Asserted
Liability (except to the extent that such action would result in a loss of
attorney-client privilege or would violate any applicable law) and shall
cooperate with each other in the defense thereof.
9
(e) No
Duplication; Sole Remedy.
(i) Any
liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication
of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability
constituting a breach of more than one representation or warranty.
(ii) The
parties’ respective rights to indemnification provided for in this Section 8.3
shall be the exclusive remedy for any Losses for which indemnification is
provided hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
prevent an Indemnified Party from pursuing remedies that may be available
to
such party under applicable law in the event of an Indemnifying Party’s failure
to comply with its indemnification obligations under this Section 8.3 or
in the
case of fraud.
8.4 Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

this
Agreement shall survive the Closing until two (2) years after the Closing
Date,
provided that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1,
4.2,
5.2, and 5.3 shall survive indefinitely.
8.5 No
Implied Waivers.
No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided
by
law.
8.6 Successors
and Assigns.

PROMISSORY
NOTE
AND
PLEDGE AGREEMENT
May
,
2007
_______________
residing at ________________________ (the “Maker”) promises to pay the principal
amount of $_____________ (the “Principal Amount”) to the order of Home System
Group (the “Payee”), a Nevada corporation, upon the earlier to occur of: (i) two
years from the date of this Note; or (ii) within five business days of written
notification from the Payee that a registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed by the
Payee with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the
shares of Payee’s Common Stock was declared effective by the SEC (the “Maturity
Date”).
By
Maker's execution and delivery of this Promissory Note and Pledge Agreement
(the
“Note”) and Payee's acceptance of thereof, Maker and Payee acknowledge and agree
that the proceeds of this Note to Maker shall be used to finance the Maker's
purchase of ___________ shares of the Payee's common stock, par value $.001
per
share (the “Shares”) pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated the date hereof
(the “Subscription Agreement”).
The
rights, duties and obligations of (a) Maker under this Note may not be assigned
without the prior consent of Payee and (b) Payee under this Note may be assigned
without the prior consent of Maker.
In
order
to secure (i) the due and punctual payment of all monetary obligations hereunder
of Maker to Payee and any reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, all legal fees and expenses) of collection or enforcement of
any
such obligations and (ii) the due and punctual payment of any costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the realization of the security for which this
Note
provides and any reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to,
all legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any proceedings
to
which this Note may give rise (collectively referred to herein as
“Liabilities”), Maker hereby transfers, assigns, grants, bestows, sells, conveys
and pledges to Payee a first security interest in the Collateral (as herein
defined), which security interest shall remain in full force and effect until
all of the Liabilities shall have been paid in full to Payee, or until this
Note
is cancelled as set forth herein.
For
purposes of this Note, “Collateral” shall mean all of Maker's right, title and
interest in and to the Shares, represented by the stock certificate to be
issued
to the Payee in connection with the execution of this Note, and all proceeds
and
products thereof (as the foregoing terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of New York).
14
Concurrently
with the Maker's execution and delivery of this Note, Maker has (a) duly
executed in blank a stock power required by the pledge of the Collateral
hereunder; (b) delivered the stock certificate representing the Collateral
to
the Payee to be held by the Payee pending the payment in full of this Note;
and
(c) irrevocably appointed Payee as Maker's attorney-in-fact to complete the
stock power to realize upon the Collateral upon nonpayment of principal or
interest under this Note, with such appointment being coupled with an
interest.
This
Note
may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty or at any time
and
from time to time at the option of the Maker. Contemporaneously with Maker's
final payment of all amounts due under this Note, the original copy shall
be
marked “Paid in Full” and signed by Payee, and the cancelled original copy of
the Note and all Collateral shall be returned by Payee to Maker.
Except
as
contemplated by this Note, Maker shall not encumber or grant a security interest
in any of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of Payee, and
Maker
hereby represents that he has not done so heretofore and, other than the
grant
of the security interest contemplated hereby, the Collateral pledged by him
hereunder is, and will be, owned by him free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
In
the
event the Maker defaults in the payment of this Note, the Payee shall give
written notice of such default to the Maker. In the event the Maker does
not pay
all outstanding principal due within five business days of his receipt of
such
notice, Payee may thereupon proceed against the Maker to collect the Principal
Amount.
If
the
Maker does not pay the Principal Amount to the Payee within such five business
day period, then Payee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, either
(i) sell for the account of the Maker any and all of the Shares in the Payee's
discretion in such quantities or lots as may seem best to the Payee, at which
sale or sales the maker may bid and purchase, or (ii) return such shares
to
treasury. After first applying the proceeds of the sale to the payment of
the
expenses of sale, the Payee shall then apply the proceeds to the satisfaction
of
this Note, and thereafter may pay any surplus and deliver any unsold Shares
to
the Maker. In the event that Payee is prohibited by applicable law from selling
the Shares, Payee shall be entitled to retain a sufficient number of Shares
such
that the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares retained by
Payee
hereunder times the officially reported market closing price for comparable
Shares on the date this remedy is exercised shall be equal to the balance
due
hereunder. Thereupon, all obligations between the Maker and Payee under this
Note and Pledge Agreement shall cease. In the event that the sale of the
full
amount of Shares does not generate sufficient funds to retire this Note and
satisfy Maker's obligations hereunder, or in the event that the Maker is
prohibited from selling such Shares and retains the Shares as provided herein,
the Maker will be responsible for the balance of the Principal Amount
due.
15
This
Note
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the
State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions
thereof.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has executed and delivered this Note and Pledge Agreement
as of the date first above written.
