APPENDIX A
INVESTMENT LETTER
October 19th, 2006
The African Diamond Company, Inc.
Dear Sir:
In connection with the purchase of 16,000,000 shares of the common stock
(the "Shares") of The African Diamond Company, Inc. (the "Corporation") by
the undersigned (the "Purchasers") pursuant to a share purchase agreement
dated the 19th day of October 2006 (the "Share Purchase Agreement"), the
undersigned (the "Purchaser"), hereby makes the following acknowledgments,
representations and warranties:
1. Investment Intent. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for
investment solely for its clients account and not with a present view to
any distribution, transfer or resale to others, including any
"distribution" within the meaning of Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
(the "Securities Act"). The Purchaser understands that the Shares have
not and will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act, the availability of which depends on, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of my
representations made herein.
2. Financial Ability. The Purchaser is financially able to bear
the economic risks of an investment in the Corporation and has no need for
liquidity in this investment. Furthermore, the financial capacity of the
Purchaser is of such a proportion that the total cost of the Purchaser's
commitment is not material when compared with his total committed capital.
The Purchaser is financially able to suffer a complete loss of this
investment.
3. Experience. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters in general and with respect to investments
of a nature similar to that evidenced by the Shares so as to be capable,
by reason of such knowledge and experience, of evaluating the merits and
risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, and
protecting his own interests in connection with, the acquisition of the
Shares.
4. Review of Prospectus and Financial Statements. The Purchaser
has been provided with and had the opportunity to review all filings made
by the Corporation with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, as disclosed in the Share Purchase Agreement and available at
the SEC's web site at xxx.xxx.xxx.
5. Limited Public Market. The Purchaser understands that a
limited public market now exists for any of the securities of the
Corporation and that the Corporation has made no assurances that a more
active public market will ever exist for the Corporation's securities.
6. Restricted Legend. The Purchaser acknowledges that certificates
representing the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT
BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE SO REGISTERED OR, IN THE
OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION, SUCH
TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.
7. Stock Transfer. The Purchaser is aware that stop-transfer
instructions will be given to the transfer agent of the common stock of
the Corporation to prevent any unauthorized or illegal transfer of the
Shares.
8. Reliance for Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the
Shares are being transferred to him pursuant to exemptions from the
registration requirements of federal and applicable state securities laws
and acknowledges that he is relying upon the investment and other
representations made herein as the basis for such exemptions.
9. Accuracy of Purchaser Representations. The Purchaser represents
that the information and representations contained in this letter are
true, correct and complete.
