applicable state statutes. HYFS and DRV agree that such transactions shall
be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes which depend, among
other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are
acquired.
(a) In order to provide documentation for reliance upon exemptions from
the registration and prospectus delivery requirements for such
transactions, the signing of this Agreement and the delivery of
appropriate separate representations shall constitute the parties
acceptance of, and concurrence in, the following representations and
warranties:

securities commission of any state or other federal agency has
made any determination as to the merits of acquiring HYFS
Common Stock, and that this transaction involves certain
risks.
(ii) DRV Stockholders have such knowledge and experience in
business and financial matters that they are capable of
evaluating such business risks.

Common Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred,
or otherwise disposed of for value unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. HYFS is not
under any obligation to register the HYFS Common Stock under
the Securities Act except as stated in this Agreement.
The certificates representing the HYFS Common Stock will
bear a legend in substantially the following form so
restricting the sale of such securities:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" WITHIN THE MEANING
OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES
HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(b) In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement,
HYFS shall file, with the assistance of its legal counsel, such
notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may be
deemed by it to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document
reliance on such exemptions, and with the appropriate regulatory
authority in the states where the DRV Stockholders reside unless an
exemption requiring no filing is available in such jurisdictions,
all to the extent and in the manner as may be deemed by HYFS to be
appropriate.
(c) The DRV Stockholders acknowledge that the basis for relying on
exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual,
depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal
opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect
that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from
registration or qualification.
7.6 Securities Filings. HYFS shall be responsible for the preparation and
filing of any required forms, or documents, deemed necessary by HYFS and
its legal counsel, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in any
jurisdiction which would require a filing with a governmental agency as a
result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
7.7 Sales of Securities Under Rule 144, If Applicable.
(a) HYFS will use its best efforts to at all times satisfy the current
public information requirements of rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act so that its stockholders can sell restricted
securities that have been held for one year or more or such other
restricted period as required by rule 144 as it is from time to time
amended.
(b) Upon being informed in writing by any person holding restricted
stock of HYFS as of the date of this Agreement that such person
intends to sell any shares under rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (including any rule adopted in substitution or
replacement thereof), HYFS will certify in writing to such person
that it is in compliance with rule 144 current public information
requirements to enable such person to sell such person's restricted
stock under rule 144, as may be applicable under the circumstances.
(c) If any certificate representing any such restricted stock is
presented to HYFS's transfer agent for registration or transfer in
connection with any sales theretofore made under rule 144, provided
such certificate is duly endorsed for transfer by the appropriate
person(s) or accompanied by a separate stock power duly executed by
the appropriate person(s) in each case with reasonable assurances
that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and is accompanied
by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to HYFS and its counsel that
such transfer has complied with the requirements of rule 144, as the
case may be, HYFS will use its best efforts to cooperate with the
shareholder and/or transfer agent with the registration or transfer
in connection with any sales made under rule 144.
