reliance on such exemption is predicated on his representations set forth

fend for himself in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of

to such information as would be made available in the form of a registration
statement together with such additional information as is necessary to verify
the accuracy of the information supplied and to have all questions which have
been asked answered by the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, Investor
acknowledges that he is the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of
Directors and a principal shareholder of the Company and is fully aware of all
information relevant to the business and financial condition of the Company.
(e) Investor understands that if a
registration statement covering the Shares under the Act is not in effect when
he desires to sell any of the Shares, he may be required to hold such Shares for
an indeterminate period. He also acknowledges that he understands that any sale
of the Shares which might be made by him in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act
may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions
of that Rule.
