2. SUBSCRIBER REPRESENTATIONS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION;

(ii) PURCHASER is outside the United States
as of the date of the execution and delivery
of this Agreement.

Purchaser's Debentures for its own account
and not on behalf of any U.S. person, and
PURCHASER is the sole beneficial owner of

United States.
(iv) PURCHASER represents and warrants and
hereby agrees that all offers and sales of
the Debentures prior to the expiration of a
period commencing on the date of the receipt
of funds by the COMPANY and ending 40 days
thereafter shall only be made in compliance
with the safe harbor contained in Regulation
S, pursuant to the registration provisions
under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an
exemption from registration, and all offers
and sales after the expiration of the 40-day
period shall be made only pursuant to such
registration or to such exemption from
registration.
(v) PURCHASER acknowledges that the purchase
of the Debentures involves a high degree of
risk, is aware of the risks and further

relating to this offering and an opportunity to ask
questions of, and to receive answers from the COMPANY
or any person acting on its behalf concerning the
terms and conditions of this offering. PURCHASER and
its advisors, if any, have been furnished with access
to all publicly available materials relating to the
business, finances and operation of the COMPANY and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the
Debentures which have been requested. PURCHASER and
its advisors, if any, have received complete and
satisfactory answers to any such inquiries.

and issue one or more Debentures registered in such name or names
as specified
by PURCHASER and cause the same to be delivered to the Escrow
Agent. The
COMPANY'S transfer agent will be instructed to issue one or more
certificates
for the Shares without restrictive legend upon conversion of the
Purchaser's
Debentures in accordance with this Agreement, registered in the
name of the
holder of Purchaser's Debentures who converts any Purchaser's
Debentures or its

restriction or
instruction (other than these instructions and a "stop transfer"
restriction on

forty (40) day Restricted Period applicable under Regulation S)
will be imposed
by the COMPANY or given by the COMPANY to its transfer agent for

subsequent holder of the Debentures shall, in addition to any other
requirement
imposed by the terms of the Debentures, be required to complete,

consequential,
indirect, incidental or special damages), the COMPANY shall
reimburse PURCHASER
