understanding, agreement or arrangement with any other person
to subsequently sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer to any person the Shares, or any portion thereof,
which assignment shall occur as a matter of law, or except as
disclosed to Purchaser by Seller; and
(ii) Seller and his assigns understand that neither
the Shares nor the sale thereof to it has been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
or under any state securities laws. Seller understands that no
registration statement has been filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, nor with any other
regulatory authority and that, as a result, any benefit which
might normally accrue to a holder of the Shares by an
impartial review of such a registration statement by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory
authority will not be forthcoming. Seller and his assigns
understand that they cannot sell the Shares unless such sale
is registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state
securities laws or exemptions from such registration become
available. In this connection, Seller understands that the
Purchaser has advised the Transfer Agent for the Common Shares
that the Shares are "restricted" as that term is defined under
Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act and that they may
not be transferred by Seller or its assigns to any person
without the prior consent of the Purchaser, which consent of
the Purchaser will require an opinion of counsel acceptable to
Purchaser to the effect that, in the event the Shares are not
registered under the 1933 Act, any transfer as may be proposed
by Seller must be entitled to an exemption from the
registration provisions of the 1933 Act. To this end, Seller
acknowledges that a legend to the following effect will be
placed upon any and all certificate(s) representing the Shares
and that the Transfer Agent has been advised of such facts:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND TRANSFER OF
THESE SECURITIES IS PROHIBITED OTHER THAN IN
ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR IF
3
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OR
IF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER IS
AVAILABLE, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH MUST BE
ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.
or such other legend as the Company and its transfer agent may
so require. Seller and his assigns understand that the
foregoing legend on its certificate for the Shares limits
their value, including their value as collateral.

this connection I understand that IFS has advised the Transfer Agent for the
