investment in the Stock for an indefinite period of time, can afford the loss of
the entire investment in the Stock, and will, after making an investment in the
Stock, have sufficient means of providing for such Purchaser's current needs and
possible future contingencies. Additionally, Purchaser's overall commitment to

registration under applicable securities acts or a proper exemption from such
registration.

amended. Purchaser is aware that there are substantial restrictions on the
transferability of the Stock.

investment. In making the decision to purchase the Stock herein agreed to,
Purchaser and such Purchaser's advisors have relied upon their own independent
investigations and fully understand that there are no guarantees, assurances or
promises in connection with any investment hereunder, and understand that the
particular tax consequences arising from this investment in WDTI will depend
upon the individual circumstances of Purchaser.

harmless Purchaser from and against, and shall reimburse Purchaser with respect
to, all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively the "Losses")
asserted against or incurred by the Purchaser by reason of, arising out of, or
in connection with any material breach of any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement made by the Company or in any document or
certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby.

reasonably be expected to be a conflict of interest if such Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party have common counsel in any such proceeding, or if the
Indemnified Party has not assumed the defense of the action or proceedings, then
such Indemnifying Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend such
Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Party. No settlement of any such
claim or payment in connection with any such settlement shall be made without

thereof to any persons or entities or circumstances shall, to any extent, be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Note shall not be deemed
affected thereby and every provision of this Note shall be valid and enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. NO PARTNER. Payee shall not become or be deemed to be a partner or

herein shall constitute Maker and Payee as partners or joint venturers or
require Payee to participate in or be responsible or liable for any costs,
liabilities, expenses or losses of Maker.
