7.       RESALE RESTRICTIONS AND SHARE CERTIFICATE LEGENDS

                                       5


     7.1      The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Issuer is a registered
              reporting issuer in the United States, but is not a "reporting
              issuer" in any foreign jurisdiction.

     7.2      The Subscriber is acknowledges that although there are no legal
              restrictions on the transferability of the Shares, the subscriber
              must register the Shares or have an exemption from registration
              before the Subscriber may publicly resell the Shares in the United
              States. The Issuer may refuse to register transfer of the Shares
              in the absence of compliance with Rule 144 unless the undersigned
              furnishes the issuer with a "no-action" or interpretative letter
              from the SEC or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
              issuer stating that the transfer is proper; further, unless such
              letter or opinion states that the Shares are free of any
              restrictions under the 1933 Act, the issuer may refuse to transfer
              the Shares to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to
              the issuer the same representations and agree to the same
              conditions with respect to such Shares as are set forth herein.
              The issuer may also refuse to transfer the Shares if any
              circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the
              transferee's representations are not accurate.

     7.3      The criteria that must be met in order to make public resales of
              the Shares within the U.S. are set forth specifically in Rule 144
              promulgated under the 1933 Act. After one year from the later of
              the date the Shares are acquired from the Issuer or an affiliate
              of the Issuer and the full purchase price or other consideration
              is paid, all as calculated in accordance with rule 144(d), sales
              of the Shares in reliance on rule 144 can only be made in limited
              amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule.
              After two years from the date the Shares are fully paid for, as
              calculated in accordance with rule 144(d), it can generally be
              sold without meeting these conditions provided the holder is not
              (and has not been for the preceding three months) an affiliate of
              the issuer.

     7.4      The Issuer has no obligation to file a prospectus qualifying the
              distribution of the Shares in any jurisdiction where the Offering
              is made and has no intention to do so, except as it may be
              required to file a registration statement covering the public
              resale of the Shares within the United States upon the request of
              51% of the subscribers to the Offering, under the terms of the
              Registration Rights agreement between the Issuer and the Placement
              Agents for the benefit of the Subscribers to the Offering.

     7.5      The foregoing is a summary only and is not intended to be
              exhaustive. Subscribers are advised to consult with their own
              advisors concerning the particular nature of the restrictions on
              transfer, the extent of the applicable holding period and the
              possibilities of utilizing any further Exemptions or the obtaining
              of a discretionary order to transfer any Shares. Accordingly,
              Subscribers are further advised against attempting to resell or
              transfer any Shares until they have determined that any such
              resale or transfer is in compliance with the requirements of all
              applicable securities laws, including but not limited to the
              filing with the appropriate regulatory authority of initial trade
              and other reports required upon any resale of Shares.

     7.6      The Issuer will place a legend on the certificates representing
              the Shares as may be required under applicable securities laws, or
              as it may otherwise deem necessary or advisable.
