BY HIS OR HER ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THOSE SECURITIES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION, (2) AGREES THAT HE OR SHE WILL NOT WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THOSE SECURITIES RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THOSE SECURITIES EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (C) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE) AND (3) AGREES THAT HE OR SHE WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THOSE SECURITIES ARE TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THOSE SECURITIES WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THOSE SECURITIES, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT. THOSE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE HEDGED (SOLD IN SHORT SELLING TRANSACTION) EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

(f) During the term of restriction of such common stock, the legend and stop transfer instructions described in paragraph (d), subparagraph (iii) above will be placed on any new certificate(s) or other documents for transfer. (g) Shares of Buyer that are issued as payment for the Acquisition as set forth above shall carry Piggy Back Rights, and as such, shall be registered in the next registration statement filed with the SEC to become registered, free trading shares. SECTION 2.02. BUYER ACTION. (a) The Buyer hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents that its Board of Directors, at a meeting duly called and held, has resolved to recommend the Offer. The Seller hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents that its Board of Directors, at a meeting duly called and held, has resolved to recommend acceptance of the Offer by the holders of Shares.

SECTION 2.05. ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. The number and kind of securities purchased by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this section. (a) In the event that the Seller shall at any time after this Agreement is consummated (i) declare and pay a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue, change, or alter any of its shares of capital stock in a reclassification or recapitalization (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Seller is the continuing or surviving Person), in each such case, the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of any of the above shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Buyer shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock so that Buyer maintains its twenty percent (20%) ownership of Seller. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.
