The undersigned has received no representations or warranties from the Company or its officers, directors, employees or agents, or any other person, and, in making an investment decision, the Investor is relying solely on independent investigations made by the Investor or representative(s) of the Investor. (b) The Investor has read and fully understands that certain Information Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2000. (c) The Company has made available to the Investor, during the course of this transaction and prior to the purchase of any of the Shares, the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company or any of its representatives concerning the Company, and to obtain any additional information relative to the financial condition and business of the Company, to the extent that such parties possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense. All such questions, if asked, have been answered satisfactorily, and all such documents, if requested, have been received and found to be fully satisfactory. In connection therewith, the Investor is not relying on any documents, records or other information, except that contained in written form and signed by the President of the Company. (d) The Investor understands and acknowledges that: (i) while the Company has an operating history, the purchase of Shares by the Investor involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor's entire investment, and there is no assurance of any income from such investment; (ii) the Investor must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period because the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and are being offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions provided in the Securities Act and state securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering and, therefore, cannot be resold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state laws, or unless an exemption from such registration is available; (iii) there may not be a public market for the Shares in the future; (iv) the Investor is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes only for the Investor's account and not for the benefit of any other person or with any view toward the resale or distribution thereof; (v) because there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares, it may not be possible for the Investor to liquidate an investment therein readily in case of an emergency; and (vi) the Investor has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to such person or anyone else any of the Shares which the Investor hereby subscribes to purchase or any part thereof, and the Investor has no present plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement. (e) The undersigned is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The net worth, annual income and total assets, as the case may be, of the Investor and the other information set forth in Section 6 are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

The Investor can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a complete loss of his investment. The aggregate amount of the investments of the Investor in, and his commitments to, all similar investments that are illiquid is reasonable in relation to his net worth.
