2. INVESTOR
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Investor represents and
warrants to the Company that:
a. Investment Purpose. The
Investor is purchasing the Units for its own account and not with a
present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof,
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration
under the 1933 Act.
1
b. Accredited Investor Status.
The Investor is a sophisticated investor (as described in Rule
506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D) and an accredited investor (as
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D). The Investor has been
represented by counsel and financial advisors of its choice in
connection with this Agreement. The Investor has such knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters that it has the
capacity to protect its own interests in connection with this
transaction and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Units and making an informed investment decision.
Investor acknowledges that an investment in the Securities pursuant
to this Agreement is speculative and involves a high degree of
risk. The Investor has adequate means of providing for the
Investor’s current financial needs and contingencies, is able
to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the
Units for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity
in such investment, and can afford a complete loss of such
investment. The Investor, if an individual, has adequate means of
providing for the Investor’s current needs and personal and
family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in its
investment in the Units. The Investor understands that the
following risk factors, among others, may affect the proposed
business activities of the Company: the Company has limited assets;
the Company has debts and loans outstanding; the Company expects to
incur operating losses and net losses for the near-term as it
incurs additional costs associated with implementing business
strategy and developing products and services for commercial use;
the Company intends to seek additional funding to support the
development of its products and services, working capital, and
capital expenditures; the limited experience of management in this
particular field of business; the Company does not have a specific
plan for the use of net proceeds of the funds it raises; the
Company may use proceeds of funding to pay outstanding liabilities;
the Investor will sustain an immediate and substantial dilution;
the Company’s intended business is evolving and intensely
competitive, and the Company expects competition to intensify in
the future; the Company may be dependent on forming strategic
alliances with other companies; the Company is dependent on
innovative research and development; the Company’s intended
business may be dependent on protection of proprietary technology
and there can be no assurance that the Company owns or will own any
technologies or will be able to protect such technologies; the
Company is dependent on the capabilities of third party systems and
third party advisors and consultants, including technical
personnel; the Company’s business is subject to system
failures and security breaches; the Company’s business may be
affected by changes in government regulation of the Internet; and
future advances in technology may make the Company’s proposed
business activities obsolete.
c. Reliance on Exemptions. .The
Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold
to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the
Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the
Securities.
d. Independent Investigation.
The Investor, in electing to subscribe for the Units, has conducted
its own independent investigation of the Company. The Investor has
carefully reviewed and understands the Company’s reports and
filings made with the SEC (the “SEC Documents”). The
Investor has had access to all the information necessary to make a
fully informed investment decision. The Investor has had the
opportunity to meet with representatives of the Company and to
speak to such representatives by telephone to ask such questions
and receive such other information about the Company as the
Investor might desire. The Investor represents that it has had an
opportunity to review all other documents, records, books and other
information pertaining to the Investor’s investment in the
Company that has been requested by the Investor, and has carefully
reviewed the information provided. The Investor has been given no
oral or written representations or assurances from the Company or
any representation of the Company other than as set forth in this
Agreement. The Investor understands that any forecasts, financial
or otherwise, contain forward-looking information. The Investor
understands that any forward-looking statements where prepared by
management in good faith, and represent the current views, beliefs
and expectations of the Company with respect to future events and
financial performance and are not guarantees of future performance.
The goals, objectives and general business strategies of the
Company are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions
that are difficult to predict, and therefore, actual results could
differ from any such forward-looking statements as a result of
factors which may not be within the Company’s
control.
e. Governmental Review. The
Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency
or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the
Securities.
2
f. Manner of Sale. The Investor
acknowledges that it is not purchasing the Units as a result of any
general solicitation or general advertising, including
advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published
in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or at any seminar media
or broadcast over radio or television or any seminar or meeting
whose attendees were invited by general solicitation or general
advertising.
g. Transfer or Resale. The
Investor understands that: (i) except as provided for herein, the
sale or re-sale of the Units, or any of the underlying securities,
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any
applicable state securities laws, and any of the Securities may not
be transferred unless (a) such securities are sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the
Investor shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel
that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the

pursuant to an exemption from such registration to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Company, (c) the securities are sold or
transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule
144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise
transfer the securities only in accordance with this Section 2(g)
and who is an accredited investor, or (d) the securities are sold
pursuant to Rule 144, and the Investor shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in corporate transactions
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company; (ii) any sale of
such the securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only
in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule
is not applicable, any re-sale of such the securities under
circumstances in which the Company (or the person through whom the
sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other
exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person
is under any obligation to file to register such the securities
under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with
the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case,
other than pursuant to the provisions herein).

understands that the Securities have not been registered under the
1933 Act, and until such time as the Securities may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction, the Securities will
bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and
a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates for such Securities):

performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and
(iii) except to the extent the indemnification and contribution

against public policy.
