inspection by me and/or my investment advisors, if any, at the Company's place
of business.
(d) All assumptions and projections set forth in any documents provided by the
Company have been included therein for purposes of illustration only, and no
assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results
contemplated by the various assumptions set forth therein.
(e) TRO has had unsuccessful operating history. The proposed operations are
subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business
enterprise, including a limited operating history. The unlikelihood of the
success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with
the formation and operation of a new energy business and the competitive
environment in which the Company will operate.
7. RECEIPT OF ADVICE. I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult my own
attorney and investment advisor concerning the investment.
-27-
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. I acknowledge that the investment in the Company is
an illiquid investment. In particular, I recognize that:
(a) Due to restrictions described below, the lack of any market existing or to
exist for these Shares, in the event I should attempt to sell my Shares in the
Company, my investment will be highly illiquid and, probably must be held
indefinitely.
(b) I must bear the economic risk of investment in the Shares for an indefinite
period of time, since the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and issuance is made in reliance upon Section 4 of said
Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Act, as may be applicable.
Therefore, the Shares cannot be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or
hypothecated to any person unless either they are subsequently registered under
said Act or an exemption from such registration is available and the favorable
opinion of counsel for the Company to that effect is obtained, which is not
anticipated. Further, unless said Shares are registered with the securities
commission of the state in which offered and sold, I may not resell,
hypothecate, transfer, assign or make other disposition of said Shares except in
a transaction exempt or exempted from the registration requirement of the
securities act of such state, and that the specific approval of such sales by
the securities regulatory body of the state is required in some states.
(c) My right to transfer my Shares will also be restricted by the legend
endorsed on the certificates.
9. ACCESS TO INFORMATION. I represent and warrant to the Company that:
(a) I have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other
considerations relating to, the exchange of the Shares, including the risks of
total loss in the event the Company's business is unsuccessful.
(b) I and my investment advisors, if any, have been furnished all materials
relating to the Company and its proposed activities and anything which they have
requested and have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any additional
information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations about the
Company.
(c) The Company has answered all inquiries that I and my investment advisors, if
any, have put to it concerning the Company and its proposed activities and the
Plan and exchange for the Shares.
(d) Neither I nor my investment advisors, if any, have been furnished any
offering literature other than the documents attached as exhibits thereto and I
and my investment advisors, if any, have relied only on the information
contained in such exhibits and the information, as described in subparagraphs
(b) and (c) above, furnished or made available to them by the Company.
(e) I am acquiring the Shares for my own account, as principal, for investment
purposes only and NOT with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any
part of such Shares, and that I have no present intention, agreement or
-28-
arrangement to divide my participation with others or to resell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares subscribed for unless and
until I determine, at some future date, that changed circumstances, not in
contemplation at the time of this exchange, makes such disposition advisable;
(f) I, the undersigned, if on behalf of a corporation, partnership, trust, or
other form of business entity, affirm that: it is authorized and otherwise duly
qualified to purchase and hold Shares in the Company; recognize that the
information under the caption as set forth in (a) above related to investments
by an individual and does not address the federal income tax consequences of an
investment by any of the aforementioned entities and have obtained such
additional tax advice that I have deemed necessary; such entity has its
principal place of business as set forth below; and such entity has not been
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring Shares in the Company.
(g) I have adequate means of providing for my current needs and personal
contingencies and have no need for liquidity in this investment; and
(h) The information provided by the Company is confidential and non-public and I
agree that all such information shall be kept in confidence by it and neither
used by it to its personal benefit (other than in connection with its exchange
for the Shares) nor disclosed to any third party for any reason; provided,
however, that this obligation shall not apply to any such information which (i)
is part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible at the date
hereof; (ii) becomes part of the public knowledge or literature and readily
accessible by publication (except as a result of a breach of these provisions);
or (iii) is received from third parties (except those parties who disclose such
information in violation of any confidentiality agreements including, without
limitation, any Exchange Agreement they may have with the Company).
10. BINDING AGREEMENT. I hereby adopt, accept, and agree to be bound by all the

deciding in which of the above forms they should take ownership of the Shares,
since different forms of ownership can have varying gift tax and other
consequences, depending on the state of the investor's domicile and their
particular personal circumstances. For example, in community property states, if
community property assets are used to purchase shares held in individual
ownership, this might have adverse gift tax consequences. If OWNERSHIP IS BEING
