with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), and the rules and interpretive releases promulgated thereunder. None
of such Buyer SEC Reports, including without limitation any financial
statements, notes, or schedules included therein, at the time filed,

statements, to normal yearend audit adjustments) in each case in accordance
with generally-accepted accounting principles applicable to the particular
entity consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as may be
noted therein; and independent certified public accountants for Buyer have
rendered or will render an unqualified opinion with respect to each audited
financial statement included in the Buyer SEC Reports. The consolidated
financial statements included in the Buyer SEC Reports are hereinafter
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Buyer Financial Statements."
7.4 Consents and Approvals: No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by Buyer nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby nor compliance by Buyer with any of the provisions hereof will conflict
with or result in any breach of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation
or by-laws of Buyer or any Subsidiary, require any consent, approval,
authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental
Authority, except pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, such
filings and approvals as may be required under the "blue sky", takeover or
securities laws of various states, or result in a default (with or without due
notice or lapse of time or both) (or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, license, agreement or other
instrument or obligation to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, may be bound, or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge or other encumbrance on the assets of
Buyer or violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to Buyer or any of its respective assets.
7.5 Litigation. Etc. Except as disclosed in the Buyer SEC Reports there is no
action, claim, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer,
threatened, to which Buyer is or would be a party before any court or
Governmental Authority acting in an adjudicative capacity or any arbitrator
or arbitration tribunal with respect to which there is a reasonable
likelihood of a determination having, or which, insofar as reasonably can be
foreseen in the future would have, a material adverse effect on Buyer and
since December 31, 1999, there have been no claims made or actions or
proceedings brought against any officer or director of Buyer arising out of
or pertaining to any action or omission within the scope of his employment or
position with Buyer, which claim, action or proceeding would involve a
material adverse effect on Buyer taken as a whole. All material litigation
and other material administrative, judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings to
which Buyer is a party or to which it has been threatened to be made a party
are described in the Buyer SEC Reports.
7.6 Compliance with Law and Permits. Buyer has owned and operated its properties
and assets in substantial compliance with the provisions and requirements of all
laws, orders, regulations, rules and ordinances issued or promulgated by all
Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction with respect thereto. All necessary
governmental certificates, consents, permits, licenses or other authorizations
with regard to the ownership or operation by Buyer of their respective
properties and assets have been obtained and no violation exists in respect of
such licenses, permits or authorizations. None of the documents and materials
filed with or furnished to any Governmental Authority with respect to the
properties, assets or businesses of Buyer contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or fails to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading.

ARTICLE 13. COSTS
13.1 Finder's or Broker's Fees. Each of the parties represents and warrants that

these transactions.
13.2 Expenses. Each of the parties shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or
to be incurred by it in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in closing

ARTICLE 14. SECURITIES ASPECTS OF AGREEMENT
14.1 All parties to this Agreement mutually understand, agree and covenant that
any referenced sale or other disposition of any security under this Agreement
shall be controlled and governed by this section. Specifically should there
arise any conflict of application or interpretation under this section and any
other provision or section of this Agreement; this section shall be given
primary definition and control. The term "securities" for the purposes of this
Agreement shall mean and include all shares of Chequemate, and any warrants to
acquire those shares as well as any other instrument or obligation customary or
commonly described as a security. Each of the following terms and conditions of
the issuance and distribution of the securities shall be fully applicable unless
otherwise specifically waived or treated in the following paragraphs.
14.2 Each security issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be a
"restricted" security unless otherwise specifically referenced as being issued
pursuant to a registration or offering.
14.3 Seller understands and agrees that a restricted security for the purposes
of this Agreement is one, which is issued without meeting registration
requirements under both federal and state law within the United States. Each
party to this Agreement further agrees and acknowledges that the nature of
restricted security is that it is not freely tradable. That is, the holder of
such security cannot immediately market or further distribute such security in
the open market, or through private transactions without the express written
consent of the issuer, primarily Chequemate under the terms of this Agreement.
14.4 Any entity acquiring securities pursuant to this Agreement with the intent
to divide such securities among its principal shareholders as part of the
acquisition process, will be responsible for obtaining the knowledgeable consent
and agreement of such actual shareholder to the terms of this Agreement,
specifically referencing this paragraph.
14.5 Seller represents that it is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Seller
further represents that its financial and other circumstances are such that it
has adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated future needs
without having to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares, and that the Seller
is able to bear the economic risks of this investment and consequently is able
to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to sustain the loss of
its entire investment in the Shares, in the event such a loss should occur.
14.6 Seller acknowledges and represents that, due to its knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters, its investment experience
generally and its experience with investments similar to the Shares in
particular, Seller, either alone or together with its advisors, if any, is able
to understand and merits of, and the risks involved in, its proposed investment
in the Shares. Seller, either alone or together with its advisors, if any, has
the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with this transaction.
Seller represents and acknowledges that it and its principals have been
engaged in the
business of providing pay-per-view and cable services in the hotel/lodging
industry, which is intended area of business for which the Assets are being
acquired by the Buyer. In this regard, Seller has been acquainted with the
Chief Executive Officer of Buyer. Seller further represents and acknowledges
that it has had full opportunity to obtain additional information from Buyer
to verify the accuracy of the information supplied by it and to evaluate the
merits of its investment decision, including, without limitation, full
opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers and other
information from Buyer, its officers, directors and other persons acting on
its behalf, and all such questions have been answered, and such other
information supplied, to Seller's full satisfaction. Seller is aware of, and
has thoroughly evaluated, to its own satisfaction, the high degree of risk
associated with investing in Buyer, including but not limited to, the
specific risks associated with Buyer's business and the risks associated with
the ownership of common stock.
14.7 Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that Seller is not a U.S.
person, as defined in Regulation S. Regulation S defines "a U.S. person" as:
"(i) Any natural person resident in the United States;
(ii) Any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of
the United States;
(iii) Any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person;
(iv) Any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person;
(v) Any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States;
(vi) Any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or
trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S.
person;
(vii) Any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or
trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an
individual) resident in the United States; and
(viii) Any partnership or corporation if:
(A) Organized or incorporated under the laws of any
foreign jurisdiction; and
(B) Formed by a U.S. person principally for the
purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Act, unless it is
organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors who are not
natural persons, estates or trusts."
B. The Seller represents, warrants and certifies that it is not acquiring the
securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person or is a U.S. person who
purchased securities in a transaction that did not require registration under
the Act.
C. Seller represents and warrants that the offer and sale of the Shares is
taking place outside the United States, because an offer or sale of securities
is made in an "offshore transaction" if:
(i) the offer is not made to a person in the United States; and at the time the
buy order is originated;
(ii) the buyer is outside the United States and the buyer is not a member of a
targeted identifiable group of U.S. citizens abroad, such as members of the U.S.
armed forces serving overseas; and
(iii) no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by Chequemate,
a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on
behalf of any of the foregoing and
(iv) offering restrictions have been implemented
D. Seller acknowledges that the shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and therefore cannot be offered, sold or
otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in the United States or for the
account or benefit of any U.S. person, at any time prior to expiration of a one
year distribution compliance period, which begins on the later of the date the
securities were first offered to persons other than distributors in reliance
upon this Regulation S or the date of closing of the offering, unless first
registered under the Act, unless another exemption from registration under the
Act is available.
If Seller is a distributor and sells during the one year restricted period,
Seller agrees to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions
of this Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an
available exemption from registration; and agrees not to engage in hedging
transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the Act.
Any "restricted securities", as defined in (0)230.144, that are equity
securities of a domestic issuer will continue to be deemed to be restricted
securities, notwithstanding that they were acquired in a resale transaction made
pursuant to (0)230.901 or (0)230.904.
E. Seller represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Shares for investment
purposes, and in the event of any subsequent sale or transfer of any of the
shares prior to the end of the Regulation S Restrictive Period (not being
presently contemplated), it will obtain similar representations from the
subsequent purchaser or transferee as are contained in this Subscription
Agreement, and the same disclosures will be made.
F. Undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the certificates evidencing the
Shares will bear the following Regulation S legend:
THESE SECURITIES ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER REGULATION S PROMULGATED
UNDER THE ACT.
TRANSFER IS PROHIBITED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION; AND THAT
HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THOSE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.
THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO ANY U.S. PERSON (AS SUCH
TERM IS DEFINED IN THE REGULATIONS) FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AFTER COMPLETION OF
ANY OFFERING OF WHICH IT IS A PART, UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT. THEREAFTER,
THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO ANY U.S. PERSON (AS SUCH
PERSON IS DEFINED IN THE REGULATIONS) UNLESS (i) PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT, UNDER
REGULATION S, AND/OR UNDER THE OTHER RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE
ACT; AND (ii) AN ACCEPTABLE LEGAL OPINION IS RENDERED TO THE ISSUER, TO THE
EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS PERMISSIBLE AND/OR THAT RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
MAY BE REMOVED UNDER THE ACT.
14.8. Additional Representations by Seller. Seller represents and warrants as
follows:
(a) It has obtained copies of the most recent financial statements of
Chequemate, and has reviewed same with its investment counselors and advisers.
It has relied only on the information contained therein or otherwise provided to
it in writing by Chequemate.
(b) It understands that it is acquiring Shares of Chequemate Common
Stock without being furnished any offering literature or prospectus other than
as described above, and that this transaction has not been scrutinized by the
Securities and Exchange Commission because it constitutes an exempt transaction
under Regulation S.
(c) It understands that the Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(d) The Shares are being purchased for its own account for investment,
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any "Distribution" of the
security. It and its investment advisers have such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters so as to be able to utilize the information made
available to it in connection with the offering of the Shares to evaluate the
risks of the investment and to make an informed investment decision.
(e) All information which it has provided to Chequemate concerning
itself, its non-U.S. person status, its financial position and its knowledge of
financial and business matters, is correct and complete as of the date set forth
at the end hereof.
(f) Available information.
(i) Chequemate has made available to it the opportunity to
ask questions and receive answers concerning Chequemate, its business, and
the terms and conditions of this Regulation S offering and to obtain any
additional information which it might request, and which Chequemate
possesses, or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.
(ii) Seller may request and receive any additional information
about
Chequemate that it may wish that is not confidential prior to execution
hereof. By executing this agreement, Seller acknowledges that it has received
all information it believes necessary to make an informed decision. If it has
not requested additional information, Seller acknowledges that it has
obtained through its own resources, and examined or caused its financial
advisers to examine copies of Chequemate's current Financial Statements, and
recent press releases, and that it is satisfied with their content.
(iv) No steps have been taken or will be taken in any
jurisdiction outside of the United States that will permit the issuance of a
prospectus, notice, circular or other invitation offering these securities to
the general public for subscription or purchase. This document may not be used
for or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction
in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom
it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. In connection with this
offering, no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representations, other than those set forth in this Agreement, and, if given or
made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by Chequemate.
Seller further agrees that it will defer the delivery of the Securities to the
escrow agent until such time as the Additional Listing Application related to
the Securities is approved by AMEX. Buyer agrees to promptly file the Additional
Listing Application and pursue its approval with reasonable diligence.
14.9 Registration Rights.
The Company shall, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, use its
reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933
all of the Shares that Buyer shall deliver to the escrow agent under this
Agreement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company
to take any action pursuant to this paragraph that Seller shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding Seller, the Shares held by Seller, and the
intended method of disposition of such Shares as shall be required to effect the
registration of its Shares.
