INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER: __________________________________
ISSUER:
US WIRELESS ONLINE, INC. (Referred to herein below as the “Company”)
SECURITY:
Common Stock, par value $.001
QUANTITY:_______________ Shares
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities of the Company, I, the purchaser represent to the Company the following:
1.
Investment. (a) I am aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition. I am purchasing the Securities for investment for my own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption there from, which exemption depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection I understand that, in view of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities or for the period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(b)
I have examined or have had an opportunity to examine, before the date hereof, such documents and information relevant to this transaction as may have been requested from the Company, in that connection, I have taken all steps necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of this offering.
(c) I have had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from officers of the Company, or a person or persons acting on its behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this investment, and all such questions have been answered to my full satisfaction.
2.
Restrictions on Transfer Under Securities Act. I further acknowledge and understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and registered and/or qualified under applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration and/or qualification is available. Moreover, I understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.
3.
Sales Under Rule 144. I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act, which in substance permits limited public resale of securities acquired in a non- public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (i) the availability of certain current public information about the Company, (ii) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a " market maker," and (iv) the amount of securities sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations (generally 1% of the total shares outstanding).
4.
Limitations on Rule 144. I further acknowledge and understand that the Company is currently, but at any time I wish to sell the Securities may not be, satisfying the public information requirement of Rule 144, and, in such case, I would be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the minimum holding period under Rule 144 had been satisfied.
In Witness Whereof, the undersigned has executed this Investor Representation Statement with knowledge that the above-named Issuer will rely on the truth and completeness of the representations and warrantees contained herein.
