affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, specific performance, injunctive
or other equitable remedies.

Stock is not presently contemplated to be registered under the United States
federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") or any state
securities laws. The Common Stock is being acquired by the Purchaser for

applicable law. The Purchaser understands that the Common Stock must be held by

benefit of any U.S. person.

conditions and requirements contained in Regulation S, specifically, without
limitation, Purchaser understands that the statutory basis for the exemption

days following the closing and thereafter only if registered under the
Securities Act and all applicable state laws or an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and similar state laws is
available.
