In addition, we will pursue civil legal action seeking any loss of income related to the fraud, including business, legal fees, research costs, employee down time and loss of revenues. We take credit card fraud and frivolous charge backs as a personal attack on our fiscal well-being. Players Investment Company also considers credit card charge backs to be fraud if you made no reasonable effort to notify us that a problem existed, or to resolve or clarify a situation or matter. A simple phone call, email or letter normally resolves any misunderstandings. All frivolous charge backs not only costs our employees time away from our usual and customary matters of conducting normal business, but costs us money, therefore: You agree that by conducting business with Players Investment Company that any legal action resulting from any transaction will be guided by the laws of and take place in the state of Nevada; and, You agree to reimburse us or any representative we may appoint for any legal expenses your actions may make us incur. We take fraud seriously. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The waiver of a breach hereunder does not waive any other or subsequent breach Conviction on Credit Card Fraud Carries Penalties of 10 Years Imprisonment and/or a $10,000 Fine! U.S.C. Title 18, Section 3056, Subsection (b), specifically authorizes the United States Secret Service to detect and arrest any person who violates federal criminal laws relating to credit card fraud and related activity in connection with computers and/or access devices. 9. Credit Card Chargeback Policy A "chargeback" occurs when a customer disputes a credit card charge. A fraudulent chargeback occurs when a customer attempts to dispute a charge for merchandise or services that they have actually purchased. Attempting to dispute a valid credit card charge is fraudulent and is illegal. Players Investment Company does not tolerate chargeback fraud, and we follow the following procedure when it takes place: If you attempt to dispute or deny a valid charge, we will first contact you directly, because most disputed charges occur as a result of the customer not recognizing our charge on their statement. You will have ten (10) calendar days to reverse your dispute upon receipt of mail or our e-mail. If you do not reverse the dispute or otherwise attempt to resolve the situation, we will file a police report with your local authorities and seek criminal charges against you. Your account will be turned over to a collection agency, which will initiate collection activities as well as report your account as delinquent to all of the major credit bureaus. If you still do not resolve the situation by either reversing the dispute or reimbursing us for the amount disputed plus our bank fees, we will file a civil lawsuit against you for the amount disputed, for bank fees related to the chargeback, for additional damages for the harm your chargeback causes to our merchant credit record, and for punitive damages as the courts do not take credit card fraud lightly9. Currency 9.1 When you register your Account, you have the option of choosing from a list of currencies for holding any Account balance. The exchange rate applied will be the PIC-CLUB.COM Exchange Rate at the time the processing takes place. 10.

(the "CORPORATION"), and an individual Investor/Player (the "PURCHASER"). THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 1. SALE OF SHARES IN THE PIC-Club BANKROLL. The CORPORATION hereby agrees to sell to the PURCHASER and the PURCHASER hereby agrees to purchase SHARES IN THE CORPORATION'S BANKROLL. Shares are currently valued at $1.00 USD each. 2. CLOSING Upon execution of this AGREEMENT, the CORPORATION shall deliver a duly issued electronic certificate for the SHARES to PURCHASER'S Shares Account and PURCHASER shall deliver the agreed upon sum of U.S. dollars (or their equivalent) to CORPORATION. 3. LIMITATION ON TRANSFER After initial purchase of the shares, PURCHASER agrees that s/he shall have no right to transfer said shares to anyone or thing EXCEPT back to the CORPORATION. PURCHASER may exercise this right of redemption at any time and the CORPORATION agrees to re-purchase said shares at such time. IF CONTRACTOR IS ALSO OPERATING A PLAYER'S ACCOUNT THE SALE OF SHARES BACK TO THE CORPORATION IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT THAT CONTRACTOR MUST LEAVE AT LEAST THE NUMBER OF SHARES IN HIS/HER CSA AS SPECIFIED IN THE PLAYERS CONTRACT. IF THIS CONDITION IS NOT MET CONTRACTOR'S ACCOUNT(S) WILL BE CLOSED. 4. VALUE AT TIME OF SALE BACK TO THE CORPORATION The CORPORATION shall, in December of each calendar year, adjust the value of the shares, or provide for dividends, or do a splitting of the shares so as to increase the overall value of said shares, or provide for some other benefit as the case may be. Shareholders may take advantage of this December increase only as allowed in the following Vesting Schedule. Shareholders may always sell their shares back to the CORPORATION for their original purchase price. To prevent "stock dumping" however, a shareholder will only be able to sell the shares (or collect dividends or other benefits) pursuant to Section 8 of PIC-Club U. S. Agreement for Contract Player 5. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. PURCHASER represents and warrants to the CORPORATION that: a. PURCHASER is aware of the CORPORATION'S business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the CORPORATION to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the SHARES. PURCHASER has received all information from the CORPORATION that PURCHASER has requested and deems relevant to an evaluation of the risks and merits of this investment. PURCHASER has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that PURCHASER is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the SHARES. PURCHASER is purchasing the SHARES for investment for his/her own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"). b. PURCHASER understands that an investment in the CORPORATION'S SHARES is speculative, that any possible benefits from the investment are uncertain, and that PURCHASER must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. PURCHASER is able to bear these economic risks and to hold the SHARES for an indefinite period of time. c. PURCHASER acknowledges and understands that the SHARES represent a percentage of an overall investment bankroll. Control of the individual shares rests with PURCHASER, but control of the overall bankroll rests with the CORPORATION. PURCHASER understands that the operating expenses of the CORPORATION shall be taken from the overall bankroll. PURCHASER further understands that the CORPORATION may make investments in commodities and/or direct investments in players by funding said player's participation in poker tournaments. Any other investments by the CORPORATION from the bankroll shall be announced in advance at such time as the CORPORATION may see fit, but with sufficient opportunity for Purchaser to redeem shares if desired. CORPORATION warrants that at no time will it make such investment(s) unless the overall bankroll exceeds the purchase value of all outstanding shares. 6. General Provisions. 6.1. Governing Law/Entire Agreement. The laws where CORPORATION is incorporated, shall govern this AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase of Shares by PURCHASER and may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by both parties. 6.2. Notices.
