Taylor Its: Its: President 2 <PAGE> EXHIBIT A Profit Financial Corporation 14675 Interurban Avenue South Seattle, WA 98168-4664 Gentlemen: This acknowledges receipt of Three Thousand, Eight Hundred Forty-Six (3,846) shares of common stock of Profit Financial Corporation, a Utah corporation (the "Corporation"). In connection with my acquisition of these securities, I understand as follows: The undersigned represents that he or she has the business or financial experience necessary to have the capacity to protect his or her own interests in connection with the proposed transaction. These securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") as the transaction in which they are being acquired is exempt under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering. Reliance of the Corporation and others upon this exemption is predicted in part upon my representation (which I hereby confirm) that I am acquiring these securities for my own account with no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same to the public. I understand that in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the statutory and administrative basis for exemption would not be present if, notwithstanding my representation, I have in mind merely acquiring these securities for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise, or for a fixed or determinable period in the future. These securities must be held by me indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from registration is available. Any routine sales of these securities made in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Rule 144 of the SEC can be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule, and, in the event this rule is for some reason inapplicable, compliance with some other registration exemption will be required. The Corporation will supply to me such information in its possession as may be necessary to enable me to make routine sales of the securities under Rule 144, if that Rule is available. However, the Corporation is under no obligation to otherwise comply with any other exemption, or to register the securities received by the undersigned. In accordance with the policies of the SEC, the Corporation is placing the following or substantially similar legend upon the certificates representing the securities and is placing upon the Corporation's stock transfer records a stop-transfer order preventing transfer of the securities pending compliance with the conditions set forth in the legend: <PAGE> These securities are not registered under state or federal securities laws and may not be offered or sold, pledged (except a pledge pursuant to the terms of which any offer or sale upon foreclosure would be made in a manner that would not violate the registration provisions of federal or state securities laws) or otherwise distributed for value, nor may these securities be transferred on the books of the Corporation, without opinion of counsel, concurred in by counsel for the Corporation, that no violation of said registration provisions would result therefrom. I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THE FOREGOING AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT RELATES TO RESTRICTIONS UPON MY ABILITY TO SELL AND/OR TRANSFER MY SECURITIES. DATED: August 15, 1997 /s/ Curtis A.
