This is how you impose restriction (2):
*---------------- begin example ------------------
sysuse auto, clear
generate mpg2 = -mpg
gen turn2 = turn*10
nl (mpg2 = invlogit({lgta})*price   +   ///
           invlogit({lgtb})*turn2   +   ///
           ( 0.95 -                     ///
           invlogit({lgta}) -           ///
           invlogit({lgtb}) )*foreign + ///
           {c})

nlcom  (price: invlogit(_b[lgta:_cons]))     ///
       (turn2: invlogit(_b[lgtb:_cons]))     ///
       (foreign: 0.95 -                      ///
                 invlogit(_b[lgta:_cons]) -  ///
                 invlogit(_b[lgtb:_cons]))
*----------------- end example -------------------

Hope this helps,
