4.05 The
Issuance of Patriot Preferred Stock.
Patriot
and Everwin understand and agree that the consummation of this Agreement,
including the issuance of the Patriot Preferred Stock to Everwin as contemplated
hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act
and applicable state statutes. Patriot and Everwin agree that such transactions
shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), including
the exemption provided by Regulation S. Such exemption is based on the following
representations, warranties and covenants made by the Everwin.
(a)
Regulation S Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Everwin represents
and
warrants to, and covenants with, Patriot as follows with respect to the Patriot
Preferred Stock and the common stock into which it is convertible:
(1)
|
Everwin
is not a U.S. person as defined in Regulation S and is not acquiring
the
shares of Patriot Preferred Stock or the common stock into which
it is
convertible for the account or for the benefit of any U.S.
person.
|
(2)
|
Everwin
agrees to resell the Patriot Preferred Stock and the common stock
into
which it is convertible only in accordance with the provisions of
Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant
to an
available exemption from
registration.
|
(3)
|
Everwin
agrees not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to the shares
of
Patriot Preferred Stock or the common stock into which it is convertible
unless in compliance with the Act.
|
(4)
|
Everwin
consents to the certificates for the shares of Patriot Preferred
Stock and
the common stock into which it is convertible containing a legend
to the
effect that transfer is prohibited except pursuant to registration
under
the Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration,
and that
hedging transactions involving the shares of common stock may not
be
conducted unless in compliance with the
Act.
|
(5)
|
Everwin
acknowledges that Patriot has agreed to refuse to register any transfer
of
the shares of Patriot Preferred Stock and the common stock into which
it
is convertible not made pursuant to registration under the Act, or
pursuant to an available exemption from
registration.
|
(b)
In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Everwin shall
file, with its counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other
instruments as may be deemed necessary or appropriate in an effort to document
reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the
countries where the SenRun Shareholders reside unless an exemption requiring
no
filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner
as may be deemed by the Parties to be appropriate. Patriot shall cooperate
with
Everwin in connection with any such filings.
(c)
Other
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(1)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders has been furnished with and has carefully
read
the periodic reports on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB and 8-K filed by Patriot
with
the Securities and Exchange Commission during the preceding three
years. With respect to individual or partnership tax and other
economic considerations involved in this investment, each of the
SenRun
Shareholders confirms that it is not relying on Patriot (or any agent
or
representative of Patriot). Each of the SenRun Shareholders has
carefully considered and has, to the extent such person believes
such
discussion necessary, discussed with its own legal, tax, accounting
and
financial advisers the suitability of an investment in the Patriot
Preferred Stock for such particular tax and financial
situation.
|
(2)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders acknowledges that Patriot is a “shell company”
with no operations and no significant assets and that, as a result,
the
consideration for the Shares far exceeds the value of the Shares
under any
recognized criteria of value. Each of the SenRun Shareholders further
acknowledges that it is aware of the quoted prices for Patriot’s common
stock on the OTC Bulletin Board but understands there is no active
trading
market for such shares, quotations on the OTCBB represent inter-dealer
prices without retail xxxx-up, xxxx-down, or commission, and may
not
represent actual transactions, and there is no liquid trading market
for
Patriot’s common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the
SenRun Shareholders will be able to sell the common stock into which
the
Patriot Preferred stock is convertible in the
future.
|
-
13
-
(3)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders has had an opportunity to inspect relevant
documents relating to the organization and business of Patriot. Each

the SenRun Shareholders acknowledges that all documents, records
and books
pertaining to this investment which such SenRun Shareholder has requested
have been made available for inspection by such SenRun Shareholder
and
their respective attorney, accountant or other
adviser(s).
|
(4)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders and/or its respective advisor(s) has/have
had a
reasonable opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers and
request additional relevant information from, the officers of Patriot
concerning the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
|
(5)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders confirms that it is not acquiring the
Patriot
Preferred Stock and/or the common stock into which it is convertible
as a
result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or
other
communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media
or
broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar.
|
(6)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders, by reason of such person’s business or
financial experience, has the capacity to protect its own interests
in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
|
(7)
|
Except
as set forth in this Agreement, each of the SenRun Shareholders represents
that no representations or warranties have been made to it by Patriot,
any
officer director, agent, employee, or affiliate of Patriot, and such
SenRun Shareholder has not relied on any oral representation by Patriot
or
by any of its officers, directors or agents in connection with its
decision to acquire the Patriot Preferred Stock and/or the common
stock
into which it is convertible
hereunder.
|
(8)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders represents that neither it nor any of
its
directors, officers, managers, members, trustees or affiliates is
subject
to any of the events described in Section 262(b) of Regulation A
promulgated under the Act.
|
(9)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders has adequate means of providing for its
current
financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the substantial
economic risks of an investment in the Patriot Preferred Stock and/or
the
common stock into which it is convertible for an indefinite period
of
time, has no need for liquidity in such investment and, at the present
time, could afford a complete loss of such
investment.
|
(10)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders has such knowledge and experience in financial,
tax and business matters so as to enable such Purchaser to use the
information made available to it in connection with the transaction
to
evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Patriot Preferred
Stock and/or the common stock into which it is convertible and to
make an
informed investment decision with respect
thereto.
|
(11)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders understands that the Patriot Preferred
Stock
and/or the common stock into which it is convertible are “restricted
securities” that have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law and they are acquiring the same as
principal for their own account for investment purposes and not for
distribution. Each of the SenRun Shareholders acknowledges that the
Patriot Preferred Stock and/or the common stock into which it is
convertible have not been registered under the Act or under any the
securities act of any state or country. Each of the SenRun Shareholders
understands further that in absence of an effective registration
statement, the Patriot Preferred Stock and the common stock into
which it
is convertible can only be sold pursuant to some exemption from
registration.
|
-
14
-
(12)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders recognizes that investment in the Patriot
Preferred Stock and/or the common stock into which it is convertible
involves substantial risks. Each of the SenRun Shareholders acknowledges
that it has reviewed the risk factors identified in the periodic
reports
filed by Patriot with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each
of the
SenRun Shareholders further confirms that it is aware that no federal
or
state agencies have passed upon this transaction or made any finding
or
determination as to the fairness of this
investment.
|
(13)
|
Each
of the SenRun Shareholders acknowledges that each stock certificate
representing the Patriot Preferred Stock and the common stock into
which
it is convertible shall contain a legend substantially in the following
form:
|
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION AFFORDED BY
REGULATION S AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS

OR
PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION, PROVIDED THAT THE
PURCHASER DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH OPINION AND
COUNSEL ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) CONFIRMING THE AVAILABILITY
OF SUCH EXEMPTION. THE HOLDER AGREES TO REFRAIN FROM HEDGING
TRANSACTIONS PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION S.
4.06 Securities

Everwin,
as the controlling shareholder of Patriot following Closing, shall cause Patriot
to timely prepare and file all Securities Act and Exchange Act filings that

4.07 Sales

(a)
Patriot will use its best efforts to at all times satisfy the current public
information requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.
(b)

duly executed by the appropriate person(s) in each case with reasonable
assurances that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and is accompanied
by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Patriot and its counsel that such
transfer has complied with the requirements of Rule 144, as the case may be,
Patriot will promptly instruct its transfer agent to allow such transfer and
to
issue one or more new certificates representing such shares to the transferee
and, if appropriate under the provisions of Rule 144, as the case may be, free
of any stop transfer order or restrictive legend.
(c)
The
shareholders of Patriot as of the date of this Agreement, as well as those
receiving Patriot Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, are intended
third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.07.

4.08 Transfer
and Registration Rights of Everwin.
(a) Mandatory
Registration Rights. Upon receipt of written demand by Everwin on one occasion
only, Patriot shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later
than 60 calendar days after the date of such notice, file with the SEC a
Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form
S-3
(or if such form is unavailable, such other form as is available for
registration) covering the resale of all of the common stock underlying the
Patriot Preferred Stock. Patriot shall use its best efforts to have
the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than 120 calendar days after the date notice is
received.
(b) Piggy
Back Registration Rights.
(i)
|
If
Patriot determines, including as required under any demand registration
rights agreement, to register any of its common stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for common stock under the Securities
Act
on a form which is suitable for an offering for cash or common stock
of
Patriot held by third parties and which is not a registration solely
to
implement an employee benefit plan, a registration statement on Form
S-4
(or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 or any other
similar rule of the SEC is applicable, Patriot will promptly give
written
notice to Everwin of its intention to effect such a
registration. Subject to subsection (ii) below, Patriot shall
include all of the common stock that Everwin requests to be included
in
such a registration by a written notice delivered to Patriot within
fifteen (15) days after the notice given by
Patriot.
|
(ii)
|
If
the registration, as described in subsection (i) above, involves
an
underwritten offering, Patriot will not be required to register common
stock in excess of the amount that the principal underwriter reasonably
and in good faith recommends may be included in such offering (a
“Cutback”), which recommendation, and supporting reasoning, shall be
delivered to Everwin. If such a Cutback occurs, the number of
shares of common stock that are entitled to included in the registration
and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: (i)
first, to
Patriot for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account,
(ii)
second, to Everwin shares requiring such registration, and (iii)
third, to
other holders of stock of Patriot requesting inclusion in the
registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the
basis
of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has
requested registration.
|
(iii) | All costs and expenses of any such registration statement shall be paid by Patriot, other than sales commissions and the expenses of any separate legal counsel engaged by Everwin. |
(iv)
|

2.
|

entitled to receive dividends or other distributions only when, as,

of

shares
of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled as aforesaid and
a check
payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common
Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately

Adjustments
to Conversion Ratio. The number of shares of Common Stock into which

of
votes to which the holder of a share of the Series A Preferred is
entitled
pursuant to Section 4, shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as

(1) Dividends
and Distributions. In case the Company shall at any time or
from time to time declare a non-cash dividend, or make a distribution, on the
outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or subdivide or

number of shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such case:
|
(i)
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series
A
Preferred is convertible shall be adjusted so that the holder of
each
share thereof shall be entitled to receive, upon the conversion thereof,
the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of a share
of Series
A Preferred would have been entitled to receive after the happening
of any
of the events described above had such share been converted immediately
prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefore,
whichever is earlier;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
number of votes to which a holder of a share of Series A Preferred
is
entitled pursuant to Section 5 shall be adjusted so that, after the
happening of any of the events described above, such holder shall
be
entitled to a number of votes equal to (I) the number of votes to
which
such holder was entitled pursuant to Section 5 immediately
prior to such happening multiplied by (II)
a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock
into which one share of Series A Preferred was convertible immediately
after such happening and the denominator of which is
the
number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series A
Preferred was convertible immediately prior to such happening;

of
business on the date of payment of such dividend or distribution,

a noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any
combination of any of the foregoing, then, as a condition of the
consummation of such transaction, lawful and adequate provision shall
be

be
entitled, upon conversion, to an amount per share equal to (A) the
aggregate amount of stock, securities. cash and/or any other property
(payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each
share

any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
or seek
to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed
or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times
in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all provisions of this Section
3 and
in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate

readjustment of the Conversion Ratio of the Series A preferred pursuant
to
this Section 3, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute
such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
furnish
to each holder of Series A Preferred a certificate setting forth
the
adjustment or readjustment and the calculation on which such adjustment
or
readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request
at
any time of any holder of Series A Preferred, furnish or cause to
be
furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such
adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Ratio for the
Series A
Preferred at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of
Common

determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend
(other than the special cash distribution referred to in Section

or a cash dividend which is the same as the cash dividends paid in
the
previous quarter) or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail
to
each holder of Series A Preferred at least ten (10) days prior to
the date
specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such
record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or
distribution.

(g)
|
Common
Stock Reserved. Commencing on the Conversion Date, the Corporation
shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
Common
Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be
sufficient to effect conversion of the Series A Preferred. If, on
the
Conversion Date, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
remaining
unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion at such
time of
all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred, the Company
shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to increase the number of authorized
shares of the Company’s Common Stock as necessary to permit the conversion
of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and shall
diligently pursue the completion of such
process.
|
(h)
|
Waiver

shares of Series A Preferred, either prospectively or retroactively

either generally or in a particular instance, by a writing executed
by the
registered holder of such share or shares of Series A Preferred.
Any such
waiver shall bind all future holders of such share or shares of Series
A
Preferred for which such rights have been
waived.

Rights. In addition to any voting rights provided by law each outstanding
share of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to 4.753 votes per share. The
shares of Series A Preferred and the shares of Common Stock shall vote together
as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of common stockholders of the
Company.

Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the assets
of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be
distributed pro rata to the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock
(in
case of the Preferred Stock, on an “as converted basis” into Common Stock) and
the Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any preference upon
liquidation.
-

shares thereafter shall be returned to the status of undesignated and unissued
shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation.
