($80,000.00) to purchase One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of the Company's
common stock (the "Common Stock") for a price of $0.80 per share.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other
agreements contained in this Agreement the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as
follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK.
(a) Purchase of Common Stock. The Buyer has invested Eighty Thousand and
No/100ths Dollars ($80,000.00) to purchase One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares
of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") for a price of $0.80 per
share. The Company acknowledges receipt of Eighty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars
($80,000.00).
(b) Closing Date. The Closing for the purchase of the Common Stock under
this Agreement occurred on June 20, 2007.
(c) Adjustment. To the extent that the Company completes a stock split,
reverse stock split, or stock dividend, the number of shares to be purchased by
the Buyer and the purchase price to be paid by the Buyer will be appropriately
adjusted.
2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Buyer represents and warrants that:
(a) Investment Purpose. The Buyer has acquired and will acquire the Common
Stock for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that by making the representations herein, the Buyer reserves the right
to dispose of the Common Stock at any time in accordance with all applicable
legal requirements.
(b) Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Common Stock was
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the
Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer's
compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire such
securities.
(c) Information. The Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if
any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances
and operations of the Company and information he deemed material to making an
informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Common Stock which
have been requested by the Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management.
Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by
the Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or
affect the Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties
contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer understands that its investment in the
Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. The Buyer is in a position
regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or
economic bargaining power, enabled and enables the Buyer to obtain information
from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.
The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Common Stock.
(d) Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Common Stock
have not been, and are not being, registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) the Buyer
shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable form, to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration requirements; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of
any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer
instructions against the shares and certificates for the Common Stock.
(e) Legends. The Buyer understands that the certificates or other
instruments representing the Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed
against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR
INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(f) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer and is a valid and
binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of
applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
