Agreement;
(b) a
schedule containing the financial statements of Avallon identified in paragraph

below, LATVCO may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Avallon
within five (5) days after the schedules or updates were due to be produced

Section
4.09 The
Acquisition of LATVCO Common Stock.
LATVCO
and Avallon understand and agree that the consummation of this Agreement
including the issuance of the LATVCO common stock to Avallon Shareholders in
exchange for the Avallon Shares as contemplated hereby constitutes the offer
and
sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes.
LATVCO and Avallon agree that such transactions shall be consummated in reliance
on exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
such
statutes, which depend, among other items, on the circumstances under which
such
securities are acquired.
(a) In
order
to provide representations for reliance upon the exemptions from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements for such transactions, each
of
the Accepting Shareholders represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and
as
of the Closing Date, as follows:
(i) That
such
Accepting Shareholder understands that the offering and sale of the Common
Stock
is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue
of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements
of such Accepting Shareholder contained in this Agreement;
(ii) That
such
Accepting Shareholder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under
Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act;
(iii) That
such
Accepting Shareholder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers and information, from the officers of LATVCO and has deemed such
information sufficient to make an investment decision on LATVCO;
(iv) That
such
Accepting Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in business and
financial matters that such Accepting Shareholder is capable of evaluating
LATVCO, its business activities, and the risks and merits of this prospective
investment, and is not utilizing a purchaser representative (as defined in
regulation D) in connection with the evaluation of such risks and
merits;
(v) That
such
Accepting Shareholder has adequate means of providing for its current needs
and
possible personal contingencies and have no need in the foreseeable future
for
liquidity of an investment in LATVCO;
(vi) That
such
Accepting Shareholder has been advised that no accountant or attorney engaged
by
LATVCO is acting as representative, accountant, or attorney for such Accepting
Shareholder;
(vii)
To
the
extent that the representations in clauses (ii) through (vi) above are not
applicable to an Accepting Shareholder, such Accepting Shareholder represents
and warrants that it has received and reviewed the business and financial
information set forth in the Annual Report of LATVCO on Form 10-KSB for the
period ending December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on February 15, 2007;
and
(viii)
That
such
Accepting Shareholder understands that the certificates representing the
shares
issued in accordance with this Agreement shall bear a legend in substantially
the following form so restricting the sale of such Securities:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED
SECURITIES” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(b) In
connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, LATVCO and
Avallon shall each file, with the assistance of the other and their respective
legal counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as
may
be deemed by them to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document
reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the
states where the shareholders of Avallon 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 such parties to be appropriate.
(c) In
order
to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein, Avallon,
the Avallon Shareholders, and LATVCO shall execute and deliver to the other,
at
or prior to the Closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment,
suitability, or the like as Avallon or LATVCO and their respective counsel
may
reasonably request in connection with reliance on exemptions from registration
under such securities laws.
(d) The
Avallon Shareholders acknowledges that the basis for relying on exemptions
from
registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the
various parties, and that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required
or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact
exempt from registration or qualification.
Section
4.10 Sales
of Securities Under Rule 144, If Applicable.
(a) LATVCO
will use its best efforts to at all times satisfy the current public information
requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act so that its
shareholders can sell restricted securities that have been held for one year
or
more or such other restricted period as required by Rule 144 as it is from
time
to time amended.
16
(b) Upon
being informed in writing by any person holding restricted stock of LATVCO
that
such person intends to sell any shares under rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (including any rule adopted in substitution or replacement
thereof), LATVCO will certify in writing to such person that it is compliance
with Rule 144 current public information requirement to enable such person
to
sell such person’s restricted stock under Rule 144, as may be applicable under
the circumstances.
(c) If
any
certificate representing any such restricted stock is presented to LATVCO’s
transfer agent for registration or transfer in connection with any sales
theretofore made under Rule 144, provided such certificate is duly endorsed
for
transfer by the appropriate person(s) or accompanied by a separate stock power
duly executed by the appropriate person(s) in each case with reasonable
assurances that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and is accompanied
by a legal opinion that such transfer has complied with the requirements of
Rule
144, as the case may be, LATVCO will promptly instruct its transfer agent to
register 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.
(d) This
Section 4.11 shall apply to the shareholders of LATVCO as well as those
receiving LATVCO common stock pursuant to this Agreement, and shall survive
the
closing of this Agreement for a period of two years.

excess of the $50,000 of invoiced administrative expenses and $36,000 of

the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Accordingly,

liabilities.
Section

Agreement.
