determine (the “Closing
Date”). Subsequent to the Closing, the Square C Shareholders
shall bear responsibility for registering the Transactions with the Shell

ARTICLE
II
Representations and
Warranties of the Square C Shareholders
Each of
the Square C Shareholders severally (and not jointly) hereby represents and
warrants to Shell Company and Shell Company Shareholder as follows.
2.1 Good
Title. The Square C Shareholder is the record and beneficial
owner, and has good title to its Square C Stock, with the right and authority to
sell and deliver such Square C Stock, free and clear of all Liens, claims,
charges, encumbrances, pledges, mortgages, security interests, options, rights
to acquire, proxies, voting trusts or similar agreements, restrictions on
transfer or adverse claims of any nature whatsoever. Upon delivery of any
certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein
contemplated and/or upon registering of Shell Company as the new owner of such
Square C Stock in the share register of Square C, Shell Company will receive
good title to such Square C Stock, free and clear of all Liens.
2.2 Organization. The
Square C Shareholder is duly organized and validly existing in its jurisdiction
of organization.
2.3 Power and
Authority. The Square C Shareholder has the legal power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder. All acts required to be taken by the Square C Shareholder to enter
into this Agreement and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken.
This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Square C
Shareholder, enforceable against the Square C Shareholders in accordance with
the terms hereof.
2.4 No
Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Square C Shareholder and the performance by the Square C Shareholder of its
obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (a) will not require
the consent of any third party or Governmental Entity under any Laws; (b) will
not violate any Laws applicable to the Square C Shareholder; and (c) will not
violate or breach any contractual obligation to which the Square C Shareholder
is a party.
2.5 Litigation. There
is no pending proceeding against the Square C Shareholder that involves the
Shares or that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying or
making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, any of the Transactions and, to
the knowledge of the Square C Shareholder, no such proceeding has been
threatened, and no event or circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to
give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such
proceeding.
2.6 No Finder’s
Fee. The Square C Shareholder has not created any obligation
for any finder’s, investment banker’s or broker’s fee in connection with the
Transactions that are not payable entirely by the Square C
Shareholder.
2.7 Purchase Entirely for Own
Account. The Square C Shareholder is acquiring the Shell
Company Stock proposed to be acquired hereunder for investment for its own
account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and the Square C Shareholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise
distributing the Shell Company Stock, except in compliance with applicable
securities laws.
2.8 Available
Information. The Square C Shareholder has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of investment in Shell Company and has had full access to
all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the Shell Company Stock.
2
2.9 Non-Registration. The
Square C Shareholder understands that the Shell Company Stock has not been
registered under the Securities Act and, if issued in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption
from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of
the Square C Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein. The
non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests,
benefits and entitlements attached to the Shell Company Stock in accordance with
the Shell Company Constituent Instruments or the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation.
2.10 Restricted
Securities. The Square C Shareholder understands that the
Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act
inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Square C
Shareholder pursuant hereto, the Shares would be acquired in a transaction not
involving a public offering. The issuance of the Shares hereunder is being
effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public
offering. The Square C Shareholder further acknowledges that if the Shares are
issued to the Square C Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, such Shares may not be resold without registration under the
Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Square C
Shareholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
2.11 Accredited
Investor. The Square C Shareholder is an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and the Square C
Shareholder was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Shares.
2.12 Additional
Legend. The Square C Shareholder consents to Shell Company
making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of
Shares in order to implement the restrictions on transfer of the
Shares.
2.13 Disclosure. This
Agreement, the schedules hereto and any certificate attached hereto or delivered
in accordance with the terms hereof by or on behalf of the Square C Shareholder
in connection with the Transactions, when taken together, do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary in order
to make the statements contained herein and/or therein not
misleading.
ARTICLE
III
Representations and
Warranties of Square C
Subject
to the exceptions set forth in the Square C Disclosure Letter (regardless of
whether or not the Square C Disclosure Letter is referenced below with respect
to any particular representation or warranty), Square C represents and warrants
to Shell Company, the Shell Company Shareholder and the Square C Shareholders as
follows.
3.1 Organization, Standing and
Power. Square C and each of its subsidiaries is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the corporate power and authority
and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and
approvals necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties
and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted, other than such
franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which,
individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on Square C and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole, a material adverse effect on the ability of Square C to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of Square C to
consummate the Transactions (a “Square C Material Adverse
Effect”). Square C and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do
business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership
or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary except where the
failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Square C
Material Adverse Effect. Square C has delivered to Shell Company true and
complete copies of the Square C Constituent Instruments, and the comparable
charter, organizational documents and other constituent instruments of each of
its subsidiaries, in each case as amended through the date of this
Agreement.
3
3.2 Subsidiaries; Equity
Interests.
(a) The
Square C Disclosure Letter lists each subsidiary of Square C and its
jurisdiction of organization. All the outstanding shares of capital stock or
equity investments of each subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully
paid and nonassessable and are as of the date of this Agreement owned by Square
C or by another subsidiary of Square C, free and clear of all
Liens.
(b) Except
for its interests in its subsidiaries, Square C does not, as of the date of this
Agreement, own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest,
partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any
person.
3.3 Capital
Structure. The authorized capital stock of Square C consists
of 50,000 ordinary shares, all of which are issued and outstanding. Except as
set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of Square
C are issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. Except as
disclosed in the Square C Disclosure Letter, Square C is the sole record and
beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of
its subsidiaries. All outstanding shares of the capital stock of Square C and
each of its subsidiaries are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and not subject to or issued in violation of any purchase option,
call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any
similar right under any provision of the applicable corporate laws of the
jurisdiction in which such entity was organized, the organizational documents of
any such entity or any Contract to which Square C is a party or otherwise bound.
There are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of Square C or
any of its subsidiaries having the right to vote (or convertible into, or
exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which
holders of Square C Stock or the capital stock of any of its subsidiaries may
vote (“Voting
Square C
Debt”). As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options,
warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock
rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments,
Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which Square C or any of
its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound (a) obligating
Square C or any of its subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be
issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity
interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable
into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, Square C or any of its
subsidiaries or any Voting Square C Debt, (b) obligating Square C or any of its
subsidiaries to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant,
call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (c)
that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar
to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of the
capital stock of Square C or of any of its subsidiaries. As of the date of this
Agreement, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of Square C to
repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of Square
C.
3.4 Authority; Execution and
Delivery; Enforceability. Square C has all requisite corporate
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
Transactions. The execution and delivery by Square C of this Agreement and the
consummation by Square C of the Transactions have been duly authorized and
approved by the Board of Directors of Square C and no other corporate
proceedings on the part of Square C are necessary to authorize this Agreement
and the Transactions. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will be
enforceable against Square C in accordance with its terms.
3.5 No Conflicts;
Consents.
(a) The
execution and delivery by Square C of this Agreement does not, and the
consummation of the Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not,
conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice
or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit
under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or
assets of Square C or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the
Square C Constituent Instruments or the comparable charter or organizational
documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Contract to which Square C or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their respective properties or
assets is subject or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to
in Section 3.5(b), any material judgment, order or decree or material Law
applicable to Square C or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties
or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such
items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Square C Material Adverse Effect.
4
(b) Except
for required filings with the SEC, and filings in the British Virgin Islands in
connection with the Amended Charter (defined below), no Consent of, or
registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental
Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to Square C or any
of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.
3.6 Taxes.
(a) Square
C and each of its subsidiaries has timely filed, or has caused to be timely
filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such
Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to
file or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the
aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Square C
Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or
otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to
pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be
expected to have a Square C Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes
in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any
jurisdiction, and the officers of Square C know of no basis for any such
claim.
(b) The
Square C Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable
by Square C and its subsidiaries (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes
to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all taxable
periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. No
deficiency with respect to any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed
against Square C or any of its subsidiaries, and no requests for waivers of the
time to assess any such Taxes are pending, except to the extent any such
deficiency or request for waiver, individually or in the aggregate, has not had
and would not reasonably be expected to have a Square C Material Adverse
Effect.
3.7 Benefit
Plans.
(a) Neither
Square C nor any of its subsidiaries maintains any collective bargaining
agreement or any bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation,
incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom
stock, retirement, vacation, severance, disability, death benefit,
hospitalization, medical or other plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or
not legally binding) providing benefits to any current or former employee,
officer or director of Square C or any of its subsidiaries. As of the date of
this Agreement there are not any severance or termination agreements or
arrangements between Square C or any of its subsidiaries and any current or
former employee, officer or director of Square C or any of its subsidiaries, nor
does Square C or any of its subsidiaries have any general severance plan or
policy.
3.8 Litigation. There
is no Action against or affecting Square C or any of its subsidiaries or any of
their respective properties which (a) adversely affects or challenges the
legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Agreement or the Shares or
(b) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Square C Material
Adverse Effect. Neither Square C nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director
or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject
of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability under federal or
state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.
3.9 Compliance with Applicable
Laws. Except as set forth in the Square C Disclosure Letter,
Square C and each of its subsidiaries have conducted their business and
operations in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to
occupational health and safety and the environment, except for instances of
noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would
not reasonably be expected to have a Square C Material Adverse Effect. Square C
has not received any written communication during the past two years from a
Governmental Entity that alleges that Square C is not in compliance in any
material respect with any applicable Law. This Section 3.9 does not relate to
matters with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of
Section 3.6.
3.10 Contracts. Neither
Square C nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of or in default under (nor
does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of
notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which
it is a party or to which it or any of its properties or assets is subject,
except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Square C Material Adverse
Effect.
5
3.11 Title to
Properties. Square C and each of its subsidiaries has
sufficient title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and
assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties,
other than assets and properties in which Square C or any of its subsidiaries
has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens and except for Liens
that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the
ability of Square C and its subsidiaries to conduct business as currently
conducted.
3.12 Intellectual
Property. Square C and each of its subsidiaries own, or are
validly licensed or otherwise have the right to use, all Intellectual Property
Rights which are material to the conduct of the business of Square C and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge
of Square C, threatened that Square C or any of its subsidiaries is infringing
or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any
Intellectual Property Right. To the knowledge of Square C, no person is
infringing the rights of Square C or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any
Intellectual Property Right.
3.13 Labor
Matters. There are no collective bargaining or other labor
union agreements to which Square C or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by
which any of them is bound. No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of Square C, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
Square C.
3.14 Financial Statements;
Liabilities. Square C has delivered to Shell Company its
audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December
31, 2009 and 2008 (the “Square C Financial

Representations and
Warranties of Shell Company
Shell
Company represents and warrants as follows to Square C and the Square C
Shareholders.
4.1 Organization, Standing and
Power. Shell Company is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and
has full corporate power and authority and possesses all governmental
franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable
it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its
businesses as presently conducted, other than such franchises, licenses,
permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the
aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on Shell Company, a material adverse effect on the ability of
Shell Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability
of Shell Company to consummate the Transactions (a “Shell Company Material
Adverse Effect”). Shell Company is duly qualified to do business in each
jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its
properties makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to so
qualify would reasonably be expected to have a Shell Company Material Adverse
Effect. Shell Company has delivered to Square C or its counsel true and complete
copies of the Shell Company Constituent Instruments.

Interests. Shell Company does not own, directly or indirectly,
any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture

Debt”). As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options,
warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock
rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments,

stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable

all of the issued and outstanding shares of Shell Company’s capital
stock.

Delivery; Enforceability. The execution and delivery by Shell
Company of this Agreement and the consummation by Shell Company of the
Transactions have been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of

Consents.

execution and delivery by Shell Company of this Agreement does not, and the

termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a

rights or entitlements of any person under, or result in the creation of any
Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Shell Company under, any provision

Company has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all
Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true,
complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file, any delinquency

aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Shell
Company Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns,

(a) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of
either of this Agreement or the Shares or (b) could, if there were an
unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Shell Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither Shell
Company nor any director or officer (in his or her capacity as such), is or has
been the subject of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability
under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary
duty.

not reasonably be expected to have a Shell Company Material Adverse Effect.
Shell Company has not received any written communication during the past two
years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that Shell Company is not in
compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law. Shell Company is in
compliance with all effective requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as

upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of
or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or to which it or any of
its properties or assets is subject, except for violations or defaults that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Shell Company Material Adverse Effect.

Properties. Shell Company has good title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of
its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties
in which Shell Company has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens,

interfere with the ability of Shell Company to conduct business as currently
conducted. Shell Company has complied in all material respects with the terms of
