1.7 The
Company and/or World Orient may, in their sole discretion, reject any
subscription, in whole or in part, or terminate or withdraw the Offering in its
entirety at any time prior to a closing in relation thereto. Neither
the Company nor the Placement Agent shall be required to allocate among
investors on a pro rata basis in the event of an over-subscription.
2. Representations and
Covenants of Subscriber
2.1 The
Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Securities involves a high degree of
risk in that (i) the Company will need additional capital to operate its
business but has no assurance of additional necessary capital; (ii) an
investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can
afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the
Company and the Securities; (iii) an investor may not be able to liquidate his
or her investment; (iv) transferability of the securities comprising the
Securities is extremely limited; (v) an investor could sustain the loss of his
or her entire investment; and (vi) the Company is and will be subject to
numerous other risks and uncertainties, including without limitation,
significant and material risks relating to the Company’s business and the
business and operations of World Orient and its subsidiaries, and the
industries, markets and geographic regions in which the Company will compete, as
well as risks associated with the Offering, the Share Exchange and the other
transactions contemplated herein, in the Offering Memorandum and in the Exchange
Agreement, all as more fully set forth herein and in the Offering
Memorandum. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Company
in this Section 2.1 include the Company’s business and operations after it
acquires the business and operations of World Orient and its subsidiaries
through the Share Exchange.
2
2.2 The
Subscriber represents that he or she is an “accredited investor” as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, as indicated by
his or her responses to the Investor Questionnaire, the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A, and that
he or she is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities. The Subscriber must complete the applicable Investor
Questionnaire to enable the Company and World Orient to assess the Subscriber’s
eligibility for the Offering.
2.3 The
Subscriber acknowledges that he or she has prior investment experience,
including without limitation, investment in non-listed and non-registered
securities, or he or she has employed the services of an investment advisor,
attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available
by the Company or World Orient both to him and to all other prospective
investors in the Securities and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an
investment on his or her behalf, and that he or she recognizes the highly
speculative nature of this investment.
2.4 The
Subscriber acknowledges receipt and careful review of the Offering Memorandum,
this Subscription Agreement, and the attachments hereto and thereto
(collectively, the “Offering Documents”) and hereby represents that he or she
has been furnished or given access by the Company or World Orient during the
course of this Offering with or to all information regarding the Company and
World Orient and their respective financial conditions and results of operations
which he or she had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could
be reasonably provided have been made available for his or her inspection and
review; that he or she has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company and World
Orient concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional
information which he or she had requested. The Subscriber further
represents and acknowledges that the Subscriber has not seen or received any
advertisement or general solicitation with respect to the sale of any of the
securities of the Company, including, without limitation, the
Securities.
2.5 The
Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Shares may involve tax
consequences, and that the contents of the Offering Documents do not contain tax
advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that he or she
must retain his or her own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other
consequences of an investment in the Securities.
2.6 The
Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Shares has not been reviewed or
approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) because
the Offering is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Act. The Subscriber represents that the Securities are being
purchased for his or her own account, for investment and not for distribution or
resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that he or she will not sell
or otherwise transfer any of the securities comprising the Securities unless
they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration
is available and, upon the Company’s request, the Company receives an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company confirming that an exemption from
such registration is available for such sale or transfer.
3
2.7 The
Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the
Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act which
depends, in part, upon his investment intention. The Subscriber
realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with the intention to
distribute would represent a purchase with an intention inconsistent with his or
her representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a distribution
as a deferred sale to which such exemption is not available.
2.8 The
Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Act
requires, among other conditions, a one year holding period beginning on the
date the Company files current “Form 10 Information” (as such term is defined in
Rule 144(i)(3)) with the SEC prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of
securities acquired in a non-public offering, such as the Offering, without
having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Act. Except
as specifically set forth in Section 4.1, the Subscriber understands that the
Company makes no representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the
future of any reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or its dissemination to the public of any
current financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by
Rule 144 as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber
consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the
Securities out of his or her name only when his or her request for transfer is
accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act,
any applicable state “blue sky” laws or any applicable securities laws of any
other country, province or jurisdiction (collectively, “Securities
Laws”). The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company, World Orient and
their respective directors, officers and controlling persons and their
respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to
indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a
result of any misrepresentation made by him contained herein or in the Investor
Questionnaire or any sale or distribution by the undersigned Subscriber in
violation of any Securities Laws.
2.9 The
Subscriber consents to the placement of one or more legends on any certificate
or other document evidencing his or her Shares and the Common Stock underlying
the Shares stating that they have not been registered under the Act and are
subject to the terms of this Subscription Agreement, and setting forth or
referring to the restrictions on the transferability and sale
thereof.
2.10 The
Subscriber understands that the Company and World Orient will review this
Subscription Agreement and the Investor Questionnaire and, if the Subscriber is
a natural person, the Company and World Orient are hereby given authority by the
undersigned to call his or her bank or place of employment. The Subscriber
further authorizes the Company and World Orient to review the financial standing
of the Subscriber; and the Subscriber agrees that the Company and World Orient
reserve the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to close
the offer at any time.
2.11 The
Subscriber hereby represents that the address of Subscriber furnished by him at
the end of this Subscription Agreement and in the Investor Questionnaire is the
undersigned’s principal residence if he or she is an individual or its principal
business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
4
2.12 The
Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a Registered Representative of
a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member firm, he or she must
give such firm the notice required by the FINRA Conduct Rules, or any applicable
successor rules of the FINRA, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm
on the signature page hereof. The Subscriber shall also notify the
Company if the Subscriber or any affiliate of Subscriber is a registered
broker-dealer with the SEC, in which case the Subscriber represents that the
Subscriber is purchasing the Securities in the ordinary course of business and,
at the time of purchase of the Securities, has no agreements or understandings,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Securities or any
portion thereof.
2.13 The
Subscriber hereby represents that, except as set forth in the Offering
Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by
either the Company or World Orient or their agents, employees or affiliates and
in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on any
information, other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the results
of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
2.14 The
Subscriber agrees that he or she will purchase securities in the Offering only
if his or her intent at such time is to make such purchase for investment
purposes and not with a view toward resale.
2.15 If
the undersigned Subscriber is a partnership, corporation, trust or other entity,
such partnership, corporation, trust or other entity further represents and
warrants that: (i) it was not formed for the purpose of investing in
the Company; (ii) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and
hold the Securities; and (iii) that this Subscription Agreement has been duly
and validly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal,
binding and enforceable obligation of the undersigned.
2.16 If
the Subscriber is not a United States person, such Subscriber hereby represents
that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its
jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or
any use of this Subscription Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements
within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign
exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or
other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other
tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding,
redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Such Subscriber’s
subscription and payment for, and his or her continued beneficial ownership of
the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the
Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
2.17 The
undersigned hereby covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its
affiliates has or will have an open position (e.g., short sale) in the Common
Stock prior to the Registration Statement (as defined below) being declared
effective by the SEC with the intent of covering such open position with Common
Stock being registered in the Registration Statement. The undersigned
hereby acknowledges and understands that the SEC has taken the position that
such an open position would constitute a violation of Section 5 of the
Act.
5
2.18 The
Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the Offering Memorandum contains material,
non-public information concerning the Company within the meaning of Regulation
FD promulgated by the SEC, and (ii) the Subscriber is obtaining such material,
non-public information solely for the purpose of considering whether to purchase
the Shares pursuant to a private placement that is exempt from registration
under the Act. In accordance with Regulation FD and other applicable
provisions of the Securities Laws, the Subscriber agrees to keep such
information confidential and not to disclose it to any other person or entity
except the Subscriber’s legal counsel, other advisors and other representatives
who have agreed (i) to keep such information confidential, (ii) to use such
information only for the purpose set forth above, and (iii) to comply with
applicable securities laws with respect to such information. In
addition, the Subscriber further acknowledges that the Subscriber and such legal
counsel, other advisors and other representatives are prohibited from trading in
the Company’s securities while in possession of material, non-public information
and agrees to refrain from purchasing or selling securities of the Company until
such material, non-public information has been publicly disseminated by the
Company. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, World Orient and their respective officers, directors, employees and
affiliates and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing,
against any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or
threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of or based upon any false
representation or warranty by the Subscriber, or the Subscriber’s breach of, or
failure to comply with, any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein
or in any other document furnished by the Subscriber to the Company, World
Orient or their respective officers, directors, employees or affiliates or each
other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing in connection with this
transaction.
2.19 The
Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities are being
offered and sold to Subscriber without registration under the Act in a private
placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act under
Section 4(2) of the Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends
in part on, and that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness
of, the foregoing representations, and such Subscriber hereby consents to such
reliance.
3. Representations by the
Company and World Orient

3.2 Qualifications. The
Company and World Orient, and each of their respective subsidiaries, is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and foreign company,
respectively, and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where such

adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or
other), results of operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries
(after the effective time of the Share Exchange), taken as a
whole.
6
3.3 Capitalization of the
Company. Immediately after the effective time of the Share
Exchange (but before the closing of this Offering), the authorized capital stock
of the Company will consist of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par
value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
$0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred

understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any subsidiary is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights

the Offering Documents, the issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person

enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the
enforceability hereof and thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of
equity, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.
7

Orient, the issuance of the Shares as contemplated by the Offering Documents and
the completion by the Company and World Orient of the other transactions
contemplated by the Offering Documents do not and will not, with or without the

with or result in a breach by the Company or World Orient or their respective
subsidiaries of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default

Orient to perform its obligations under, the Offering Documents, or (iv) have
any material adverse effect on any permit, certification, registration,
approval, consent, license or franchise necessary for the Company or its
subsidiaries (after the effective time of the Share Exchange) to own or lease

ability of the Company or its subsidiaries to make use thereof.

the Company nor World Orient is aware of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry
or investigation before or by any court, public board or body, or governmental
agency pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or World Orient or
any of their respective subsidiaries, in any such case wherein an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding would have a material adverse effect on the
business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of
operations or prospects of the Company or World Orient, or the transactions
contemplated by the Offering Documents or which could adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company or
World Orient to perform its obligations under, the Offering Documents; and to
the Company’s and World Orient’s knowledge there is not pending or contemplated

respective subsidiaries is in violation of or has any liability under any

liability would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other),
results of operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries (after
the effective time of the Share Exchange), taken as a whole; and to the
knowledge of the Company and World Orient there is no pending investigation that

an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final
prospectus as amended and supplemented) at or before the written confirmation of
the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person because of the failure of
the Subscriber or underwriter to so provide such amended preliminary or final
prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended and supplemented); provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be
liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to
the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for
use in connection with such registration by the Subscriber, any such partner,
officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of such Subscriber, or
any such underwriter or any person who controls any such underwriter; provided,
however, that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be limited to an
amount equal to the portion of net proceeds represented by the Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
10
(b) To
the extent permitted by law, each Subscriber whose Registrable Securities are
included in any registration, qualification or compliance effected pursuant to
this Subscription Agreement will indemnify the Company, and its directors,
officers, agents, employees and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s
securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls
the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, each other such Subscriber and each of their officers,
directors, partners, agents and employees, and each person
controlling such Subscriber, and their respective counsel against all claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of
or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Subscribers,
directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters or control persons for any
legal or any other expenses as they are reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Subscriber; provided, however, that the
obligations of any Subscriber hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to
the net proceeds to such Subscriber from Registrable Securities sold under such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document as
contemplated herein; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Subscriber, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
(c) Each
party entitled to indemnification under this Section (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the
“Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge
of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall
conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall
be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party’s expense; and provided further that if any Indemnified Party reasonably
concludes that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are
not available to the Indemnifying Party, or that such claim or litigation
involves or could have an effect on matters beyond the scope of this
Subscription Agreement, then the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that the failure of
any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement unless
and only to the extent that such failure to give notice results in material
prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the
defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each
Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall
furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably
required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting
therefrom.
11
(d) If
the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying
Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.5 Transfer or Assignment of
Registration Rights. The Registrable Securities, and any related benefits
to the Subscriber hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber to
a permitted transferee or assignee, provided that the Company is given written
notice of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said
transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect
to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; provided
further that the transferee or assignee of such Registrable Securities shall be
deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Subscriber under this Subscription
Agreement by the acceptance of such assignment and shall, upon request from the
Company, evidence such assumption by delivery to the Company of a written
agreement assuming such obligations of the Subscriber.
4.6 Registration
Procedures. In the case of the registration effected by the
Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company will keep the
Subscriber advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as
to the completion thereof. The Company will:
(a) Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement
as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
disposition of securities covered by such registration
statement;
12
(b) Respond
as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with
respect to a registration statement or any amendment thereto.
(c) Notify
the Subscriber as promptly as reasonably practicable and (if requested by any
such person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) trading day
following the day (A) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to a registration statement is proposed to be filed and
(B) with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective;
(d) Furnish
such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including
supplements and amendments, as the Subscriber may reasonably
request;
(e) Furnish
to the Subscriber, upon request, a copy of all documents filed with and all
correspondence from or to the SEC in connection with any such registration
statement other than non-substantive cover letters and the like;
(f) Use
its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration
statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment; and
(g) Use
its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of the SEC.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the
Company notifies the Subscriber in writing of the existence of an event or
circumstance that is not disclosed in the Registration Statement and that may
have a material effect on the Company or its business (a “Potential Material
Event”), the Subscriber shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities, or
engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Registrable
Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential
Material Event until the Company notifies the Subscriber that such Potential
Material Event either has been added to the Registration Statement by amendment
or supplement or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, that the
Company may not so suspend the right of Subscriber for more than one hundred and
twenty (120) days in the aggregate.
4.7 Statement of Beneficial
Ownership. The Company may require the Subscriber to furnish
to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Subscriber and the controlling person thereof and any
other such information regarding the Subscriber, the Registrable Securities held
by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
shall be reasonably required with respect to the registration of the
Subscriber’s Registrable Securities. The Subscriber hereby
understands and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, exclude the
Subscriber’s shares of Common Stock from the Registration Statement in the event
that the Subscriber fails to provide such information requested by the Company
within the time period reasonably specified by the Company or is required to do
so by law or the SEC.
4.8 Compliance. Subscriber
covenants and agrees that if the Shares are sold under a registration statement,
that the Shares will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective
statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Act,
including in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the
registration statement and in compliance with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Act as applicable to such Subscriber in connection with
sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement required
hereunder. Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Company
and the Company’s counsel may rely on the statements and covenants made in this
Section for purposes of providing a legal opinion to the transfer agent for
removal of a restrictive legend under the Act.
13
4.9 Piggy-Back
Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period
there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others under the Act of any of its Common Stock, other than an
offering of securities issued pursuant to a Strategic Issuance (as defined
below) and other than a Form S-4 or Form S-8 registration statement (each as
promulgated under the Act or their then equivalents relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with any business combination
transaction, acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable
in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the
Company shall send to the Subscriber (together with any other holders
of its Common Stock possessing “piggyback registration rights” comparable to
those granted to the Subscriber hereunder (“Rightsholders”)) written notice of
such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such
notice, the Subscriber shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in
such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such
Subscriber requests to be registered; provided that the Company shall not be
required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section that
are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act; and
provided further that the Company may, without the consent of the Subscriber,
withdraw such registration statement before its becoming effective if the
Company or other stockholders have elected to abandon the proposal to register
the securities proposed to be registered thereunder. If the
registration statement is being filed for an underwritten public offering, the
Subscriber must timely execute and deliver the usual and customary agreement
among the Company, such Subscriber and the underwriters relating to the
registration including a lock-up agreement if requested by the underwriters with
respect to any shares of Common Stock not included in the registration, on terms
no less favorable than those agreed to by the Company, its directors and its
officers. If the registration statement is being filed for an
underwritten offer and sale by the Company of securities for its own account and
the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion
the offering contemplated by the registration statement cannot be successfully
completed if the Company were to also register the Registrable Shares of the
Subscriber requested to be included in such registration statement, then the
Company will include in the registration: (i) first, any securities the Company
proposes to sell, (ii) second, any securities of any person whose securities are
being registered as a result of the exercise of a demand registration right, and
(iii) third, that portion of the aggregate number of shares being requested for
inclusion in the registration statement by (X) the Subscriber and (Y) all other
Rightsholders, which in the opinion of such managing underwriters can
successfully be sold, such number of shares to be taken pro rata from the
Rightsholders on the basis of the total number of shares being requested for
inclusion in the registration statement by each
Rightsholder. “Strategic Issuance” shall mean an issuance of
securities: (i) in connection with a “corporate partnering” transaction or a
“strategic alliance” (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in
good faith); (ii) in connection with any financing transaction in respect of
which the Company is a borrower; or (iii) to a vendor, lessor, lender, or
customer of the Company, or a research, manufacturing or other commercial
collaborator of the Company, in a transaction approved by the Board of
Directors, provided in any case, that such issuance is not being made primarily
for the purpose of avoiding compliance with this Subscription
Agreement.
14
4.10 “Lock-Up”
Agreement. The Subscriber agrees that, during the period from the
date hereof until that date that is fourteen (14) months following the date on
which the Company's Common Stock begins to be listed or quoted on either the New
York Stock Exchange, NYSE Alternext (formerly the American Stock Exchange),
NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board (the
"Listing Date")
that, it, he or she shall not, directly or indirectly sell, assign, exchange,
distribute, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any
short sale), hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any Shares of the Company held by it, him or her and
purchased further to this Subscription Agreement, at any time during such
period, except that one-twelfth (1/12) of the Shares acquired hereunder shall be
automatically released from this lock-up provision on the date that is ninety
(90) days after the Listing Date (the “Initial Release
Date”) and then the Shares will be released every thirty (30) days
after the Initial Release Date on a pro rata basis over the eleven (11) months
following the Initial Release Date. WestPark Capital, Inc., in its
discretion, may release some or all the Shares earlier than the schedule set
forth in this Section. In
order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to and place restrictive legends on the certificates
evidencing the Shares of the Company, and the Subscriber agrees to further
execute a lock-up agreement which encompasses the terms of this Section 4.10, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.

of any and every nature among them.

holding of any provision of this Subscription Agreement to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect any other
provision of this Subscription Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
5.7 It
is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this
Subscription Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any
subsequent breach by that same party.

instruments and take such other and further action as may be necessary or
appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Subscription
Agreement.

about the Subscribers, except as required by law, provided that the Company may
provide information relating to the Subscriber as required in any registration
statement under the Act that may be filed by the Company pursuant to the

the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscribers. Nothing

into this Subscription Agreement or purchasing the Shares or acquiring,
disposing of or voting any of the underlying shares of Common
Stock. The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees
