WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) contained in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D, the Company desires to issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, securities of the Company as more fully described in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrant.
(a) Issuance of Common Stock. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, an aggregate of 38,462 shares (the “Shares”) of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $0.65 per Share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000.30 (the “Purchase Price”).
(b) Issuance of Warrant. Concurrently with the issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser, the Company will issue to the Purchaser a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Warrant”) exercisable for a period of five (5) years, to purchase 19,231 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.
(c) Delivery. The Closing (“Closing”) of the sale and purchase of the Shares and Warrant shall take place on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser a certificate (the “Certificate”) representing the Shares and the Warrant to be purchased by such Purchaser, against receipt by the Company of the Purchase Price. Upon Closing, the Certificate representing the Shares and the Warrant shall be registered in the Purchaser’s name in the Company’s records.

(b) Securities Law Compliance. Such Purchaser has been advised that the Shares, the Warrant and the underlying securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment without impairing such Purchaser’s financial condition and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Such Purchaser is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company. The residency of the Purchaser (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth beneath such Purchaser’s name on the signature page hereto.
(c) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has given such Purchaser access to the corporate records and accounts of the Company and to all information in its possession relating to the Company, has made its officers and representatives available for interview by such Purchaser, and has furnished such Purchaser with all documents and other information required for such Purchaser to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Shares and the Warrant.
(d) Tax Advisors. Such Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters, such Purchaser relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. Such Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Registration Rights.
(i) Piggy-Back Registration. Company shall give Purchaser at least 30 days’ prior written notice of each filing by Company of a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or on any successor forms thereto) with the SEC. If requested by the Purchaser in writing within 20 days after receipt of any such notice, Company shall, at Company’s sole expense (other than the underwriting discounts, if any, payable in respect of the shares sold by the Purchaser), register all or, at Purchaser’s option, any portion of the Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) concurrently with the registration of such other securities, all to the extent requisite to permit the public offering and sale of the Registrable Securities through the securities exchange, if any, on which the Common Stock is being sold or on the over-the-counter market, and will use its reasonable best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors, and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. If the managing underwriter of any such offering shall determine and advise Company that, in its opinion, the distribution of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration concurrently with the securities
6 |
being registered by Company would materially adversely affect the distribution of such securities by Company then Company will include in such registration first, the securities that Company proposes to sell and second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, to the extent permitted by the managing underwriter.
(ii) In the event of a registration pursuant to these provisions, Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities so registered to be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any state by reason of this section in which it is not otherwise required to qualify to do business.
(iii) Company shall keep effective any registration or qualification contemplated by this section and shall from time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit the Purchaser to complete the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby.
(iv) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions of this section, Company shall furnish to the Purchaser such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case, including all exhibits), of each prospectus contained in such registration statement and each supplement or amendment thereto (including each preliminary prospectus), all of which shall conform to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such other documents, as the Purchaser may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.
(v) Company shall notify the Purchaser within three (3) business days after such registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed.
(vi) Company shall advise the Purchaser within three (3) business days after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and within three (3) business days take action using its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued.
(vii) Company shall within three (3) business days notify the Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the reasonable request of the Purchaser prepare and furnish to it such number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities or securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Purchaser shall suspend all sales of the Registrable Securities upon receipt of such notice from Company and shall not re-commence sales until they receive copies of any necessary amendment or supplement to such prospectus, which shall be delivered to the Purchaser within 30 days of the date of such notice from Company.
7 |
(viii) If requested by the underwriter for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, Company and the Purchaser will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriter for such offering, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to Company, Company’s counsel and the Purchaser’ counsel, and the underwriter, and such agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by Company and the Purchaser and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in an underwriting agreement with respect to secondary distributions solely by selling stockholders, including, without limitation, indemnities substantially to the effect and to the extent provided below.
(ix) The rights of the Purchaser under this Section 6(a) shall apply equally to the filing by Company of an offering statement on Form 1-A under Regulation A promulgated under the Act and, if Company files such an offering statement instead of a registration statement, all references to (A) registration statement shall be deemed to be references to offering statement, (B) prospectus shall be deemed to be references to offering circular, and (C) effective date of a registration statement shall be deemed to be references to qualification date of an offering statement. The Purchaser’s rights under this Section 6(a) shall automatically terminate once the Purchaser has sold all of the Registrable Securities or all of the Registrable Securities may be resold by the Purchaser under Rule 144 of the Act without limitation as to the volume of Registrable Securities to be sold.
(b) Waivers and Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement and/or the Warrant may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of the Company and Purchaser.
(c) Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Texas or of any other state.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant (which may be an affidavit of the Holder in the case of loss, theft, destruction), and (in the case of loss, theft, or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like term and date.
3. Reclassification, Reorganization, Conversion, Consolidation, or Merger. In the case of any Reorganization Transaction (defined below), the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of securities and property receivable upon such Reorganization Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been received upon exercise in full of this Warrant immediately prior to such Reorganization Transaction. Any such provision shall (a) be binding upon the Holder without the Holder’s further consent and (b) include provision for adjustments in respect of such securities and property that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Transactions. For purposes of this Section 3, “Reorganization Transaction” means any reclassification, conversion, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person or any sale, lease, transfer, or conveyance to another Person of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety.
4. Stock Splits, Combinations and Other Adjustments.
(a) Splits and Subdivisions; Dividends. In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time effectuate a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or pay a dividend in or make a distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or any capital stock or other security of the Company that is at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any capital stock or other security of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock) (“Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of the applicable record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the per share Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase (or potential increase) of outstanding shares; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made in the event the split, subdivision, dividend or distribution is not effectuated.
(b) Combination of Shares. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the per share Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased and the number of
13 |
shares of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(c) Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions to the holders of Common Stock paid out of current or retained earnings and declared by the Company’s board of directors) or options or rights not referred to in Section 3 or in this Section 4, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the Holder was the actual record holder of the number of Warrant Shares as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.
5. Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of Common Stock until this Warrant is exercised in the manner provided herein.
6. Securities Laws. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of applicable securities laws. Certificates (if any) representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the form set forth at the heading of this Warrant.
7. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its articles of incorporation as amended to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
8. Net Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will the Holder hereof be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement as liquidated damages in lieu of physical settlement in shares of Common Stock, regardless of whether the Common Stock underlying this Warrant is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement; provided, however, that the foregoing will not preclude the Holder from seeking other remedies at law or equity for breaches by the Company of its registration obligations hereunder.
9. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated only in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Texas or of any other state. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and
