NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription/Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Purchaser hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company the Shares, at an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), and the Company agrees to sell and issue the Shares to the Purchaser for the Purchase Price. The Purchaser has hereby delivered and paid to the Company concurrently herewith the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Company. Promptly after the date hereof, the certificate for the Shares will be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser.
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company as follows:
(a) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchaser’s investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect the Purchaser’s own interests.
(b) The Purchaser understands that the Shares to be purchased have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act or the securities laws of any state by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act and the applicable state securities laws, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.
(c) Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Shares are being purchased for Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Shares for any particular price, or at any particular time, or upon the happening of any particular event or circumstances, except selling, transferring, or disposing the Shares made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder, and applicable state securities laws; and that the Shares are not liquid investments.
(d) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. In addition, the Purchaser is aware that the Company is currently a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act and that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act are not available until certain conditions precedent thereunder are met. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser is not relying on the Company in any way to satisfy the conditions precedent for resale of securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act.
(e) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company or any person acting on its behalf concerning the Company and its business and to obtain any additional information, to the extent possessed by the Company (or to the extent it could have been provided by the Company without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by the Purchaser. In connection therewith, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has had the opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management or any person acting on its behalf. The Purchaser has received and reviewed all the information, both written and oral, that it desires. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has been furnished with or has had the opportunity to acquire, and to review, (i) copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and any Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed thereafter (the “SEC Filings”), and other publicly available documents, and (ii) all information, both written and oral, that it desires with respect to the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and prospects. In determining whether to make this investment, the Purchaser has relied solely on the Purchaser’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon the Purchaser’s own due diligence investigations and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. The Purchaser understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this paragraph and the Purchaser has not relied on any other representations or information.
(f) The Purchaser has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out and perform the Purchaser’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general principals of equity, whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law.
(g) The Purchaser has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Purchaser, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
(h) To the extent the Purchaser deems necessary, the Purchaser has reviewed with the Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2
(i) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s properties before any court or governmental agency (nor, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way the Purchaser’s ability to enter into and fully perform the Purchaser’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and the issuance of the Shares will not result in any material violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a material default under, any of the Purchaser’s material agreements nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of the Purchaser or the Shares.
(k) Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and that the Purchaser can bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares, including a total loss of his investment.
(l) The Purchaser recognizes that no federal, state or foreign agency has recommended or endorsed the purchase of the Shares.
(m) Purchaser understands that any and all certificates representing the Shares and any and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor shall bear the following legend, or one substantially similar thereto, which Purchaser has read and understands:
|
|
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for these securities under the Securities Act of 1933 or an opinion of the Company’s counsel that registration is not required under said Act.”
|
(n) In addition, the certificates representing the Shares, and any and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor, shall bear such legend as may be required by the securities laws of the jurisdiction in which the Purchaser resides.
(o) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making an informed investment decision.
(p) Purchaser represents that (i) Purchaser could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect his/her/its own interests in connection with this subscription; or (ii) Purchaser has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with either the Company or an affiliate thereof of such duration and nature as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or such affiliate and is otherwise personally qualified to evaluate and assess the risks, nature and other aspects of this subscription.
