EXHIBIT 4.3
INTERNET EXTRA CORPORATION
WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made and entered into as of January 11, 1999 by Internet
Extra Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
(the "Purchaser").
1. Issuance of Warrant.
-------------------
1.1 In consideration for the agreed upon terms and conditions to be
met by the Purchaser, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Company shall issue to the Purchaser a Common Stock Warrant ("Warrant") in the
form attached to this agreement as Exhibit A, exercisable for up to 500,000
---------
shares of Common Stock ("Shares"), at a price of $0.50 per share. The terms and
conditions for exercise of the Warrants are set forth in the Warrant.
2. Investment Representations.
--------------------------
2.1 The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) The Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant and the
Shares. The Purchaser is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Shares for
its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the
resale in connection with, any "distribution" for purposes of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
(b) The Purchaser understands that this Warrant and the Shares
have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption,
which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of its
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Purchaser
understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if its representation
was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Warrant or the Shares
for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(c) The Purchaser further understands that the Warrant and the
Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or
unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, the
Purchaser understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the
Warrant or the Shares. In addition, the Purchaser understands that the Warrant
and the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of
the Warrant or the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not
required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.
(d) The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144,
promulgated under the Act, which in substance, permit limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer (or
from an affiliate of the issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including, in case the purchaser has held
the securities less than three
years or is an affiliate of the Company: (1) the resale occurring not less than
two years after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold;
(2) the availability of certain public information about the Company; (3) the
sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said terms are defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934); (4) the amount of securities being sold during
any three-month period not exceeding certain specified limitations and (5) the
filing of a Notice of Sale on Form 144 as appropriate.
(e) The Purchaser further understands that at the time it wishes
to sell the Warrant or the Shares there may be no public market upon which to
make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists the Company
may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144,
and that, in such event, the Purchaser would be precluded from selling the
Warrant or Shares under Rule 144 unless (1) a three-year minimum holding period
had been satisfied and (2) it was not at the time of sale nor at any time during
the three-month period prior to such sale an affiliate of the Company.
(f) The Purchaser further understands that in the event all of
the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under
the Act, compliance with Regulation A or some other registration exemption will
be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive,
the staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell
private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise
than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or
sales and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such
transaction do so at their own risk.
2.2 Legends.
-------
(a) The Warrant shall be endorsed with the following legend (in
addition to any legend required by applicable state securities laws):

REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED

the following legend (in addition to any legend required by applicable state
securities laws):
