(the “Subscriber”)
in
connection with the private placement offering (the “Offering”)
of a
minimum of 2,000,000 and a maximum of 3,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common
stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Loreto Resources
Corporation (formerly known as Loreto Corporation), a Nevada Corporation (the

at a
purchase price of $1.00 per Share.
The
Shares being subscribed for pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
The
Offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis to “accredited investors,” as
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and non-”U.S. persons,” as
defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company reserves the
right, in its sole discretion and for any reason, to reject any Subscriber’s
subscription in whole or in part, or to allot less than the number of Shares
subscribed for.
The
closing of the Offering (the “Closing;”
and
the date on which such Closing occurs hereinafter referred to as the
“Closing

shall
be at the offices of Gottbetter & Partners, LLP, as trustee (the
“Trustee”),
at

agreed to by the Company). The Company may conduct multiple closings for the
sale of the Shares until the termination of the Offering. The Offering shall
continue until August 1, 2008, which date may be extended until August 15,
2008
by the Company.

c. Company
Discretion.
The
Subscriber understands and agrees that the Company in its sole discretion
reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for
Shares, in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Subscriber
of
notice of acceptance of this subscription. The Company shall have no obligation
hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Subscriber an
executed copy of this Agreement. If this subscription is rejected in whole,
or
the offering of Shares is terminated, all funds received from the Subscriber
will be returned without interest or offset, and this Agreement shall thereafter
be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part,
the

interest or offset, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect
to
the extent this subscription was accepted.
3. Representations
and Warranties of the Company.
The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber the
following:
a. Organization
and Qualification.
The
Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of
the State of Nevada. The Company has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as currently conducted, other than such failures that would
not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, properties or financial condition (a “Material
Adverse Effect”).
The
Company is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which
the
failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
b. Authorization.
As of
the Closing, all action on the part of the Company, its board of directors,
officers and existing stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the
Company hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and this Agreement,
assuming due execution by the parties hereto and thereto, will constitute valid
and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable
remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights.
c. Valid
Issuance of the Common Stock.
The
shares of Common Stock, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein shall be duly
and
validly issued and will be free of restrictions on transfer directly or
indirectly created by the Company other than restrictions on transfer under
this
Agreement and under applicable federal and state securities laws.
d. Governmental
Consents.
No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification,
designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local
governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection
with
the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares, except for the following: (i) the
filing of such notices as may be required under the Securities Act and (ii)
the
compliance with any applicable state securities laws, which compliance will
have
occurred within the appropriate time periods therefor.
2
e. Litigation.
There
are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best
of
the Company’s knowledge, threatened before any court, administrative agency or
other governmental body against the Company which question the validity of
this
Agreement, or the right of the Company to enter into either of them, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not
a
party or subject to, and none of its assets is bound by, the provisions of
any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency
or
instrumentality which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
f. Compliance
with Other Instruments.
The
Company is not in violation or default of any provision of its Articles of
Incorporation, each as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, except for
such failures as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company is not in violation or default of any provision of any
material instrument, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, contract, commitment,
judgment, decree, order or obligation to which it is a party or by which it
or
any of its properties or assets are bound which would reasonably be expected
to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of its knowledge, the Company is
not
in violation or default of any provision of any federal, state or local statute,
rule or governmental regulation which would reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares, will
not
result in any such violation, be in conflict with or constitute, with or without
the passage of time or giving of notice, a default under any such provision,
require any consent or waiver under any such provision (other than any consents
or waivers that have been obtained), or result in the creation of any mortgage,
pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of
the
Company pursuant to any such provision.
g. Certain
Registration Matters.
Assuming the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations and warranties set
forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the representations
and warranties made by all other purchasers of Shares in the Offering, no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of
the
Shares by the Company to the Subscriber hereunder.
h. No
General Solicitation.
Neither
the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold
any of the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(within the meaning of Regulation D).
4. Representations
and Warranties of the Subscriber. The Subscriber represents and warrants to
the
Company the following:
a. The
Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and designated representatives, if any, have
the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to
evaluate the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Company,
and
have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other considerations
relating to, the purchase of Shares and the tax consequences of the investment,
and have the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment.
3
b. The
Subscriber is acquiring the Shares for investment for its own account and not
with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason
of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws, which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Subscriber
further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any
third person with respect to any of the Shares. The Subscriber understands
and
acknowledges that the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will
not
be registered under the Securities Act nor under the state securities laws
on
the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of
securities hereunder is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
c. The
Subscriber understands that no public market now exists, and there never will
be
a public market for, the Shares, that an active public market for the Company’s
Common Stock does not now exist and that there may never be an active public
market for the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering.
d. The
Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and designated representatives, if any, have
received and reviewed information about the Company and have had an opportunity
to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its
management. The Subscriber understands that such discussions, as well as any
written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the
aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be
material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and
except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information
and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any
information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such
information includes projections as to the future performance of the Company,
which projections may not be realized, are based on assumptions which may not
be
correct and are subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s
control.
e. As
of the
Closing, all action on the part of Subscriber, and its officers, directors
and
partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Subscriber
hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and this Agreement, assuming
due
execution by the parties hereto and thereto, constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability
of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and
(ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.
4
f. The
Subscriber either (i) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the
Securities Act or (ii) is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Regulation S as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act,
and, in each case, shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such
status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
g. The
Subscriber, if a non-U.S. Person, agrees that it is acquiring the Shares in
an
offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S and hereby represents to the
Company as follows:
(i) The
Subscriber is outside the United States when receiving and executing this
Subscription Agreement;
(ii) The
Subscriber has not acquired the Shares as a result of, and will not itself
engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the
United States in respect of the Shares which would include any activities
undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have
the
effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the
Shares; provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose
of
the Shares pursuant to registration of the Shares under the Securities Act
and
any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from
such registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein;
(iii) The
Subscriber understands and agrees that offers and sales of any of the Shares
prior to the expiration of a period of one year after the date of transfer
of
the Shares under this Subscription Agreement (the “Distribution
Compliance Period”),
shall
only be made in compliance with the safe harbor provisions set forth in
Regulation S, pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act
or
an exemption therefrom, and that all offers and sales after the Distribution
Compliance Period shall be made only in compliance with the registration
provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and in each case
only in accordance with all applicable securities laws;
(iv) The
Subscriber understands and agrees not to engage in any hedging transactions
involving the Shares prior to the end of the Distribution Compliance Period
unless such transactions are in compliance with the Securities Act;
and
(v) The
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:
(a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the
Shares; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase;
(c)
any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the
income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the
purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Such Subscriber’s
subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the
Shares, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the
Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
h. The
Subscriber or its duly authorized representative realizes that because of the
inherently speculative nature of investments of the kind contemplated by the
Company, the Company’s investment results may be expected to fluctuate from
month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high
degree of financial and market risk that can result in substantial or, at times,
even total losses.
5
i. The
Subscriber has adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated
financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the economic risk for an
indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity of the investment in
the
Shares and could afford complete loss of such investment.
j. The
Subscriber is not subscribing for Shares as a result of or subsequent to any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or
the
internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a
subscription by a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection
with investments in securities generally.
k. All
of
the information that the Subscriber has heretofore furnished or which is set
forth herein is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement, and,
if
there should be any material change in such information prior to the admission
of the undersigned to the Company, the Subscriber will immediately furnish
revised or corrected information to the Company.
5. “Piggyback”
Registration Rights.
Piggyback
Registration.
If the
Company shall determine to register for sale for cash any of its Common Stock,
for its own account or for the account of others (other than the Subscriber),
other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans or
securities issued or issuable to employees, consultants (to the extent the
securities owned or to be owned by such consultants could be registered on
Form
S-8) or any of their family members (including a registration on Form S-8)
or
(ii) a registration relating solely to a Securities Act Rule 145 transaction
or
a registration on Form S-4 in connection with a merger, acquisition,
divestiture, reorganization or similar event, the Company shall promptly give
to
the Subscriber written notice thereof (and in no event shall such notice be
given less than 20 calendar days prior to the filing of such registration
statement), and shall include as a piggyback registration (the “Piggyback
Registration”)
all of
the Shares specified in a written request delivered by the Subscriber to the
Company within 10 calendar days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company. However, the Company may, without the consent of the Subscriber,
withdraw such registration statement prior to its becoming effective if the
Company or such other stockholders have elected to abandon the proposal to
register the securities proposed to be registered thereby.
Underwriting.
If a
Piggyback Registration is for a registered public offering that is to be made
by
an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Subscriber of the Shares
eligible for inclusion in such registration statement pursuant to Section 5(a).
In that event, the right of any Holder to Piggyback Registration shall be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. The Subscriber proposing to sell any of his Shares through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company and any other stockholders of
the
Company selling their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter selected for
such
underwriting by the Company or the selling stockholders, as applicable.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if the underwriter or
the
Company determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number
of
shares of Common Stock or the amount of other securities to be underwritten,
the
underwriter may exclude some or all Shares from such registration and
underwriting. The Company shall so advise the Subscriber (unless the Subscriber
failed to timely elect to include his Shares through such underwriting or has
indicated to the Company his decision not to do so), and indicate to such
Subscriber the number of Shares that may be included in the registration and
underwriting, if any. The number of Shares to be included in such registration
and underwriting shall be allocated among all of the subscribers in the Offering
(the “Subscribers”)
as
follows:
6
(i) If
the
Piggyback Registration was initiated by the Company, the number of shares that
may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first
to
the Company and then, subject to obligations and commitments existing as of
the
date hereof, to all selling stockholders, including the Subscribers, who have
requested to sell in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the
number of shares requested to be included therein; and
(ii) If
the
Piggyback Registration was initiated by the exercise of demand registration
rights by a stockholder or stockholders of the Company (other than the any
of
the Subscribers), then the number of shares that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to such selling
stockholders who exercised such demand and then, subject to obligations and
commitments existing as of the date hereof, to all other selling stockholders,
including the Subscribers, who have requested to sell in the registration on
a
pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included
therein.
No
Shares
excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing
limitation shall be included in such registration. If the Subscriber disapproves
of the terms of any such underwriting, the Subscriber may elect to withdraw
such
Subscriber’s Shares therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and
the underwriter. The Shares so withdrawn from such underwriting shall also
be
withdrawn from such registration; provided,
however,
that,
if by the withdrawal of such Shares, a greater number of Shares held by other
Subscribers may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any
limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all
Subscribers who have included Shares in the registration the right to include
additional Shares pursuant to the terms and limitations set forth herein in
the
same proportion used above in determining the underwriter limitation.
6. Transfer
Restrictions. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees as follows:
a. The
Shares have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act, in reliance
on the private offering exemption in Section 4(2) thereof; the Company does
not
intend to register the Shares under the Securities Act at any time in the
future; and the undersigned will not be entitled to the benefits of Rule 144
with respect to the Shares, the shares of Common Stock and the
Warrant.
b. The
Subscriber understands that the certificates representing the Shares, until
such
time as they have been registered under the Securities Act, shall bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other
instruments):
7
For
U.S.
Persons:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE SECTION 4(2) EXEMPTION TO THE
REGISTRATION PROVISIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE
SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED, OFFERED, OR SOLD UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT IS AVAILABLE.
For
Non-U.S. Persons:
THESE
SECURITIES WERE ISSUED IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION TO PERSONS WHO ARE NOT U.S.
PERSONS (AS DEFINED in regulation s) PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”). ACCORDINGLY, NONE OF
THE SECURITIES TO WHICH THIS CERTIFICATE RELATES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE
1933 ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, NONE
MAY
BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES OR, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO U.S.
PERSONS EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PURSUANT
TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND IN EACH CASE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 0000
XXX.
The
legend(s) set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Shares upon which it is
stamped, if (a) such Shares are being sold pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (b) such holder delivers to the
Company an opinion of counsel, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the Company
that a disposition of the Shares is being made pursuant to an exemption from
such registration.
c. No
governmental agency has passed upon the Shares or made any finding or
determination as to the wisdom of any investments therein.
d. There
are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the shares of Common Stock,
and if the Company decides to issue certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock, restrictive legends will be placed on any such certificates.
7. Indemnification.
The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, control persons and
affiliates from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs,
fees and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all
expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation commenced or threatened) based upon or arising out of any actual

alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or misrepresentation

delivered in connection with this Agreement.

of
the Shares shall be made only in accordance with all applicable
