This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of August 18, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Spectral Capital Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Trafalgar Wealth Managment Ltd. (the “Purchaser”).
In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth below, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company at the Closing (as defined below) fifty million (50,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $0.001 per share and the right to purchase (the “Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($50,000) (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”). In addition to the Shares, the Purchaser is also hereby issued warrants to purchase 10,000,000 of the Company’s common shares at a price of $1.00 per share for a period of 24 months, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (“Warrants”).
2. Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held on the date first set forth above, or at any other time mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser. The Closing will take place at the principal office of the Company or at such other place as shall be designated by the Company. After the Closing, the Company will issue, as promptly thereafter as practicable, a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Purchaser, reflecting the Shares.
3. Repurchase Option.
A.Repurchase Option. In the event that the Purchaser fails to exercise for cash at least $1,000,000 of the Warrants, the Company shall, from such time (as determined by the Company in its discretion), have the right, but not the obligation (the “Repurchase Option”) to repurchase the shares, in addition, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date hereof, the Company shall also have a Repurchase Option in the event that an independent director of the Company is appointed and fails to ratify the transaction and/or the Company hires a third party valuation expert who determines that the terms of the Purchase were not fair to the Company. The Repurchase Option shall be at the Purchase Price. The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by delivering written notice to the Purchaser and by delivering to the Purchaser a check in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the Shares being repurchased by the Company. Upon an exercise by the Company of the Repurchase Option, the unexercised Warrants shall immediately be cancelled.
B.Assignability. The Company in its sole discretion may assign all or part of the Repurchase Option to one or more employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations.
4. Terms of the Warrant.
A [intentionally omitted]
B. Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation to purchase up to 10,000,000 common shares of the Company’s stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00. There can be no cashless or net exercise of such warrants, the full purchase price must be tendered in cash. In the event that the Purchaser exercises the Warrants, they will simply tender the exercise price and the attached notice of exercise to the Company.
C. Expiration. The warrant shall expire 24 months from the date hereof.
D. Assigniblility. The Warrants shall be assignable by the Purchaser, so long as any assignment is subject to cancellation in the event of the exercise of the Repurchase Option by the Company on the Shares.
[intentionally omitted]
A. Investment Representations and Legend Requirements. The Purchaser hereby makes the investment representations listed on Exhibit A to the Company as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of the Closing, and agrees that such representations are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, such that the Company may rely on them in issuing the Shares. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below, or substantially equivalent legends, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares, together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by applicable state or federal securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERAS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, LOCK-UP PERIOD AND REPURCHASE OPTION ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
2
B. Stop-Transfer Notices. The Purchaser agrees that to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
C. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
D. Lock-Up Period. The Purchaser hereby agrees that the Purchaser shall not sell, offer, pledge, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or encumber, directly or indirectly, any Shares or other securities of the Company, nor shall the Purchaser enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Shares or other securities of the Company, during the period from the filing of the first subsequent registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), that includes securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act through the end of the 180-day period following the effective date of such registration statement (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto). The Purchaser further agrees, if so requested by the Company or any representative of its underwriters, to enter into such underwriter’s standard form of “lockup” or “market standoff” agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of any such restriction period. Provided, however, that this lock-up shall expire upon the two year anniversary of this Agreement.
E. Unreleased Shares. No Unreleased Shares subject to the Repurchase Option contained in Section 3 of this Agreement, nor any beneficial interest in such Shares, shall be sold, gifted, transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Purchaser, other than as expressly permitted or required by Section 3.
7. No Transfers. Before any Shares acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (or any beneficial interest in such Shares) may be sold, transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Purchaser or any subsequent transferee (each a “Holder”), such while such shares are subject to the Repurchase Option, such shares can only be transferred if:
A. Exception for Certain Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this section, the transfer of any or all of the Shares:
(1) if Holder is an entity, to any of its partners, affiliated venture capital funds, members or other equity owners, or retired partners, retired members or other equity owners, or to the estate of any of its partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners, retired members or other equity owners or any such person; or
(2) if Holder is an individual, during the Holder’s lifetime or on the Holder’s death by will or intestacy to (i) the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner; (ii) the Holder’s lineal descendants or antecedents, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews (including adoptive relationships and step relationships), and their spouses or domestic partners; (iii) the lineal descendants or antecedents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews of Holder’s spouse or domestic partner (including adoptive relationships and step relationships), and their spouses or domestic partners; and (iv) a trust or other similar estate planning vehicle for the benefit of the Holder or any such person
3
shall be exempt from the provisions of this section; provided that, in each such case, the transferee agrees in writing to receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to this section, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this section; and provided further, that without the prior written consent of the Company, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Company, no more than three transfers may be made pursuant to this section, including all transfers by the Holder and all transfers by any transferee. For purposes of this Agreement, a person will be deemed to be a “domestic partner” of another person if the two persons (1) reside in the same residence and plan to do so indefinitely, (2) have resided together for at least one year, (3) are each at least 18 years of age and mentally competent to consent to contract, (4) are not blood relatives any closer than would prohibit legal marriage in the state in which they reside, (5) are financially interdependent, as demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and (6) have each been the sole spouse equivalent of the other for the year prior to the transfer and plan to remain so indefinitely; provided that a person will not be considered a domestic partner if he or she is married to another person or has any other spouse equivalent.
A. Deposit. As security for the faithful performance of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with a stock power in the form of Exhibit B attached to this Agreement, executed by the Purchaser (with the date and number of Shares left blank), to the Secretary of the Company or to another designee of the Company (the “Escrow Agent”). These documents shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and the Purchaser set forth in Exhibit C attached to this Agreement, which instructions are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, and which instructions shall also be delivered to the Escrow Agent after the Closing.
B. Rights in Escrow Shares. Subject to the terms hereof, the Purchaser shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares. If, from time to time during the term of the Company’s Repurchase Option, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the Shares, (ii) any dividend of cash or other property on the Shares, or (iii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or cash or other consideration to which the Purchaser is entitled by reason of the Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares shall immediately become subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Agent and included thereafter as “Shares” for purposes of this Agreement and the Company’s Repurchase Option.
9. Tax Consequences. 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 is relying 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 any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser understands that Section 83 of the Code, taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” includes the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the IRS within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. THE FORM FOR MAKING THIS SECTION 83(B) ELECTION IS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AS EXHIBIT D AND THE PURCHASER (AND NOT THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS) SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROPRIATELY FILING SUCH FORM, EVEN IF THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENTS TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PURCHASER’S BEHALF.

10. General Provisions.
A. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of Nevada.
B. Integration. This Agreement, including all exhibits hereto, represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Purchaser and supersedes and replaces any and all prior written or oral agreements regarding the subject matter of this Agreement.

F. Waiver. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement.

5
G. Purchaser Investment Representations and Further Documents. The Purchaser agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or reasonably desirable in the view of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement, including (but not limited to) the applicable exhibits and attachments to this Agreement.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares, I, the undersigned purchaser, represent to the Company as follows:
1. The Company may rely on these representations. The Purchaser understands that the Company’s sale of the shares to the Purchaser has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), because the Company believes, relying in part on the Purchaser’s representations in this document, that an exemption from such registration requirement is available for such sale. The Purchaser understands that the availability of this exemption depends upon the representations the Purchaser is making to the Company in this document being true and correct.
2. Purchasing for investment. The Purchaser is purchasing the shares solely for investment purposes, and not for further distribution. The Purchaser’s entire legal and beneficial ownership interest in the shares is being purchased and shall be held solely for the Purchaser’s account. The Purchaser is not a party to, and does not presently intend to enter into, any contract or other arrangement with any other person or entity involving the resale, transfer, grant of participation with respect to or other distribution of any of the shares. The Purchaser’s investment intent is not limited to its present intention to hold the shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under any applicable tax law, for a deferred sale, for a specified increase or decrease in the market price of the shares, or for any other fixed period in the future.
3. The Purchaser can protect its own interests. The Purchaser can properly evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the shares and can protect its own interests in this regard, whether by reason of its own business and financial expertise, the business and financial expertise of certain professional advisors unaffiliated with the Company with whom the Purchaser has consulted, or preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons.
4. The Purchaser is informed about the Company. The Purchaser is sufficiently aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the shares. The Purchaser has had opportunity to discuss the plans, operations and financial condition of the Company with its officers, directors or controlling persons, and has received all information the Purchaser deems appropriate for assessing the risk of an investment in the shares.
5. The Purchaser recognizes its economic risk. The Purchaser realizes that the purchase of the shares involves a high degree of risk, and that the Company’s future prospects are uncertain. The Purchaser is able to hold the shares indefinitely if required, and is able to bear the loss of its entire investment in the shares.
6. The Purchaser knows that the shares are restricted securities. The Purchaser understands that the shares are “restricted securities” in that the Company’s sale of the shares to it has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption for non-public offerings. In this regard, the Purchaser also understands and agrees that:
A. The Purchaser must hold the shares indefinitely, unless any subsequent proposed resale by it is registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available (such as Rule 144);
B. the Company is under no obligation to register any subsequent proposed resale of the shares by it; and
C. the certificate evidencing the shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the shares unless such transfer is registered.
7. The Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144. The Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act, which in some circumstances permits limited public resales of “restricted securities” like the shares acquired from an issuer in a non-public offering. The Purchaser understands that its ability to sell the shares under Rule 144 in the future is uncertain, and will depend upon, among other things: (i) the availability of certain current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale occurring more than a specified period after the Purchaser’s purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the shares; and (iii) if the Purchaser is an affiliate of the Company (A) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker, as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (B) the amount of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated in Rule 144, and (C) timely filing of a notice of proposed sale on Form 144, if applicable.
8. The Purchaser knows that Rule 144 may never be available. The Purchaser understands that the requirements of Rule 144 may never be met, and that the shares may never be saleable. The Purchaser further understands that at the time it may wish to sell the shares, there may be no public market for the Company’s stock upon which to make such a sale, or the current public information requirements of Rule 144 may not be satisfied, either of which would preclude the Purchaser from selling the shares under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
9. The Purchaser knows that it is subject to further restrictions on resale. The Purchaser understands that in the event Rule 144 is not available to it, any future proposed sale of any of the shares by it will not be possible without prior registration under the Securities Act, compliance with some other registration exemption (which may or may not be available). The Purchaser understands that although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has stated that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering or 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 transactions do so at their own risk.
2
10. Acknowledgement of tax liability due to the uncertain value of the shares. The Purchaser understands that the Board of Directors believes its valuation of the shares represents a fair appraisal of their worth, but that it remains possible that, with the benefit of hindsight, the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert that the value of the shares on the date of purchase is substantially greater than the Board’s appraisal. The Purchaser understands that any additional value ascribed to the shares by such an IRS determination will constitute ordinary income to it as of the purchase date, and that any additional taxes and interest due as a result will be the Purchaser’s sole responsibility payable only by it, and that the Company need not and will not reimburse the Purchaser for that tax liability.
11. Principal Place of Business. The address of the Purchaser’s principal place of business is set forth on the signature page below.
By signing below, the Purchaser acknowledges its agreement with each of the statements contained in this Investment Representation Statement as of the date first set forth above, and its intent for the Company to rely on such statements in issuing the shares to the Purchaser.
