Acceptance or
Rejection.
|
|
(a)
|
The
Subscriber understands and agrees that the Issuer reserves the right to
reject this subscription for the Offered Securities in whole or in part in

best interest of the Issuer, notwithstanding prior receipt by the

3.
|
Subscriber
Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber hereby
acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Issuer and
its respective affiliates as
follows:
|
|
(a)
|
The
Subscriber is acquiring the Offered Securities for the Subscriber’s own
account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes
only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or
fractionalization thereof in whole or in part and no other person has a
direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Offered
Securities. Further, the Subscriber does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or
grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect
to any of the Offered Securities.
|
|
(b)
|
The
Issuer has made available to the Subscriber various offering materials
relating to the Issuer, and the Offered Securities, including, without
limitation, the Issuer’s Private Placement Memorandum dated June 30, 2010
(the “Memorandum”), and the Subscriber has had the opportunity to review
the Memorandum, including the information set forth therein under the
caption “Item IX. Risk Factors” incorporated
therein.
|
|
(c)
|
The
Subscriber acknowledges the Subscriber’s understanding that the offering
and sale of the Offered Securities is intended to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the
provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation
D”). In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and
warrants to and agrees with the Issuer, and its respective affiliates as
follows:
|
|
(i)
|
The
Subscriber realizes that the basis for the Regulation D exemption may not
be present, if, notwithstanding such representations, the Subscriber has
in mind merely acquiring any of the Offered Securities for a fixed or
determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if
the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such
intentions;
|
|
(ii)
|
The
Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the
Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for the
Subscriber’s current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for
liquidity with respect to the Subscriber’s investment in the Issuer;
and
|
2
|
(iii)
|
The
Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment. If other than an individual, the
Subscriber also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of
acquiring the Offered Securities.
|
|
(d)
|
The
Subscriber represents and warrants to the Issuer as
follows:
|
|
(i)
|
If
an individual, the Subscriber is 21 years of age or over; if a
corporation, trust, limited liability company, partnership, unincorporated
association or other entity, such Subscriber is authorized, empowered, and
qualified to execute and deliver this Agreement and other transaction
documents to which such Subscriber is a party and to purchase and hold the
Offered Securities pursuant hereto;
and
|
|
(ii)
|
The
Subscriber has been given the opportunity for a reasonable time prior to
the date hereof to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Issuer
or its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the
Offering, and other matters pertaining to this investment, and has been
given the opportunity for a reasonable time prior to the date hereof to
obtain such additional information in connection with the Issuer in order
for the Subscriber to evaluate the merits and risks of purchase of the
Offered Securities, to the extent the Issuer possesses such information or
can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
The
Subscriber has determined that the Offered Securities are a suitable
investment for the Subscriber and that at this time the Subscriber can
bear a complete loss of the Subscriber’s investment;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
The
Subscriber realizes that it may not be able to resell readily any of the
Offered Securities purchased hereunder because (A) there may only be a
limited market, if any exists, for any of the Offered Securities and (B)
none of the Offered Securities has been registered under the “blue sky”
laws; and
|
|
(v)
|
The
Subscriber understands that the Issuer has the absolute right to refuse to
consent to the transfer or assignment of the Offered Securities if such
transfer or assignment does not comply with applicable state and federal
securities laws; and
|
|
(vi)
|
No
representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the
Issuer, or any officer, employee, agent, affiliate or subsidiary of the
Issuer, other than the representations of the Issuer in this Agreement;
and
|
3
|
(vii)
|
Any
information which the Subscriber has heretofore furnished to the Issuer
with respect to the Subscriber’s financial position and business
experience is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement;
and
|
|
(viii)
|
The
foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall survive the
sale of the Securities and acceptance by the Issuer of the Subscriber’s
subscription.
|
(e)
|
Confidential
Treatment.
|
|
(i)
|
The
Subscriber acknowledges that it has and will receive Confidential
Information (as defined below) of significant value to the Issuer in
connection with the purchase and ownership of the Offered Securities. The
Subscriber shall at all times keep documents or other materials containing
Confidential Information in a secure place, shall not use the Confidential
Information for any purpose other than the evaluation of its investment in
the Issuer, except as otherwise agreed to in a writing signed by the
Issuer and shall not disclose any of the Confidential Information in any
manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any person for any reason or
purpose whatsoever except (A) if such Subscriber is required by a court of
competent jurisdiction to so disclose after notice has been given to the
Issuer and the Issuer has had an opportunity to oppose such disclosure or
seek a protective order to the extent practicable, (B) to employees and
representatives of such Subscriber, if any, who need to know such
information in connection with such Subscriber's investment in the Issuer
(“Necessary Agents”), provided that the Subscriber shall have informed
each such Necessary Agent of the confidential nature of such information
and obtained their agreement (the “Necessary Agent Confidentiality
Agreement”) to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and
not to use it for any purpose other than as permitted hereunder and shall
ensure the performance by each Necessary Agent of such Necessary Agent
Confidentiality Agreement.

ANNEX A
ACCREDITED
INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
A
|
APPLICABLE TO INDIVIDUALS
ONLY. Please answer the following questions concerning
your financial condition as an “accredited investor” (within the meaning
of Rule 501 of Regulation D). If the Investor is more than one
individual, each individual must initial an answer where the question
indicates a “yes” or “no” response, indicating to which individual it
applies. The Investor must answer “yes” in response to question
1, 2 or 3 below to be considered an “accredited investor.” If
the Investor is purchasing jointly with his or her spouse, one answer may
be indicated for the couple as a
whole:
|
|
1.
|
Does
your net worth*, or joint net worth with your spouse, exceed
$1,000,000?
|
|
Yes______ No______
|
|
2.
|
Did
you have an individual income ** in excess of $200,000, or joint income
together with your spouse in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most
recent years (2008 and 2009) and do you reasonably expect to reach the
same income level in the current year
(2010)?
|
V.
|
Yes______ No______
|
|
3.
|
Are
you an executive officer or director of Colombia Clean Power & Fuels,
Inc.?
|
VI.
|
Yes______ No______
|
*
|
For
purposes hereof net worth shall be deemed to include ALL of
your assets, liquid or illiquid, other than the value of your
primary residence, MINUS any
liabilities.
|
**
|
For
purposes hereof the term “income” is not limited to “adjusted gross
income” as that term is defined for federal income tax purposes, but
rather includes certain items of income which are deducted in computing
“adjusted gross income.” For investors who are salaried
employees, the gross salary of such investor, minus any significant
expenses personally incurred by such investor in connection with earning
the salary, plus any income from any other source including unearned
income, is a fair measure of “income” for purposes hereof. For
investors who are self-employed, “income” is generally construed to mean
total revenues received during the calendar year minus significant
expenses incurred in connection with earning such
revenues.
