This Subscription Agreement, is made and entered into as of May 2, 2001 (this
"Agreement"), between Atrium Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
and The Xxxxxxx Company, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the "Subscriber").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company
desires to issue and sell to the Subscriber, 1,153,846 shares of Class A Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company, (subject to adjustment as
described below, the "Shares") at the purchase price of $1.30 per share (subject
to adjustment as described below, the "Price Per Share") or an aggregate
purchase price of $1,500,000 (the "Aggregate Purchase Price");
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and benefits to accrue
to the Company and the Subscriber and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. SUBSCRIPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and the
Company hereby accepts such subscription and agrees to issue and sell to the
Subscriber, the Shares, at the Price Per Share, for the Aggregate Purchase
Price.
2. ADJUSTMENT. In the event the Company issues shares of common stock
in an equity financing prior to June 30, 2001, then, to the extent the purchase
price per share of common stock issued in such financing is less than $1.30 per
share, the Price Per Share shall automatically and retroactively be adjusted to
such purchase price per share such that the Company shall be deemed to have
issued additional Shares as part of this subscription so that the adjusted Price
Per Share, when multiplied by the number of shares issued and deemed to be
issued to the Subscriber as part of this subscription equals the Aggregate
Purchase Price. In the event of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2, that
portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price in excess of the result of multiplying
the adjusted Price Per Share by the original number of Shares issued to the
Subscriber under this Agreement (i.e., excluding the shares deemed issued as per
this Section 2) shall be allocated to the additional Shares that shall have been
deemed to have been issued as part of this subscription, such that the Aggregate
Purchase Price shall be deemed to have been paid to purchase the entire number
of Shares at the adjusted Price per Share.
3. DELIVERIES. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall deliver to the
Subscriber a certificate representing the Shares, against payment of the
Aggregate Purchase Price by the Subscriber. In the event of an adjustment
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company
shall deliver to the Subscriber an additional certificate representing the
additional Shares referenced in said Section 2.
