--------------------
WHEREAS, the Company has sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized; and
WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase and the Company desires to sell to
the Buyer an aggregate of 10,000,000 of its Common Stock and the Warrants, such
purchase to be upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
I.
SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
1.1 Sale and Purchase of Shares. The Company hereby agrees to sell and
transfer to the Buyer 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company and the
Warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Buyer agrees to purchase
the Common Stock from the Company at a purchase price of $.05 per share ("Share
Price") or an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, payable via wire transfer
upon execution hereof.
1.2 Investment Intent and Legends. The Common Stock and underlying
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be resold unless the Common Stock and underlying securities
are registered under such Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Buyer represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Common
Stock and underlying securities for its own account for investment and not with
a view to the sale or distribution thereof. Each certificate representing such
securities will have a legend thereon incorporating language as follows:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The securities have
been acquired for investment and may not be sold or transferred in the absence
of an effective Registration Statement for the securities under the Act unless,
in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, registration is not
required by the Act."
1.3 Right of First Refusal. For a period of three (3) years from the date
hereof the Company agrees to provide the Buyer with the opportunity, on 30 days'
prior written notice, to participate on the same terms and conditions as any
other purchaser in connection with any private financing undertaken by the
Company.
1.4 Nomination of Directors, At the request of the Buyer, the Company
agrees to recommend to its stockholders and use its best efforts to have two (2)
individuals designated by the Buyer to be elected as directors of the Company.
In addition, Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxx shall have visitation rights to all Board of
Director and Committee meetings.
1.5 The Company shall distribute its internally prepared monthly financial
statements within 30 days of the previous month's end to the Buyer.
1.6 Cash disbursements over $5,000, except for vendor purchases, shall be
approved in advance by a Buyer's representative to be designated prior to
closing.
1.7 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (Exhibit X-0, X-0,
B-3) shall execute a Lock-Up Agreement to June 12, 2003.
1.8 In the event that the Company shall sell or issue any Common Shares or
Convertible Securities (including, without limitation, warrants, options, etc.)
at a per share price below the Share Price, the Share Price shall be immediately
and automatically reduced to such lower price and the number of Common Stock
purchased in the Agreement shall be proportionally increased, as to the same
economic benefit originally granted to the Buyer. (Example: 10,000,000 Shares at
$.05 per share would result in $500,000 to the Company. Should the Share Price
be reduced to say $.03 per share, then the number of shares to be issued would
then be increased to 16,666,667 "Price Protection".)
1.9 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx'x (the Company's CEO) Employment Contract shall be
extended for an additional two (2) years.
1.10 The Company shall obtain D&O Insurance within sixty (60) days of
closing by the Buyer.
