Dear
Xx.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
The
undersigned (the “Subscriber”) hereby agrees to subscribe to purchase upon the
terms and conditions set forth below, 3,450,000 shares of the no par value
common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Petramerica Oil, Inc., a U.S. Colorado
corporation (the “Company”), for $.80 per share. The subscription price will be
paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified
in
writing by the Company. The subscription will take place as soon as practicable
following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section
9 of
this Agreement (other than those conditions to be satisfied at the closing)
(such date of subscription, the “Subscription Date”).
1. General
Representations
- The
Subscriber acknowledges and represents as follows:
(a) The
Subscriber has received and carefully reviewed all of the Company’s public
filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including
the Company’s Current Report on Forms 8 K filed with the SEC on July 14, July 26
and August 1, 2006; and in particular the financial statements of the Company
contained in its July 14, 2006 Form 8 K and the Risk Factors of the Company
set
forth in the Company August 1, 2006 Form 8 K.
(b) The
Subscriber has been given full access to information regarding the Company,
has
had the opportunity to meet with Company’s officers and to review all the
documents that Subscriber may have requested, and has utilized such access
for
the purpose of obtaining all information the Subscriber deems necessary for
the
purposes of making an informed investment decision and to verify the accuracy
and completeness of the information provided to Subscriber;
(c) The
Subscriber understands that (i) the purchase of the Common Stock is a highly
speculative investment in an early stage company with negligible assets and
revenue and significant losses and such investment involves a high degree of
risk; (ii) the Company may need additional financing in the future; (iii) the
Company has made no statements whatever concerning the present or prospective
value of the Common Stock; and (iv) there is an extremely limited market for
the
Company’s Common Stock and the current value of the Company’s Common Stock on
the Electronic Bulletin Board does not necessarily represent the true value
of
the Common Stock.
1
(d) The
Subscriber has obtained, to the extent he or she deems necessary, personal
professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in an investment in
the
Common Stock and the suitability of such investment in light of the Subscriber’s
personal financial condition and investment needs. Unless the Subscriber has
otherwise advised the Company in writing, the Subscriber did not employ the
services of a purchaser representative, as defined in Regulation D under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in connection with this
investment;
(e) The
Subscriber (i) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective
investment in the Common Stock, (ii) is experienced in making investments which
involve a high degree of risk, (iii) is sophisticated in making investment
decisions, and (iv) can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Common
Stock, including the total loss of such investment;
(f) The
Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the purchase of the Common Stock is a long-term
investment, (ii) he or she must bear the economic risk of the investment for
an
indefinite period of time because the Common Stock has not been registered
under
the Act or applicable state laws and, therefore, the Common Stock cannot be
sold
unless it is subsequently registered under the Act and such state laws or
exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) there is only a limited
public market for the Common Stock and the Subscriber may not be able to
liquidate his or her investment in the event of an emergency, or pledge the
Common Stock as collateral security for loans, and (iv) the transferability
of
the Common Stock is restricted and (A) requires conformity with the restrictions
contained in paragraph 2 below, and (B) will be further restricted by a legend
placed on the certificate(s) representing the Common Stock stating that the
Common Stock has not been registered under the Act and applicable state laws
and
referencing the restrictions on transferability of the Common Stock.
2. No
Registration Under U.S. Securities Laws; Registration Rights
(a) The
Subscriber has been advised that the Common Stock is not being registered under
the Act or state securities laws pursuant to exemptions from the Act and such
laws, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part
on the representations of the Subscriber contained herein. The Subscriber
represents and warrants that the Common Stock is being purchased for the
Subscriber’s own account and for investment without the intention of reselling
or redistributing the same, provided that the Subscriber does not agree to
hold
the Common Stock for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right
to dispose of it at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or exemption under applicable law. The Subscriber further represents
and agrees that, if, contrary to the foregoing intentions, there should ever
be
a desire to dispose of or transfer any of such Common Stock in any manner,
the
Subscriber shall not do so without first obtaining (a) an opinion of counsel
suitable to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer lawfully
may
be made without registration pursuant to the Act, and applicable state
securities laws or (b) such registrations (including by way of registration
pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Subscriber may assign the Common Stock, in whole or in part,
to
its management, affiliates, owners or the family members of such owners or
to
Chart Group, L.P. without any such opinion if the Subscriber and such assignee
can demonstrate that the assignee can make the representations in Section 4
and
such other representations in this Agreement reasonably necessary to demonstrate
to the Company that such assignment may be made without registration pursuant
to
the Act.
2
(b) At
any
time after the six month anniversary of the Subscription Date, the Subscriber
may request that the Company effect the registration under the Act of all or
part of the Common Stock (a “Demand Registration”). Within 10 days after receipt
of any such request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall give written
notice of such request to all other holders of common stock issued on the date
hereof and shall include in such registration the shares of common stock of
such
other holders that have requested for inclusion therein within 15 days after
the
receipt of the notice from the Company. Subscriber shall be entitled to one
Demand Registration. A registration will not count as one Demand Registration
if
the ultimate registration is not effective, whether due to a failure to file
or
maintain a registration or if the transaction is not consummated by the Company.
Subscriber agrees that it will not sell, transfer, gift or hypothecate, directly
or indirectly, under such Demand Registration any of the Common Stock until
the
first anniversary of the Subscription Date.
(c) If
at any
time the Company proposes to register shares of common stock of the Company
under the Act (except under Forms S-4 and S-8) the Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Subscriber of its intention to register such shares and
shall include in such registration on the same terms as the Company and other
persons selling securities in connection with such registration the Common
Stock
requested by the Subscriber to be included within 15 days after the receipt
of
the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Subscriber shall be
entitled to withdraw all or any part of the Common Stock from a Piggyback
Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such registration.
(d)
All
expenses of the Company in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback
Registration (each, a “Registration”) shall be paid by the Company. The Company
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted
by
law, the Subscriber and its affiliates and each officer, director, officer,
member, partner, employee and agent against all losses, claims, liabilities,
damages, judgments, settlements and expenses (including but not limited to
reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue
or
alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof or any omission
or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or any violation of any state
of
federal securities laws, except as the same are made in reliance and in
conformity with information relating to the Subscriber furnished in writing
to
the Company by the Subscriber expressly for use therein.
(e)
The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect any
Registration as soon as practicable. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of any Registration until
the second anniversary of the Closing Date. During any Registration, the Company
will enter into a customary underwriting agreement, if applicable, that will
afford such protections to the Subscriber as would typically be available to
it
in similarly situated transactions.
3
(f) The
holders of any shares of common stock issued in respect of the Warrants (as
defined herein) shall also have the rights to effect a Registration granted
under this Section 2, to register such shares and the other rights granted
under
this Section and the holders of such shares shall be express third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement.

of Domicile
- The
Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber is a bona fide resident
of, and is domiciled in, the state or country so designated on the signature

8. Company
Representations
The
Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber as follows:
6
(a) The
Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Colorado. The execution and delivery
by
the Company of this subscription agreement and letter of investment intent
(this
“Agreement”) and the performance of its obligations hereunder has been duly
authorized by all necessary actions of the board of directors, shareholders,
or
other duly authorized acting body or person on behalf of the Company. This
Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and is a legal, valid, and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or at equity).
(b) All
of
the Common Stock to be issued to the Subscriber hereunder and the shares of
common stock to be issued in exchange for certain warrants paid as a placement
fee in connection with the sale of the Common Stock (the “Warrants), when issued
and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be free
of
any liens or encumbrances other than liens and encumbrances created by or
imposed upon the Subscriber and free of restrictions on transfer other than
the
restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and applicable state and federal
securities laws. The sale of the Common Stock is not subject to any preemptive
rights or rights of first refusal. The Company has 20,000,000 shares of
authorized capital stock, of which approximately 19,500,000 shares of common
stock are issued and outstanding. Accordingly, Subscriber understands that
the
Common Stock subscribed for herein cannot be issued to the Subscriber until
the
Company’s authorized shares are increased to 100,000,000, which is scheduled to
be approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 17, 2006, pursuant to a
notice of special meeting and proxy statement mailed to the Company’s
stockholders on July 31, 2006 (such approval, the “Stockholder Approval”). Other
than the shares of common stock referred to in the previous sentence, the shares
of common stock to be issued pursuant to an agreement entered on the date hereof
and the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the Warrants, a copy
of
which has been provided to the Subscriber, the Company has no other shares
of
capital stock, except 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock described in the
Company’s August 1, 2006 Form 8 K which are convertible into Common Stock as
described in the Company August 1, 2006 Form 8 K and 1,800,000 shares issuable
to two investor relations firms upon approval of the increase in authorized
shares described above. Following the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder, the Company’s capital stock shall consist solely of
100,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, of which approximately
45,000,000 shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding. Other than
the
Warrants to be issued on the Subscription Date, the Company has no other
outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights
and rights of first refusal) or agreements of any kind for the purchase or
acquisition from the Company of any securities. The Company, however, reserves
the right to issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future upon such
terms and for such purchase prices as it determines in its sole discretion.
(c) No
form
of general solicitation or general advertising was used by the Company or its
representatives in connection with the offer or sale of the Common Stock or
the
Warrants. Based in part upon and subject to the representations of the
Subscriber in this Agreement, the Common Stock and the Warrants will be issued
in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and the
offer, sale and issuance of the Common Stock and the Warrants are exempt from
registration under the Act. Other than the filing of a Form D pursuant to
Regulation D of the Act, which filing shall be made within 15 days of the
Subscription Date and the filing of Form 8-K announcing the transaction, which
filing shall be made promptly following the Subscription Date, no other filing,
notice or registration is required in connection with the sale of the Common
Stock or the Warrants under applicable federal and state securities laws. The
Company has not taken and will not take any action that will cause the Common
Stock or the Warrants to lose such exemption from registration.
7
(d) The
Company has made all filings, reports and registrations (collectively, the
“Reports”) with the SEC as required by applicable law and all such Reports are
in compliance in all material respects with applicable law. The Reports do
not
contain any untrue statement of material fact or any omission of a material
fact
required to be stated therein necessary to make the statements contained therein
not misleading.
(e) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants does not and will not result in any
violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage
of
time and giving of notice, either a default under (i) the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company, (ii) any provision of any material
mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order
or
writ to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (iii) any material
provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company.
