6.05 The Acquisition of D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock. D.W. Group
Technologies and Xxxxxxxx.xxx understand and agree that the consummation of this
Agreement including the issuance of the D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock to
Xxxxxxxx.xxx in exchange for the Xxxxxxxx.xxx shares as contemplated hereby,
constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and
applicable state statutes. D.W. Group Technologies and Xxxxxxxx.xxx agree that
such transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes that depend,
among other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are
acquired.
(a) In order to provide documentation for reliance upon exemption
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements for such
transactions, the signing of this Agreement and the delivery of
appropriate separate representations shall constitute the parties
acceptance of, and concurrence in, the following representations and
warranties:
(i) The Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders acknowledge that neither the
SEC nor the securities commission of any state or other federal
agency has made any determination as to the merits of acquiring D.W.
Group Technologies Common Stock, and that this transaction involves
certain risks.
(ii) The Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders have received and read the
Agreement and understand the risks related to the consummation of
the transactions herein contemplated.
(iii) Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders have such knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters that they are capable
of evaluating each business.
(iv) Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders have been provided with copies
of all materials and information requested by them or their
representatives, including any information requested to verify any
information furnished (to the extent such information is available
or can be obtained without unreasonable effort or expense), and the
parties have been provided the opportunity for direct communication
regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.
(v) All information which the Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders have
provided to D.W. Group Technologies or their representatives
concerning their suitability and intent to hold shares in D.W. Group
Technologies following the transactions contemplated hereby is
complete, accurate, and correct.
(vi) The Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders have not offered or sold
any securities of D.W. Group Technologies or interest in this
Agreement and have no present intention of dividing the D.W. Group
Technologies Common Stock or Xxxxxxxx.xxx Shares to be received or
the rights under this Agreement with others or of reselling or
otherwise disposing of any portion of such stock or rights, either
currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of
time or on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined
event or circumstance.
(vii) The Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders understand that the D.W.
Group Technologies Common Stock has not been registered, but is
being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the
Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for
transactions not involving any public offering and that any
disposition of the subject D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock may,
under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and
may make Xxxxxxxx.xxx or D.W. Group Technologies an "underwriter",
within the meaning of the Securities Act. It is understood that the
definition of "underwriter" focuses upon the concept of
"distribution" and that any subsequent disposition of the subject
D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock can only be effected in
transactions, which are not considered distributions. Generally, the
term "distribution" is considered synonymous with "public offering"
or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or general
advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a
distribution occurs when securities are sold into the public market,
under certain circumstances one must consider the availability of
public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the
securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell
the securities without registration first bear the economic risk of
their investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which
the stock holder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale,
thereby reducing the potential impact of the sale on the trading
markets. These criteria are set forth specifically in rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, and, after two years after the
date the D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock or Xxxxxxxx.xxx Shares
is fully paid for, as calculated in accordance with rule 144(d),
sales of securities in reliance upon rule 144 can only be made in
limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that
rule. After three years from the date the securities are fully paid
for, as calculated in accordance with rule 144(d), they can
generally be sold without mooting those conditions, provided the
holder is not (and has not been for the preceding three months) an
affiliate of the issuer.
(viii) The Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders acknowledge that the
shares of D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock, must be held and may
not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless
they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
Exemption from such registration is available. D.W. Group
Technologies is not under any obligation to register the D.W. Group
Technologies Common Stock under the Securities Act. If rule 144 is
available after two years and prior to three years following the
date the shares are fully paid for, only routine sales of such D.W.
Group Technologies Common Stock in limited amounts can be made in
reliance upon rule 144 in accordance with the terms and conditions
of that rule. D.W. Group Technologies is not under any obligation to
make rule 144 available except as set forth in this Agreement and in
the event rule 144 is not available, compliance with Regulation A or
some other disclosure exemption may be required before Xxxxxxxx.xxx
Stockholders can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such D.W.
Group Technologies Common Stock without registration under the
Securities Act. Subject to compliance with federal and state
securities laws, D.W. Group Technologies registrar and transfer
agent will maintain and stop transfer order against the registration
of transfer of the D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock held by
Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders and the certificates representing the D.W.
Group Technologies Common Stock will bear a legend in substantially
the following form so restricting the sale of such securities:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT") AND XXXX "REGISTRICTED SECURITIES" WITHIN
THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT.
(ix) Subject to compliance with federal and state securities
laws, D.W. Group Technologies may refuse to register further
transfers or resale's of the D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock in
the absence of compliance with rule 144 unless the Xxxxxxxx.xxx
Stockholders xxxxxxx X.X. Group Technologies with an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to D.W. Group Technologies stating
that the transfer is proper. Further, unless such opinion states
that the shares of D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock are free of
any restrictions under the Securities Act, D.W. Group Technologies
may refuse to transfer the securities to any transferee who does not
furnish in writing to D.W. Group Technologies the same
representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to
such D.W. Group Technologies Common Stock as set forth herein. D.W.
Group Technologies may also refuse to transfer the D.W. Group
Technologies Common Stock if any circumstances are present
reasonably indicating that the transferee's representations are not
accurate.
(b) In connection with the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, Xxxxxxxx.xxx and D.W. Group Technologies shall each file with
the assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such
notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may be deemed by
them to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document reliance on
such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the states
where the Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders reside unless an exemption requiring
no filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the
manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.
(c) In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as
provided herein, Xxxxxxxx.xxx, the Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders, and D.W.
Group Technologies shall execute and deliver to the other, at or prior to
the Closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment,
suitability, or the like as D.W. Group Technologies or Xxxxxxxx.xxx and
their respective counsel may reasonably request in connection with
reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities laws.
(d) The Xxxxxxxx.xxx Stockholders acknowledge that the basis for
relying on exemptions from registration or qualification are factual,
depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion
or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the
transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or
qualification.
6.06 D.W. Group Technologies Liabilities. Immediately prior to the Closing
Date, D.W. Group Technologies shall have no material assets and no liabilities
in excess of $1,000 and all expenses related to this Agreement or otherwise
shall have been paid.
6.07 Sales of Securities Under Rule 144, If Applicable.
(a) D.W. Group Technologies will use its best efforts to at all
times satisfy the current public information requirements of rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act so that its shareholders can sell
restricted securities that have been held for two years or more or such
other restricted period as required by rule 144 as it is from time to time
amended.
