SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 30, 2007, is
entered into by and among GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the purchasers listed on Schedule A attached hereto (individually,
a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).
WHEREAS, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Equity Raise Agreement”), dated
as of February 28, 2007, with the holders of its senior secured convertible notes (“Notes”)
and Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock pursuant to which the Company
agreed to sell at least $5 million of common stock in a private placement or public offering to
close no later than September 30, 2007 or call upon the commitment received from the Purchasers to
purchase an aggregate of $3 million of common stock on September 30, 2007;
WHEREAS, the Company conducted an offering in good faith and using commercially reasonable
efforts during the time period set forth in the Equity Raise Agreement but, after receiving a
market valuation of the offering, the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the offering was
not in the best interest of the company or its security holders; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to call upon the commitment received from the Purchasers to
purchase the Company’s common stock and the Purchasers desire to make an investment in the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Sale and Purchase.
a. | Upon the execution of this Agreement, each of the Purchasers agrees to subscribe for and purchase the amount of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A for the purchase price set forth therein. | ||
b. | The purchase price per Share shall be equal to the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on September 29, 2007 (the “Ten-Day Period”) on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg; provided, however, that if there are not reported trades on the OTC Bulletin Board during the Ten-Day Period, the purchase price shall equal $1.50, which is the price per share of the last reported sale of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board before the Ten-Day Period on September 13, 2007. | ||
c. | At the election of each Purchaser, the purchase price may be paid in cash, by delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of Notes held by such Purchaser in a principal amount equal to the purchase price due from such Purchaser, or a combination thereof. |
1
d. | Each Purchaser shall also receive, for no additional consideration, a warrant to purchase one share of common stock for each Share purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, at an exercise price equal to 120% of the purchase price paid for each Share, in the aggregate amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided, however, that no warrants shall be issued with respect to any portion of the common stock purchased by a Purchaser through the surrender of Notes. Each warrant will expire on the seventh anniversary of issuance. | ||
e. | The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby shall take place on Wednesday, October 3, 2007, by delivering a fully executed copy of this Agreement together with payment of the purchase price set forth in Schedule A in the form of either a personal check or wire transfer for any cash portion of the purchase price and the surrender of Notes with respect to such portion of the purchase price a Purchaser elects to pay through the surrender of Notes. |
Section 2. Representations of the Company. In connection with the issuance of the
Shares hereunder, the Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that:
a. | the Company is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; | ||
b. | the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any adverse claim; | ||
c. | the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or violate any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company; | ||
d. | the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other necessary action on the part of the Company; and | ||
e. | this Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. |
Section 3. Representations of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers represents and
warrants to the Company that:
a. | the Shares to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for its own account and not with a view to, or present intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or this Agreement; |
2
b. | such Purchaser is not participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Shares and will not take, or cause to be taken, any action that would cause such Purchaser to be deemed an “underwriter” of such Shares as defined in Section 2(11) of the Act; | ||
c. | such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Act; and | ||
d. | this Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser, will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms. |
Section 4. Transferability of Shares. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any
state. Each Purchaser agrees that the Shares may not be sold, offered for sale, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. Each Purchaser understands that any sale, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation, or other disposition of the Shares may require in some states specific approval by
the appropriate governmental agency or commission in such states.
Section 5. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof
shall be waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom any such waiver, modification, discharge or termination is sought.
