EXHIBIT 10.12
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of January__, 2005
by and between Astrata Group Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
and _____________, an individual (the "Subscriber").
WHEREAS, the Company and the Subscriber are executing and delivering this
Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from securities registration afforded by
the provisions of Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and/or Regulation D ("Regulation D") as promulgated by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under
the 1933 Act; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions contained herein, the Company shall issue and sell to the Subscriber,
as provided herein, and the Subscriber shall purchase _______ Units of the
Company's securities (individually, a "Unit"; collectively, the "Units"), each
Unit consisting of one share (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock,
$0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") and one common stock purchase warrant
(collectively, the "Warrants"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, for a
per-Unit purchase price of $5.25 and an aggregate purchase price of $__________
(the "Aggregate Purchase Price"), which shall be payable to the Company on the
Closing Date, as defined in Section 1 hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other
agreements contained in this Agreement the Company and the Subscriber hereby
agree as follows:
1. CLOSING. Subject to (a) the truth and accuracy as of the date
hereof and on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the
Company and the Subscriber, (b) compliance with the covenants and undertakings
of the Company set forth in this Agreement, (c) the non-occurrence of any
default by the Company of its obligations and undertakings contained in this
Agreement, and (d) the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Subscriber shall purchase from the
Company and the Company shall sell to the Subscriber the Units, as designated
above and on the signature page hereto. On the Closing Date, the Company will
deliver the Units to the Subscriber. The "Closing Date" shall be the date that
the Subscriber's funds representing the net amount due the Company from the
Aggregate Purchase Price are transmitted by wire transfer or otherwise to or for
the benefit of the Company.
2. ALLOCATION BETWEEN SHARES AND WARRANTS. In accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, the Company will
allocate the Aggregate Purchase Price between the Shares and the Warrants based
on their relative estimated fair values. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Company has allocated $5.00 of the per-Unit purchase price to the Shares and
$0.25 thereof to the Warrants. This allocation may or may not be the allocation
that the Company ultimately reports on its balance sheet. The Company may
utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or some other method of
estimation and allocation.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model considers (i) the exercise
price of the Warrants relative to the reassessed value of the Company's Common
Stock during the period prior to the commencement of market-makers quoting the
Company's Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, which prior period includes
the date of this Agreement, (ii) the expected stock price volatility, (iii) the
risk-free interest rate, and (iv) the dividend yield. If the Company uses the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the reassessed value of the underlying
Common Stock will be based on assumptions of matters that are inherently highly
uncertain and subjective. As there has been no public market for the Company's
-1-
Common Stock prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company's assumptions
about stock-price volatility would be based on the volatility rates of
comparable publicly held companies. These rates may or may not reflect the
Company's stock-price volatility after quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board
commences. If the Company were to make different assumptions about the
reassessed value of the Common Stock or stock-price volatility rates, the
allocation of value between the Shares and the Warrants, as reported on the
Company's balance sheet, could be significantly different.
However, determined, the allocated amounts will be presented in the
"Additional Paid-in Capital - Equity" and "Additional Paid-in Capital -
Warrants" line items on the Company's, February 28, 2005, condensed audited
consolidated balance sheet and further described in various of the Notes to its
Condensed Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

other agreement entered into by the Company and the Subscriber relating hereto.
(c) In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber or
permitted successor hereunder or under any other agreement delivered in
connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net
proceeds actually received by the Subscriber upon the sale of Registrable
Securities (as defined herein) giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(d) The procedures set forth in Section 11.5 shall apply to the
indemnifications set forth in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) above.
11.1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company hereby grants the following
registration rights to holders of the Shares, the Warrants, and the Warrant
Shares.
(i) On one occasion, for the three-year period commencing on the
120th day following the Closing Date (the "Request Date"), the Company, upon a
written request therefor from any record holder or holders of more than 50% of
the Shares shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
under the 1933 Act registering the Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively,
the "Registrable Securities") that are the subject of such request for
unrestricted public resale by the holders thereof. For purposes of Sections
11.1(i) and 11.1(ii), Registrable Securities shall not include Shares or Warrant
Shares that are registered for resale in an effective registration statement or
included for registration in a pending registration statement, or that have been
issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant
to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. Upon the receipt of such request, the Company
shall promptly give written notice to all other persons who have been granted
registration rights by the Company in respect of its securities ("Other
Registrable Securities") that such registration statement is to be filed and
-10-
shall include in such registration statement Other Registrable Securities for
which it has received written requests within ten (10) days after the Company
gives such written notice.
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its
securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own
account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with
respect to Registration Statements on Forms X-0, X-0, or another form not
available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by
the Subscriber or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each
such time it will give at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to the
record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the
written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days
after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the
Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such
Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to
be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement
proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the
sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the
holder of such Registrable Securities (the "Seller" or "Sellers"). In the event
that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in
part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by
the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the
underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would
adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company
therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing
of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company may
withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any Registration Statement referred to in
this Section 11.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.
(iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is
received by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(i), the Company has determined
to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement
under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of
any of its securities for the Company's own account and the Company actually
does file such other Registration Statement, such written request shall be
deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 11.1(ii) rather than Section
11.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such
written request shall be governed by Section 11.1(ii).
(iv) Subject to the 1933 Act, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder by the Commission, and interpretations thereof by the
Commission, not later than 120 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall
file (the actual date of such filing, the "Actual Filing Date") with the
Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or SB-2 or on such other form
that it is then eligible to use (the "Registration Statement") and thereafter
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to
be declared effective (such date of effectiveness, the "Effective Date"), in
order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under
the 1933 Act. The Company will register not less than a number of shares of
Common Stock in the aforedescribed Registration Statement that is equal to all
of the Shares and Warrant Shares issued, or issuable, to the Actual Filing Date.
The Registration Statement will immediately be amended or additional
registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company as necessary to
register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all
Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities.
-11-
11.2. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is required
by the provisions of Subsections 11.1(i), (ii), or (iv) to effect the
registration of any shares of Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the
Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) subject to the timelines, if any, provided in this Agreement,
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement required by
Section 11, with respect to such securities and use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for
the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein
provided), and promptly provide to the holders of Registrable Securities copies
of all filings and Commission letters of comment;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective
until such registration statement has been effective for a period of two (2)
years, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement in accordance with the Sellers' intended method of disposition set
forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Sellers, at the Company's expense, such number
of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request
in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
the Sellers' Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under
the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall
request in writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) if applicable, list the Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common
Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Sellers when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the happening of any
event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus
contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing; and
(g) provided same would not be in violation of the provision of
Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers,
and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or
underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
-12-
11.3. PROVISION OF DOCUMENTS. In connection with each registration
described in this Section 11, each Seller will furnish to the Company in writing
such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the
proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure
compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
11.4. EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky"
laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer
taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, and costs of insurance are called
"Registration Expenses." All underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and
disbursements of any additional counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling
Expenses." The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 11. Selling Expenses in connection with
each registration statement under Section 11 shall be borne by the Seller and
may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold
by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
11.5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities
under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent
permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the
Seller, each director of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable
Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of
Section 11.5(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to
the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the
Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the
Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of
the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages
arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller, or
any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable
Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but
not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
-13-
meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration
statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who
controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such
officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to
such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller
specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to
the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party other than under this Section 11.5(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 11.5(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying
party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof
with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and
undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 11.5(c) for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel
so selected; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party
reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying
party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one
separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate
in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i)
a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.5 but it is judicially determined
(by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction
and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal)
-14-
that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the
fact that this Section 11.5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or
controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is
not provided under this Section 11.5; then, and in each such case, the Company
and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities
offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such registration statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in
any such case, (A) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it
pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the 0000
Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
11.6. DELIVERY OF UNLEGENDED SHARES.
(a) Within five (5) business days (such fifth business day, the
"Unlegended Shares Delivery Date") after the business day on which the Company
has received (i) a notice that Registrable Securities have been sold either
pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a
representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of
Rule 144, as applicable, have been satisfied, and (iii) the original share

(iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144 customary representation letters of the
Subscriber and Subscriber's broker regarding compliance with the requirements of
Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (A) shall deliver, and shall cause legal
counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to its transfer agent (with copies
to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, for the
delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legends set
forth in Sections 4(e) and 4(f) above, issuable pursuant to any effective and
current registration statement described in Section 11 of this Agreement or
pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (the "Unlegended Shares"); and (B) cause
the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together
with a legended certificate representing the balance of the unsold shares of
Common Stock, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice
of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before
the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. Transfer fees shall be the responsibility
of the Seller.
(b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the
Unlegended Shares, if the Company's transfer agent is participating in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program,
upon request of a Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a
legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of
Subscriber's prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date.
