SHARE TRANSFER AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT
January 11, 2007
National Datacomputer, Inc.
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Share Transfer Authorization Agreement (this "Agreement") dated as
the date first written above, is by and between National Datacomputer, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and the undersigned subscribing investor
(the "Investor"). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the
Investor hereby authorizes the Company to take such steps as are necessary to
transfer to the Investor those number of shares of the Company's Common Stock,
$.08 par value per share received from CapitalBank AG via Xxxxx Industries, Inc.
as set forth below for the purchase price of $.0197764 per share for 20,226,157
shares (the "Shares").
In connection with the execution of this Agreement and to induce the
Company to effect the transfer of the Shares, the Investor hereby represents,
warrants and agrees as follows:
1. Subscription. Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees
to purchase the Shares (the Shares being hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Securities"). The obligations of the Investor in connection with the
purchase of the Securities shall be complete and binding upon his, her or its
execution of this Agreement and tender of payment to the Company of the Purchase
Price, subject only to the acceptance of the subscription by the Company. The
Investor either has executed and delivered or agrees to execute and deliver to
the Company (i) two copies of this Agreement, executed by the Investor and (ii)
any other documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to satisfy any
applicable securities laws. Upon acceptance by the Company of this subscription
the Company will deliver to the Investor one countersigned original of this
Agreement, executed by the Company.
2. Terms of Offering. The Investor has thoroughly read and understands
this Agreement.
3. Payments; Closings. The Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to the
Company in consideration of the purchase of the Securities, which amount shall
accompany this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that such payment will be
offset against the wire delivery of funds
previously provided by the Investor. Such funds will be returned to the
undersigned as soon as practicable, without interest, penalty, expense or
deduction if this Subscription Agreement is not accepted by the Company or the
offering is terminated pursuant to these terms or by the Company.
3. Accredited Investor Status.
_____ The Investor is not an Accredited Investor, as such term is
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").
_____ The Investor is an "Accredited Investor" as such term is defined
in Regulation D under the Act, for the following reason (PLEASE INITIAL ONE OR
MORE):
____ The Investor's individual income was in excess of $200,000 in
each of the past two years, or the Investor's joint income with
his or her spouse was in excess of $300,000 in each of those
years, and the Investor reasonably expects his or her income to
reach the same level in the current year.
____ The Investor's individual net worth or joint net worth with his
or her spouse exceeds $1,000,000.
____ The Investor is a trust, corporation or partnership with total
assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific
purpose of acquiring the Securities, whose purchase of the
Securities will be directed by a person whose knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters is such that he or
she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment in the Securities.
____ The Investor is an entity in which all of the equity owners are
Accredited Investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Act).
____ The Investor is none of the above and is not an Accredited
Investor.
4. Experience and Suitability. The Investor is qualified by his, her or
its knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the
merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and to make an informed
decision relating thereto. The Investor has the financial capability for making
the investment and protecting his, her or its interests, and the Investor can
afford a complete loss of the investment. The investment is a suitable one for
the Investor.
5. No Need for Liquidity. The Investor is aware that he, she or it will
be unable to liquidate this investment readily in case of an emergency and that
the Securities being purchased may have to be held for an indefinite period of
time. The Investor's overall commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not excessive in view of the Investor's net worth and financial
circumstances and the purchase of the Securities will not cause such commitment
to become excessive. The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of this
investment.
2
6. Opportunity to Investigate. Prior to the execution of this
Agreement, the Investor's advisors and the Investor have had the opportunity to
ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction, and the finances,
operations, business and prospects of the Company, as well as to review all
prior SEC filings made by the Company. The Investor and the Investor's advisors
have also had the opportunity to obtain additional information necessary to
verify the accuracy of information furnished about the Company. Accordingly, the
Investor has independently evaluated the risks of purchasing the Securities and
the Investor is satisfied that it has received information with respect to all
matters which the Investor considers material to the Investor's decision to make
this investment.
7. Risk Factors. The Investor has carefully considered the potential
risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities. The Investor
fully understands that the Company has incurred significant losses and has
limited working capital, and, as a result, the purchase of the Securities
involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor's entire investment. The
Investor is familiar with the general risks of investment in companies such as
the Company. The Investor understands that the Company is subject to all of such
risks, and to all of the risks inherent in any effort. Among others, the
Investor has considered each of the following risks regarding an investment in
the Company and the Securities:
(a). SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT. This is a speculative investment.
Many of the factors which may affect the Company are subject to change
or are not within the control of the Company, and the extent to which
such factors could adversely affect the value of the Securities is not
currently ascertainable. These factors include the limited operations
and revenue of the underlying business.
(b). CAPITAL NEEDS. As of the date hereof, the Company has
only limited capital with which to operate. The Company anticipates
using funds from the sale of the Shares and certain promissory notes
issued to officers and directors but which will automatically convert
to Shares upon approval by the Company's shareholders for the
Company's working capital purposes. The Company may require additional
equity capital within the next twelve months and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds or
that such funds will be available on terms and conditions which will
permit a reasonable rate of return to current investors in the
Company. When the Company requires additional future financing, there
is no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially
reasonable terms, if at all.
(c). NO BROKER-DEALER OR UNDERWRITER. The Securities are being
sold without the participation of a broker-dealer or underwriter.
Accordingly, any protection that would otherwise be available to
investors of the Securities because of the participation of a
broker-dealer or underwriter is not present in this offering.
(d). ABSENCE OF LIQUIDITY. The Shares are not registered under
the Act and are subject to resale limitations under Rule 144. The
Shares must therefore be held for an indefinite period of time unless
subsequently registered or unless an exemption from
3
registration is available. Only a limited trading market for the
Company's Common Stock is in existence at this time and it may not
develop into an active trading market.
Accordingly, an investment in the Company cannot be expected
to be readily liquid.
(e). OTHER RISK FACTORS.. The Company is subject to a number
of risks which are described in the Company's SEC filings and
incorporated herein.
(f). CONTROL. Entities controlled by Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will
hold in excess of 50% of the Common Stock now and are expected to
continue to own a substantial majority of the voting control of the
Company for the foreseeable future. As a result of this concentration
of ownership, these entities will have the ability to elect a majority
of the directors of the Company and determine all aspects of the
Company's operations and transactions, subject only to the fiduciary
duties imposed on such persons, and the voting rights available to the
holders of any securities issued by the Company under applicable law
and the Company's charter documents.
8. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to you that each of the following is true and correct:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND STANDING. The Company is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The Company is qualified to do business in The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts and in any other jurisdiction where the failure to so
qualify may adversely affect its business. The Company has full power
and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, and to
carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be
conducted, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to sell and issue
the Securities hereunder and to carry out and perform its obligations
hereunder.
(b) AUTHORIZATION. All action on the part of the Company
necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Company, the authorization, sale, issuance
and delivery of the Shares, and the performance of all of the
Company's obligations hereunder has been or will have been duly taken
by the time of the Closing. This Agreement, when executed and
delivered by the Company, shall constitute a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
The Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
will be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than restrictions
imposed by applicable securities laws.
(c) LITIGATION, ETC. There are no actions, suits or
proceedings or investigations pending against the Company or its
properties before any court or governmental agency (nor, to the
Company's knowledge, is there any reasonable basis therefor or threat
thereof).
(d) CONSENTS, ETC. No consent, approval, license or
authorization of any court or governmental authority, any party to a
material contract or any other person or entity is required in
connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, or
the
4
offer, sale or issuance of the Securities or the consummation of any
other transaction contemplated hereby.
(e) OFFERING. Subject to the accuracy of your representations
in this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities to
be issued in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, constitute
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of
the Securities Act.
9. Investment Purpose.
(a) The Investor is acquiring the Securities for his, her or
its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to,
or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, nor with
any present intention of distributing or selling the Securities. The
Investor understands that the Securities Shares have not been
registered under the Act or the securities laws of any state, and
hereby agrees not to make any sale, transfer or other disposition of
any of the Securities unless either (i) the Securities first shall
have been registered under the Act and all applicable state securities
laws, or (ii) an exemption from such registration is available, and
the Company has received such documents and agreements from the
Investor and the transferee as the Company requests at such time. The
Securities will bear the legends set forth below.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENTS COVERING THE
PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE
OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF
THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE
COMPANY.
10. No Regulatory Approval of Merits. The Investor understands that
neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor the commissioner or
department of securities or attorney general of any state has passed upon the
merits or qualifications of, nor recommended nor approved, the Securities. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
11. Independent Advice. The Investor understands that the Investor is
urged to seek independent advice from the Investor's professional advisors
relating to the suitability for the Investor of an investment in the Company in
view of the Investor's overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and
tax implications of such an investment.
12. Indemnification. Each party hereto understands the meaning and
legal consequences of this Agreement and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the other party and
5
its directors and officers from and against any and all loss, damage or
liability due to or arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty or
agreement of such party contained in this Agreement.
13. Authority and Noncontravention. The execution and performance
hereof violates no order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling
document to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound. If
an organization, (i) the Investor is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it has been formed;
(ii) the Investor has the right and power under its organizational instruments
to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder; and (iii) this
Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of all
officers, directors, partners, stockholders and trustees and will not violate
any agreement to which the Investor is a party; and (iv) the individual
executing and delivering this Agreement has the requisite right, power, capacity
and authority to do so on behalf of the organization.
14. Duration. The Investor understands that the Investor may not
cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement or any agreement made by the Investor
hereunder and that this Agreement shall survive the Investor's death or
disability and shall be binding upon the Investor's heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns.
15. Further Assurances. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a written
request from the Company, the Investor agrees to provide such information and to
execute and deliver such documents as reasonably may be necessary to comply with
any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject.
