Acquisition (unless otherwise specified), the
following:
a. Organization and
Qualification. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries is a corporation or other business entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its formation, and has the requisite corporate
power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now
being conducted. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good
standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the
extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing
would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, business,
financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of
the Company and its subsidiaries (in each case as described in the
Super 8-K) taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse
Effect”).
b. Authorization, Enforcement, Compliance
with Other Instruments. (i) The Company has
the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Notes, the Investor

of the other agreements and documents that are exhibits hereto or
thereto or are contemplated hereby or thereby or necessary or
desirable to effect the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(the “Transaction
Documents”) and to issue the Notes, the Warrants, the
Conversion Shares, and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof; (ii) the execution and delivery by the
Company of each of the Transaction Documents and the consummation
by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Units, Notes,
Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been, or will
be at the time of execution of such Transaction Document, duly
authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and no
further consent or authorization is, or will be at the time of
execution of such Transaction Document, required by the Company,
its Board of Directors or its stockholders; (iii) each of the
Transaction Documents will be duly executed and delivered by the
Company; and (iv) the Transaction Documents when executed will
constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies
and, with respect to any rights to indemnity or contribution
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, as such rights may
be limited by state or federal laws or public policy underlying
such laws.
c. Capitalization. The
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 290,000,000
shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Immediately before giving effect to the Acquisition and the Closing

set forth under “Pro Forma
Capitalization” in Schedule 4c. After giving
effect to the Acquisition: (i) no shares of capital stock of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries will be subject to preemptive
rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances
suffered or permitted by the Company; (ii) except for the Notes and
Warrants, there will be no outstanding options, warrants, scrip,
rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into,

subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or
may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) there will be no
outstanding debt securities of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries other than
the Notes (iv) other than pursuant to the Registration Rights

the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated to register the
sale of any of their securities under the Securities Act;
(v) there will be no outstanding comment letters from the SEC
or any other regulatory agency; (vi) there will be no securities or
instruments of the Company or any of its subsidiaries containing anti-dilution or
similar provisions, including the right to adjust the exercise,
exchange or reset price under such securities, that will be
triggered by the issuance of the Units; and (vii) no co-sale right,
right of first refusal or other similar right will exist with
respect to the Units or the issuance and sale thereof. Upon
request, the Company will make available to the Purchaser true and
correct copies of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as
in effect as of the Closing Date, and the Company’s By-laws,
as in effect as of the Closing Date, and the terms of all
securities exercisable for Common Stock and the material rights of
the holders thereof in respect thereto.
d. Issuance of Units, Notes and
Warrants. The Units, Notes and Warrants are duly
authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the
terms hereof, shall be duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and are free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof. The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
(collectively, the “Underlying
Shares”) have been duly authorized and reserved for
issuance, and upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with their terms, including payment of the
exercise price for the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable, and are free and clear from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.
e. No Conflicts. The
execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction
Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i)
result in a violation of the Articles of Incorporation or the
By-laws (or equivalent constitutive document) of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in
a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party,
except for those which would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including U.S. federal
and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the
Company or by which any property or asset of the Company or any
subsidiary is bound or affected, except for those which would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary is in violation of any term of or in
default under its Articles of Incorporation or By-laws or any other
constitutive documents. Except for those violations or defaults
which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in violation of
any term of or in default under any material contract, agreement,
mortgage, indebtedness, indenture, instrument, judgment, decree or
order or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company
or any subsidiary. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries
is not being conducted, and shall not be conducted in violation of
any law, ordinance, or regulation of any governmental entity,
except for any violation which would
not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically
contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws, neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with,
any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute,
deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance
with the terms hereof or thereof. Neither the execution and
delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, nor the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, will require any notice, consent or waiver under any
contract or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary is a
party or by which the Company or any subsidiary is bound or to
which any of their assets is subject, except for any notice,
consent or waiver the absence of which would not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material
Adverse Effect. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and
registrations which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
required to obtain pursuant to the preceding two sentences have
been or will be obtained or effected on or prior to the
Closing.
f. Absence of
Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim,
inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding (including any partial
proceeding such as a deposition) or investigation before or by any
court, public board, governmental or administrative agency,
self-regulatory organization, arbitrator, regulatory authority,
stock market, stock exchange or trading facility (an
“Action”)
now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened,
against or affecting the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers or
directors, which would be reasonably likely to (i) adversely affect
the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of
the Company to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents, or (ii) have a Material Adverse
Effect. For the purpose of this Agreement, the knowledge of
the Company means the knowledge of the officers of the Company (for
the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the Acquisition) and
Sincerity Australia (both actual or knowledge that they would have
had upon reasonable investigation).
g. Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchaser’s Purchase of the Units. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is
acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any
Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in
connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchaser’s
purchase of the Units.
h. No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Affiliates, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any person acting
on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general
solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Units.
“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any person, any other person that, directly
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such
terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (“Rule
144”). With respect to a Purchaser, any investment
fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by
the same investment manager as such Purchaser will be deemed to be
an Affiliate of such Purchaser.
i. No Integrated
Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Affiliates, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any person acting
on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would require registration of
the Units, Notes or Warrants under the Securities Act or cause this
offering of Units to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of the Securities Act.
j. Employee
Relations. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary
is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, is any such dispute threatened. Neither the Company nor
any subsidiary is party to any collective bargaining agreement. The
Company’s and/or its subsidiaries’ employees are not
members of any union, and the Company believes that its and its
subsidiaries’ relationship with their respective employees is
good.
k. Intellectual Property
Rights. After giving effect to the Acquisition,
the Company and each of its subsidiaries owns, possesses, or has
rights to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct
of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses as
now conducted, except as such failure to own, possess or have such
rights would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Intellectual
Property shall mean all patents, patent applications, trade
and service marks, trade and service xxxx registrations, trade
names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, domain
names, technology and know-how.
l. Environmental
Laws.
(i)
The Company and each subsidiary has complied with
all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below), except for
violations of Environmental Laws that, individually or in the
aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened civil or criminal litigation,
notice of violation, formal administrative proceeding, or
investigation, inquiry or information request, relating to any
Environmental Law involving the Company or any subsidiary, except
for litigation, notices of violations, formal administrative
proceedings or investigations, inquiries or information requests
that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Environmental
Law” means any national,
state, provincial or local law, statute, rule or regulation or the
common law relating to the environment or occupational health and
safety, including without limitation any statute, regulation,
administrative decision or order pertaining to (i) treatment,
storage, disposal, generation and transportation of industrial,
toxic or hazardous materials or substances or solid or hazardous
waste; (ii) air, water and noise pollution; (iii) groundwater and
soil contamination; (iv) the release or threatened release into the

contaminants, toxic or hazardous materials or substances or oil or
petroleum products or solid or hazardous waste. As used above, the
terms “release”
and “environment”
shall have the meaning set forth in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended.
(ii)
To
the knowledge of the Company there is no material environmental
liability with respect to any solid or hazardous waste transporter
or treatment, storage or disposal facility that has been used by
the Company or any subsidiary.
(iii)
The
Company and its subsidiaries (i) have received all permits,
licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses except to
the extent that the failure to have such permits, licenses or other
approvals would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) are in
compliance, in all material respects, with all terms and conditions
of any such permits, licenses or approvals.
m. Authorizations;
Regulatory Compliance. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries holds, and is operating in compliance with, all
authorizations, licenses, permits, approvals, clearances,
registrations, exemptions, consents, certificates and orders of any
governmental authority and supplements and amendments thereto
(collectively, “Authorizations”)
required for the conduct of its business and all such
Authorizations are valid and in full force and effect and neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in material violation of
any terms of any such Authorizations, except, in each case, such as
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received
written notice of any revocation or modification of any such
Authorization, except to the extent that any such revocation or
modification would not be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is in
compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign
laws, regulations, orders and decrees, including such laws and
regulations applicable to import and export, except as would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has received written notice of any ongoing claim,
action, suit, proceeding, hearing, enforcement, investigation,
arbitration or other action from any Governmental Authority or
third party alleging that any product operation or activity is in
material violation of any healthcare laws or Authorizations.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received
written notice that any governmental authority has taken, is taking
or intends to take action to limit, suspend, modify or revoke any
healthcare laws or Authorizations. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries has filed, obtained, maintained or submitted all
reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims,
submissions and supplements or amendments thereto as required by
any or Authorizations and that all such reports, documents, forms,
notices, applications, records, claims, submissions and supplements
or amendments were complete, correct and not misleading on the date
filed (or were corrected or supplemented by a subsequent
submission). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, initiated, conducted, or
issued or caused to be initiated, conducted or issued, any recall,
safety alert, or other notice or action relating to any alleged
product defect or violation and, to the Company’s knowledge,
no third party has initiated or conducted any such notice or
action. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party
to any corporate integrity agreement, deferred prosecution
agreement, monitoring agreement, consent decree, settlement order,
or similar agreements, or has any reporting obligations pursuant to
any such agreement, plan or correction or other remedial measure
entered into with any Governmental Authority.
n. Title. Neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries owns any real property. Each of
the Company and its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to
all of its personal property and assets, free and clear of any
restriction, mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, security
interest or other charge, claim or encumbrance which would have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 4n, with respect to
properties and assets it leases, each of the Company and its
subsidiaries is in compliance with such leases and holds a valid
leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances which
would have a Material Adverse Effect.
o. No Material Adverse Effects,
etc. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is
subject to any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in
the judgment of the Company’s officers has had, or is
reasonably expected in the future to have, a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither Company nor any subsidiary is in breach of any
contract or agreement which breach, in the judgment of the
Company’s officers, has had, or is reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
p. Tax Status. The
Company and each subsidiary has made and filed (taking into account
any valid extensions) all federal and state income and all other
tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction
to which it is subject (except in any case in which the failure to
so file would not have a Material Adverse Effect) and (unless and
only to the extent that the Company or such subsidiary has set
aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment
of all unpaid and unreported taxes) has paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges shown or determined to be due
on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being
contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or
declarations apply or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
To the knowledge of the Company, there are no unpaid taxes in any
material amount claimed to be due from the Company or any
subsidiary by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the
officers of the Company know of no basis for any such
claim.
q. Certain
Transactions. Except for arm’s length
transactions pursuant to which the Company or any subsidiary makes
payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less
favorable than it could obtain from third parties, none of the
officers, directors, or employees of the Company or any subsidiary
is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any
subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such
employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation,
partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director,
or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer,
director, trustee or partner. All transactions that would be
required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to Item 404 of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act are disclosed
in the SEC Reports in accordance with Item 404 or in the Super
8-K.
r. Rights of First
Refusal. The Company is not obligated to offer
the securities offered hereunder on a right of first refusal basis
or otherwise to any third parties including, but not limited to,
current or former stockholders of the Company, underwriters,
brokers, agents or other third parties.
s. Insurance. The
Company and its subsidiaries have insurance policies of the type
and in amounts customarily carried by organizations conducting
businesses or owning assets similar to those of the Company and its
subsidiaries. There is no material claim pending under any such
policy as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed
by the underwriter of such policy.
t. SEC Reports. The
Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and
other documents required to be filed by the Company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange
Act”), including pursuant to Section 15(d) thereof (or
that it would have been required to file by Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act if its duty to file thereunder had not been
automatically suspended) (collectively, together with the Super
8-K, the “SEC
Reports”) for the two (2) years preceding the date
hereof (or such shorter period since the Company was first required
by law or regulation to file such material). To the Company’s
knowledge, the draft Super 8-K furnished to each Purchaser prior to
the Closing will not materially deviate from the Super 8-K. The
Super 8-K complies, and the other SEC Reports at the time they were
filed complied, in all material respects with the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder. There are no
contracts, agreements or other documents that are required to be
described in the SEC Reports and/or to be filed as exhibits thereto
that are not described, in all material respects, and/or filed as
required. There has not been any material change or amendment to,
or any waiver of any material right under, any such contract or
agreement that has not been described in and/or filed as an exhibit
to the SEC Reports.
u. Financial

and Warrants, respectively.
gg. CKR Investors. One or more
Purchasers introduced by CKR Law LLP (“CKR”),
the pre-Acquisition principal stockholder of and corporate and
securities counsel to the Company shall have the right to invest up
to $250,000 in the Offering. Such Purchasers must be approved by
Sincerity Australia in advance, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
5. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of
the Purchaser. The Purchaser, severally and not
jointly with any other Purchaser, represents and warrants to, and
agrees with, the Company the following:
a. The Purchaser has
the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of its prospective
investment in the Company, and has carefully reviewed and
understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the
purchase of Units, Notes and Warrants (and, as applicable, the
underlying Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) and the tax
consequences of the investment, and has the ability to bear the
economic risks of the investment. The Purchaser can afford the loss
of its entire investment.
b. The Purchaser is
acquiring the Units, Notes and Warrants (and, as applicable, the
underlying Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) for investment for
its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution thereof. The Purchaser
understands and acknowledges that the Offering and sale of the
Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws, by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The
Purchaser further represents that it does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to
any of the Units, Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the
Offering of the Units will not be registered under the Securities
Act nor under the state securities laws on the ground that the sale
of the Units to the Purchaser as provided for in this Agreement and
the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws. The Purchaser is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as
promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, for the reason(s)
specified on the Accredited Investor
Certification attached hereto as completed by Purchaser, and
Purchaser shall submit to the Company such further assurances of
such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
The Purchaser resides in the
jurisdiction set forth on the Purchaser’s Omnibus Signature
Page affixed hereto. The Purchaser has not taken any of the actions
set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification
provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act.
c. The Purchaser (i)
if a natural person, represents that he or she is the greater of
(A) 21 years of age or (B) the age of legal majority in his or her
jurisdiction of residence, and has full power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements
or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof;
(ii) if a corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated
organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units, such entity
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized
by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter
or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other
related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions
hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Units, Notes and
Warrants, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been
duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if
executing this Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity,
represents that it has full power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the
subscribing individual, xxxx, partnership, trust, estate,
corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other
entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Agreement, and such
individual, partnership, xxxx, trust, estate, corporation, or
limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full
right and power to perform pursuant to this Agreement and make an
investment in the Company, and represents that this Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be
in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or
controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which
it is bound.
d. The Purchaser understands that the Units are being
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of,
and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such
Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability
of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire
such securities. The Purchaser further acknowledges and
understands that the Company is relying on the representations and
warranties made by the Purchaser hereunder and that such
representations and warranties are a material inducement to the
Company to sell the Units to the Purchaser. The Purchaser further
acknowledges that without such representations and warranties of
the Purchaser made hereunder, the Company would not enter into this
Agreement with the Purchaser.
e. The Purchaser
understands that no public market exists for the Units, Notes or
Warrants and that a limited public market presently exists for the
Common Stock and that there can be no assurance that an active
public market for the Common Stock will exist in the future. The
Common Stock is presently approved for quotation on OTC Markets.
The Company makes no representation, warranty or covenant with
respect to the continued quotation of the Common Stock on the OTC
Markets quotation or listing on any other market or
exchange.
f. The Purchaser has
received, reviewed and understood the information about the
Company, including all Disclosure Materials, and has had an
opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and
financial affairs with the Company’s management. The
Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any
Disclosure Materials provided by the Company, were intended to
describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects
and the Offering which the Company believes to be material, but
were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and
except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes
no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of
such information and makes no representation or warranty of any
kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other
than the Company. Some of such information may include projections
as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may
not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be
correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the
Company’s control. Additionally, the Purchaser understands
and represents that it is purchasing the Units notwithstanding the
fact that the Company may disclose in the future certain material
information the Purchaser has not received, including (without
limitation) financial statements of the Company and/or Sincerity
Australia for the current or prior fiscal periods, and any
subsequent period financial statements that will be filed with the
SEC, that it is not relying on any such information in connection
with its purchase of the Units and that it waives any right of
action with respect to the nondisclosure to it prior to its
purchase of the Units of any such information. Each Purchaser has
sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
its acquisition of the Units.
g. The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company is not acting as a financial advisor
or fiduciary of the Purchaser (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and no investment advice has been
given by the Company, or any of its representatives or agents in
connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Purchaser further represents
to the Company that the Purchaser’s decision to enter into
the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent
evaluation by the Purchaser and its representatives.
h. As of the Closing,
all actions on the part of Purchaser, and its officers, directors
and partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Security Agreement and the performance of all
obligations of the Purchaser hereunder and thereunder shall have
been taken, and this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement,
and the Security Agreement assuming due execution by the parties
hereto and thereto, constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other
equitable remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
generally relating to or affecting creditors’
rights.
i. Purchaser
represents that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any person or
entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with it,
nor any person having a beneficial interest in it, nor any person
on whose behalf the Purchaser is acting: (i) is a person listed in
the Annex to Executive Order No. 13224 (2001) issued by the
President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property
and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to
Commit, or Support Terrorism); (ii) is named on the List of
Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by
the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control; (iii) is a non-U.S.
shell bank or is providing banking services indirectly to a
non-U.S. shell bank; (iv) is a senior non-U.S. political figure or
an immediate family member or close associate of such figure; or
(v) is otherwise prohibited from investing in the Company pursuant
to applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset
control laws, regulations, rules or orders (categories (i) through
(v), each a “Prohibited
Purchaser”). The Purchaser agrees to provide the
Company, promptly upon request, all information that the Company
reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable
U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control laws,
regulations, rules and orders. The Purchaser consents to the
disclosure to U.S. regulators and law enforcement authorities by
the Company and its Affiliates and agents of such information about
the Purchaser as the Company reasonably deems necessary or
appropriate to comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering,
anti-terrorist and asset control laws, regulations, rules and
orders. If the Purchaser is a financial institution that is subject
to the USA Patriot Act, the Purchaser represents that it has met
all of its obligations under the USA Patriot Act. The Purchaser
acknowledges that if, following its investment in the Company, the
Company reasonably believes that the Purchaser is a Prohibited
Purchaser or is otherwise engaged in suspicious activity or refuses
to promptly provide information that the Company requests, the
Company has the right or may be obligated to prohibit additional
investments, segregate the assets constituting the investment in
accordance with applicable regulations or immediately require the
Purchaser to transfer the Units and underlying securities. The
Purchaser further acknowledges that the Purchaser will have no
claim against the Company or any of its Affiliates or agents for
any form of damages as a result of any of the foregoing
actions.
If the
Purchaser is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a
“Foreign
Bank”), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from,
makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial
transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents
and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed
address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in
which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities;
(2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its
banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection
by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct
banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide
banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a
physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated
Affiliate.
The
Purchaser or its duly authorized representative realizes that
because of the inherently speculative nature of businesses of the
kind conducted and contemplated by the Company, the Company’s
financial results may be expected to fluctuate from month to month
and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high
degree of financial and market risk that could result in
substantial or, at times, even total losses for investors in
securities of the Company. The Purchaser has carefully read the
risk factors and other information (including the financial
statements of Sincerity Australia) included in the Super 8-K. The
Purchaser has carefully considered such risk factors before
deciding to invest in the Units.
j. The Purchaser has
adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated
financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the economic
risk for an indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity
of the investment in the Units and could afford a complete loss of
such investment.
k. The Purchaser is
not subscribing for Units as a result of or subsequent to any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in
any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television, radio, or the internet, or presented at any seminar or
meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not
previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in
securities generally.
l. The Purchaser
acknowledges that no U.S. federal or state agency or any other
government or governmental agency has passed upon the Notes or made
any finding or determination as to the fairness, suitability or
wisdom of any investments therein.
m. Other than
consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser
has not directly or indirectly, nor has any individual or entity
acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such
Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales,
of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of
the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written
or oral) from the Company or any other individual or entity
representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to
the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of
a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby
separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct
knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets,
the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to
the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made
the investment decision to purchase the Units covered by this
Agreement. Other than to other individuals or entities party to
this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality
of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction
(including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or
preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the
availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in
order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Short
Sales” means all “short sales” as defined
in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not
be deemed to include the location and/or reservation of borrowable
shares of Common Stock).
n. The Purchaser
agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the
Registration Rights Agreement and Security Agreement and to perform
all obligations thereby imposed upon it.
o. The Purchaser is
aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the
Exchange Act may apply to sales of the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares and other activities with respect to the Conversion
Shares by the Purchaser.
p. All of the
information concerning the Purchaser set forth herein, and any
other information furnished by the Purchaser in writing to the
Company or a Placement Agent for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, is true, correct and
complete in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement,
and, if there should be any material change in such information
prior to the admission of the undersigned to the Company, the
Purchaser will promptly furnish revised or corrected information to
the Company.
q. (For ERISA plans only) The
fiduciary of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(“ERISA”)
plan (the “Plan”)
represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands
the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies,
and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such
term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the
provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and
impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or
Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company;
(b) is independent of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (c) is
qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such
decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily
on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its
Affiliates.
6. Transfer Restrictions. The
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees as follows:
a. The Units, Notes
and Warrants, including the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares,
have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act, in
reliance on the private offering exemption in Section 4(a)(2)
thereof; other than as expressly provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company does not currently intend to register
the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the Securities Act
at any time in the future; and the undersigned will not immediately
be entitled to the benefits of Rule 144 with respect to the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.
b. The Purchaser
understands that there are substantial restrictions on the
transferability of the Units, Notes and Warrants and that the
certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form
(and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such
certificates or other instruments):
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES
ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER SUCH
SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED,
ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) AN EXEMPTION
FROM SUCH REGISTRATION EXISTS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED,
ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (3) SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
In
addition, if any Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company,
certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
issued to such Purchaser may bear a customary
“Affiliates” legend.
The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue
a certificate without such legend to the holder of Conversion
Shares or Investor Warrant Shares, as applicable, upon which it is
stamped, if (a) such Conversion Shares or Investor Warrant
Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act, or (b) such holder delivers to the Company an
opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that a
disposition of the Conversion Shares or Investor Warrant Shares, as
applicable, is being made pursuant to an exemption from such
registration and that the Conversion Shares or Investor Warrant
Shares, after such transfer, shall no longer be “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144.
c. Each
Purchaser understands that the Company is and immediately prior to
the closing of the Acquisition will be a “shell
company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and
upon filing with the SEC of the Super 8-K reporting the
consummation of the Acquisition and related transactions and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and otherwise
containing “Form 10 information” as discussed below,
the Company will reflect therein that it is no longer a shell
company. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or
former shell company that otherwise meet the holding period and
other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in
reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Company (a)
is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form
10 information“ (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC
reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that
at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required
to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the issuer was required to file such reports and
materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends
on certificates for the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares cannot
be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the
foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration
statement.
7. Covenants.
a. Best
Efforts. Each party
shall use its best efforts timely to satisfy each of the conditions
to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections
8
and 9 of this Agreement.
b. Form
D. The Company
agrees to file a Form D with respect to the offer and sale of the
Units as required under Regulation D. The Company shall take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to

the Subscribers at the Initial Closing and each subsequent Closing

“Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States and
foreign jurisdictions, as applicable.

shall have sold all of Subscriber’s Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares, the Company

reports, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a
timely manner) all reports required to be filed with the SEC
pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the regulations of the SEC
thereunder, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an
issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the
Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would
otherwise permit such termination.
d. Use of Proceeds. The
Company shall use the net
proceeds from the sale of the Units (after deducting fees and
expenses (including legal fees and expenses and fees payable to the
Escrow Agent)) for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
e. Listings or
Quotation. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of its
Common Stock upon the OTCQB tier of the OTC
marketplace.

representations and warranties of the Company and the Subscriber
contained in Sections
4 and 5
shall survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months.
The covenants contained in Sections 7 and 18 shall survive for the
maximum period permitted by law. Each Subscriber shall be
responsible only for its own representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants hereunder.
8. Conditions to Company’s Obligations at
Closing. The Company’s obligation to
complete the sale and issuance of the Units and deliver the Units
and underlying securities to each Purchaser, individually, at the
Initial Closing and each subsequent Closing shall be subject to the
following conditions to the extent not waived by the
Company:
a. Receipt of
Payment. The Company shall have received payment,
by certified or other bank check or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the full amount of the purchase price for the
number of Units being purchased by such Purchaser at the applicable

made by the Purchaser in Section 5 hereof shall be true
and correct in all material respects when made, and shall be true
and correct in all material respects on such Closing Date with the
same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said
date (except in each case to the extent any such representation and
warranty is qualified by materiality, in which case, such
representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all
respects as so qualified). The Purchaser shall have performed in
all material respects all obligations and covenants herein required
to be performed by it on or prior to such Closing
Date.
c. Receipt of Executed
Documents. Such Purchaser shall have executed and
delivered to the Company the Omnibus Signature Page, the Purchaser

post-Acquisition key employees agreed to by the Company and
Sincerity Australia, if any, (c) all post-Acquisition shareholders
of the Company holding Common Stock representing 5% or more of the
Company’s outstanding Common Stock (each a

Period”), whereby they will agree to certain
restrictions on the sale or disposition (including pledge) of all
of the Company’s Common Stock held by (or issuable to) them,
excluding any shares purchased by them in the Offering. The
lock-ups will contain customary transfer exceptions.
In
addition, each Restricted Holder shall agree that they will not,
for a period of 12 months following the Initial Closing Date,
directly or indirectly, effect or agree to effect any short sale
(as defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act),
whether or not against the box, establish any “put equivalent
position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange

Purchasers.
a. The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents
(and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or
any other title), each person who controls such Purchaser (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20
of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other persons with
a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such
controlling person, from and against all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or
threatened) based upon or arising out of the Company’s actual
or alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or
misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact, or breach
by the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Company,
contained herein or in any other Disclosure Materials; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to
the extent and only to the extent that any such loss, liability,
claim, damage, cost, fee or expense arises out of or is based upon
the inaccuracy of any representations made by such indemnified
party in this Agreement, or the failure of such indemnified party
to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein. The
liability of the Company under this paragraph shall not exceed the
total Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser hereunder, except in the
case of fraud.
b. Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the
commencement of any Action, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section
10, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 10. In case any such Action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent
that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such Action include both the indemnified party
and the indemnifying party and either (i) the indemnifying party or
parties and the indemnified party or parties mutually agree or (ii)
representation of both the indemnifying party or parties and the
indemnified party or parties by the same counsel is inappropriate
under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or
potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the
defense of such Action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such
Action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section
10 for any
reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i)
the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in connection
with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the
proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel in such circumstance),
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the
Action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the
employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of
the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the
prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or
threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such Action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such Action, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of
any such Action effected without its written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its
written consent or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in
any such Action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
11. Revocability; Binding
Effect. The subscription hereunder may be revoked
prior to the Closing thereon, provided that written notice of
revocation is sent and is received by the Company at least one
Business Day prior to the Closing on such subscription. The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall
survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives
and permitted assigns. If the Purchaser is more than one person,
the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be joint and
several and the agreements, representations, warranties and
acknowledgments herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding
upon each such person and such person’s heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted
assigns.
12. Modification. This Agreement
shall not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes. Any amendment,
modification or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 12 shall be
binding upon the Purchaser and each transferee of the Shares, each
future holder of all Notes and Conversion Shares, and the
Company.
13. Immaterial Modifications to the Registration
Rights Agreement and Security Agreement. The
Company may, at any time prior to the Closing, amend the
Registration Rights Agreement and/or Security Agreement if
necessary to clarify any provision therein, without first providing

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act
The USA
PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in
the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money
laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial
institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been
required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering
programs.
To help
you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some
information about money laundering and our steps to implement the
USA PATRIOT Act.
What is money laundering?
Money
laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so
that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or
activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide
variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking,
robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
How big is the problem and why is it important?
The use
of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism
or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According
to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount
of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a
year.
What are we required to do to eliminate money
laundering?
Under
rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering
program must designate a special compliance officer, set up
employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish
policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction
and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required
program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents
or other information. Until you provide the information or
documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions
for you.
