Company, par value $0.001 per share of the Company (the “Shares”), and warrants
(the “Warrants”) exercisable to purchase 1 share of common stock of the Company
at an exercise price of $0.15 per share and in accordance with the terms set

Company reserves the right to increase or decrease this number.
2. Agreement
to Sell and Purchase the Units.
2.1At
each
Closing (as defined in Section 3 of this Annex
I),
the
Company will sell to the Investor, and the Investor will purchase from the
Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the number
of
Units, if applicable, set forth in Section 3 of the Signature Page to the
Securities Purchase Agreement at the purchase price set forth thereon.
2.2The
Company may enter into the same form of Securities Purchase Agreement
("Agreements"), including these Terms and Conditions, with certain other
investors (the “Other Investors”) and expects to complete sales of Units to
them. The Investor and the Other Investors are hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as the “Investors.”
3. Delivery
of the Shares at Closing.
The
completion of the purchase and sale of the Units (the “Closing”) shall occur at
the offices of the Company’s counsel upon receipt of cleared funds and fully
executed documents for the purchase of the Units on each date set by the
Company, provided that a closing shall occur no later than March 31, 2007,
which
date may be extended by the Company at the sole discretion of the Company for
a
period of thirty (30) days. Within seven (7) days after each Closing, the
Company shall deliver to the Investor one or more stock certificates
representing the number of Shares and a Warrant representing the number of
shares of common stock as set forth in Section 3 of the Signature Page to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, each such certificate, certificates or warrant
to
be registered in the name of the Investor, as set forth in Section 3 of the
Signature Page to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The
Company’s obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant to the Investor shall be
subject to the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived
by

or
wire transfer of funds in the full amount of the purchase price for the Units
being purchased hereunder as set forth in Section 3 of Signature Page to the
Securities Purchase Agreement; and (b) the accuracy of the representations
and
warranties made by the Investors and the fulfillment of those undertakings
of
the Investors to be fulfilled prior to the Closing.
The
Investor’s obligation to purchase the Units shall be subject to the following
conditions, any one or more of which may be waived by the Investor: (1) the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein shall be true
and
correct as of the Closing Date in all material respects and (2) the Investor
shall have received such documents as such Investor shall reasonably have
requested in connection with its due diligence.
4. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Company.
The
Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Investor,
as
follows:
4.1
Organization.
The
Company is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the
laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Company has full power and
authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business
as presently contemplated and is registered or qualified to do business and
in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
by it or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such
qualification and where the failure to be so qualified would have a material
adverse effect upon the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business
or business prospects, properties or operations of the Company (a “Material
Adverse Effect”), and no proceeding has been instituted in any such
jurisdiction, revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit
or
curtail, such power and authority or qualification.
-2-
4.2
Due
Authorization and Valid Issuance.
The
Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Agreement, and the Agreement has been duly authorized
and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal,
valid
and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution
may
be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying
such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and
contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). No further
approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors of
the
Company or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Units. The
Shares
and the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of
the
Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) being purchased by the Investor hereunder will,
upon issuance and payment therefore pursuant to the terms hereof, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.
4.3
Non-Contravention.
The
execution and delivery of the Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Units
under the Agreement, the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (A) conflict
with
or constitute a violation of, or default under, (i) any material bond,
debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness, lease, contract, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement
or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties
are
bound, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the
Company, or (iii) any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order
of any
court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to
the
Company or its properties, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) for
any
such conflicts, violations or defaults which are not reasonably likely to
have a
Material Adverse Effect or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any
lien,
encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any
of the
material properties or assets of the Company or an acceleration of indebtedness
pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any material
bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any material
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to
which
the Company is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of
the
material property or assets of the Company is subject.
4.4
Capitalization.
As of
November 9, 2006 there were 8,265,019 shares of the Company's common stock
issued and outstanding. The Company has no other securities outstanding and
the
Company has not issued any capital stock since that date. Except as set forth
herein or contemplated by documents filed by the Company with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the
"Exchange Act"), since the end of its most recently completed fiscal year
through the date hereof (the Exchange Act Documents), there are no other
outstanding rights (including, without limitation, preemptive rights), warrants
or options to acquire, or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for,
any
unissued shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Company
or any
contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement of any kind
to
which the Company is a party or of which the Company has knowledge and relating
to the issuance or sale of any capital stock of the Company, any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or any such rights, warrants or options.
4.5
Legal
Proceedings.
There
is no material legal or governmental proceeding pending or, to the knowledge
of
the Company, threatened to which the Company is or may be a party or of which
the business or property of the Company is subject that is not disclosed
in the
Exchange Act Documents.
4.6
No
Violations.
The
Company is not in violation of its charter, bylaws, or other organizational
document, or in violation of any law, administrative regulation, ordinance
or
order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority
applicable to the Company, which violation, individually or in the aggregate,
would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or is in default
(and there exists no condition which, with the passage of time or otherwise,
would constitute a default) in any material respect in the performance of
any
bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness in any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust or any other material agreement or instrument to
which
the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which the
properties of the Company are bound, which would be reasonably likely to
have a
Material Adverse Effect.

5. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.
5.1
The
Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that:
(i)
the Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D
under the Securities Act and the Investor is also knowledgeable, sophisticated
and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect
to
investments in shares presenting an investment decision like that involved
in
the purchase of the Units, including investments in securities issued by
the
Company and investments in comparable companies, and has requested, received,
reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed
decision to purchase the Units; (ii) ) the Investor has carefully read and
fully
understands the risks involved with an investment in the Company including,
without limitation, the risks identified on Annex
II, attached
hereto, (iii) the Investor is acquiring the number of Units set forth in
Section
3 of the Signature Page to the Securities Purchase Agreement in the ordinary
course of its business and for its own account for investment only and with
no
present intention of distributing any of such Units or any arrangement or
understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Units;
(iv) the Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase
or
otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Units except in compliance
with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (v) all of the representations
made by the Investor are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof
and
will be true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date; (vi) the Investor
will notify the Company immediately of any change in any of such information
until such time as the Investor has sold all of its Shares or Warrant Shares
or
until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement
effective; and (vii) the Investor has, in connection with its decision to
purchase the number of Units set forth in Section 3 of the Signature Page
to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, relied only upon the Exchange Act Documents
and
the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. The Investor
understands that its acquisition of the Units, Shares and Warrant Shares
has not
been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under
any
state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which
exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
Investor’s investment intent as expressed herein. There are no suits, pending
litigation, or claims against the undersigned that could materially affect
the
net worth of the Investor.
5.2
The
Investor acknowledges that it has had access to the Exchange Act Documents
and
has carefully reviewed the same. The Investor further acknowledges that the
Company has made available to it the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive
answers from the Company's officers and directors concerning the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the business and financial condition of
the
Company, and the Investor has received to its satisfaction, such information
about the business and financial condition of the Company and the terms and
conditions of the Agreement as it has requested. The Investor has carefully
considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of
the
Units, and fully understands that the Units are speculative investments,
which
involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor’s entire investment. Among
others, the undersigned has carefully considered each of the risks identified
under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Exchange Act Documents and Annex
II.
5.3
The
Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that no action has been or will
be
taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company that would
permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of offering
materials in connection with the issuance of the Units, in any jurisdiction
outside the United States where legal action by the Company for that purpose
is
required. Each Investor outside the United States will comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it
purchases, offers, sells or delivers Units, Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares
or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases
at
its own expense.
5.4
The
Investor hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Units,
Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares without complying with the provisions
of this
Agreement and without causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the
Securities Act to be satisfied, and the Investor acknowledges that the
certificates evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend that
prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith. The Investor
acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company determines
that it must suspend the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement, as set forth in Section 6.2(c). The undersigned is
aware
that, in such event, the Shares and Warrant Shares will not be subject to
ready
liquidation, and that any Shares and Warrant Shares purchased by the undersigned
would have to be held during such suspension. The overall commitment of the
Investor to investments, which are not readily marketable, is not excessive
in
view of the Investor’s net worth and financial circumstances, and any purchase
of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The Investor
is
able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Units.
-4-
5.5
The
Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company
that (i) the Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to
enter
into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
and
has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid
and
binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as
enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless
of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law)
and except as the indemnification agreements of the Investors herein may
be
legally unenforceable.
5.6
Investor
will not use any of the restricted Shares or Warrant Shares acquired pursuant
to
this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock of the Company
if
doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws.
5.6
The
Investor understands that nothing in the Exchange Act Documents, this Agreement
or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase
and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor
has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors, as it, in its sole
discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase
of the Units.
6. Registration
of the Shares and Warrant Shares; Compliance with the Securities
Act.
6.1 |
Registration
Procedures and Other Matters.
The Company shall:
|
(a) subject
to receipt of necessary information from the Investors after prompt request
from
the Company to the Investors to provide such information, prepare within ninety
(90) days and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the
“Registration Statement”) to enable the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares
by the Investors from time to time;
(b) use
its
commercially reasonable efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information
from the Investors after prompt request from the Company to the Investors to
provide such information, to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective within 90 days after the Registration Statement is filed by the
Company such efforts to include, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, preparing and filing with the SEC any financial statements that
are
required to be filed prior to the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement;
(c) use
its
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
current, effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state
a material fact for a period not exceeding, with respect to each Investor’s
Shares and Warrant Shares purchased hereunder, the earlier of (i) the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Investor may sell
all Shares and Warrant Shares then held by the Investor without restriction
by
the volume limitations of Rule 144(e) of the Securities Act, or (iii) such
time
as all Shares and Warrant Shares purchased by such Investor in this Offering
have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or exemption from
registration;
(d) furnish
to the Investor with respect to the Shares and Warrant Shares registered under
the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement,
Prospectuses and Preliminary Prospectuses in conformity with the requirements
of
the Securities Act and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably
request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all
or
any of the Shares by the Investor; provided, however, that the obligation of
the
Company to deliver copies of Prospectuses or Preliminary Prospectuses to the
Investor shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable assurances
from the Investor that the Investor will comply with the applicable provisions
of the Securities Act and of such other securities or blue sky laws as may
be
applicable in connection with any use of such Prospectuses or Preliminary
Prospectuses;
-5-
(e) file
documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states
specified in writing by the Investor and use its commercially reasonable efforts
to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company is
required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant
to
Section 6.1(c); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction
in
which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;
(f) bear
all
expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraph (a) through (e) of
this
Section 6.1 and the registration of the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant
to
the Registration Statement; and
(g) advise
the Investor, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of
the
issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for that purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the
earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall only be obligated to register
the Shares and Warrant Shares on the Registration Statement. In no event at
any
time before the Registration Statement becomes effective with respect to the
Shares and Warrant Shares shall the Company publicly announce or file any other
registration statement, other than registrations on Form S-8, without the prior
written consent of a majority in interest of the Investors.
The
Company understands that the Investor disclaims being an underwriter, but the
Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company
of
any obligations it has hereunder; provided,
however
that if
the Company receives notification from the SEC that the Investor is deemed
an
underwriter, then the period by which the Company is obligated to submit an
acceleration request to the SEC shall be extended to the earlier of (i) the
90th
day after such SEC notification, or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing
of
the Registration Statement with the SEC.
6.2 Transfer
of Shares and Warrant Shares after Registration; Suspension.
(a) The
Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or Warrant
Shares or its right to purchase the Shares or Warrant Shares that would
constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as
contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 6.1 and as
described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly
notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of
distribution.
(b) Except
in
the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall (i) if deemed
necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated
therein by reference or file any other required document so that such
Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to
make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered
to purchasers of the Shares and Warrant Shares being sold thereunder, such
Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; (ii) provide the Investor copies of any documents filed pursuant
to Section 6.2(b)(i); and (iii) inform each Investor that the Company has
complied with its obligations in Section 6.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company
has
filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not
yet
been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investor to that effect,
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of
such
post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the
Investor pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become
effective).
-6-
(c) Subject
to paragraph (d) below, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness
of
the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the
issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of
any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares or Warrant Shares for
sale
in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such
purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its
counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement
or
Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
by
reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the
Investor (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon
receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from selling any
Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”)
until the Investor’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the
Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of
any
additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated
by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus
so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable within 30 business
days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investor.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6.2, the Investor shall not be
prohibited from selling Shares or Warrant Shares under the Registration
Statement as a result of Suspensions on more than two occasions of not more
than
30 days each in any twelve month period, unless, in the good faith judgment
of
the Company’s Board of Directors of the Company, upon the written opinion of
counsel, the sale of Shares or Warrant Shares under the Registration Statement
in reliance on this paragraph 6.2(d) would be reasonably likely to cause a
violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and result in liability
to
the Company.
(e) Provided
that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investor may sell Shares or Warrant
Shares under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery
of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Shares or Warrant Shares
and
confirms that a current Prospectus is on file with the SEC.
(f) In
the
event of a sale of Shares or Warrant Shares by the Investor pursuant to the
Registration Statement, the Investor must also deliver to the Company’s transfer
agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A,
so that
the Shares or Warrant Shares may be properly transferred.
6.3 Indemnification.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor from and against
any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Investor may become subject
(under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of,
or
are based upon (i) any material breach of the representations or warranties
of
the Company contained herein or material failure to comply with the covenants
and agreements of the Company contained herein, (ii) any untrue statement of
a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement as amended at the time
of
effectiveness or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any failure
by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement
as amended at the time of effectiveness, and the Company will reimburse such
Investor for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding
or
claim, or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, provided,
however,
that
the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement
made in such Registration Statement or any omission of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Investor specifically for use in preparation
of
the Registration Statement or the failure of such Investor to comply with its
covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.2 hereof respecting sale of
the
Shares or Warrant Shares or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that
is
corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Investor prior
to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor. The Company shall reimburse
each
Investor for the amounts provided for herein on demand as such expenses are
incurred.
-7-
(b) The
Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person,
if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each
director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling
person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar
as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any material breach of
the
representations or warranties of the Investor contained herein or failure to
comply with the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein, or
(ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such untrue statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use in preparation
of
the Registration Statement, and the Investor will reimburse the Company (or
such
officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal
or
other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing
to
defend any such action, proceeding or claim. The Investor shall reimburse the
Company for the amounts provided for herein on demand as such expenses are
incurred.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning
of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an
indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6.3, such indemnified person shall
notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement
of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying person will
not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified person under
this Section 6.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and
adversely affects the indemnifying person’s ability to defend such action) or
from any liability otherwise than under this Section 6.3. Subject to the
provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against
an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate
therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered
to
the indemnified person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified person, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from
the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume
the
defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such
indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided,
however,
that if
there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the
same
counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person
or
any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled
to
retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided,
however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local
counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person
be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless
the
indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement;
provided
that
such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could
have
been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 6.3 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person under subsection (a) or
(b)
above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
or
proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying
person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person
as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as
any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether
the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the
one
hand or an Investor on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by
pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
above
in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investor’s obligations in this subsection to
contribute shall be in proportion to its sale of Shares and Warrant Shares
to
which such loss relates and shall not be joint with any other
Investors.

Information.
The
Investor represents to the Company that, at all times during the Company’s

information and shall not use such information for any purpose other than to
evaluate the purchase of the Units until such information (a) becomes generally
publicly available other than through a violation of this provision by the
Investor or its agents or (b) is required to be disclosed in legal proceedings
(such as by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil

fifteen (15) days prior written notice (or such shorter period as required
by
law) specifying the circumstances giving rise thereto and will furnish only
that
portion of the non-public information which is legally required and will
exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded any non-public information so furnished.

ANNEX
II
RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks we describe below before deciding to invest
in the Units. Our business and financial condition could be affected materially
and adversely by any of the risks discussed below and any others not foreseen.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements.
We
are subject to complex laws and regulations relating to environmental protection
that can adversely affect the cost, manner and feasibility of doing
business.
Oil and
gas operations and properties are subject to numerous federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to environmental protection from the time oil
and
gas projects commence until abandonment. These laws and regulations govern,
among other things:
|
·
|
the
amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released
into
the environment;
|
|
||
|
·
|
the
issuance of permits in connection with exploration, drilling and
production activities;
|
|
||
|
·
|
the
release of emissions into the atmosphere;
|
|
||
|
·
|
the
discharge and disposition of generated waste materials;
|
|
||
|
·
|
offshore
oil and gas operations;
|
|
||
|
·
|
the
reclamation and abandonment of xxxxx and facility
sites; and
|
|
||
|
·
|
the
remediation of contaminated
sites.
|
In
addition, these laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities for
our
failure to comply with them or for any contamination resulting from our
operations.
Although
we believe that our operations generally comply with applicable laws and
regulations, failure to comply could result in the suspension or termination
of
our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties.
Further, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially
increase our costs. Any of these liabilities, penalties, suspensions,
terminations or regulatory changes could make it more expensive for us to
conduct our business or cause us to limit or curtail some of our operations.
We
may not be insured against all of the operating risks to which our business
is
exposed.
Our
business is subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with
the
exploration for and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, cratering
and
fire, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, oil and gas
xxxxx or formations or production facilities and other property and injury
to
persons. As protection against financial loss resulting from these operating
hazards, we maintain insurance coverage. However, we are not fully insured
against all risks in all aspects of our business, such as political risk,
business interruption risk and risk of major terrorist attacks. The occurrence
of a significant event against which we are not fully insured could have a
material adverse effect on our financial position.
Our
drilling activities may not be productive.
Drilling
for oil and gas involves numerous risks, including the risk that we will not
encounter commercially productive oil or gas reservoirs. The costs of drilling,
completing and operating xxxxx are often uncertain, and drilling operations
may
be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors,
including:
|
·
|
unexpected
drilling conditions;
|
-12-
|
||
|
·
|
pressure
or irregularities in formations;
|
|
||
|
·
|
equipment
failures or accidents;
|
|
||
|
·
|
fires,
explosions, blow-outs and surface cratering;
|
|
||
|
·
|
marine
risks such as capsizing, collisions and hurricanes;
|
|
||
|
·
|
other
adverse weather conditions; and
|
|
||
|
·
|
shortages
or delays in the delivery of
equipment.
|
Certain
of our future drilling activities may not be successful and, if unsuccessful,
this failure could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations
and financial condition. While all drilling, whether developmental or
exploratory, involves these risks, exploratory drilling involves greater risks
of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of
hydrocarbons.
Repercussions
from terrorist activities or armed conflict could harm our
business.
Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts and other armed conflict involving
the United States or its interests abroad may adversely affect the United States
and global economies and could prevent us from meeting our financial and other
obligations. If events of this nature occur and persist, the attendant political
instability and societal disruption could reduce overall demand for oil and
natural gas, potentially putting downward pressure on prevailing oil and natural
gas prices and causing a reduction in our revenues. Oil and natural gas
production facilities, transportation systems and storage facilities could
be
direct targets of terrorist attacks, and our operations could be adversely
impacted if infrastructure integral to our operations is destroyed or damaged
by
such an attack. Costs for insurance and other security may increase as a result
of these threats, and some insurance coverage may become more difficult to
obtain, if available at all.
The
loss of key members of our management team, or difficulty attracting and
retaining experienced technical personnel, could reduce our competitiveness
and
prospects for future success.
The
successful implementation of our strategies and handling of other issues
integral to our future success will depend, in part, on our experienced
management team. The loss of key members of our management team could have
an
adverse effect on our business. We do not carry key man insurance. Our
exploratory drilling success and the success of other activities integral to
our
operations will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain
experienced explorationists, engineers and other professionals. Competition
for
such professionals is extremely intense. If we cannot retain our technical
personnel or attract additional experienced technical personnel, our ability
to
compete could be harmed.
Competition
in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, and some of our competitors
have
greater financial, technological and other resources than we have.
We
operate in the highly competitive areas of oil and natural gas acquisition,
development, exploitation, exploration and production. The oil and natural
gas
industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological advancements
and introductions of new products and services using new technologies. We face
intense competition from independent, technology-driven companies as well as
from both major and other independent oil and natural gas companies in each
of
the following areas:
|
·
|
|
seeking
to acquire desirable producing properties or new leases for future
exploration;
|
|
·
|
|
marketing
our oil and natural gas production;
|
|
·
|
|
integrating
new technologies; and
|
|
·
|
|
seeking
to acquire the equipment and expertise necessary to develop and operate
our properties.
|
Some
of
our competitors have financial, technological and other resources substantially
greater than ours, and some of them are fully integrated oil companies. These
companies may be able to pay more for development prospects and productive
oil
and natural gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and
purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or
human resources permit. Further, these companies may enjoy technological
advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than
we
can. Our ability to acquire, develop and exploit oil and natural gas properties
will depend upon our ability to successfully conduct operations, implement
advanced technologies, evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate
transactions in this highly competitive environment.
-13-
We
may need additional capital to achieve the objectives of our current business
strategy.
There is
no assurance that we will obtain the additional capital required to successfully
complete our business plan. Our inability to obtain such financing may have
such
a material adverse effect on our business or prospects, any of which could
jeopardize an investment in our securities.
We
have made no representations or recommendations to the Investor concerning
whether the purchase of the Units is a suitable investment for the
Investor.
The
Investor has the sole responsibility for determining whether this investment
is
suitable for the Investor. We are not responsible to the Investor for making
any
such determination.
The
offer and sale of the Units are not underwritten by or being offered through
investment bankers or underwriters.
There
has not been an independent review of matters covered in the Securities Purchase
Agreement by any such professionals or other professionals. The Investor must
rely solely upon their own investigation and analysis of the risks in making
this investment decision.
Following
this Offering and subsequent registration for resale, a significant number
of
shares of our common stock will become available for sale and their sale could
depress our common stock price.
Further,
no assurances can be given that we will not issue additional securities which
will have the effect of diluting the equity interest of Investor. Moreover,
sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market
after the transaction contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult
for us to sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that we determine
to be appropriate.
There
is a limited public market for our common stock, and trading prices of our
common stock may be volatile. Our
common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board and trading
volume has been low. We can give no assurance that an active trading market
for
our common stock will develop, or if one develops, that trading will continue.
The
price of the Shares and Warrant Shares has been determined by the board of
directors after considering the amount of capital to be raised, similar
transactions and the risk factors set forth herein, and does not directly
correlate to market price, our operations or other financial
information.
No
assurances can be given that in the future we will not offer equity or debt
instruments with purchase prices or conversion rates similar or less than the
price of the Shares or Warrant Shares contained herein.
We
may be subject to Xxxxx Stock Rules.
SEC
rules require a broker-dealer to provide certain information to purchasers
of
securities traded at less than $5.00, which are not traded on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Since the Nasdaq
OTC
Bulletin Board is not considered an "exchange," if the trading price of our
common stock remains less than $5.00 per share, our common stock will be
considered a "xxxxx stock," and trading in our common stock will be subject
to
the requirements of Rules 15g-9015g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
(the "Xxxxx Stock Rules"). The Xxxxx Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that
provides information about xxxxx stocks and the nature and level of risks in
the
xxxxx stock market. The broker-dealer must also give bid and offer quotations
and broker and salesperson compensation information to the prospective investor
orally or in writing before or with the confirmation of the transaction. In
addition, the Xxxxx Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to make a special
written determination that the xxxxx stock is a suitable investment for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction
before a transaction in a xxxxx stock. These requirements may severely limit
the
liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker-dealers
may
be likely to undertake these compliance activities. Therefore, unless an
exemption is available from the Xxxxx Stock Rules, the disclosure requirements
under the Xxxxx Stock Rules may have the effect of reducing trading activity
in
our common stock, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell.
-14-
The
Shares and Warrant Shares are not and will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") nor under any state securities
laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions of the Securities
Act
and applicable state securities laws.
The
Shares and Warrant Shares are, and will be, deemed "restricted Shares" and
may
not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
We
have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and may not pay cash
dividends in the future.
Instead,
we intend to apply earnings to the expansion, development and growth of our
business. Thus, the liquidity of your investment is dependent upon your ability
to sell stock at an acceptable price. The price may go down as well as up and
may limit your ability to realize any value from your investment, including
the
initial purchase price.

and
WHEREAS,
the Company has agreed to grant to Holder, this Warrant to purchase shares

shall, from time to time, be sufficient
therefor.

3. |
Adjustment
of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
The
Exercise Price and the total number of Warrant Shares shall be subject
to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events
described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise
Price,
the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase,
at
the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
shares
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to
such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof
by
the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.
|
3.1. |
Subdivision
or Combination of Stock.
In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise
Price
in effect immediately prior to such split or subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company shall be combined
into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and
the
number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder proportionately
decreased.
|
3.2. |
Reclassification.
If any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any
reorganization, consolidation, merger, or any sale, lease, license,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all, of the business and/or
assets
of the Company (the “Reclassification
Events”)
shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be
entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property,
then,
as a condition of such Reclassification Event lawful and adequate
provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter
have
the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of Common
Stock
of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the
exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock,
securities, or other assets or property as may be issued or payable
with
respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such
Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby. In any Reclassification Event, appropriate provision
shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder
of
this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and
of the
number of Warrant Shares), shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as
may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
hereof.
|
3.3. |
Notice
of Adjustment.
Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price or any increase or decrease
in
the number of Warrant Shares, the Company shall give written notice
thereof, by first class mail postage prepaid, addressed to the registered
Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on
the books
of the Company. The notice shall be prepared and signed by the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer and shall state the Exercise Price resulting
from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number
of
shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the facts
upon which such calculation is
based.

No
Voting or Dividend Rights.
Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent to receive notice as a shareholder
of the Company on any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a
shareholder of the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable
or
accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby
or

of
Common Stock.
|
5.1. |
Compliance
with Securities Act.
The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this
Warrant
and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being
acquired for investment and that it will not offer, sell, or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares except under circumstances
which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “Act”)
or any applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and all Warrant
Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted
with a legend in substantially the following
form:
|
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES SHALL BE
INVALID UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH
TRANSFER OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, SUCH
REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE
ACT.”
5.2. |
Access
to Information; Pre-Existing Relationship.
Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive
answers
from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect
to the
terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and
with
respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results
of
operations of the Company. Holder has had access to such financial
and
other information as is necessary in order for Holder to make a fully
informed decision as to investment in the Company, and has had the
opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify
any
of such information to which Holder has had access. Holder further
represents and warrants that the Holder has either (i) a pre-existing
relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers or directors
consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration
which
enable the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and
general business and financial circumstances of the Company or the
officer
or director with whom such relationship exists or (ii) such business
or
financial expertise as to be able to protect the Holder’s own interests in
connection with the purchase of the Warrant
Shares.
|
5.3. |
Warrant
Not Transferable.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder are not transferable without
the
prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, except that this Warrant and all rights hereunder
may be transferred to an affiliate of the Holder, in whole or in
part,
without charge to the Holder (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender
of this Warrant properly endorsed; provided, however, that the Holder
shall notify the Company in writing in advance of any proposed
transfer.
|
5.4. |
Disposition
of Warrant Shares and Common Stock.
With respect to any offer, sale, or other disposition of the Warrant
or
any Warrant Shares, the Holder hereof and each subsequent Holder
of this
Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto,
describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion
of
such holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the
effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected
without
registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or
any
federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant or Warrant Shares,
as
the case may be, and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates
for such Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed
of
require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act. Promptly
upon
receiving such written notice and opinion, the Company, as promptly
as
practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or
otherwise dispose of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, all in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination
has been made pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4 that the opinion
of the
counsel for the Holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
the
Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination
has
been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Warrant or Warrant
Shares
may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with
Rule 144
under the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished
with
such information as the Company may request to provide reasonable
assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each
certificate representing the Warrant or Warrant Shares thus transferred
(except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to
the
applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance
with the Act, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the
Holder,
such legend is not required in order to insure compliance with the
Act.
The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent in
connection with such restrictions.

or by
overnight courier to each such Holder at its address as shown on
