SECTION
2. REGISTRATION
STATEMENT.
The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Placement Agent
that:
(A) The
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-151648) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which became
effective on August 1, 2008, for the registration under the Securities Act of
the Shares. At the time of such filing, the Company met the requirements of Form
S-3 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement meets the
requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and
complies with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules
and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to the
form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the
placement of the Shares and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised the
Placement Agent of all further information (financial and other) with respect to
the Company required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement,
including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is
hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form in
which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the “Base
Prospectus”; and the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it
will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base
Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus
Supplement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the
Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and
include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated
Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before
the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the
Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be;
and any
reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement”
with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the
Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any
document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue
date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be,
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement
to financial statements and schedules and other information that is “contained,”
“included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the
Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and
all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all
such financial statements and schedules and other information that is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. No stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of
the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no
proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the
Company's knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this
Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act and the “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary
prospectus, if any, together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, used in
connection with the Placement, including any documents incorporated by reference
therein.
(B) The
Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the
Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities
Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations
and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain
any 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. The Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the
Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material
respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules
and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if
any, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will
not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in
all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable
Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the
Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to
Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or
Prospectus Supplement), in light of the circumstances under which they were made
not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference
in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus
Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in
all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable
Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent,
individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set
forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are
no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the
transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required
pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite
time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described
in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus
Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration
Statement, that have not been described or filed as required.
(C) The
Company will not, without the prior consent of the Placement Agent, prepare, use
or refer to, any free writing prospectus.
(D) The
Company has delivered, or will as promptly as practicable deliver, to the
Placement Agent complete conformed copies of the Registration Statement and of
each consent and certificate of experts, as applicable, filed as a part thereof,
and conformed copies of the Registration Statement (without exhibits), the Base
Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement,
as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the
Placement Agent reasonably requests. Neither the Company nor any of
its directors and officers has distributed and none of them will distribute,
prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering
and sale of the Shares other than the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, if any, the Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement,
copies of the documents incorporated by reference therein and any other
materials permitted by the Securities Act.

properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or
default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter
documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified
to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other
entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or
property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not
have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the
legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business,
prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the
Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its
obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a
“Material Adverse Effect”) and no “Proceeding” (which for purposes of this
Agreement shall mean any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding
(including, without limitation, an investigation or partial proceeding, such as
a deposition), whether commenced or threatened) has been instituted in any such
jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or
curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(B) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each
of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company, its board of directors or its stockholders in connection therewith
other than in connection with the “Required Approvals” (as defined in subsection
3(D) below). Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery
will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the

thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the

would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of
the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or
(iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation

Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(D) Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any
consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any
filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other

(E) Issuance
of the Securities; Registration. The Securities are duly authorized
and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction
Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free
and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on
transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents. The Company has
reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The
issuance by the Company of the Securities has been registered under the
Securities Act and all of the Securities are freely transferable and tradable by
the Purchasers without restriction (other than any restrictions arising solely
from an act or omission of a Purchaser). The Securities are being
issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Securities
has been registered by the Company under the Securities Act. The
Registration Statement is effective and available for the issuance of the
Securities thereunder and the Company has not received any notice that the
Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop-order with respect to the
Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or
withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or
permanently, or intends or has threatened in writing to do so. The
"Plan of Distribution" section under the Registration Statement permits the
issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder. Upon receipt of the
Securities, the Purchasers will have good and marketable title to such
Securities and the Securities will be freely tradable on the “Trading Market”
(which, for purposes of this Agreement shall mean means the following markets or
exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date
in question: the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE Alternext US, the New York
Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the OTC Bulletin

capitalization of the Company is as set forth on Schedule 3(F). The
Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic
report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee
stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of
Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan
and pursuant to the conversion or exercise of securities exercisable,
exchangeable or convertible into Common Stock (“Common Stock
Equivalents”). No Person who has not waived any right of first
refusal has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of
participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the
purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants,
script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for
or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents. Except for the remaining holders of the Company’s Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock who also hold the common stock purchase warrants
issued in connection with the purchase of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, the issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to
issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the
Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance
with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares
was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe
for or purchase securities. 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 Securities. There are no stockholders
agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the
Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of
the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the
Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of
filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except
that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by
GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the

violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or
any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all
U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any

Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or

(M) Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and marketable title in
all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the

Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon
the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such
Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights of
others. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable
security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of
their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not,

responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance

that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to
believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance
with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(W) Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have
taken all necesary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control
share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the
laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the
Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents,
including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the
Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(X) Solvency. Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are
required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances
which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year
from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates
thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has
commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall
mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of
Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in
the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(Y) Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any
Subsidiary.
(Z) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the
Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i)
directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic
political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic
government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of
which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv)
violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act of 1977, as amended.
(AA) Accountants. The
Company’s accountants are named in the Prospectus Supplement. To the
knowledge of the Company, such accountants, who the Company expects will express
their opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the
Company’s next Annual Report on Form 10-K, are a registered public accounting
firm as required by the Securities Act.

(BB) Regulation
M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on
its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause
or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security
of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii)
sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of,
any of the Securities (other than for the placement agent’s placement of the
Securities), or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for
soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.
(CC) Approvals. The
issuance and listing on the Nasdaq of the Shares requires no further approvals,
including but not limited to, the approval of shareholders.
(DD) FINRA
Affiliations. There are no affiliations with any FINRA member
firm among the Company’s officers, directors or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any five percent (5%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as
set forth in the Base Prospectus.

delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the
Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.

(a) ADDENDUM
A
1.2 INDEMNIFICATION
PROVISIONS
In connection with the engagement of
Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC (“Xxxxxx”) by China
Direct Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to
a letter agreement dated June 15, between the Company and Xxxxxx, as it may be
amended from time to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the
Company hereby agrees as follows:
1.
|
To
the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify Xxxxxx and its
affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and controlling
persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as
the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or
pursuant to the Agreement, except to the extent that any losses, claims,
damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found
in a final judgment (not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have
resulted primarily and directly from Xxxxxx’x willful misconduct or gross
negligence in performing the services described
herein.
|
2.
|
Promptly
after receipt by Xxxxxx of notice of any claim or the commencement of any
action or proceeding with respect to which Xxxxxx is entitled to indemnity
hereunder, Xxxxxx will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of
the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume
the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxxx and will pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Xxxxxx
will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company
and from any other party in such action if counsel for
Xxxxxx reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate
under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same
counsel to represent both the Company and Xxxxxx. In such
event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such
separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will
have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that
the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without
the prior written consent of Xxxxxx, which will not be unreasonably
withheld.
|
3.
|
The
Company agrees to notify Xxxxxx promptly of the assertion against it or
any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or
proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by the
Agreement.
|
4.
|
If
for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to Xxxxxx or
insufficient to hold Xxxxxx harmless, then the Company shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by Xxxxxx as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and
Xxxxxx on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and Xxxxxx on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable
considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in
respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall
be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in
defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or
claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, Xxxxxx’x share of
the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees
actually received, or to be received, by Xxxxxx under the Agreement
(excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by
Xxxxxx).
|
5.
|
These
Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether
or not the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is completed and
shall survive the termination of the Agreement, and shall be in addition
to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified
party under the Agreement or
otherwise.
