FORM OF OFFSHORE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit
10.1
These
securities have not been registered with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state because they are
believed to be exempt from registration under Regulation D and/or Regulation S
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”). The foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or
determined the adequacy of this document. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense. This subscription agreement shall not
constitute an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities
in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be
unlawful.
These
securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not
be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Act, and applicable state
securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption
therefrom. Investors should be aware that they will be required to
bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of
time. All offers and sales of the herein-described securities by
non-U.S. persons before the expiration of a period commencing on the date of the
closing of this offering and ending one year thereafter shall only be made in
compliance with Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or
pursuant to an exemption from registration, and all offers and sales after the
expiration of the one-year period shall be made only pursuant to registration or
an exemption from registration. Hedging transactions involving these
securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act.
