Exhibit 10.4
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 11, 2011 by and among Bay Peak 1 Opportunity Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the persons and entities (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) listed on the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Exhibit A (the “Schedule of Purchasers”).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
ARTICLE I
AUTHORIZATION AND SALE OF COMMON
STOCK
1.1 Authorization of Common Stock. The Company will, prior to the Initial Closing (as defined below), authorize the sale and issuance of shares of up to a maximum of $10,000,000 (the “Maximum Financing Amount”) of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Common Stock”) having the rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as then in effect (the “Articles of Incorporation”).
1.2 Sale of the Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Purchaser agrees to purchase and the Company agrees to sell and issue the number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the following formula (as such number may be adjusted from time to time), provided that such number of shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share:
Number of Shares | = | (A) (i) the amount of money invested by an individual Purchaser divided by (ii)(I) $45,000,000 plus (II) the aggregate amount of proceeds raised by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including any proceeds raised in Closings subsequent to the Initial Closing) multiplied by (B) 19,993,300 |
1.3 Closings.
(a) The purchase, sale, and issuance of the shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement (the “Shares”) shall take place at one or more closings remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures (each such exchange, a “Closing”). The initial Closing (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place on such date as the Company and Purchasers representing the Shares to be purchased in the Initial Closing shall mutually agree; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to complete the Initial Closing until the Purchasers agree to invest a minimum of $5,000,000 in the Initial Closing.
(b) If less than the Maximum Financing Amount is raised at the Initial Closing, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may sell and issue at one or more subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) held prior to March 31, 2011 up to the remaining balance of the Maximum Financing Amount. Any such sale and issuance in a Subsequent Closing shall be on the same terms and conditions as those contained herein, without the need for an amendment to this Agreement except to add such person's or entity's name to the Schedule of Purchasers and to make any adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock due to each Purchaser as a result of any changes in the aggregate amount of proceeds raised pursuant to this Agreement. Each Subsequent Closing shall take place within 5 calendar days of a written request for a Subsequent Closing from Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxxx as representatives for the prospective Purchasers.
(c) Immediately after each Closing, the Schedule of Purchasers will be revised to list the Purchasers purchasing Shares hereunder and adjust the number of Shares issued to each Purchaser in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 1.2.
1.4 Delivery.
(a) At each Closing, the Company shall make a book entry notation in the Company’s books and records in such Purchaser's name representing the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser is purchasing in such Closing against payment of the purchase price therefor by check payable to the Company or wire transfer in accordance with the Company's instructions.
(b) Notwithstanding the forgoing, each Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the number of Shares that a Purchaser purchases in a Closing as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 may be adjusted downward as a result of Subsequent Closings after such Closing. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Company as its attorney in fact to take all such actions necessary to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock held in such Purchaser’s name in the books and records of the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, that as of the respective Closing:
3.1 Experience; Risk. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits of and risks associated with purchasing the Shares and of protecting its interests in connection herewith. The Purchaser has the ability to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares, including complete loss of the investment value of the Shares.
3.2 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Purchaser understands that the Shares to be purchased hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser's representations as set forth herein.
-3-
3.3 Investment Experience. The Purchaser, or its purchaser representative, within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(h) (its “Purchaser Representative”), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that the Purchaser or its Purchaser Representative, can protect its own interests.
3.4 Access to Data. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as the Company's business, management, and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Purchaser believes that it has received all the information the Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. The Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company's business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. The Purchaser acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. The Purchaser also acknowledges that it is relying solely on its own counsel and not on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
3.5 Accredited Purchaser. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
3.6 Residency. The residency of the Purchaser (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity's principal place of business) is correctly set forth on the Schedule of Purchasers.
3.7 Restricted Securities; Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act because such shares are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder the Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Purchaser understands and hereby acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is otherwise available. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit limited resales of shares purchased in a transaction not involving a public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
3.8 No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any security issued by the Company and that there is no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Shares.
3.9 Legends. It is understood that each certificate representing the Shares and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE, OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT.

3.11 Brokers or Finders. The Purchaser has not engaged any brokers, finders, or agents, and neither the Company nor any other Purchaser has, nor will, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Purchaser, any liability for brokerage or finders' fees, agents' commissions, or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
3.12 Tax Advisors. The Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
