XODTEC GROUP USA, INC.
Exhibit 10.1
INVESTOR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the
“Subscription Agreement”) dated September 29, 2009 between XODTEC GROUP USA, INC., a
Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and the person or persons executing this
Agreement on the last page (the “Subscriber”). All documents
mentioned herein are incorporated by reference.
1. Description of the
Offering. This Subscription Agreement is for shares of the
Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). This Offering (the “Offering”) is made only to accredited
investors who qualify as accredited investors pursuant to the suitability
standards for such investors described under Regulation D of the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), who have no need for
liquidity in their investments. Prior to this Offering there was no
public market for the Common Stock and no assurance can be given that a market
will develop, or if developed, that it will be maintained so that any
subscribers in this Offering may avail any benefit from the same.
THE
SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND
SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED BY ANYONE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT. THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, OR OTHER
JURISDICTION AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THESE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR ASSIGNED
EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS PURSUANT TO
REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
2. Terms of the
Subscription. The subscription is for One Million (1,000,000)
shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.70
per Share.
3. Other Terms of the
Offering. The execution of this Subscription Agreement shall
constitute an offer by the Subscriber to subscribe for the Shares in the amount
and on the terms specified herein. The Subscriber must also complete
and execute the Subscriber Questionnaire attached hereto. The Company
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject in whole or in part, any
subscription offer. If the Subscriber’s offer is accepted, the
Company will execute a copy of this Subscription Agreement and return it to
Subscriber.
4. Covenants. The
Company agrees from the acceptance of the Subscriber’s subscription and for a
period of eighteen months thereafter, the Company will not issue
any class of debt or equity convertible into shares of the Company’s Common
Stock. If the Company issues Common Stock to any investor (“New
Investor”) at a price less than $0.70 per share, then the Company shall issue a
number of additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber equal to the
Subscriber’s subscription amount divided by the difference between $0.70 and the
New Investor’s purchase price per share of Common Stock.
5. Subscription
Payment. Subscription for the Shares requires a cash
investment and the subscription price will be payable in full upon acceptance of
the subscription. The Company reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to accept fractional subscriptions.
5. The Company’s Representations and

association: (i) the person executing this Subscription Agreement does so with
full right, power and authority to make this investment; (ii) that such entity
was not formed for the specific purpose of making an investment in the Company;

2
Senior foreign political figure means a senior official in the executive,
legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a foreign
government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign
political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned
corporation. In addition, a senior foreign political figure includes
any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the
benefit of, a senior foreign political figure. The immediate family
of a senior foreign political figure typically includes the political figure’s
parents, siblings, spouse, children and in-laws. A close associate of
a senior foreign political figure is a person who is widely and publicly known
internationally to maintain an unusually close relationship with the senior
foreign political figure, and includes a person who is in a position to conduct
substantial domestic and international financial transactions on behalf of the
senior foreign political figure.
3
Foreign shell bank means a foreign bank without a physical presence in any
country, but does not include a regulated affiliate. A post office
box or electronic address would not be considered a physical
presence. A regulated affiliate means a foreign shell bank that: (1)
is an affiliate of a depository institution, credit union, or foreign bank that
maintains a physical presence in the United States or a foreign country, as
applicable; and (2) is subject to supervision by a banking authority in the
country regulating such affiliated depository institution, credit union, or
foreign bank.
4
Beneficial owners will include, but not be limited to: (i)
shareholders of a corporation; (ii) partners of a partnership; (iii) members of
a limited liability company; (iv) investors in a fund-of-funds; (v) the grantor
of a revocable or grantor trust; (vi) the beneficiaries of an irrevocable trust;
(vii) the individual who established an XXX; (viii) the participant in a
self-directed pension plan; (ix) the sponsor of any other pension plan; and (x)
any person being represented by the Subscriber in an agent, representative,
intermediary, nominee or similar capacity. If the beneficial owner is
itself an entity, the information and representations set forth herein must also
be given with respect to its individual beneficial owners. If the
Subscriber is a publicly-traded company, it need not conduct due diligence as to
its beneficial owners.
3
(k)
The Subscriber will be acquiring the Shares,
solely for the Subscriber’s own account, for investment and not with a view
toward the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof; and
the Subscriber has no present plans to enter into any such contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement;
(l)
The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that prior to this
Offering there was no public market for the Shares and no assurance can be given
that a public market will develop for the Shares offered hereby, or if
developed, that it will be maintained so that any subscribers in this Offering
may avail any benefit from the same;
(m) The
Subscriber’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Subscription
Agreement will not conflict with any instrument or agreement pertaining to the
Shares or the transactions contemplated herein; and will not conflict in, result
in a breach of, or constitute a default under any instrument to which the
Subscriber is a party;
(n)
The Subscriber will seek its own legal, tax and investment advice
concerning tax implications attendant upon the purchase of the Shares and
understands and accepts that the Company is relying upon this representation
insofar as disclosure of tax matters is concerned;
(o)
The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that the Subscriber is
aware of the information set forth in this document and in any exhibits attached
hereto; and
(p)
The foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the
date hereof and shall be true and accurate as of the date of delivery of the
subscription to the Company and shall survive such delivery. If, in
any respect, such representations and warranties shall not be true and accurate,
the Subscriber shall give written notice of such fact to the Company, specifying
which representations and warranties are not true and accurate and the reasons
therefor.
7. Risk Factors. THE
SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
PURCHASE OF THE SHARES AND THAT SUCH SHARES ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND SHOULD
NOT BE PURCHASED BY ANYONE WHO CANNOT AFFORD A TOTAL LOSS OF HIS OR HER ENTIRE
INVESTMENT. The Subscriber represents and warrants that he or she has
carefully considered and reviewed the following risks in reaching a
determination to purchase the Shares:
We have a limited operating
history and may never achieve profitability. If we are unable to achieve
profitability, our stock price would decline.
We have
only recently commenced operations and are still in the development
stage. Our short existence, coupled with a lack of working capital,
makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects or to accurately
predict future revenue or results of operations. Our revenue and income
potential continue to be unproven, and our business model is
evolving. Accordingly, we are subject to all of the risks,
uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies
seeking to break into a difficult-to-penetrate industry segment.
Potential Dilutive Effect of
Future Offerings
The
Company expects to engage in future financings over the next several
years. It is likely that such financings will involve a dilution of
the interests of the Company’s shareholders upon the issuance of additional
shares of equity securities and/or the Company’s recapitalization.
4
It is unlikely the
Subscriber will have any liquidity in their investment in the
Shares
The
Shares offered hereby will not be registered under the Securities Act or under
the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. As a result,
such securities cannot be transferred without registration under the Securities
Act or, if applicable, the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction or
if such registration is not then required because of an applicable exemption
therefrom. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under
the Securities Act and the securities laws of various states is extremely
complex, especially in respect to those exemptions affording flexibility and the
elimination of trading restrictions in respect to securities received in exempt
transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the
Securities Act or state securities laws. Therefore, investors should
be aware that investment in this offering is not likely to be a liquid
investment in the foreseeable future.
Our shares may be “Xxxxx
Stocks,” and there may be difficulty selling them in secondary market
trading.
Federal
regulations under the U.S. Exchange Act regulate the trading of so-called “xxxxx
xxxxx,” which are generally defined as any security not listed on a national
securities exchange or Nasdaq, priced at less than $5.00 per share and offered
by an issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. If we are able to
commence trading of our Common Stock, we anticipate that it will trade at less
than $5.00 per share. Therefore, our shares would be deemed “xxxxx
stocks” and may not be traded unless a disclosure schedule explaining the xxxxx
stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential
purchaser prior to any trade.
In
addition, because our Common Stock is not listed on Nasdaq or any national
securities exchange and would trade at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our
Common Stock would be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the U.S. Exchange
Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a
“xxxxx stock,” which steps include, but are not limited to:
|
|
∙
|
obtaining
financial and investment information from the
investor;
|
|
|
∙
|
obtaining
a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the
investor; and
|
|
|
∙
|
providing
the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the
quantity of the shares.
|
If these
xxxxx stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no
obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules
will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and our
shareholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling their shares in the
secondary trading market.
Our Directors and Executive
Officers own or control a significant number of shares of our Common Stock and
control our Company, which could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an
acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders.
Our
Directors and Executive Officers own or control approximately 75% of our
outstanding voting control. Accordingly, these shareholders, individually and as
a group, may be able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes, involving
votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of
provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and the approval of
certain mergers or other similar transactions, such as sales of substantially
all of our assets. Such voting control by existing shareholders could have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our
company.
5
We do not intend to pay any
cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not
intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any
return on an investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the
fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.
IT
IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FORESEE ALL RISK FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT THE
COMPANY. MOREOVER, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL
SUCCESSFULLY EFFECTUATE ITS BUSINESS PLAN. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR
SHOULD CAREFULLY ANALYZE THE RISKS AND MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES AND
SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MAKING SUCH ANALYSIS, AMONG OTHERS, THE RISK
FACTORS DISCUSSED ABOVE.
8. Responsibility. The
Company or its officers and directors shall not be liable, responsible or
accountable for damages or otherwise to any Subscriber for any act or omission
performed or omitted by them in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
by them to be within the scope of the authority granted to them by this
Subscription Agreement and in the best interests of the Company, provided they
were not guilty of gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, fraud, bad
faith or any other breach of fiduciary duty with respect to such acts or
omissions.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) The
Company and the Subscriber hereby covenant that this Subscription Agreement is
intended to and does contain and embody herein all of the understandings and
agreements, both written or oral, of the Company and the Subscriber with respect
to the subject matter of this Subscription Agreement, and that there exists no
oral agreement or understanding, express or implied liability, whereby the
absolute, final and unconditional character and nature of this Subscription
Agreement shall be in any way invalidated, empowered or
affected. There are no representations, warranties or covenants other
than those set forth herein.
(b) The
headings of this Subscription Agreement are for convenient reference only and
they shall not limit or otherwise affect the interpretation or effect of any
terms or provisions hereof.
(c) This
Subscription Agreement shall not be changed or terminated except as set forth
herein. All of the terms and provisions of this Subscription
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by and against the successors and assigns of the Company and the heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns of the Subscriber.
(d) A
modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement
shall be effective only if made in writing and executed by all parties with the
same formality as this Subscription Agreement. The failure of either
the Company or the Subscriber to insist upon strict performance of any of the
provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent default of the same or similar nature, or of any other nature or
kind.
(e) The
various provisions of this Subscription Agreement are severable from each other
and from the other provisions of this Agreement, and in the event that any
provision in this Subscription Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Subscription
Agreement shall be fully effective, operative and enforceable.
(f)
Pronouns used herein are to be interpreted as referring to both the masculine
and feminine gender.
6
(g) This
Subscription Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York without reference to conflict of laws
principle. The parties agree that in the event of a laws controversy
arising out of the interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this
Subscription Agreement, any and all claims arising out of, or relating to, this
Subscription Agreement shall be submitted by arbitration according to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association located in
New York City before a single arbitrator. Notwithstanding the prior
sentence, any other action commenced by either party herein shall be venued in
the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction located in the county of New
York, State of New York.
(h) This
Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one
and the same instrument.
THE SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT,
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES HAVE
BEEN MADE TO IT, OR TO ITS ADVISORS, BY THE COMPANY AND / OR THE PLACEMENT
AGENT, OR BY ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY, WITH RESPECT TO THE
SHARES, THE PROPOSED BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY, THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF ANY ITEM FOR
TAX PURPOSES, AND/OR THE ECONOMIC, TAX, OR ANY OTHER ASPECTS OR CONSEQUENCES OF
A PURCHASE OF AN INTEREST AND/OR ANY INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY, AND THAT IT HAS
NOT RELIED UPON ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING THE OFFERING, WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER
THAN THAT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
