By executing this Agreement, each Lender further represents that such Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Securities. Nothing herein shall prohibit a Lender from assigning its rights and obligations under this Agreement and his, her or its Note and the other documents delivered in connection herewith to an entity that is a subsidiary, the parent, or an affiliate of the Lender (which assignment shall not require the consent of the Company or any other Lender).
|

|
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR REGISTERED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE BORROWER THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (C) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), IN EACH OF CASES (A) THROUGH (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.”
6
FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS ONLY. THE FLORIDA SECURITIES AND INVESTOR PROTECTION ACT PROVIDES, WHEN SALES ARE MADE TO FIVE OF MORE INVESTORS IN FLORIDA, ANY SALE MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 517.061(11) OF THE ACT SHALL BE VOIDABLE BY SUCH FLORIDA PURCHASER EITHER WITHIN THREE DAYS AFTER THE FIRST TENDER OF CONSIDERATION IS MADE BY SUCH PURCHASER TO THE COMPANY, AN AGENT OF THE COMPANY OR AN ESCROW AGENT OR WITHIN THREE DAYS AFTER THE AVAILABILITY OF THAT PRIVILEGE IS COMMUNICATED TO SUCH PURCHASER, WHICHEVER OCCURS LATER.
6.9
|
Risk Factors.
|
(a)
|
Detailed Risk Factors Exist as Set Forth in the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement contains detailed risk factors regarding an investment in the Company, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, and some of which are also discussed below. Each Lender acknowledges that he, she or it has been afforded an opportunity to review the Registration Statement at the SEC Xxxxx website and all of the risk factors contained therein, and acknowledges that investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk that the Notes will never be repaid.
|
(b)
|
Start-Up Operations. Investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise a sufficient amount of capital necessary to fulfill its business plan in this current financing. The Company is accepting subscriptions based upon its business plan to use the Securities offering proceeds for working capital.
|
Failure to raise all of the above capital could result in failure to successfully implement the Company’s business plan. Even if all of the capital is raised, there can be no assurances that it can be raised on a timely basis or that it will be sufficient to enable the Company to achieve profitable operations.
Because the Company, will continue to be a start-up, development stage entity, it is difficult to accurately forecast its revenues and expenses. As a development stage entity, Company’s operations will continue to be subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business including, among others, efficiently deploying its capital, developing its product offerings, developing and implementing its marketing campaigns and strategies and developing awareness and acceptance of its products and services. As with any investment in an emerging growth company, ownership of debt or capital stock (related to the shares underlying the Warrants) involves a high degree of risk and is not recommended if a Lender cannot reasonably bear the risk of a total loss of the Lender’s investment.
7
It should be noted that the Company has been formed through the contribution of the “Discount Coupons” domain name to the Company from a predecessor entity controlled by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, which had owned the domain name for a significant period of time and was unable to successfully monetize the predecessor entity or generate meaningful revenues therefrom. There can be no assurances that the Company will be more successful than the prior entity in generating revenues or profits.
The Company has commenced seeking to register members for its site and to date has generated nominal revenues from operations. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues to support current or future operations.
(c)
|
The Company may need to raise additional capital. As there is no minimum amount of Notes to be issued by the Company, it is possible that it will accept Note proceeds with insufficient amounts to satisfy all of the estimated source and use of proceeds per its business plan, which could result in default by the Company with respect to its obligations. There can be no assurances that the Company will have access to sufficient resources to meet the obligations due with respect to the Notes or its other existing or future obligations. Should the Company be unable to raise additional capital, it may be unable to meet its ongoing obligations. Similarly, even if all of the above sums are raised, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues from its technology in order to meet its ongoing obligations. the Company has $447,500 of debt outstanding with respect to prior debt issuances, all of which mature August 13, 2012 and for which the Company lacks the cash to repay such obligations.
|
(d)
|
Growth of Company’s Business will Result in Increased Demands on its Management and Limited Resources. Any future growth in Company’s business will result in increased responsibility for its management and increased demands on its limited resources. As Company’s business grows, it will be required to retain qualified personnel who can expand its customer base and develop and deliver innovative solutions. Company must continue to enhance and expand its business processes, information systems and operations to accommodate this growth. To manage future growth, Company will need to:
|
·
|
implement additional management information systems;
|
·
|
retain qualified personnel to manage its operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems;
|
·
|
maintain and expand its services and databases;
|
·
|
continue to train, motivate, manage and retain its existing employees and attract and integrate new employees;
|
·
|
develop its sales force and implement its sales strategy; and
|
·
|
maintain close coordination among its executive, information technology, accounting and finance, sales and operations organizations.
|
8
If Company is unable to manage future expansion, its ability to provide a high quality customer experience could be harmed, which would damage its reputation and substantially harm its business and, therefore, its results of operations and financial condition.
(e)
|
Increased Competition Could Materially Affect the Ability to Generate Revenues. Many companies currently compete in the marketplace for the issuance and sale of discount coupons. These competitors may have an advantage over the Company in terms of name recognition, sales and marketing expertise, and also have greater capital resources. There can be no assurance that competitors will not be more successful in bringing their competing technologies and advertising strategies to market or in development of new technologies that are substantially comparable to or superior to the technologies in favor of Company. If these competitors should develop such products and services or other offerings similar to those provided by Company and offer such products or services on a less expensive basis or through advertising channels that do a better job of reaching the coupon issuer or the ultimate consumer, this could adversely impact Company’s business prospects.
|
(f)
|
Issues Associated with Patent Protection and Infringement. Although, certain aspects of the Company’s’ business may be protectable under applicable intellectual property laws, there are no patents presently associated with the business and there are no significant barriers to entry to other companies entering into the discount coupon space.
|
(g)
|
Key Management Issues. Company’s success will depend to a significant degree upon the continued services of key management including Xxxxxx “Xxx” Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx. It should be noted that the Company will need to hire additional technical and marketing personnel to assist the Company in the successful marketing and implementation of its technology as well as roll out of its coupon offering to additional prospective merchants and end users. In the event any of these persons voluntarily terminate their employment with Company, it could have a material adverse effect on its implementation of its business plan. Additionally, there is no key man insurance in place. As the business of the Company evolves, it will be critical to bring certain of these persons on as full-time employees of the Company. Should the Company be unable to hire critical personnel on a full time basis, it will run the risk that certain key personnel will not be dedicated to its operations. and that it may be unable to scale its operations even if the core business is successful. It should also be noted that Xx. Xxxxxx filed for personal bankruptcy within the past 5 years. In addition, approximately 20 years ago, Xx. Xxxxxxx filed for personal bankruptcy. Neither gentleman had sought bankruptcy protection prior to or since the aforesaid filings..
|
9
(h)
|
Offering Price of Notes is Arbitrary. The offering price for the Notes (and including the corresponding Warrants was determined arbitrarily by the Company based upon its assessment of its business and growth plans, and other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The offering price is not necessarily related to the asset value, net worth or any other established criteria of value of the Company. There will be substantial dilution to investors in the Notes offering as a result of the currently outstanding shares of the Company and the shares to be issued in connection with any subsequent financing by the Company.
|
(i)
|
There is no Public Market for the Company’s Stock. There is no public market for the Common Stock of the Company. The Securities have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company is under no obligation to register such securities or to assist a holder in complying with any exemption from the registration provisions of such Securities Act. Therefore, investors’ liquidity would be subject to sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or an appropriate exemption from the Securities Act.
|
(j)
|
No Cash Dividends. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that earnings, if any, which may be generated from Company’s current and proposed operations will be used to finance the growth of the Company and that dividends will not be paid to holders of Common Stock.
|
(k)
|
Investors will Experience Dilution. The Company may effect a subsequent equity financing to be comprised of capital stock or debt with equity features such as convertibility to common stock and/or warrants or other forms of equity participation (a “Subsequent Financing”). Any Subsequent Financing may be at terms less favorable than the current offering and could result in significant dilution to existing investors.
|
(l)
|
Management has Significant Discretion in Source and Use of Proceeds. The Company’s management will have broad discretion over the use of the offering proceeds. The Company’s management will determine, with its Board of Directors, but without the need for stockholder approval, how to allocate a significant portion of these proceeds. If it does not wisely allocate the proceeds, its business plan could be seriously impacted. The Company may pursue the Subsequent Financing. If such funding is not available on terms or conditions favorable to the Company, if at all, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted.

(a) The term “Common Stock” shall mean the common stock, par value $0.00001, of the Company.

3. Exercise Date; Expiration. Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or from time to time before the Expiration Date.
4. Exercise of Warrant; Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full or in part by the Holder by surrender of this Warrant, together with the Holder’s duly executed form of subscription attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, of the aggregate Exercise Price (as determined above) of the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased hereunder (with a replacement warrant to be issued as necessary to reflect the unexercised portion of this Warrant if exercised in part and not in full). The exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in this Section 4, and at such time the person in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares for all purposes. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise and, if applicable, a new warrant evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to the Warrant.
5. Adjustments to Number of Warrants and Conversion Price. The number and kind of Warrant Shares or any shares of stock or other securities which may be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
(a) Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, with the entitlement for the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such Holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.
B-2
(b) Combination of Shares. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased and the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(c) Reclassification or Reorganization. If the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a split, subdivision or stock dividend provided for in Section 5(a) above or a combination of shares provided for in Section 5(b) above, or a Corporate Transaction provided for in Section 5(d) below), then and in each such event the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change, to which a holder of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(d) Corporate Transaction. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a Corporate Transaction of the Company, the Company shall provide to the Holder not less than thirty (30) days advance written Notice of such Corporate Transaction. In the event that as a result of the Corporate Transaction the Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of an entity not wholly owned by the existing shareholders and existing warrant holders and option holders of the Company immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, then effective as of the date of such Corporate Transaction, this Warrant shall lapse.
6. Registration Rights.

7. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
8. No Rights or Liability as a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder as a stockholder of the Company.
