STOCK PURCHASE COMMITMENT; REPRESENTATIONS BY PURCHASER
|
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company (at the Company’s sole and exclusive option) shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) in one or more investment tranches (each a “Tranche”) in accordance with the schedule set forth below. The aggregate dollar amount that Purchaser is obligated to invest in the Company in exchange for the Shares is set forth below. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for each Share that Purchaser is obligated to purchase in each Tranche shall be the sum obtained by adding (i) US$0.50 and (ii) the average closing price for the Common Stock as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market for the 90-day period immediately preceding (but not including) the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.3 below) for such Tranche. No fractional Shares shall be issued to Purchaser; to the extent that any calculation would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional Share, the result of such calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Purchaser agrees that it will be obligated to purchase its respective Shares in accordance with the following schedule:
(i) US$25,000 shall be wired to the Company’s designated account by Joint Corporation FeelTech Investment Unit 2 on or before March 25, 2011;
(ii) US$25,000 shall be wired to the Company’s designated account by Joint Corporation FeelTech Investment Unit 3 on or before March 25, 2011;

(v) US$25,000 shall be wired to the Company’s designated account by Joint Corporation FeelTech Investment Unit 6 on or before May 25, 2011; and
(vi) US$25,000 shall be wired to the Company’s designated account by Joint Corporation FeelTech Investment Unit 7 on or before May 25, 2011.
1.2 The failure of Purchaser to make the required Tranche payment as set forth above (following written notice of such failure and a five business day opportunity to cure) shall result in the Company having the right to repurchase any and all Shares previously issued to Purchaser for an amount equal to the applicable Purchase Price of such Shares less US$0.50 per each Share.
1.3 The closing of each respective investment Tranche shall be a “Closing” and the date of each Closing shall be a “Closing Date.” At each Closing or as promptly thereafter as possible, the Company shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a certificate, registered in the name of Purchaser, representing the Shares actually purchased by Purchaser at such Closing against payment of the Purchase Price therefore by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company.
1.4 Purchaser recognizes that the purchase of the Shares entails elements of risk in that (i) it may not be able to readily liquidate its investment; (ii) transferability is restricted as set forth in Section 4.1; and (iii) in the event of a disposition, it could sustain the loss of its entire investment.
1.5 Purchaser acknowledges that it has prior investment experience such that it is able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company; that it recognizes the speculative nature of this investment; and that it is able to bear the economic risk it hereby assumes. All reports, schedules, forms, statements, and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated under each, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, as well as all amendments to such filings and reports and all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference therein or attached thereto, that have been filed as of the date of a respective Closing are collectively referred to as the “Disclosure Reports.” Purchaser acknowledges that it or its representative(s) have read the Disclosure Reports available as of each respective Closing. Purchaser also acknowledges that it and its representative(s) have been afforded the opportunity to make, and has made, all inquiries as it and its representatives deemed appropriate with respect to the Company’s affairs and prospects.
1.6 Purchaser hereby acknowledges that (i) the sale and issuance of the Shares have not been approved by the NASDAQ or registered with the SEC by reason of the Company’s intention that the offer and sale of the Shares be a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof; (ii) the issuance of the Shares has not been qualified under any state securities laws on the grounds that the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby are exempt therefrom; and (iii) the foregoing exemptions are predicated on Purchaser’s representations set forth herein. Purchaser represents that the Shares are being purchased for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Purchaser understands that the Shares, upon their transfer, will not be registered under the Securities Act and may be required to be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration is available.
1.7 Purchaser represents that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
1.8 Unless the resale of the Shares is subsequently registered with the SEC, Purchaser acknowledges that the certificate representing the Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (III) UPON THE DELIVERY TO LIVEDEAL, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND/ OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED.”
1.9 Purchaser represents that it has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that (i) any enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefore may be brought.

To the Company’s knowledge, there are no valid and enforceable United States patents that are infringed by the business currently conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary, or as currently proposed to be conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary, as described in the Disclosure Reports and which infringement would have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of any third party with respect to the business currently conducted by it as described in the Disclosure Reports and which, if determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary, would have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole and the Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would serve as a reasonable basis for any such claims.
2.13 There are no outstanding rights, warrants, options, convertible securities or commitments to sell granted or issued by the Company entitling any person to purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of the capital stock of the Company, except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Reports and except for securities granted to directors and employees of the Company in the ordinary course of business.
2.14 The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Reports as the same may have been amended prior to the date of the Disclosure Reports, together with related schedules and notes, present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries on the basis stated therein at the respective dates or for the respective periods to which they apply; such statements and related schedules and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed therein.
2.15 There are no existing or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened labor disputes with the employees of the Company that would have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
2.16 The Company has filed all Federal, state, local and foreign tax returns which are required to be filed through the date hereof (except where the failure to so file would not have a material adverse effect on the Company), which returns are true and correct in all material respects, or have received extensions thereof, and have paid all taxes shown on such returns and all assessments received by them to the extent that the same are material and have become due. All tax liabilities are adequately provided for on the books of the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no tax audits or investigations pending, which if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole.
2.17 The Company is insured against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are customary in the businesses in which it is engaged, including but not limited to, insurance covering product liability and real or personal property owned or leased against theft, damage, destruction, act of vandalism and all other risks customarily insured against. All policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the Company or the Company's businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect. The Company is in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew their existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.
2.18 Any real property and buildings held under lease by the Company is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company.
2.19 There is and there has been no failure on the part of the Company or, to the Company's knowledge, any of the officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith that are applicable to the Company and its officers and directors.
