1.02 Acceptance of Subscription. The Company reserves the right to reject
the Subscriber's offer in whole or in part, for any reason, and to
allocate less than the maximum number of Securities the Subscriber
hereby offers to purchase. Any sale of Securities to the Subscriber
shall not be deemed to occur until the Subscribers' offer is accepted
in writing by the Company. The Subscriber shall not have any recourse
against the Company if a purchase offer is rejected in whole or in
part. The Company shall reasonably notify the Subscriber in writing of
the acceptance of a purchase offer. If the offer is rejected in whole
or in part, the Company will promptly return to the Subscriber, without
deduction or interest, all or a ratable portion of the subscription
price, as the case may be, together with all executed documents
tendered by the Subscriber. If the purchase offer is rejected in part
only, the Subscriber shall immediately complete, execute, and deliver
to the Company new subscription documents for the appropriate reduced
amount.
1.03 Escrow of Funds and Certificate and Restriction on Transfer of
Securities. The Securities have been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") pursuant to Rule 419 thereto.
Rule 419 requires that before the Securities can be released, the Company
must first execute an agreement to acquire a business. The agreement
must provide for the acquisition of a business or assets for which the
fair value of the business represents at least 80% of the maximum
offering proceeds, including funds received or to be received from the
exercise of warrants.
Once the acquisition agreement has been executed, Rule 419 requires the
Company to update the registration statement with a post-effective
amendment. The post-effective amendment must contain information about:
-- the proposed acquisition candidate and its business, including audited
financial statements;
-- the results of the offering; and
-- the use of the funds disbursed from the escrow account.
The post-effective amendment must also include the terms of the
reconfirmation offering.
The reconfirmation offer must commence within five business days after the
effective date of the post-effective amendment and must include the following
conditions:
-- the prospectus contained in the post-effective amendment will be sent
to each Subscriber within five business days after the effective date
of the post-effective amendment;
-- each Subscriber will have no fewer than 20, and no more than 45,
business days from the effective date of the post-effective amendment
to notify the Company in writing that he or she elects to remain a
Subscriber;
-- if the Company does not receive written notification from any
Subscriber within 45 business days following the effective date, the
Subscriber's escrowed securities will be returned to the Company and
the Subscriber's escrowed funds to the Subscriber;
-- unless Subscribers representing 80% of the maximum offering proceeds
elect to remain Subscribers, the acquisition of the target business
would be prevented, deposited securities held in escrow will be
returned to the Company and the funds to the Subscribers; and
-- if a consummated acquisition has not occurred within 18 months from the
date of this prospectus, the deposited securities held in the escrow
account will be returned to the Company and the funds to the
Subscribers.
The Securities may be released to Subscribers after the escrow agent has
received a signed representation from the Company and any other evidence
acceptable by the escrow agent that:
-- the Company has executed an agreement for the acquisition of a business
for which the value of the business represents at least 80% of the
maximum offering proceeds and the Company has filed the required
post-effective amendment;
-- the post-effective amendment has been declared effective;
-- the reconfirmation offer has been completed;
-- the Company has satisfied all of the prescribed conditions of the
reconfirmation offer; and
-- the acquisition of the business with the fair value of at least 80% of
the maximum proceeds has been consummated.
