FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, TEKOIL & GAS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of MASTERS RESOURCES, LLC and MASTERS
OIL & GAS, LLC, both Texas limited liability companies, an individual
referred to collectively as “Payee” or “Holder”), at the office of Payee at 0000
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or at such other place as Holder
may designate to Maker in writing from time to time, the principal sum of TEN
MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00), in lawful money of the United
States. Amounts payable hereunder shall be paid, at Payee’s option as specified
by Payee in writing from time to time, either by (i) check delivered to the
office of Payee or (ii) wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account specified by Payee in writing from time to time. This Note is referred
to in and issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as
of
April ___, 2007, by and between Payee and Maker (as amended from time to time,
the “Agreement”).
This
Note
shall be convertible into shares of common stock of Maker (“Common Stock”) at
the option of Holder at the “Conversion Rate” described below of obligation owed
hereunder for each share of Common Stock, as further provided below. The
Conversion Rate shall be one (1) share of Common Shares per $3.33 in amount
due
under the Note.
To
convert all of any portion of this Note, the Holder must (a) complete and
manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice attached hereto (or complete
and
manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the
Company, (b) if this Note is in certificated form, surrender such Note to the
Company, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required
by the Company and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date
on
which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be deemed to be the
date
on which this Note shall have been surrendered for conversion.
7
Commencing
with the thirty first (31st) day following the date hereof, the unpaid principal
balance of this Note shall accrue interest at the rate of six percent (6%)
simple interest, per annum. On the sixtieth (60th) day following the date hereof
(the “Maturity Date”), the entire unpaid principal balance, together with
accrued but unpaid interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable in
full. If such day is not a business day, such payment shall be made on the
next
succeeding day which is a business day and interest shall continue to accrue
thereon until paid. As used herein, “business day” means a day, other than a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, on which commercial banks in Houston, Texas
are open for the general transaction of business.
The
indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayments shall
be
credited first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to the outstanding
principal balance hereof.
The
failure of Maker to pay any principal, interest or any other sums required
hereunder when due under this Note shall constitute a default. If a default
shall occur hereunder and such default shall continue for fifteen (15) business
days after notice thereof is delivered by Holder to Maker, then, and in such
event, the entire outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, together with any other sums advanced hereunder and/or under any other
instrument or document now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way
relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall, at the option of Holder
become due and payable regardless of the stipulated date of maturity. Upon
the
occurrence of a default as set forth herein, which default is not cured
following the giving of any applicable notice and within any applicable cure
period set forth herein, at the option of Holder the outstanding principal
balance hereof shall bear interest thereafter until paid at an annual rate
(the
“Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii)
the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the
“Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of
the payment of principal as set forth herein.
This
Note
is secured by a certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of the date
hereof relating to membership interests in Tekoil and Gas Gulf Coast, LLC,
a
Delaware limited liability company, owned by Maker.
In
the
event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if
Holder incurs any costs incident to the collection of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, Maker and any endorsers hereof agree to pay to Holder an amount equal
to
all such costs, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees
and all court costs.
Presentment
for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and nonpayment are
hereby waived by Maker and all other parties hereto. No failure to accelerate
the indebtedness evidenced hereby by reason of a default hereunder, acceptance
of a past-due installment or other indulgences granted from time to time, shall
be construed as a novation of this Note or as a waiver of such right of
acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist upon strict
compliance with the terms of this Note or to prevent the exercise of such right
of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law.
No
extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any
installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter
liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall operate to
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker
hereunder or that of any other person now or hereafter liable for payment of
the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, either in whole or in part, unless Holder agrees
otherwise in writing. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,
change, modification or discharge is sought.
8
All
agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever,
whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity
of
the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to
be
paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced or to be advanced hereunder
exceed the Maximum Rate. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment
of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or
hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum
Rate, then, ipso facto,
the
obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate;
and
if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the
amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such
amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the
principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest.
This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other
agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between Maker and
Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
This
Note
is intended as a contract under and shall be construed and enforceable in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and shall be enforceable in
a
court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Texas, regardless of in which
state this Note is being executed.
HOLDER
AND MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COUNSEL WAIVE
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS OR COUNTER-CLAIMS, WHETHER
IN
CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY

a

payable to the order of Secured Party (the “Note”);
WHEREAS,
the
Board of Directors of Pledgor has determined that Pledgor’s execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement may reasonably be expected to benefit Pledgor,
directly or indirectly, and are in the best interests of Pledgor;
WHEREAS,
to
secure Company’s obligations under the Note, Pledgor has agreed to pledge and
grant to Secured Party a security interest in and to the Pledged Membership
Interest (as hereinafter defined), as provided herein;
NOW,
THEREFORE,
for
good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant
of Security Interest.
As
collateral security for the full and timely payment, performance and observance
of the Obligations (as defined in Section 2(a) below), Pledgor hereby pledges
and grants to Secured Party a security interest in and to, and assigns,
transfers, pledges and conveys to Secured Party, all of Pledgor’s right, title
and interest in and to the following described collateral (collectively, the
“Collateral”), now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located, howsoever
arising or created, and whether now existing or hereafter arising, existing
or
created, as security for the Obligations:
(a) All
of
Pledgor’s right, title and interest now or hereafter accruing under the First
Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Tekoil & Gas Gulf Coast, LLC, as
amended (the “Operating Agreement”), with respect to any interest now owned or
hereafter acquired or owned by Pledgor in the Company, and including, without

contract rights, general intangibles, notes, instruments, drafts and documents
relating to the Pledged Membership Interest; and
(c) All
substitutions, replacements, products, proceeds, income and profits arising
from
any of the foregoing.
2. Definitions.
(a) The
term
“Obligations” as used herein shall mean (i) the payment of the Note, together
with interest on any and all amounts due thereunder as provided therein, (ii)
all costs of collection and enforcement in connection with the Note including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (iii) all other amounts

or in the instruments or understandings evidencing or securing the
Note.
(b) Subject
to the further express definitions set forth herein, all terms used herein
which
are defined in Article 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (the “Code”),
shall have the same meaning herein as in the Code.
3. Pledgor’s
Representations and Warranties.
Pledgor
warrants and agrees with Secured Party that:
3.01. Payment.
Pledgor
will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without the express
written permission of Secured Party. There does not exist any certificate that
represents the Pledged Membership Interests as such interests are
uncertificated.
11
3.02. Information.
The
address of Pledgor is the address set forth beside Pledgor’s signature on this
Agreement. Pledgor shall notify Secured Party ten (10) days in advance of any
change in Pledgor’s address.
3.03. Other
Liens.
Except
as evidenced hereby or executed in connection herewith, there is no certificate
of title, financing statement or other writing showing any lien on, or security
interest in, the Collateral. Pledgor is the lawful owner and holder of the
Collateral and has full power and lawful authority to grant to Secured Party
a
security interest in the Collateral as provided in this Agreement. Pledgor
will
defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all third
persons.
3.04. Covenants
Concerning the Collateral.
Pledgor
shall not sell, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber any Collateral in
any
manner without first obtaining the written consent of Secured Party, which
consent may be withheld in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion. Any
written consent to any such sale, mortgage, transfer or encumbrance shall not
be
construed to be a waiver of this provision in respect of any subsequent proposed
sale, mortgage, transfer or encumbrance.
3.05. Further
Assurances.
Pledgor
will do, make, procure, execute and deliver all acts, things, writings and
assurances as Secured Party may at any time reasonably request to perfect,
protect, assure or enforce its interest, rights and remedies created by or
arising in connection with this Agreement, including the execution of financing
statements.
3.06. Time
of the Essence.
Pledgor
agrees that in performing any act under this Agreement, time shall be of the
essence and Secured Party’s acceptance of partial or delinquent payments under
the Notes by the Company, or failure of Secured Party to exercise any right
or
remedy, shall not be a waiver of any obligation of Pledgor or right of Secured
Party or constitute a waiver of any similar or dissimilar default subsequently
occurring.
4. Event
of Default.
Pledgor
shall be in “Default” under this Agreement if Pledgor defaults in the
performance of any obligation, covenant, representation or warranty contained
in
this Agreement, a default occurs in payment of or otherwise under and terms
or
provisions of the Note, or any party (other than Secured Party) to any agreement
executed in connection with or securing the Note, including, without limitation,
any guaranty, any security agreement, and any agreement relating to the
modification, renewal, extension or rearrangement of the Note, fails to perform
any obligation, covenant, representation or warranty contained
therein.
5. Rights
of Secured Party.
5.01. Remedies
After Default.
(a)
If
any Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Secured Party, at its option,
without demand, presentment, notice of acceleration, intention to accelerate
or
other notice (which are fully waived) may:
(1)
exercise all the rights of a secured party under the Code.
(2)
sell
all of the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, at such price or prices
as Secured Party may reasonably deem satisfactory. Upon Secured Party’s demand,
Pledgor will take all steps necessary to prepare the Collateral for and
otherwise assist in any proposed disposition of the Collateral. Any holder
of
the indebtedness secured hereby may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject
of
widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and
thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever
kind. Any holder of the Collateral shall have the right to offset the amount
of
its bid against an equal amount of the secured indebtedness held by such
holder.
12
Pledgor
agrees that, because of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other
laws or regulations, and for other reasons, there may be legal and/or practical
restrictions or limitations affecting Secured Party in any attempts to dispose
of certain portions of the Collateral and for the enforcement of its rights.
For
these reasons, Secured Party is hereby authorized by Pledgor, but not obligated,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, to sell all or
any
part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to investment letter or in
any
other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to
be
registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other laws, at a reasonable
price at such private sale or other distribution in the manner mentioned above.
Pledgor understands that Secured Party may in its discretion approach a limited
number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may
yield a lower price for the Collateral, or any part or party thereof, than
would
otherwise be obtainable if such Collateral were either afforded to a larger
number or potential purchasers, or registered or sold in the open market.
Pledgor agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in
a
commercially reasonable manner, and that Secured Party has no obligation to
delay the sale of any Collateral to permit the issuer thereof to register it
for
public sale under any applicable federal or state securities laws.
Secured
Party is authorized, in connection with any such sale (i) to restrict the
prospective bidders on or purchasers of any of the Collateral to a limited
number of sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale of any of such Collateral and (ii) to impose such other
limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale as Secured Party
reasonably deems necessary in order to comply with applicable law. Pledgor
covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such documents and take
such other action as Secured Party reasonably deems necessary in order that
any
such sale may be made in compliance with applicable law. Upon any such sale,
Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the
purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the Collateral so sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of Pledgor
of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor.
Pledgor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby specifically waives
all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under
any
law now existing or hereafter enacted.
Pledgor
agrees that ten (10) days written notice from Secured Party to Pledgor of
Secured Party’s intention to make any such public or private sale or sale at a
broker’s board or on a securities exchange shall constitute “reasonable
notification” within the meaning of the Code. Such notice shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale
at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at
which such a sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the
portion thereof so being sold, will first be offered to sale at such board
or
exchange and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such
sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or
times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured
Party may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral
may
be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Secured Party
may
reasonably determine. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any such
sale
pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, upon written notice to Pledgor,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such
sale
may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so
adjourned.
Secured
Party, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security
interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment
or
decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
(b)
Without limiting the foregoing, or imposing upon Secured Party any obligations
or duties not required by applicable law, Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that,
in foreclosing upon any of the Collateral, or exercising any other rights or
remedies provided Secured Party hereunder or under applicable law, Secured
Party
may, but shall not be required to: (1) qualify or restrict prospective
purchasers of the Collateral by requiring evidence of sophistication and/or
creditworthiness, and requiring the execution and delivery of confidentiality
agreements or other documents and agreements as a condition to such prospective
purchasers’ receipt of information regarding the Collateral or participation in
any public or private foreclosure sale process; (2) provide to prospective
purchasers the Operating Agreement and business and financial information
regarding the Company available in the files of Secured Party at the time of
commencing the foreclosure process, without the requirement that Secured Party
obtain, or seek to obtain, any updated business or financial information, or
verify, or certify to prospective purchasers, the accuracy of any such business
or financial information; (3) sell at foreclosure all, or a portion but not
all,
of the rights, titles and interests of Pledgor in the Company; it being further
specifically acknowledged by Pledgor that limitations or potential limitations
on the transfer of certain Collateral under the Regulations or other applicable
agreements or law may limit Secured Party’s right or ability to foreclose upon
or sell certain rights, titles and interests of Pledgor in the Company; (4)
offer for sale, and sell, the Pledged Membership Interests either with, or
without, first employing an appraiser, investment banker, or broker with respect
to the evaluation of Collateral, the solicitation of purchasers for Collateral,
or the manner of sale of Collateral.
13
(c)
Secured Party shall have all rights, remedies and recourse granted in the Note,
this Agreement or existing at common law or equity (including specifically
those
granted by the Code), and such rights and remedies (1) shall be cumulative
and
concurrent, (2) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against
Pledgor and any party obligated to pay or perform the Obligations, any of the
Collateral, or any other security for any of the Obligations, at the sole
discretion of Secured Party, and (3) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Pledgor that the exercise or failure
to
exercise any such rights or remedies shall in no event be construed as a waiver
or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse.
(d)
Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any
other remedy by Secured Party in connection with a Default, Pledgor shall not
be
subrogated thereby to any rights of Secured Party against the Collateral or
any
other security for any of the Obligations. Pledgor shall not be deemed to be
the
owner of any interest in any of the Obligations until all of the Obligations
have been paid to Secured Party and are fully performed and
discharged.
(e)
All
recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by
Secured Party incident to the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition
or
utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be rebuttably
presumptive evidence of the matters stated therein and all prerequisites of
such
sale or other action contained in such recitals shall be presumed to have been
performed or to have occurred.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pledgor shall retain
all voting rights with respect to the Pledged Membership Interest, including
after a Default has occurred hereunder.
5.02. No
Waiver.
Pledgor
may remedy any Default and the Secured Party may waive any Default without
waiving any other Default. The remedies of Secured Party are cumulative, and
the
exercise or partial exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for
herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of
Secured Party. No delay of Secured Party in exercising any power or right shall
operate as a waiver thereof. Secured Party’s failure to assert a security
interest on all or any portion of the Collateral at any time, does not waive
any
security interest, any right of Secured Party to assert any security interest
or
any other right, power or remedy of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral
as to which Secured Party has failed to assert a security interest or any other
Collateral.
5.03. Assignment.
This
Agreement, the Obligations or Secured Party’s rights hereunder may not be
assigned by Secured Party without the prior written consent of Pledgor.
6. Additional
Agreements.
6.01. Miscellaneous.
“Secured Party” and “Pledgor” as used in this Agreement include the heirs,
successors, legal representatives, receivers and assigns of those parties.

Agreement.

of Law.
UNLESS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS.

If any
provision of this Agreement is rendered or declared invalid, illegal or
ineffective by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted legislation or
by
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, such legislation or decree shall
not impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of this Agreement which shall

EXHIBIT
C TO FIFTH AMENDMENT
TEKOIL
& GAS CORPORATION
AMENDED
AND RESTATED
SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT
This
Agreement supersedes and replaces a certain Subscription Agreement executed
by
the parties hereto as of December 29, 2006.
THE
COMMON STOCK HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. THE COMMON STOCK MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT
OR
UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.
1. Subscription.
Subscriber (as identified on the signature page attached hereto) hereby
subscribes for and agrees to be issued Four Million (4,000,000) shares of Common
Stock (the “Common
Stock”)
of
Tekoil & Gas Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
a
Promissory Note (the “Note”)
in the
amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), which Note may be converted to
up
to Three Million shares (3,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the
“Conversion
Stock”)
at a
conversion price of $3.33 per share , all as consideration under the “PSA”
described below. The Common Stock, the Note and the Conversion Stock are
referred to together as the “Securities”.
2. Consideration.
The
Securities constitute a portion of the consideration payable by the Company
to
Subscriber under a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November ___,
2006,
and as amended December 29, 2006, in connection with the acquisition and sale
of
certain assets described therein, as amended through the date hereof (referred
to together as the “PSA”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings
ascribed to them in the PSA.
3. Subscriber's
Representations and Warranties.
Subscriber represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Subscriber
is a resident of the state indicated on the signature page hereof, is legally
competent to execute this Subscription Agreement, and:
(i) if
Subscriber is an individual, has his or her principal residence in such
state;
(ii) if
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company
or
other form of business organization, has its principal office in such state;
or
(iii) if
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company
or
other form of business organization, Subscriber has not been organized for
the
specific purpose of acquiring the Common Stock.
17
(b) Subscriber
has not been offered the Securities by any form of general solicitation or
general advertising, including but not limited to any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar
media or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose
attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
(c) Subscriber
has had access during the course of this transaction and prior to the issuance
of the Securities to all information necessary to enable Subscriber to evaluate
the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Company (including,
without limitation, the periodic and other reports filed by the Company with
the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and Subscriber has had
the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers and
directors of the Company, or a person or persons acting on its behalf,
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and all questions raised
by
Subscriber have been answered to the full satisfaction of
Subscriber.
(d) There
are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Securities and,
accordingly, Subscriber will need to bear the economic risk of the investment
in
the Securities for an indefinite period of time and will not be readily able
to
liquidate the investment in case of an emergency.
(e) Subscriber
understands that the Company has a limited financial or operating history,
each
of the Securities is a speculative investment which involves a high degree
of
financial risk, and there is no assurance of any economic, income or tax benefit
from such investment.
(f) In
making
this investment, Subscriber is relying solely upon the advice of Subscriber's
personal tax advisors, and not the Company nor its advisers and counsel, with
respect to the tax aspects of an investment in the Securities.
(g) If
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company,
employee benefit plan or other entity, Subscriber is authorized and qualified
to
become a stockholder of the Company and the person signing this Subscription
Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity
to do
so.
(h) No
representations or warranties have been made to Subscriber by the Company or
any
officer, employee, agent or affiliate of the Company (other than those set
forth
in the PSA), and Subscriber's investment decision has been based solely upon
Subscriber's independent evaluation and due diligence, if any, of the
Company.
(i) Subscriber
is experienced in evaluating and investing in early stage companies such as
the
Company. Subscriber is experienced in business matters and regards himself,
herself or itself as a sophisticated investor able to evaluate investment and
financial information and to choose independent professional advisors to assist
in such evaluation and, either alone or with such advisers, has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters that Subscriber is capable
of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and has
the
capacity to protect Subscriber’s own interests in connection with Subscriber’s
proposed investment in the Securities.
(j) Subscriber’s
aggregate commitments to investments that are not readily marketable are not
disproportionate to Subscriber’s net worth and an investment in the Securities
will not cause such aggregate commitment to become excessive. Subscriber has
adequate means of providing for Subscriber’s current needs and possible personal
and family contingencies. Subscriber will not be readily able to liquidate
the
investment in the case of an emergency, and Subscriber has no need for liquidity
in this investment in the Company.
18
(k) Subscriber
has a preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company or with
one
or more of its officers or directors. Except for Subscriber’s intention to
distribute the shares (or cause them to be issued directly) to its members,
pro-rata, on condition that they make the representations, warranties and
agreements herein provided in favor of Company, Subscriber is acquiring the
Securities solely for Subscriber’s own account for investment (and not for the
account of any other person), and not with a view to, or for, any resale,
distribution, fractionalization or other transfer thereof, and Subscriber has
no
present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
for any such resale, distribution, fractionalization or transfer.
4. Representations
and Warranties Concerning Suitability and Accredited Investor
Status.
Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Subscriber is
an
“Accredited Investor” (as defined under Regulation D as promulgated and
amended by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act) on the basis of the
representations made by Subscriber to the Company below. Subscriber hereby
represents and warrants and agrees that:
(a) Subscriber
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company
and
has obtained sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits
and
risks of an investment in the Company.
(b) Subscriber
has determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for Subscriber.
Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Company
(including a complete loss thereof) and has adequate financial or other means
for providing for Subscriber's current needs and contingencies and has no need
for liquidity in this investment.
5. Fees
and Expenses.
Subscriber shall pay for all its own fees and expenses in connection with this
subscription, including without limitation legal fees and fees of its advisors
and counsel, if any.
6. Restrictions.
The
Subscriber will not at any time make any disposition of any of the Securities
except in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and
the
legend set forth below. The certificates for the Securities, the Note and the
Conversion Stock to be issued to the undersigned will bear a legend in
substantially the following form:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. SUCH SECURITIES
MAY
NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION
IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR SUCH LAWS.
In
the
event the Common Stock or Conversion Stock may be publicly resold under the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise under applicable securities laws,
Subscriber agrees that it will not publicly resell more than 250,000 shares
thereof per calendar week. In addition, during the period that the Note is
outstanding, subject to the limitations of the preceding sentence, which may
be
waived by the Company in its sole discretion, no public re-sales of the Common
Stock may occur unless and until all Conversion Shares have been issued in
satisfaction of the Note. Subscriber agrees that a legend reflecting the
foregoing and reasonable transfer restrictions consistent therewith may be
placed on the Common Stock and Conversion Stock.
19
7. Miscellaneous.
The
terms and conditions contained in this Subscription Agreement (together with
the
PSA and a certain Registration Rights Agreement executed by the Company and
Subscriber of even date herewith) constitute the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous
agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Subscription Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
of
Delaware. This Subscription Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed
by the Company and Subscriber.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF,
Subscriber has executed this Subscription Agreement on the date indicated on
