3. | Description of the Restricted Common Shares; Obligation to Remove Legend |
Neither the Debentures nor the Warrants nor any of the shares of common stock underlying the Debentures or the Warrants (the “ Subscription Shares ”) have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " US Securities Act "), or any U.S. state securities laws, and, unless so registered, none may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined herein) except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the US Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and in each case only in accordance with applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the corporation that such registration or qualification is not required.
Upon the request of the Purchaser from time to time, the Corporation shall be responsible (at its cost) for promptly supplying to Corporation’s transfer agent and the Purchaser a customary legal opinion letter of its counsel (the “Legal Counsel Opinion”) to the effect that the resale of the Subscription Shares by the Purchaser or its affiliates, successors and assigns is exempt from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 (provided the requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied and provided the Subscription Shares are not then registered under the Securities Act for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement). Should Corporation’s legal counsel fail for any reason to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, a Purchaser may (at Corporation’s cost not to exceed $500) secure another legal counsel to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, and Corporation will instruct its transfer agent to accept such opinion. The Corporation shall not impede the removal by its stock transfer agent of the restricted legend from any common stock certificate upon receipt by the transfer agent of a Rule 144 Opinion Letter. CORPORATION XXXXXX AGREES THAT IT MAY NEVER TAKE THE POSITION THAT IT IS A “SHELL CORPORATION” IN CONNECTION WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE UNLESS THE CORPORATION HAS SOUGHT THE ADVICE OF ITS COUNSEL AND ITS COUNSEL HAS INDICATED THAT IT MUST TAKE SUCH POSITION AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW.
The Corporation agrees that until all the Subscription Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement (as defined below) or pursuant to Rule 144 or other available exemption from US Securities Act registration requirements, it shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep current in filing all reports, statements and other materials required to be filed with the SEC to permit the Purchasers to sell the Subscription Shares under Rule 144.
4. Registration Rights. The Corporation hereby grants the following registration rights to the Purchaser.
(a) Registration Statement. The Corporation shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) not later than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement a registration statement on an appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Subscription Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and the exercise of the Warrants and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective within one hundred fifty (150) days following the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time, the Corporation may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Corporation the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in the best interest of the Corporation and otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Corporation shall promptly: (i) notify the Purchasers in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Corporation will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Purchasers) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any issue that makes disclosure of the material, non-public information not in the best interests of the Corporation.
(b) Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration Statement, the Corporation will:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective with respect to the Purchasers until all the Subscription Shares owned by such Purchasers may be resold without restriction under the Securities Act; and
(ii) Immediately notify the Purchasers when the prospectus included in the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the US Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Corporation has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. If the Corporation notifies the Purchasers to suspend the use of any prospectus until the requisite changes to such prospectus have been made, then the Purchasers shall suspend use of such prospectus. In such event, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to update such prospectus as promptly as is practicable.
(c) Provision of Documents etc. In connection with the Registration Statement, the Purchasers will furnish to the Corporation in writing such information, selling stockholder questionnaires and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. The Corporation may require the Purchaser, upon five business days’ notice, to furnish to the Corporation a certified statement as to, among other things, the number of Subscription Shares and the number of other shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser and the person that has voting and dispositive control over such shares. The Purchasers covenant and agree that each such Purchaser will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, in connection with sales of Subscription Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(d) Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Corporation in complying with this article, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Corporation, fees of transfer agents and registrars are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Subscription Shares, including any fees and disbursements of any counsel to the Purchaser, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Corporation will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement. Selling Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement shall be borne by the applicable Purchaser.
(e) Indemnification and Contribution.
(i) The Corporation will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, and, as applicable, each officer of each Purchaser, each director of each Purchaser, and each other person, if any, who controls each Purchaser within the meaning of the US Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser or such other person (a “controlling person”) may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (“Claims”) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will, subject to the limitations herein, reimburse such Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be liable to a Purchaser to the extent that any Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with information furnished by such Purchaser or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
(ii) The Purchaser will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, and each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of the US Securities Act, each underwriter, each officer of the Corporation who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Corporation against all Claims to which the Corporation or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Corporation and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that such Purchaser will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Purchaser, as such, furnished in writing to the Corporation by such Purchaser specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this section and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this section except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(iv) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the US Securities Act in any case in which either (i) a Purchaser, or any controlling person of a Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the US Securities Act may be required on the part of a Purchaser or controlling person of a Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this section, then, and in each such case, the Corporation and such Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in a manner that reflects, as near as practicable, the economic effect of the foregoing provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the US Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
(i) Within three business days (such business day, the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Corporation has received (i) a notice that Subscription Shares have been sold either pursuant to, and in compliance with, the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the US Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and (ii) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of a Purchaser and a Purchaser’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Corporation at its expense, (A) shall deliver the Subscription Shares so sold without any restrictive legends relating to the US Securities Act (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (B) shall cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the unsold Subscription Shares, if any, to the Purchaser at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. Transfer fees shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser.
(ii) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Purchaser’s broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date but is subject to the cooperation of the Purchaser’s broker (the so-called DTC participant).
(iii) The Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Subscription Shares as set forth in this section is predicated upon the Corporation’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Subscription Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the US Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

In the case of such information is being collected indirectly by them for the purpose of the administration and enforcement of the applicable securities laws and the Purchaser authorizes the indirect collection of such information by them.
25. | Risk Factors |
Purchase of Debentures pursuant to this Offering should only be made after consulting with independent and qualified sources of investment and tax advice. Investment in the Debentures at this time is speculative due to the stage of the Corporation’s development. An investment in Debentures is appropriate only for Subscribers who are prepared to invest money for three (3) years and who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. Subscribers must rely on the management of the Corporation. Any investment in the Corporation at this stage involves a high degree of risk. The following additional risk factors are inherent in an investment in the Debentures:
1. Redemptions: There can be no assurance that if additional funding is required by the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Debentures on maturity, that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Corporation, or at all. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds on hand to redeem any or all of the Debentures and its assets do not mature or cannot be sold quickly enough, it will not be able to redeem any or all of the Debentures on maturity.
2. No Covenants: The covenants in the Debenture are limited and are not designed to protect the holders of Debentures in the event of a material adverse change in the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, or if the Corporation is not successful in effecting its business plan or finding an investor who will invest in the Corporation and whom the Corporation may use to repay the Debentures. The Debentures provide for the payment of interest only at maturity and investors in the Debentures will not have the benefit of amortized principal payments or any sinking fund payments by the Corporation. Further, there is no interest reserve, and as such, the Corporation is not setting aside in a separate fund the capital to make such interest payments, which may result in its inability to make such payments.
3. Tax Consequences: The tax consequences associated with an investment in the Debentures may be subject to changes in federal and state tax laws. There can be no assurance that the tax laws will not be changed in a manner that will adversely affect tax consequences to Subscribers holding or disposing of the Debentures.
4. No Right to Vote: Debenture holders will have no right to vote on matters relating to the Corporation. Exclusive authority and responsibility for managing the Corporation rests with management of the Corporation and those persons, consultants and advisors retained by management on behalf of the Corporation. Accordingly, Subscribers should appreciate that they will be relying on the good faith, experience, expertise and ability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and other parties for the success of the business of the Corporation.
5. Bankruptcy. Holders of Debentures may lose a substantial amount or all of their investment in the Debentures if the Corporation files for bankruptcy. If the Corporation is unable to meet its payment obligations under the Debentures or for other financial obligations the Corporation has or may have, the Corporation may seek protection from its creditors under the Federal bankruptcy code. A bankruptcy will have the effect of stopping all collection actions while the Corporation or a bankruptcy trustee, under court supervision, arranges either a plan of repayment or a sale of assets designed to pay off the creditors. A bankruptcy repayment plan or asset sale may not be on terms acceptable to Purchasers or upon terms that are adequate to repay all or a substantial portion of the Debentures.
6. Limited History: The Corporation has limited operational history. Accordingly, there is limited information available to a Subscriber upon which to base an evaluation of the Corporation and its business and prospects. The Corporation is in the early stages of its business and therefore is subject to the risks associated with early-stage companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability, the need to raise additional funding, the evolving and unpredictable nature of the Corporation’s business and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in doing what it is required to do to overcome these risks. No assurance can be given that the Corporation’s business activities will be successful.
7. Illiquid Investment: An investment in the Debenture of the Corporation is an illiquid investment. There is currently no public market through which the Debenture of the Corporation may be resold.
8. No Deposit Insurance: The Debentures are not insured against loss through the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurance company or program.
9. No Independent Counsel: No independent counsel has been retained on behalf of the Subscribers; and no independent counsel has conducted any due diligence and reviewed the structure and the documentation of the Offering on their behalf to assess potential issues and risks for Debenture Holders.
10. Competitive Industry: The regulated gaming industry in Italy and the U.S. in which the Corporation primarily operates is, and will continue to be, very competitive. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to compete successfully or that the level of competition and pressure on pricing will not affect its margins.
11. General Market Risk: The Corporation and its affiliates may be adversely affected by a general deterioration in economic conditions or a deterioration affecting specific industries, products or geographies: A recession or downturn in the economy or the deterioration in the economic conditions affecting specific industries, geographic locations and/or products could make it difficult for the Corporation and its affiliates to originate new business and maintain existing business.
12. Liquidity Risk: If the Corporation requires new capital, it may need to raise additional funds. If it is unable to raise such capital, it would need to curtail its growth and its business, and its ability to service or redeem Debentures could be adversely impacted.
13. Private Placement Risk: Investing in private placements like this Offering involve significant risks not present in investments in public offerings. Securities sold through private placements are typically not publicly traded and, therefore, are less liquid. Additionally, investors may receive restricted securities that may be subject to holding period requirements. Companies seeking private placement investments tend to be in earlier stages of development and have not yet been fully tested in the public marketplace. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.
14. Other Material Risks: In addition, a Subscriber should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Annual Report of the Corporation on Form 10-K filed by the Corporation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and each quarterly report on Form 10-Q or other report or filing filed thereafter by the Corporation, which are available xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx.
