and Warranties of the Company.
The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber the
following:
a. Organization
and Qualification.
The
Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of
the State of Nevada. The Company has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as currently conducted, other than such failures that would
not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, properties or financial condition (a “Material
Adverse Effect”).
The
Company is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which
the
failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
b. Authorization.
As of
the Closing, all action on the part of the Company, its board of directors,
officers and existing stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrant
and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder
shall have been taken, and this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and
the Warrant, assuming due execution by the parties hereto and thereto, will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles
limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other
equitable remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights.
c. Valid
Issuance of the Common Stock and the Warrant.
The
shares of Common Stock and the Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed
herein, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant, when issued
and
delivered in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, shall be duly and validly
issued and will be free of restrictions on transfer directly or indirectly
created by the Company other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement and the terms of the Warrant and under
applicable federal and state securities laws.
d. Governmental
Consents.
No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification,
designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local
governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection
with
the offer, sale or issuance of the PPO Units, except for the following: (i)
the
filing of such notices as may be required under the Securities Act and (ii)
the
compliance with any applicable state securities laws, which compliance will
have
occurred within the appropriate time periods therefor.
e. Litigation.
There
are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best
of
the Company’s knowledge, threatened before any court, administrative agency or
other governmental body against the Company which question the validity of
this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant, or the right of
the
Company to enter into any of them, or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or which would reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party or subject to, and none
of
its assets is bound by, the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment
or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
f. Compliance
with Other Instruments.
The
Company is not in violation or default of any provision of its Articles of
Incorporation, each as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, except for
such failures as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company is not in violation or default of any provision of any
material instrument, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, contract, commitment,
judgment, decree, order or obligation to which it is a party or by which it
or
any of its properties or assets are bound which would reasonably be expected
to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of its knowledge, the Company is
not
in violation or default of any provision of any federal, state or local statute,
rule or governmental regulation which would reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
issuance and sale of the PPO Units, will not result in any such violation,
be in
conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving
of
notice, a default under any such provision, require any consent or waiver under
any such provision (other than any consents or waivers that have been obtained),
or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company pursuant to any such
provision.
g. Certain
Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and
the representations and warranties made by all other purchasers of PPO Units
in
the Offering, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the
offer
and sale of the PPO Units by the Company to the Subscriber hereunder.
h. No
General Solicitation.
Neither
the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold
any of the PPO Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(within the meaning of Regulation D).
4. Representations
and Warranties of the Subscriber. The
Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company the following:
a. The
Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and designated representatives, if any, have
the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to
evaluate the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Company,
and
have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other considerations
relating to, the purchase of PPO Units and the tax consequences of the
investment, and have the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment.
b. The
Subscriber is acquiring the PPO Units for investment for its own account and
not
with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the PPO Units, the shares
of
Common Stock and the Warrant have not been registered under the Securities
Act
or any state securities laws, by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
investment intent as expressed herein. The Subscriber further represents that
it
does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect
to any of the PPO Units, the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant. The
Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the offering of the PPO Units
pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act
nor
under the state securities laws on the ground that the sale provided for in
this
Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
c. The
Subscriber understands that no public market now exists, and there never will
be
a public market for, the PPO Units, that an active public market for the
Company’s Common Stock does not now exist and that there may never be an active
public market for the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering.
d. The
Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and designated representatives, if any, have
received and reviewed information about the Company and have had an opportunity
to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its
management. The Subscriber understands that such discussions, as well as any
written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the
aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be
material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and
except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information
and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any
information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such
information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company,
which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may
not
be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.
Additionally, the Subscriber understands and represents that he is purchasing
the Units notwithstanding the fact that the Company may disclose in the future
certain material information the Subscriber has not received, including
financial statements of the Company for the quarterly period ended June 30,
2008, which statements are currently being prepared and are expected to be
filed
with the SEC on or prior to August 14, 2008 and incorporated by reference into
the Memorandum, and any subsequent period financial statements that will be
filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the Memorandum, that
he is
not relying on any such information in connection with his purchase of the
Units
and that he waives any right of action with respect to the nondisclosure to
him
prior to his purchase of the Units of any such information.
e. As
of the
Closing, all action on the part of Subscriber, and its officers, directors
and
partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the performance
of
all obligations of the Subscriber hereunder and thereunder shall have been
taken, and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, assuming due
execution by the parties hereto and thereto, constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability
of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and
(ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.
f. The
Subscriber either (i) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the
Securities Act or (ii) is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Regulation S as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act,
and, in each case, shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such
status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
g. The
Subscriber, if a non-U.S. Person, agrees that it is acquiring the Shares in
an
offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S and hereby represents to the
Company as follows:
(i) Subscriber
is outside the United States when receiving and executing this Subscription
Agreement;
(ii) Subscriber
has not acquired the Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in,
any
“directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the United States in
respect of the Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the
purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of,
conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Shares;
provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose of the
Shares pursuant to registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and
any
applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from
such
registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein;
(iii) The
Subscriber understands and agrees that offers and sales of any of the Shares
prior to the expiration of a period of one year after the date of transfer
of
the Shares under this Subscription Agreement (the “Distribution Compliance
Period”), shall only be made in compliance with the safe harbor provisions set
forth in Regulation S, pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities
Act or an exemption therefrom, and that all offers and sales after the
Distribution Compliance Period shall be made only in compliance with the
registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and
in
each case only in accordance with all applicable securities laws;
(iv) The
Subscriber understands and agrees not to engage in any hedging transactions
involving the Shares prior to the end of the Distribution Compliance Period
unless such transactions are in compliance with the Securities Act;
and
(v) The
Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full
observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation
to
subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including:
(a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the
Shares; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase;
(c)
any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the
income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the
purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Such Subscriber’s
subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the
Shares, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the
Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
h. The
Subscriber or its duly authorized representative realizes that because of the
inherently speculative nature of investments of the kind contemplated by the
Company, the Company’s investment results may be expected to fluctuate from
month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high
degree of financial and market risk that can result in substantial or, at times,
even total losses.
i. The
Subscriber has adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated
financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the economic risk for an
indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity of the investment in
the
PPO Units and could afford complete loss of such investment.
j. The
Subscriber is not subscribing for PPO Units as a result of or subsequent to
any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or
the
internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a
subscription by a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection
with investments in securities generally.
k. The
Subscriber agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the
Registration Rights Agreement and to perform all obligations thereby imposed
upon it.
l. All
of
the information that the Subscriber has heretofore furnished or which is set
forth herein is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement, and,
if
there should be any material change in such information prior to the admission
of the undersigned to the Company, the Subscriber will immediately furnish
revised or corrected information to the Company.

in
the future; and the undersigned will not immediately be entitled to the benefits
of Rule 144 with respect to the PPO Units, the shares of Common Stock and the
Warrant.

XXX.
The

stamped, if (a) such Shares are being sold pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (b) such holder delivers to the
Company an opinion of counsel, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the Company
that a disposition of the Shares is being made pursuant to an exemption from
such registration.
