THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”)
is
made and entered into effective as of December 29, 2006, by and between New
World Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
P&S Spirit, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Subscriber”),
and

RECITALS:
On
December 29, 2006, the Company and the Subscriber entered into a Stock
Subscription Agreement (the “Original
Subscription Agreement”),
which
the parties hereto now desire to amend and restate in its entirety, effective
as
of the date of the execution thereof.
Pursuant
to the terms and conditions of hereof, the Company desires to issue and sell,
and the Subscriber desires to purchase, shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Series
A Preferred Stock”),
as
well as warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase additional shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein.
The
Subscriber’s agreement to enter into this Agreement is conditioned upon
achieving a certain proportional stock ownership. The Kamrats and the Subscriber
believe that it is in their interests as shareholders to facilitate the
Subscriber’s investment in the Company at a price both advantageous to the
Company and acceptable to the Subscriber. To accommodate those ends, the
parties
have agreed that the Kamrats will transfer a total of 3,827,655 shares of
Qualmax Common Stock (as defined below) to the Subscriber. In addition, to
accommodate the Kamrats’ willingness to transfer the Qualmax Common Stock to the
Subscriber, the Company has agreed to issue to the Kamrats a Warrant
representing the right to purchase 9.300378 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock
(convertible into 27,777,778 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.01/share). X. Xxxxxx owns a total of 6,221,053 shares of common stock,
par
value $0.001 per share (the “Qualmax
Common Stock”),
of Qualmax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Qualmax”),
and
X. Xxxxxx owns a total of 6,328,153 shares of Qualmax Common Stock. Qualmax,
in
turn, owns 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which shares of Series
A
Preferred Stock represent, immediately prior to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, approximately 86%
of
the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company.
NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and
conditions herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
amend and restate the Original Subscription Agreement in its entirety as

therein, to others, (ii) with a view to the distribution of such shares of

(iii) with a view to underwriting any such distribution, and the

“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated under the Act.
4.
Representations and Warranties of the
Subscriber.
The
Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof
and, except to the extent any representation or warranty is made as of a
particular date, if the Tranche B-1 Closing shall occur, as of the date of
the
Tranche B-1 Closing and if the Tranche B-2 Closing shall occur, the date
of the
Tranche B-2 Closing, as follows:
(a) The
Subscriber is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing
and
in good standing under the laws of State of Nevada.
(b) The
execution, delivery and performance by the Subscriber of this Agreement and
the
Ancillary Agreements and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby are within the powers of the Subscriber and
have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Subscriber.
10
This
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been duly executed and delivered
on
behalf of the Subscriber. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute
valid and binding agreements of the Subscriber, enforceable against the
Subscriber in accordance with their respective terms.
(c) The
Subscriber understands that the Tranche A Shares, the Tranche B Shares, the
Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Tranche
A
Shares and, to the extent issued hereunder, the Tranche B Shares, and the
shares
of Series A Stock (or Common Stock) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(collectively, the “Securities”),
have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”)
or any
state securities laws, and are being offered and sold in reliance upon certain
transactional exemptions from the registration provisions of such laws, and
are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the Federal and state securities
laws inasmuch and that under Federal and state securities laws and applicable
regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the
Act
and applicable state securities laws only in certain limited circumstances.
(d) The
Subscriber is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment,
not
as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof
or
the granting of any participation therein in violation of the securities
laws,
and has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of
such
interest or granting any participation therein in violation of the securities
laws. No one else has a beneficial interest in the Securities. The Subscriber
does not intend to and will not resell the Securities unless, at a future
date,
they are registered under the Act or a specific exemption from registration
is
available to the Subscriber in connection with any such resale. The Subscriber
understands that an exemption from such registration may be available pursuant
to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule
144”)
by the
Securities and Exchange Commission but that in no event may the Subscriber
sell
the Securities pursuant to Rule 144 prior to the expiration of a one-year
period
after the Subscriber has acquired the Securities and a minimum two-year holding
period may be required in some cases; and that any sales pursuant to Rule
144
can only be made in full compliance with the provisions
thereof.
(e) The
Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
under the Act.
(f) The
Subscriber understands that each certificate representing the Securities
will
bear on its face a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES AS DEFINED IN RULE 144
PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE
DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT (A) IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (B) IN COMPLIANCE WITH
RULE
144 AND AN EXEMPTION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (C) PURSUANT
TO
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED.”
11
The
Subscriber further understands that the Company may place a stop transfer
order
pertaining to the certificates evidencing the Securities with the transfer
agent
to the same effect as such restrictive legend.
(g) The
Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial, taxation, securities,
investments and other business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the Subscriber’s investment in the Securities or has
obtained the advice of an attorney, certified public accountant or registered
investment advisor with respect to the merits and risks of its investment
in the
Securities. The Subscriber has not relied on the Company or any of its officers,
directors, stockholders or professional advisors for advice as to the economic,
legal or tax consequences of an investment in the Securities. The Subscriber
understands that the Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in a
development stage business and additional risks that are inherent in the
Company’s business, including, without limitation, those set forth in the
Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2006 and those set forth in the
Company’s Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Subscriber
has taken full cognizance of and understands those risks and the effect they
may
have on the Subscriber’s investment.
(h) The
Subscriber has been provided with the opportunity to visit the places of
business of the Company and ask questions of, and receive answers from, the
Company and its officers, employees and agents concerning the business and
financial condition of the Company and the Subscriber has received satisfactory
answers to any such questions and has no further questions at this
time.
(i) The
Subscriber understands that its investment in the Securities and the Company
is
speculative and may remain so for an indefinite period, that substantial
additional investments in the Company may be required and that there is no
assurance that any such additional investments can be obtained, and acknowledges
that it is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities
should it be determined ultimately to be worthless.
(j) The
Subscriber recognizes the speculative nature and risks of loss associated
with
an investment in the Company and represents that the Securities subscribed
for
constitute an investment which is suitable and consistent with the Subscriber’s
investment program. The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the
economic risk of its investment in the Securities, including a possible loss
of
its entire investment, has adequate means of providing for its current needs
and
contingencies and has no need to liquidity in its investment in the Company.
The
Subscriber acknowledges that it may find it impossible to liquidate the
investment at a time when it may be desirable to do so, or at any other time.
The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and its investment in
the
Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
12
(k) Neither
the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has offered, offered to sell,
offered for sale or sold to the Subscriber by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising.
(l) Neither
the execution, delivery, nor performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement by the Subscriber violates or conflicts with, creates (with or
without
the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both) a default under or a
lien
upon any of the Subscriber’s assets or properties pursuant to, entitles any
party to terminate, or requires the consent, approval or order of any government
or governmental agency or other person or entity under (i) any material
agreement to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber or
any
of its properties or assets is bound or (ii) any statute, law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree binding upon or applicable to the Subscriber or
its
assets or properties.
(m) The
Subscriber
has
been advised by the Company and understands that the Securities are being
offered and
issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(2) of
the
Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Act, or both, relating to
transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and under similar
exemptions under certain state securities laws; that this transaction has
not
been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any United States Federal or
state
agency or self-regulatory organization where an exemption is being relied
upon;
and that the Company’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the
representations made by the Subscriber in this Agreement.
(n) There
is
no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary which has been
retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Subscriber who might
be
entitled to any fee or commission from the Subscriber, the Company or any
of
their respective affiliates upon consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or by the Ancillary Agreements.

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each Ancillary
Agreement to which the Company is a party, and the issuance and sale of the

not
violate or result in a breach of, or entitle any party (with or without the

or
bylaws of the Company, or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment

any of
their respective operations, businesses, properties or assets are subject,
except to the extent any such breach, termination, violation or default would

(i) Since
September 15, 2006, the Company has made all filings with the Commission
that it
has been required to make under the Act and the Exchange Act (the “Commission

As of
their respective filing dates, such filings already filed by the Company

neither
the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf will offer any of the Series
A

offer to acquire any of the same from anyone so as to render the issuance
and
sale of such securities subject to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. The Company has not offered or sold the Series A Preferred
Stock
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, as such terms
are
used in Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.
5. Registration
Rights.
(a) If
at any
time after the date hereof and up to the earlier of (i) such time as the
Subscriber may sell all of the Tranche A Shares, the Tranche B Shares, the
Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Tranche
A Shares or Tranche B Shares, or upon exercise of the Warrants (as used in
this
Section
5
the
“Shares”)
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitation as to volume,
(ii) two (2) years following the date hereof and (iii) the Company registering
the Covered Shares (as defined below) for resale under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the Company proposes to register for sale any equity securities
under the Act, it will at such time give written notice to the Subscriber
of its
intention to
do
so.
Upon
written request of the Subscriber given within 15 days after the giving of
any
such notice by the Company, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to
cause
the Shares, if applicable (the “Covered
Shares”),
for
which registration is requested to be promptly registered under the Act as
a
part of the offering being made under the same registration statement proposed
to be filed by the Company; provided,
however,
if the
offering to which the proposed registration statement relates is to be
distributed by or through an underwriter approved by the Company, the Subscriber
may at its option agree to sell the Covered Shares through such underwriter
on
the same terms and conditions as the underwriter agrees to sell the other
securities proposed to be registered, and provided
further,
that,
if such underwriter determines that the inclusion of all such Covered Shares
for
which registration is requested would have an adverse effect on the offering,
then the size of the offering shall be reduced accordingly, and the Subscriber
shall be entitled hereunder to participate in the underwriting and register
the
Covered Shares on a pro rata basis with the Company and any other parties
participating in such offering, or in such other quantity as may be permitted
by
the underwriter.
16
(b) The
Company shall prepare and as promptly as reasonably practicable file with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) all amendments,
post-effective amendments and supplements to a registration statement pursuant
to Section 5(a) (and the prospectus used in connection therewith) as may
be
necessary under the Act and the regulations of the Commission to permit the
sale
of the Covered Shares to the public.
(c) In
the
event of the participation of the Subscriber in a registration as set forth
in
Section 5(a), the Subscriber shall promptly furnish to the Company such
information as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required
in
connection with the registration and related proceedings, and shall represent
to
the accuracy of such information. In addition, the Subscriber agrees to enter
into any customary documents or other agreements with the Company or the
underwriters in connection with the registration and related proceedings,
to
contain such representations and warranties and such other terms as are
customarily contained in such agreements (including, without limitation,
customary indemnification provisions), provided
that the
Subscriber shall not be required to make any representations, warranties
or
agreements other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding
the
Subscriber, the Subscriber’s intended method of distribution, and any other
representations, warranties or agreements required by law.
6. Survival

All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive

Agreement.

to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and supersedes all negotiations, agreements,
representations, warranties, commitments, whether in writing or oral, prior
to
the date hereof, including the Original Subscription Agreement.
17
10. Successors
and Assigns.
All of
the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of
and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of
the
parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber may not assign
its
rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company;
provided,
however,
the
Subscriber may assign its rights under this Agreement, to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx,
M.D.
(“Passen”),
or to
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Ph.D. (“Xxxxxx”)
any
member of the immediate family or either, trusts for which either and/or
members
of his immediate family are the sole beneficiaries, and business entities
wholly
owned by either and/or members of his immediate family, without the consent
of
the Company.
11. Execution
and Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts
together shall constitute one instrument. Each party shall receive a duplicate
original of the counterpart copy or copies executed by it. Facsimile
transmission of any signed original counterpart and/or retransmission of
any
signed facsimile transmission shall be deemed the same as the delivery of
an
original.
12. Governing
Law and Forum.
This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard
to its principles of conflicts of laws.
13. Severability.
In the
event any provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision
to
any party shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary
to
law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and
effect.
14. Expenses.
Each
party hereto shall bear the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party
in
the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the
Ancillary Agreements.
15. Specific
Performance.
Each
party acknowledges that irreparable damage would occur to the other parties
hereto in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the
Ancillary Agreements were not performed by such party in accordance with
their
specific terms or were otherwise breached by such party and that money damages
would not provide an adequate remedy to the non-breaching parties. It is
accordingly agreed that the non-breaching parties hereto shall be entitled
to an
injunction and other equitable remedies to prevent breaches by the breaching
party of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof or thereof in any court of the United States
or
any state thereof or any other court having jurisdiction, this being in addition
to any other remedy to which such non-breaching parties may be entitled at
law
or in equity or otherwise.
16. Mutual
Drafting.
The
parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers who
have
carefully negotiated the provisions hereof and each Ancillary Agreement.
As a
consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of any laws
or
rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of
any
particular clause should be applied to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement
and therefore waive their effects.
18
17. Confidentiality.
The
Subscriber acknowledges that in connection with the execution and delivery
of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, it has received,
and
may in the future receive, material non-public information concerning the
Company and its financial condition, prospects and/or results of operations
(“Confidential
Information”).
The
Subscriber covenants and agrees that it will not use, reproduce, distribute
and/or disclose (orally or in writing), any Confidential Information, in
whole
or in part, except to its advisors and representatives and solely for the
purpose of evaluating its purchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and/or Common Stock, as applicable, hereunder. Any information provided to
the
Subscriber will not be considered “Confidential Information” if and to the
extent such information is or becomes publicly available through no fault
of the
Subscriber or as a result of the Subscriber being legally compelled to disclose
such information pursuant to any court or other government order or any other
applicable legal procedure; provided,
however,
that if
the Subscriber is legally compelled to disclose any such information pursuant
to
any court or other government order or any other applicable legal procedure,
it
shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any such request or order
in
time sufficient to enable the Company to seek an appropriate protective order
and shall provide the Company with reasonable assistance in obtaining such
protective order.
